question for the liberal mind: Can inequality be resolved within a system that depends on private ownership of the means of production? Can democracy function when the economy is undemocratic?

Look it's very simple, the country of white Europeans who are committing a holocaust have the right to self defence but the brown Muslim countries don't because they're scary and mean and don't like our team! What don't you get about that! It's totally fair!

just anecdotally, the idea that Iranians yearn for the West to topple the regime may have had some truth to it before the Iraq war. now everyone understands that it just means death, misery, and destruction.

We spent years being manipulated by conservatives with the ear of establishment centrists and liberals into addressing a fake free speech crisis, precisely so people could be punished for speaking out against perhaps the most contemporaneously well-documented genocide in history

Just a reminder that Iran had a secular government that was overthrown by the US and UK in 1953 and the Shah, this man's dad, was installed. The Shah regime was an ally of Israel's, and the BBC just platformed his son to say that bombing Iran is something Iranians are happy about.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Police will regularly just not enforce laws against those they like and make up things to crack down on those they don't. Liberal local governments know about this, ofc, but like that the cops still attack homeless people and protesters

Tell me if this is too extreme a meme: "Nuremburg 2.0," text, four pairs of feet dangling in from out of frame. Under one pair of feet is a local PD cop hat, under the second a US Military camo helmet, under the third sunglasses balaclava and a DHI ID, under the fourth a flag pin and hairpiece.

The media isn't appealing to readers. They're not going fash to help their numbers. They're doing it because they are either completely owned and operated by fascists or because they want a fascist to open his checkbook. You being angry about what they write is a sales pitch for them

There's literally no point in demanding an end to authoritarian despots, if we we don't also dismantle the source of their power, the enforcers of that state domination.

If anyone is in Saskatchewan and looking for a way to get involved with protests/community efforts around the proposed colonialist bills. Moms of anarchy on Instagram does really good work and I can vouch for them. They assemble for community too, so if you just wanna be in touch, follow it up.

It's illustrative about how abusers stand up for each other as if they were in some perverse facsimile of a union, look up Max Landis allegations if you're not aware, suffice to say anything that gets him this riled up is doing something right. youtu.be/IEHikpO-uTM

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

The military occupations around the country and the parade in DC represent the culmination of a long-term shift from persuasion to coercion as disparities in wealth and power intensify. Autocracy requires mercenaries—despicable scum who sell their capacity to inflict violence to the highest bidder.

Unfortunate, then, that Israel has enjoyed a twenty-one month test-run in using patent horseshit and lies to justify every single one of their most egregious actions in Gaza, with western media and political leadership enthusiastically swallowing every steaming pile hook, like and sinker.

I repeat: One of the most fundamental lessons of intersectionality is that when competing alliances exist, so many will pick their empowered (Whiteness here) identity over any marginal identity they possess because choosing to stand with the disenfranchised requires sacrificing their privilege.

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines. He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing. He says they “dysregulate the immune system”. Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive” Eugenics.

"As democracies die, nobody tells you that you are no longer in a democracy. Nobody comes and declares it dead. When Putin killed Russia’s nascent democracy, it’s not like he one day said, “we are no longer a democracy”. He still calls himself the President and is reelected every once in a while."
