Zohran Mamdani is living proof it is possible to be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic, and some antisemitic anti-Zionists AND some right-wing Zionists will never forgive him for that.

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

So many people already dealing with parents/grandparents with the toxic combination of diminishing mental faculties, online radicalisation via social media and AI slop, and chatbot seduction. Unfortunately we are now all getting to see what happens when one of those cases is the president of the USA

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

I hate this shit so fucking much country is not the music of the "white working class" it's the music of car dealership owners who drive F-150s and wear cowboy hats. This whole "country is actually the counter-culture" shit is pushed by the white ruling class Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

obviously this is fucked but it's not surprising to me, the way the fake bisexual myth plays out is bi women are actually straight and bi men are actually gay. straight women perceive bi men as gay while straight men see bi women as down for a threesome

Okay, my media-illiterate people with tiny baby brains: Understand that when people mistreat sentient robots and computers in fiction it's a commentary on how we treat other people, usually marginalized groups. It is not and has never been about the possibility machines are or could be people.

I don’t know guys, is this it? Is society cooked? She did an ad about betting on a trial where multiple children were killed. I’m just in shock at how despicable this is and don’t know how we move forward as a society where betting on wars, killed children, and other horrors has become normalized.

Between shit like this, the entire GOP loving AI, Linda McMahon trying to force it into schools, Musk making Mechahitler, and data centers being built in predominantly black communities, there's a very obvious theme here and yet the AI stans on "our side" pretend it isn't there. Funny that.

Block data centers—take down surveillance cameras—stop ICE. As opposition to Flock and data centers spreads across the political spectrum, we should connect these to ICE. We must understand all of these as manifestations of the same thing: an increasingly violent and invasive technocratic state.

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this
Millennial grey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]

Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]

To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

This is a prime example of why right-wing populism slides so easily into antisemitism. You need a populist framing of "the people" versus "the elites," but you can't frame the elites in strictly economic terms, or else you end up with leftism. Hence you need another way to define "elites."
