☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Do not fall for anti-progressive rhetoric amongst the left. How it works: everything that you support right now, that is untouchable and if you go against it, insta-ban, as it should be. Anything you do not understand yet, that is lifestylism. Drop that phrase now - we take everything, or nothing 0110

☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Please use the proper tools. There is a reason chocolatiers use specific implements that look very specific, they have that culinary look. It's because the techniques they are using are a much better way to do things. At least try to mimic the functionality with the tools you hace 000
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Oh God I make this joke now, reality has a way of punching me in the vulv. We've seen wild discourse become normalized - look at Novembers 2024 how liberals acted. I've cursed us all with this future of Inclusive UWU White Supremecy. 010
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 25/03/2026One day I'mma logon and will see "If your White Supremecy does not include ALL White people, that means Trans Whites, Gay Whites, Disabled Whites, then [some racial epithet, something about Jewish people]." That's it, liberalism will have reached its peak. That is the zenith for liberals 221

☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 25/03/2026No Man's Sky on the decades long grindset - they actually got themselves up to Very Positive. Insane accomplishment, they were once deep in the negatives 110
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 25/03/2026It's just, the only way the USA could ever truly uphold those values is if we had a socialist revolution, and we just utterly fixed so much of US society, of the bigotry, of cruelty, of brutal working conditions - everything the USA actually is, that's in direct conflict with what we are taught 010
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I mean, I still believe in the values they taught me-life, liberty, the pursuit of the truth, they taught me in the 1990s all people regardless their sex or race deserve to be equal, and in the 2010s they taught kids people deserve to be free regardless if they're queer or not. Literally good values 010
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I think about that too, that these are just so toxic, the truthes, they literally can hurt people. Esp if they already know this. But this is kept so well under wraps, what the USA fundamentally is I say this as a betrayed US American, who really did believe in the values USA supposedly upheld 010
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Here is to celebrating Richard Dawkins, who tragically passed away in 2015 in an airplane crash. You cannot convince me otherwise - the transphobic figure we see today is just an illusion. He was a mess, esp with hid militant atheism, but he gave such great contributions to biology and design. 010

☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 25/03/2026A quick vibes check: if it is something the histotic West, namely the USA, has done from 1750 to 1960, it's probably bad. This is literally 100% of things you could think of 111
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 24/03/2026It is just bizarre when you get away from the internet controversies and... struggles, and get out, hit the pavement. House some people who were on the street, get a trans kid hormones, help get reliable utilities into people's houses, protect some Roma from violence. Struggle that helps people 000
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Really does make sense when you see things through the lens of, this is the bourgeoisie's society and things run the way they do, generally speaking, because of their influence. They don't want real experts listened to, because that helps organize the lower classes 010
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 24/03/2026One thing you need to break: the USA's Purtanical perfection culture. Always always personally strive to go beyonf the best - this is what all people ever have done who changed the world for the better. Do also forgive people and causes, remember they are human, & can still be good and imperfect 131
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 23/03/2026I have never seen the US media outta step with US policy literally in all my life. This is just kinda pathetic to see the capitalist's systems just start to abandon them 002
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Bizarre to see the US media become half-hearted in their defense of the US government's actions. Theyve basically just given up on trying to present the oil blockade on Cuba positively, half-abandoned any idea of manufacturing consent for War with Iran and Venezula They're just not into it anymore 101
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 23/03/2026One of the best strategies: "Ok ok, let'e say 100% of what you just said is true, if what I have just said is also true, how does this argument from you invalidate my fundamental point?" Just bring them through the logic, even with the complications. Literally, almost no counter 110

☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 23/03/2026You live in a hyper-conformist society, and *you*, you reading this, are probably a hyper-conformist. Always always always remember this when you criticize someone for their appearence, or their behavior, or their interests. 020
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 23/03/2026It is aways frightening just how insanely bad the USA is compared to even other modern human societies. If you tell a mother in Latin America, or China, or India, or Europe how children in the USA are treated, they will be horrified. This is literally an almost universal response. 021
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 22/03/2026One huge huge thing: do not attack people who are trying to be better. Attack the ideologies they are following, and say this is a bad ideology -> never ever say they are bad themselves. This is one of the biggest killers of progress. 030
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 22/03/2026One of the most grim things: you have almost certainly hurt someone severely yourself. So don't mourn and get upset about it, accept it like a scar, wear it, and become a person who stops these bad things from happening to anyone again. 000

☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Fun fact: one of best ways to invest. Invest in every stock at random, by the value they appear in the stock market. Especially do this globally. You will make the market return as a whole, which means you invariably always get the winners. If this investment does badly -> capitalism is dead 100
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 21/03/2026What a revolutionary needs to be & do is directly at odds with what would individually benefit us You lose luxury goods you can have, power you can feel over people, physical comfort, & you get so much brutal hate We basically pay in our blood to try to change this, & that's the right thing to do 020
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 21/03/2026You do not get to benefit from the system you are trying to dismantle. Yes you caught Hell yourself - you do not get to use whatever ability you're 'allowed' to. Yes this is even more unfair than usual - that's your duty as a revolutionary. To give your lives to try to save other people. 010
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Stalin did not only kill guilty people. But literally look at any of the kids of people who's great grandpa was killed by Stalin - look at these kids - all those great grandparents 100% had it coming 000
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 20/03/2026No: you don't get to have a cushy academic position if you take real, genuine leftist positions, act in accordance. In a society controlled by bourgeoisie, is impossible for you to get that wealth and prosperity while being heroic. We call these 'principled' positions - they cost you a lot to take. 001
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 20/03/2026It is shocking that about 50% of all human beliefs are things they don't want but can't change. The biggest one: No, you do not want to die. You also cannot change that, but don't make a mistake and think you *want* this. Remain truthful in your thoughts, even to yourself. 040
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 19/03/2026And I do mean ANYTHING. If you are a fascist -> you economically help people, you go in and organize their people, get them some relief -> they will embrace you. You are a Religious fundamentalist -> same thing. So why would it be different for the good guys, when it works for the bad guys? 020
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 19/03/2026If someone tells you "We can't include such a RADICAL issue - we can't oppose genital mutilation, can't fight for animal liberation, can't be anti-imperialism" Yes you can - people don't give a shit what else you believe, if you are saving their asses in a dire economic situation 110
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 19/03/2026It's not really a big deal if someone is a Budhist or a Christian or Hindi or a Jew or Sikh or a Moslem or one of the smaller religions, as long as they're a progressive Moslem or progressive Hindi or progressive Zoroastrianist. We can work with liberation theology. 020
☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 19/03/2026If I have a piece of advice: some struggles are not worth fighting. Religious dogma is bad - we do need to take strong stance against dogma, because something like that can be retooled to be oppressive by the ruling class Do not fight it as the primary issue. Just let people have their spirituality 110

☭ Emp-love @breadofaempalove.bsky.social · 17/03/2026People will go to extremes to justify different, extremely rare situations, usually the worst of the worst, when people are allowed to commit heinious acts for their own self-interest.
