I drew the three stooges for my friend

"I MUST control (whatever)" is the big lie CPTSD tells us. Demanding we "control" much of anything in our lives sets us up for profound frustration. Trauma recovery asks us to focus on gaining incrementally more INFLUENCE over what WE can affect in our lives. "Control" is a trap.

No matter how thoroughly CPTSD is kicking our ass on any given day, we have SOME influence (not "control," INFLUENCE) over what we say to ourselves, what we visualize & focus on, & how we use our body & breathing. Focus there. That's where your leverage, your wiggle room, is.

Affluent white liberals over the age of 60 that have never suffered a day in their miserable lives sure do like to talk down to communists about how we "don't understand" anything.

These people were instrumental in creating the hell we live in today, yet they blame everyone, except themselves.

Please stop using the empire's terminology of dehumanization.
Invasions and slaughter and mass murders are not "war."
Killing, rape, and torture are what they are.
People are PEOPLE, not migrants, immigrants, terrorists, convicts, or anything else.
And children are always children.

The message right now appears to be that if you get the right form stamped and promise no US soldiers will stub their fingers pressing the button, it would be cool as hell to launch an ICBM at Tehran

There's no secret combination of people in charge who could carry out a moral or careful war in Iran. We have to kill the idea that everything is on a spectrum.

The people and countries being targeted by the US or Israel don't in fact need your Principled™ condemnation of them even if you're ostensibly against a broader war. That's just chauvinism

Saying stuff like, "IRI was bad/Khamenei was evil but I'm against the war" is pretty useless. Better just to say nothing at all instead of giving any legitimacy to the imperialists agenda

Yep. The US and Israel wouldn't feel bold enough to attack them in the first place had they actually possessed nukes.

Damn I wish Iran actually had nukes.

Way too many people want to blame individual actors without considering how they represent larger systems. There's a reason they were allowed to gain power.

Just Schumer, not Dems.

Just Trump, not the US.

Just Netanyahu, not Israel.

Just Elon Musk, not capitalism.

You sound incredibly foolish.

Dems aren't hapless bunglers that don't understand power. They are ruthlessly effective, malicious actors. They are pure evil, often worse than the Republicans, because they've conned million of people into believing that they're the "good guys," while they deliver the entire country to Nazis.

it’s not coincidence that the US top three enemies at the moment are countries that have supported Black liberation movements over the last 100 years.

At least part of the motivation for claiming Kidnapping Maduro or bombing Iran is a distraction from the Epstein files is that some of the people saying this like those things so they feel Trump must be only doing things they approve of to distract them from their efforts re: the Epstein files.

Offering diet fascism never works. People who want fascism want the real deal.

In this case “win” just means moving the Overton window so far right that nazi is the “centrist” position. Jfc

they want this to continue even after he’s gone, enough said

Republicans know what they want: An Antebellum South slave gulag but for the entire world, with technology to punish and constrain. It's horrific and evil but they definitely want it and in rare instances that they retreat or compromise on that it's tactical to that end.

What negotiation wins by starting with concessions?

What battle wins by starting with retreat?

What war wins by starting with surrender?

Centrist extremists, man. They don't care where they move, they care only that they remain moveable. They say they wish to persuade, but their only tactic is to be persuaded.

Who thought it would be a good idea to out Reform Reform? They're the party you join if you want to to go to hell when you pass.

Blue Labour on MAGA Square: Maurice Glasman’s Journey to Trumpism Jon Bloomfield and David Edgar look at the nationalist populist drift of Labour's anti-progressive tendency

This is Blue Labour- a pale imitation of MAGA. Devised by Glasman & executed by Starmer & McSweeney to destroy left wing of the Party.
Voters gave Starmer a huge maj to improve their lives & they are dithering about copying Tories & Reform scapegoating immigrants.

UK Labour Party loses long-held Commons seat to Green Party candidate, finishing third. “Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party suffered an embarrassing election defeat on Friday in an area of Greater Manchester that it had dominated for almost a century..." edition.cnn.com/2026/02/27/u...

Never forget THIS below is how low these evil nasty pieces of shits in the Labour Party sunk to ensure a Reform victory. It was literally out of spite, because they already knew they'd lost. Think about that.

Labour is essentially a spoiler party, existing solely to ensure far-right policies get enacted.

And that's regardless if labour or reform wins, the result is the same, both parties are filled with vile ghouls.

only the greens can stop reform, a vote for labour is utterly wasted right now, they are collapsing everywhere

Labour: why don't you all fuck off LOL
Labour: no not like that

PDA isn’t about “defiance.”

It’s about a nervous system that experiences loss of autonomy as threat.

If every demand feels like your agency is being taken away, your body will fight.

It’s got nothing to do with manipulation - it’s all about survival.
