Funny that my white comrades are still asking what when why where and how, instead of just reading the words of Black folks from decades and centuries past. Or Asian folks, Indigenous folks, or goodness me a Woman or two.

Make rulers scared of peasants again.

Preventing hitler is great and all. But remember he didn't come out of a vacuum, the same way trump and musk haven't. They are products of a system, and scholars have long warned of their emergence. The system is capitalism. How to get away? Parallel power structures and people focused systems.

How have we gotten so lost in regards to context and seeking mutual benefit? I assume this applies mostly to us westerners living in bourgeois democracies. In example chatting with an acquaintance and I suggested veganism is unsustainable. They assumed I meant the complete opposite is true.

Why are people so caught up in the word oligarchy just now, as if the USA wasn't founded by a handful of oligarchs. This isn't a new shift in our country it's a reversion to past ideologies. The funny thing is, you can't go back, my main worry is how many lives it could cost to break the chains.

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there. If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it. Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

Making existence illegal makes resistance analogous with existence. People cannot (as in its impossible for them) stop existing, so they will resist. Ever heard of the anvil and the hammer? Long story short the hammer never breaks the anvil.

Really need western leftists to read up on dialectical materialism, democratic centralism and revolutionary theory. This stuff isn't a mystery, Marx Engels Lenin and Ho Chi Minh have all written quite a lot about all of this. Even the capitalist rules have read it, so they can try to suppress it.

Folks going to protests this next few weeks. Great I love the energy, but if you don't talk to people there and start or join organizing efforts, you might as well just hang out with a loved one instead. The only way out of this is withholding labor and organizing with other workers.

Just fyi, Costco sells plan b and you don't have to be a member just say you're going to the pharmacy. Last I heard each person can buy 2 per day.

Seeing all the SNL50th posts brings to light something I don't think people realize. It's been a very long time since SNL was a scathing rebuke of the imperial core, nowadays they make lukewarm copies of other's jokes and half-hearted observations so as not to upset investors. Why you still watching

You know separation of powers is gone when doge, an unelected and unconfirmed executive office (appts by president are executive branch, and they need to be confirmed by Congress the same as any cabinet pick), is violating the US Constitution right and left and NOBODY has been arrested yet.

I bring a strong "arm the gays, women and BIPOC folks vibe to the gun range that red fudds don't understand.

I can't wait for the scandal when some prominent right-winger who happens to have brown skin gets his life upended by CBP/ICE and goes "wait this isn't the kind of racism I wanted".

Just a little constitutional law for folks that may not know. Except where specifically stated "citizens", the Constitution of the United States applies to every living being (not fetuses losers) on US Territory, irregardless of legal status.
