Harsh Self-Criticism: What Is It, Really? - Dr Maddie Smith
Harsh self-criticism feels like “the truth,” but it’s actually a learned inner threat response that fuels shame, stress, and self-doubt.

Pain isn’t just yours - sometimes it’s passed down. Critical parents, bullying, being unheard… it can show up inside us or directed at others. The good news? You can stop the chain. Awareness + conscious choice = freedom. #PainPassing #Healing #SelfAwareness vigilantenation.com/2025/07/21/p...

imo attempts to stratify class distinctions based on the physicality of one’s labor misses the forest for the trees. prole and bourgeois no longer work. at this point in the game, there is the 1% and there is everyone else. the 99% need to be a united front against the 1%.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

..regimes can be resisted - and overthrown. They rely on people's compliance, but they fear mass defiance. This is a moment to channel fear into purpose. To organise, to resist, to protect those who need it, and to refuse to let them take the world without a fight. (2/3)
