YouTube video by Mondoweiss How Israel uses trees to ethnically cleanse Palestine

It’s not the native trees that are burning… it’s the trees that were planted by the colonizers.

Nope.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

You are wrong. (With attribution.)

“There are only two sexes.”

Move past this whole “society believes,” they believed that slavery was ok.
You need to do the work on yourself and stop blaming “but, but, but…society!”
You need to confront this 3rd grade “it’s only Man or Woman.” Grow up, it’s more complex than that.
You literally sound like a flat earther.

“Society” hasn’t figured out the simplest of things.
The textbook definition of “Hysteria” is literally a misogynistic belief that women’s sexuality caused them to go insane. The cure was a hysterectomy.
This is how deep the misogyny runs through your mind. It displays itself in your transphobia.

The new money thinks they have the power and money to go full authoritarian. The old money knows the efficient way to keep the population in line is the soft power that has been working for 75 years. They know that this totalitarian crap is too resource intensive to maintain and eventually implodes.

"Car dealership that disappears political dissidents" really does feel like the form America has been building to this whole time.

Look. I get it. It’s hard to get your head around.
Maybe you’ll have an “a ha” moment one day and it will come together for you that calling me an “extremist” on this issue sounds as stupid as someone calling you an “extremist” for believing population degrowth is a reasonable thing.
Maybe not. 🤷‍♂️

“Hysterical.”
Do you even know what that word means?
—
This isn’t about dignity for trans people. It’s about their erasure.

Should trans men play women’s sports?

What about bathrooms?

Do you believe trans people even exist?

Do you know how many trans people die every year from violence?

“Trans women are women” is giving trans people dignity. Which is what you claim to desire.
Anything else is literally a threat to their lives.
Are you a “reasonable person?”
This isn’t about what “people think.” It’s about you personally coming to terms. That’s what establishes “the envelope.”

This you?

“Let’s NOT Normalize Indian Hate.
Let’s NOT Normalize ANY Hate.”

Your “nope” is normalizing transphobic hate. What part of that don’t you get? The first marginalized group the Nazis “eliminated” was trans people. They’ll come for you next. That’s how it works.

It's not weird to feel overwhelmed right now.
I'd say you might be pretty weird if you aren't having at least moments of feeling overwhelmed.
Take care of yourself.
We need you.
We need you strong.
We need you healthy.
We need you thinking clearly.
Breathe.

re: trans kids in sports.

Trans women are women and they deserve to play sports if they want. Full stop. That's as far as this discussion needs to go.

But every time it comes up (and boy, does it keep coming up) I can't help but think about my younger self. 🧵

Trans men are men. Trans women are women.

Full stop.

Punching left, always the hallmark of liberal virtue signaling. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

The “other choice” was holding a primary, not installing the candidate chosen by the DNC… and calling it “democracy.”

But thanks for answering my question.

Do any liberals regret the DNC not holding primaries yet? Or are you still like “she was the candidate of democracy?”

Jon Stewart on Crossfire YouTube video by Alex Felker

I feel like someone got to Elon and pointed out that Jon Stewart went on Tucker Carlsons show and damaged Tucker so deeply that Tucker stopped wearing his signature bow tie.

A complete crash is what they want.

The ruling class has resented FDRs “New Deal” for 100 years. It’s been a long game, but they are finally getting the chance to show us what would have happened if the country would have gone the other path instead of FDR.

Starvation as a weapon to rewrite the agreed-to terms of the ceasefire deal.

Biden and Harris embodied the “scene,” they were out on stage, in front of the curtains, putting on a show. Trump just ignores all the posturing. He’s the opposite of the scene. He’s the obscene. “Scene” politicians will make their money with defense contractor stocks, Trump just demands a bribe.

The bummer is the SchoolHouse Rock called “Elbow Room” which is a direct analog to “Liebensraum” and contains a catchy jingle for kids about normalizing indigenous genocide.

This image seems to have a different view of the relationship these two people had than I recall.

A sculpture based on a yellow diamond street sign with the word “HOME” on it. The street sign is the head of a stick figure person who is posed as if walking.

WALKING HOME
Thinking a lot about the word “home.”
Who has the ability to call a place home and who does not?
Things like immigration status and deportation. Like colonization. Like sweeping streets of “homeless” people.
Thinking about what defines a home and who gets to enforce that definition.

Do you know someone who read Marx and then doesn’t read downstream?
It would be like someone only reading Plato’s “Theory of Forms” and decided Physics was done there.
But it still forms the foundation on which everything else is built.

How do you understand capitalism outside of anything that isn’t based on historical materialism?
