broadly yes

reactionaries are framed as representative populists

people like Mamdani get framed as dangerous extreme 'woke' populists

Maine U.S. Senate Election 2026: Latest Polls Track the latest polls in the Maine U.S. Senate election.

the article claims he is still polling well but after a few clicks through to find it there's very little evidence, nothing from this year and only dem aligned groups have him still leading after the tattoo news

www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

the far right are the people blaming everything on foreign conspiracies

it's more that the establishment consistently tries to present that position as popular opinion

even though it isn't that popular

the accelerant here has been the strength of popular opposition to institutional racism and sexism and other forms of bigotry

manufacturing consent doesn't work on everyone, but it has worked on the people who think it does

begging everyone to not believe it when you hear that they’re “de-escalating” here. it’s actively getting worse: abductions are up, legal observer arrests are up, and ice aggression is up. please keep talking about our neighbors! don’t be placated!

you're assuming he didn't based on no evidence beyond your own lack of knowledge

and that isn't even relevant here

this just proves that you don't actually have a counter argument

you expect people to be obligated to agree with you

I think this issue comes from people assuming that existing formal authorities are the only possible source of truth. I don't think that's something inherent. I think it's driven by privilege and by political ideology.

Sick populations struggle to fight back.

We know what needs doing. Lets support our communities health. Mask up every time you're in public.

Keeping our communities healthy and alive is the very core of anti-fascism right now. Do good.

based on assuming I was denying any connection

but that didn't happen

the rational actor is basically just the Calvinist god

an entity with perfect knowledge and perfect logic sorting everything and everyone into neat tidy boxes labelled Good and Bad

I don't think it's a lack of education that makes it appealing.

I think it's being educated to believe that 'pure' logic disconnected from reality is something that people should strive for. And it takes privilege to believe that that's a good idea.

people mistake socially constructed with meaning ‘fake.’ race might be socially constructed but also is systemically engendered, materialized, and enforced.

Flattening our differences only helps white supremacy win. Only white people benefit from this, because they want to live in a world where everyone's the same. Meaning exactly like them.

Europe produced its Western Civilization by stealing from the rest of the world. That's introductory.

you're aggressively defending white privilege and attacking anyone who criticises it

you obviously only care about yourself here

it's really gross

muted

:( Please help.

I just wanna keep us inside. And keep our things. Which we don’t have bc we’re unhoused. I am asking for so little after being deprived of so much.

that's how so many very well educated people end up involved

you were declaring your refusal to listen to people with different opinions

You are not addressing me in good faith so I will no longer respond to you.

imo

hell is a world without Other people

where everything is smooth and beige and quiet

and dead

I did not reference an article or a video.

My opinion does not rely on just one source. Your assumptions are wrong. I do not accept them.

you assumed I must be lying

this is another example of the problem under discussion

people so attached to norms and assumptions that they cannot tolerate any criticism of them

it sounds you're absolutely certain that there could be no valid reason to criticise them

and that means critics must be unreasonable people who must be ignored
