Our challenge is to harness social media to make this work again
People don't understand things like DEI naturally, but when its explained, people get it. Without explanation, people latch on to easy ideas because they are just that.
I know we are contending with a hostile media environment worldwide, but we need to cut through
We on the left have allowed right-wing cancer to grow. Instead of focusing on economic and societal progress, we have instead taken the bait of fascists and foregrounded culture wars. Instead of highlighting why we do things, we berate those who ask. In short, we haven't brought along everyone

And a big example of why leftism doesn't have more traction. A slavish dedication to Marx makes you as bad as the funnies on the other side

Philosophically though, if ACAB, then all criminals aren't, which is a logical fallacy
What about Ulysses Klaue?

06.02.2025 04:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I feel like US society feels more like Gotham or Star City than the hope of Metropolis. Its the environment where Green Arrows grow and Batmen flourish. I know they are comics, but where are those that take action against inequality, oppression and this modern fascism?
06.02.2025 04:47 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 2 π 2Do you think its wise in the current environment concentrating so many fascist targets in one place?

Good luck to those who will try to resist fascism, but you've got it now. Word to the wise... Try to move outside you bubbles and engage everyone. It helps
Happy New Year everyone... May 2025 be sane, safe and enjoyable, despite what politics will throw at our world.
Hopefully this is the year of positive change for our world
