I admire your purity. I admire your privilege. I'm too f****** poor to leave. I have children. I have fear of the future, and I'm doing everything I can. You're admiring your own politics like narcissus admiring his reflection.

Coming back to Blue sky was a mistake. I am sick and tired of this civil war on the left. Fuck everybody. People are going to die, and y'all are shitting on each other to hide your own fucking fears. Trump is the enemy, but he's not on Blue sky, and tankies have to hate somebody.

I asked for evidence. If that makes me a whiny little b****, then f*** you, and f*** the horse you rode in on

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Hey. This should go without saying, but I guess I got to say it: if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. If you have the opportunity to derail the train before it hits somebody, and you don't, you're part of the problem.

Voter abstention is either the mark of the socially dead or the extremely privileged. It is the right of the slave, or the master. The rest of us vote. In other words, I get why Frank Wilderson doesn't vote. I don't agree, but I get it. You and me should vote.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

We are not good people. Deportation is a crime against humanity, it is wrong, it is evil, and anyone who supports it with an apologist for human rights violations. They deserve to lose their home, their jobs, and every f****** document that makes them so privileged.

020

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Then I'm a useless moron. In America, voting for president is a zero-sum game. If you don't understand that, that's okay. It hurts. It sucks. Life is hard, and not everybody understands basic game theory. Some people admire their reflection too much.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

You voted for Trump. Calling me vapid and a twit might be true, but it doesn't change the fact that you had an opportunity to stop Trump, and instead you voted for yourself, and your own purity. Bravo. The people of Palestine are dying and you vote for the guy who uses Palestinian as a slur.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Well, the thing is, I asked for evidence and I got blocked. This civil war on the left is f****** pathetic.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Apparently, Asking for evidence gets you blocked by Adam.

000

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Because Mercury was in retrograde. Actually I have no idea, I'm just asking for evidence. I'm tired of everyone deciding that Kamala Harris won because she wasn't their own idea of perfection.

000

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

The 14th amendment is clear, and this act is clearly unconstitutional. Of course, the 14th amendment is clear and Trump's second term is clearly unconstitutional. The Constitution is pretty clear, the Supreme Court is pretty corrupt. But seriously, equal protection should mean equal protection.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

I wish. I wish being disabled in only one way was all I had to deal with (and all you had to deal with!).

000

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Deportation is always a crime against humanity. Exile is always wrong. The fact that so many Americans supported is absolutely damning of America. The nation state system, as championed by America, has undermined humanity's basic values. To understand, see the Hebrew Bible, or the works of Homer.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Please provide the objective data which you refer to. Please explain to me exactly how many voters, objectively, building a larger coalition cost Kamala Harris versus helped her. I want to see the breakdown by the numbers.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

Likely a nice break. Urban life must have been f****** hell for horses.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

"Separating the person from the disability to give it a less prominent stance." Instead it does exactly the opposite, because that's how language works. The goal itself is suspect. Why would I want to separate the person from the disability when I'm talking about our rights?

100

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

Agreed. Deportation is an echo of the crimes of Sodom.

080

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

No, instead you voted for Trump. Don't tell me you didn't, you did. Jesus f****** Christ.

110

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

Deportation is always wrong. Always. Always.

000

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

Ok. I do take it at face value. I believe you think that limiting immigration is in your economic interest. You are wrong. I believe that you believe that, but you are wrong. All borders are violence. All workers live on the same planet. The immigrant is not your enemy, the billionaires are.

100

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Do you know what this sounds like to me? This sounds like an organized PR campaign. TRUMP RAN THE MOST TRANSPHOBIC CAMPAIGN IN HISTORY, HARRIS REPEATEDLY PUSHED BACK, YOU JUST DIDN'T HEAR IT. Why? Disinformation. I'm going to take a break from Bluesky for a week. I need to think about this.

100

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I guess you didn't watch the debates.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I'm queer. My children are queer. I wasn't on Twitter, TikTok or any social media. Trump's entire campaign, to me, was anti-trans. Harris repeatedly stood up for trans people. The entire narrative that Harris was anti-trans, is some seriously online b*******. It's f***** up, and it makes me mad.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Let's assume he has it. Let's assume he has the money. He doesn't, but let's assume for a second he does. Every dollar that is paid to Rudy has to go to Rudy's creditors, and Rudy's creditors are people that Trump hates. It's racism.

010

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Donald Trump, apparently you owe him money. You really could start there. We all know the reason you don't try to help Rudy is because you don't want a dollar of your money to go to Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss. Make them whole, save your friend. It's the right thing to do.

000

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Yes. Workers are racist. Yes the majority of Americans are racist. I'm using that as an adjective, not a noun. If the reaction to that critique is to shut down, and ignore further conversation, that's also racism. Racism is not a slur, it is a problem to solve.

120

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

The reason that people are willing to believe that immigrants are bad for the economy and children are good for the economy is racism. The entire framework of the discussion is racist. It's not really appropriate to talk about an individual's racism in this context.

120

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

This is enforced by customs. Not joking.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Money is fungible. This is why we cannot give money to Israel, even if it has strings attached. We must cut off all military and civilian aid to Israel, and focus directly on the people of Palestine. We should intervene militarily if we have to to help the people of Palestine.

0141

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Of course. The problem is, by doing this, they undermined the power of the Supreme Court of the United States, and Congress. Law is make-believe, so all that it has is the trust we put in it. They broke that trust. This is why I say that Biden has near unlimited power, he just doesn't wield it.

110

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

The Supreme Court agrees with every word you said in that sentence, but they derive a different meaning from it than the meaning I imagine you meant.

100

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

That was in 1993, and the years have not been kind to me.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I figured out why I got them confused. Someone pointed out that Polanski directed Macbeth. I watched both this Macbeth film and Romeo and Juliet in the same class in high school.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

There is a reason they have turned away from the market, and are seeking the power of the state to protect them.

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

This is what we call an "anti-engagement" post.

110

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Typical. Elegant solution, implemented with skill, that will completely fail in the long term.

100

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I just want to officially state for the record that my actual politics bear no pragmatic difference with @aoc.bsky.social. I If you think that makes me a liberal, you're right. If you think that makes me a leftist, you're right. If you think I can't be both, you're not interested in solutions.

130

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Have you? Have you written your elected representatives to remind them that the so-called Laken Riley act is unconstitutional, if you're an American, or in support of other positions that support marginalized people if you're not?

030

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Side note: as you will see, I also have a lot of trust issues. I don't trust the left as much as I used to, because it feels like they abandoned America in the last election. This is a "me" problem.

140

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Extraditing criminals is not the same as deporting people. It just feels like I'm shouting into the wind with my views on immigration. It is so obvious to me that the modern system of borders is wrong. It's not even that old! It's a new idea.

001

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

This is fundamentally Josh being an optimist. I hope you are right, but I think the complicity with fascism will help him personally far more than opposition would.

010

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Hey. Today I learned that I am still not okay. I am still not over the trauma of losing this election. I am still not over the fear of what is to come. If you're on a far left, I don't want to hear about your purity. If you're in the center, I don't want to hear about your transphobia.

020

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Read this again. This is what I think of you. Everything you say in this sentence, every f****** word is what I think of you. Bye.

100

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I'm a liberal. I don't support any of those things. You're creating a straw enemy out of your friends, and it's f****** sad. I'm going to mute you for a while, because it really is just making me so goddamn angry. Trans kids will die. I can't even...

100

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

There is no place for rent taking in healthcare. Anyone making money from healthcare better be adding value. It's time for people like you to openly advocate for the elimination of all health insurance companies.

000

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Everything that you are projecting on liberals, they are projecting on you.

100

Edward Allen @edwardallenthree.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

What I want from you? I want an ally who I can trust to stand by my side over the next 4 years, not somebody who's going to leave me on the slightest disagreement because I don't subscribe to everything and they're f****** purity test Kamala Harris didn't leave you, you left her.
