MMK @mixmask.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Are you disputing electeds’ support for genocide, or voters’ tolerance of it, or both? 120
MMK @mixmask.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There’s voters and there’s electeds; the latter do support the genocide of the Palestinians, and too many of the former accept that 200
MMK @mixmask.bsky.social · 06/10/2026What is the evidence that Democrats are “trying to win back male voters”? In any case I don’t actually think doing so is necessary; male voters broke in favor of Obama in ‘08, but they haven’t since (and before ‘08, they hadn’t since Carter). Whether Dems win or lose, it’s typically without men 020

Reposted by MMKMichael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The excesses of the Woke 1 era mostly amount to cringe public statements, harmless vocabulary updates and loss of prestige for public figures. The backlash to Woke 1, on the other hand, is imprisoning dissidents, dismantling public education and eroding democracy. That's what needs reckoning 242891604
MMK @mixmask.bsky.social · 01/08/2026There’s reason to believe the left is *more* willing to hold their noses and vote for centrists than the other way around.

MMK @mixmask.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It is hard to imagine someone’s honestly thinking “Sure slavery [Their own example!] is bad, but what would replace it?” Like, it’s theoretically possible to imagine a worse alternative, but it isn’t easy. Feels like it boils down to an internalized acceptance that “the ruling class fends off chaos” 030

MMK @mixmask.bsky.social · 25/07/2026You seem to want to argue that because Boston had some famous blizzards, it gets more snow than Buffalo. And that’s just not true, but because we can’t describe a Buffalo snowstorm with a name you recognize and that satisfies your private definition of a blizzard, you say capitalism rocks actually 100
MMK @mixmask.bsky.social · 25/07/20262, even though I think you’re arguing in bad faith, I want to ask: Can you describe a *hypothetical* capitalist policy that would satisfy your original question? Because if an example like the Transatlantic Slave Trade *doesn’t*, I don’t know what could 110
MMK @mixmask.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I’m flattered that you’re replying to my example after ignoring so many others. 2 things: 1, you have not countered my point about the WTO’s TRIPS policy, a capitalist policy that I’m arguing killed millions 210
MMK @mixmask.bsky.social · 24/07/2026The policy I’m proffering is the WTO’s TRIPS, IP law that prevented countries from producing their own generic vaccines. Even if the vaccines couldn’t have been designed without capitalism (which I don’t accept, but fine), that policy blocked the recipes’ being shared freely, which killed millions 120
