Every “it’s the overreach of the left that has led to the right’s embrace of fascism” op-ed is another retread of “the decadence of Weimar Germany (ie, the public presence of queer people) is why we got the Nazis,” which is and always has been victim blaming bullshit

damn who could have predicted that the world's oldest cancer patient was going to die of cancer, even after being given a new job

seeing a lot of advice aimed at the democrats (spend your wealth helping people instead of on podcasts & loser consultants) that is very good in some contexts (helping people & winning elections) but very bad in another (it is aimed at the democrats, who do not want to do that)

I think letting people like this coast off of the holocaust for 75 years may have been a mistake. I think there has been an eternal victim complex inculcated in the heart of many Jewish people and now we're at the point of "You legally HAVE to be nice to me and like my pet nazi state's genocide."

Cory Booker doing an entirely performative filibuster and then voting to advance the President’s felon father-in-law is hilarious. Selling your personal virtue for nothing.

The inverse relationship between how much Elon Musk is liked vs how much effort he puts into trying to be liked is breathtaking to behold

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

They’re going to try and get you to care more about two ambassadors for apartheid than the 14,000 babies Israel is starving right now, or hundreds of thousand Palestinians they’ve genocided so far.

Stancil ran for office. He wants his horrible takes to be your policy. You're not doing anyone any favors by trying to be devils advocate here.

One of the most contemptible, if predictable, things I see liberals doing now is acting like the destruction of Gaza and genocide of Palestinians is a consequence of the 2024 election. Like this didn't happen with enthusiastic aid from the Biden-Harris admin. Own your crimes, cretins.

Leftists have been saying that Liberals turn into Fascists when capital is threatened for a long time, but just how quickly Starmer, Biden, Macron, Scholz, Trudeau et al. jumped at the chance to sponsor genocide and ramp up authoritarianism at home was truly remarkable

this is only adjacent to the topic but I really hate the "this person will kick cancer's ass" style of discussion about illness. cancer is a tsunami. you might get lucky and survive it but you don't fight it. you get lucky enough to catch it early, and to have a cancer that we can treat, or not

BDS has been found unconstitutional by Berlin authorities because, according to them, the BDS movement aims for the destruction of Israel. Germany continuously criminalizing non-violent protest measures makes peaceful protests increasingly impossible.

people posting about how you should call your senator is bleak to read when you live in a red state. my senators would happily flay me alive and eat my innards if they thought theyd get a nickel for it

ok so it looks like the consensus is that responding to genocide with nonviolence is unacceptable and someone chose violence, which appears to also be unacceptable. i think the answer people with power are looking for is “no response, please!”

They’re just looking for reasons to announce to everyone why they don’t give a fuck about genocide

anyone who says this destroys the pro-Palestine movement wasn't invested in the movement to begin with. Palestinian children, people, deserve to be free and live without fear.

In 2018-2019, Palestinians did the Great March of Return, a peaceful protest against the Israelis driving them off their land. It was peaceful, as I say, non-violent, but that did not stop Israel slaughtering hundreds of Palestinians and crushing the protests.

As the contradictions further heighten during imperial decline, outbursts of violence are going to keep happening. American cultural hegemony wants you to be disgusted by them while ignoring the daily, unremarkable violence our empire causes every second of every day.

This is such a nonsense viewpoint. Nothing the Israelis or the US will do "in response" will be nothing they aren't already doing and would've done anyway. The Israelis will respond by...doing what? Genociding Palestinians? Something that's already been happening for 20 months, no, for over 70 years
