if you dislike trump & like obama you don't have principles, you have opinions about manners

solidarity with the islamic republic of iran, may the filthy zionist entity burn

why does this cursed app keep recommending me liberal zionists on my discovery feed? 🥴 I keep instantly blocking but they just keep coming

everyone around me knew this would be a victory for abusers and misogynists but we all simply felt insane having to listen to the general discourse 🙃

bad advice i got as a 19 year old baby marxist was this idea that you have no reason to read contemporary work in the social sciences, economics, etc. bc it's all bourgeois ideology. 9 yrs later & reading all that has either helped bolster my marxist convictions or formed better counterarguments

this is such a liberal take (extra points for copjacketing)... zionists literally are carrying out genocide?? each one of them deserves much more persecution than this isolated incident of retaliation

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

And perhaps I'm just justifying my own "self-harming with bad scholarship" tendencies, but I have to say that reading critically is how you develop the ability to question, to not imbibe what's placed in front of you, to develop your own perspective without taking what's presented to you as truth.

Me: I hate capitalism

My replies: nerdjpg do you condemn modern China

Normal people: hi how are you

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

Once you notice how the worst, most self-absorbed theory ascribes phenomena to identity essences instead of asking how oppressive forces act upon us, you get why it's so narrow in scope.

No guys, leftist infighting is a huge problem. I was just told to "shut the fuck up" for saying we should strategically sacrifice minorities. It's like we're not even on the same page

“At least I got to say slurs again,” the finance guy who never stopped saying slurs thinks to himself as he opens his 37th story office window and looks at the sidewalk below.

LMAO so much for sticking to the "principle of the discussion" 😂 comparing the dprk and the us is braindead, regardless of how amazing you think the culture that produced you is (and finally I'm chinese, not white lol). log off bluesky and go touch some grass

wow, you're so insufferably arrogant yet so wrong. the "principle" of equivocating the dprk's structural forces to the us' structural forces shows you have no significant knowledge of either. stop being racist and start criticising the us on its own terms 🙄

"Terrorism" is a socially constructed term. If Luigi murdered a homeless Black man, the US would call him a hero. If he killed poor/sick Americans every day via insurance policy, they'd say "what about his family?" What’s happening is disgusting & anyone with a brain sees right through it

bret stephens is the journalistic equivalent of sewer sludge 😂

no odious, far-fetched, sycophantic rituals of worship to the ruling class is beneath him

the ceo assassin (unsurprisingly) turned out to be a confused right winger. i'll still give him credit for 💥💥ing someone who actually had real social power instead of school children or minorities. after all, they just declared killing black, homeless, mentally ill people is totally fine in ny 🙄

Syria: Where Anti-Imperialism Meets Revolution On the limitations of single-narrative analysis in complex geopolitical situations

“Western propaganda leverages black-and-white thinking to paint a one-dimensional narrative that is used to justify consent for, and stifle opposition to, whatever suits the agenda of the the US Empire.”

My thoughts on the New Syrian Revolution.

🙄 don't you have children's beheadings to support?

not trying to be pessimistic about the situation in syria atm but if israeli-turkish backed takfiri actually threaten (or god forbid, take) damascus, the resistance axis will be cut in half. this is why their leader is being promoted on cnn and times of israel

tweet from user linkofsunshine: people on twitter will really be like ‘you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a Walmart’ and then not firebomb a Walmart

Tweet from user linkofsunshine: not to be one annoying moralist but cheering on the assassination of a random CEO is bad both morally and politically. His death does literally 0 to make the world a better place

well well well

NYPD standing at an MTA turnstile vs NYPD being asked to do police work

if you think shooting a healthcare CEO is bad just imagine he was killed by market forces and you’ll go back to thinking it’s good

an unidentified person wearing a black hoodie holding something in his hands labelled "Ballot", which is pointed at the back of Brian Thomspon, the late CEO of UnitedHealth, labelled "Ballot Box"

of course i support electoralism

Engels on 'Social Murder' When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results, we call that deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call this deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or the bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live - forces them ... to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence - knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual ... Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845 [1967]), p. 126 (Panther Press)

The idea of “social murder” is super useful, and we need to get comfortable using it. Engels is the best, man - reading him feels like finally acknowledging the obvious reality everyone wants you to ignore

this only suggests to me that everyone needs to keep being meaner to those in power. the wealthy elite need to be scared

this happened in the surveillance epicenter of the city. a bazillion cameras all over, even 16 years ago. for this to still be open is wild.

I swear libs are just so cursed for no reason 🫠 "orange man bad but my team's genocidal rapist freak does the same thing, it's good"

no principles, no accountability, no analysis... just politics as team sports
