This doesn't trigger any dysphoria or self hatred for me I quite like being androgynous but ngl I do miss the fruits of my cismale passing privilege

I hate it when I'm the only person that gets asked their pronouns but I think that I have mastered the androgynous transition so well that people genuinely may not be able to tell which way I'm trans. lol

I do not care if lenin, trotsky, mao, ect ect ect are in communist heaven or hell I care about whether their theory and strategy win the class war. Which unfortunately reality has demonstrated is not the case.

I think all socialists would do well to engage with actual science and its philosophy.

and not (most charitably) very smart men who had revolutionary ideas but were still human beings who were flawed, and thus had flawed ideas. I think there is a great deal to gain from a marxist analysis and I would say that he should be foundational. But orthodoxy is the destroyer of science.

I find it ironic that while MLs proclaim that they are scientists and that their ideology has the sole claim of scientific socialism; they often are the most preoccupied with defending the righteousness of their idols and favorite states. They cite marx and lenin as though they are prophets-

There's another dynamic going on, which no one in the mainstream press I've seen has touched (though @polgreen.bsky.social got closest), and that's the fact that it is unprecedented to ban or heavily restrict a treatment on the basis that the evidence isn't high quality enough.

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

The tragedy of John Fetterman is that he used to dress like a slob but have an encouraging spirt, making him an Oaf of Rugged Individuality, one of America’s great oaf groups. But now he dresses like a slob and whines all the time, making him an Oaf of Misery

Trump is very unique for a modern Republican as he has thrust the United States into multiple foreign misadventures and destroyed the economy

Helping other people. It reminds me that I'm not as powerless as I believe I am in my most depressive state.

there is this one Jansport back back ad that played on literally every YouTube video that's so fucking annoying I hate it so much

omg Kendrick hi

saw this in the wild

Yeah because the current order totally worked for democrats the last 5 most important elections of our lifetime.

Advertising should be illegal

Two Marines in army combat outfits and guns are seen detaining a young black man in a black and white top, wearing sunglasses with air pods in his ears.

BREAKING: US Marines deployed to Los Angeles have carried out the first known detention of a civilian, the US military confirms.

It was confirmed to Reuters after they shared this image with the US military.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

I'm kind of like if a straight tomboy was a guy

eye twitching

They're literally doing the meme

That it's gonna be messy. There's going to be bad days where I curl up in bed and cry and feel hideous. That it's hard and scary to be Trans right now.

And that none of that comes close to not making it worth it. Best decision I ever made, no contest.

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

I am already struggling in the present. To think about the future and how it will take us at least decades to recover what we'll lose fills me with so much dread I literally cannot think about it. My mind just shuts down.

Saying anything other than "Israel is attempting to ethnically cleanse Gaza" is literally genocide denial. The fact that you had waited so long to make a statement after so much public scrutiny told us everything we needed to know, we don't need you to fill in the blanks.

100 years ago, let alone in the modern day.

Feminists and anti-imperialists definitely don't suffer from this as much. Which is probably why feminist and anti colonial movements have been leagues more successful than any anticapitalist one lol.

Oh yeah I am definitely guilty of this too. I don't think its bad to read historical theory and there is a lot that can be learned from it. But I think almost universally radicals have failed to adapt to combat modern capitalism. We are still advocating for revolutionary strategies that didn't work

When anarchists accuse MLs of being consumed in 100+ year old theory that has little application to the present it's basically the kettle calling the pot black lol.
