there is a permeating, all-consuming miasma of “we are all fucked and everything sucks; give up” that is far too common in predominantly leftist circles and it’s sad the second you Submit to your circumstances, they win

If you only see revolution as big, loud, violent acts and not the everyday work of community care, coalition building, & protecting our most vulnerable communities, then you don’t really want revolution. You want a part in an action movie.

I'm instituting a complete and total ban on doomer sentiment in my replies. "Actually nothing good can ever happen and you're a naive fool if you think otherwise." Understandable given recent events but enough!

I've got one thing to note about yesterday's #NoKings protests: if anything about them was not up to your standards, my one word of advice is: put up or shut up. You can either help develop these newly-politicized folks into a direction you would like to see, or you can keep it to yourself.

"I never thought it would happen in MY lifeti-" But it did. It is. It's happening now. If you don't get off your ass and do something, anything, then it will happen in your lifetime and your kids' lifetimes and your grandkids' lifetimes.

Hey. Just so you know, you're not obliged to forgive someone, ever. Even if they seem to feel sorry. Even a relative. The offending party doesn't get to decide the timeline after an apology. Forgiveness is -your- choice. Carry grudges to the grave if you want. Nobody is owed a pardon.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that

A couple weeks ago my brother summed up the Chiefs dominance in football by saying: "They're going to win until they don't." And then yesterday I watched them lose. And honestly that's sort of a heartening outlook for the world in general. "They're going to win until they don't." So be ready.

As it stands, the #DemocraticParty only seems interested in telling us what they can't do and will refuse to fight for.

It's a hell of a time we're living in. #DonTheCon and his Elongated Muskrat are actively dismantling the federal government and those in #Congress -- both Democrat and Republican -- are just sitting back and letting it happen.

Liberals are quick to mount the "kindness" argument on immigration, and then they say our economy depends on them. It's none of that. Our government spent the last 100 years sabotaging their democracies, stealing their resources, and destroying their environment. They have every right to be here.

It’s not difficult to delegitimize courts in the minds of millions of people who voted for a convicted felon—“liberal” judges and court decisions were already illegitimate to them. Recall: the whole country has been illegitimate to confederate extremists and their ideological descendants since 1865.

As a long-suffering Raiders fan, I have no objection to the Philadelphia Eagles winning the #SuperBowl. It's nice to know that sometimes, the good guys can still win.

Should the Republican Party ever again be dislodged from power, the first thing whomever replaces them needs to do is to declare it a domestic terrorist organization, have it banned, and jail its leaders.
