I don’t EVER want to hear that “rape culture doesn’t exist” or that trying to stop rape is “woke” again. 7 men openly, publicly raped a woman at a prestigious university. Then they had to write essays about how they misbehaved as punishment. I’m so disgusted I can’t even think.

Baby formula is $2 AN OUNCE. A 3 month old regularly drinks 4 ounces at a time. That’s $8 a meal, which is around the average of a Big Mac combo. They eat 4-5x a day. That means it’s more expensive to feed a child than an adult in this country. “WhY dOn’T pEoPlE wAnT kIdS?” Capitalism, that’s why!

Any analysis of the Iran War that doesn't start and end with the fact that an entire cottage industry of think tankers and lobbyists and their friends in Congress were frothing at the mouth for literal decades for this got exactly what they wanted and it failed immediately and totally is wrong.

I’m so sick of the Left falling into reformism and electoralism. “If we want to win, we have to make compromises!” WHAT GOOD IS WINNING IF WE GIVE UP OUR ENTIRE PROGRAM?! WHY EVEN BOTHER?! People need to read Marx and Lenin istfg

Hasan Piker is problematic, but not for the reasons they say. He’s easily coopted, and his “socialism” is actually democratic socialism, which is just “humane” capitalism.

Dems: “we’ll do anything to win, including abandon trans rights! We have to stop fascism!” Voters: “um, you don’t need to do that, we’ll vote for you if you support trans rights, probably even more.” Dems: “……… but we want to.” Craven politics. Cowardly politicians.

There is a dearth of positive male role models in media. Everyone is either a huge creep (Ted), a man-baby (Ross), or imposes their violence on others (John Wick). We need to see emotionally healthy men who are flawed, self-aware, and care for others. It would give boys something to strive for.

Anyone else get the feeling that the recent AI panic is not about public safety, but a ploy to keep the bubble from bursting? Tech bros clearly dgaf about anyone else, just their money. They are trying to minimize the damage to themselves and their legacies, not save humanity. Bunch of asshats.

Tbf this goes back to 2016 and Hillary’s ass campaign vs Bernie’s insurgency and Trump. Obama won in a landslide in 2008 because of his message of “hope & change.” It was all bs, but it worked. The Dems decided “never again will we give the people hope,” crushed Bernie twice, and, well, here we are.

The original 9/11 terrorist attacks: On this day in 1973, General Augusto Pinochet, backed by the CIA, launched a military coup of the state of Chile, overthrowing the democratically elected President Salvator Allende for the crime of implementing his popularly mandated social democratic program.

On this day I choose to memorialize not only the thousands killed in the attacks, but the millions the empire killed across the globe in “retribution.” The world will be safer once the USA, aka the Evil Empire, is gone. Check out Blowback S1 and S4 for the full history, if you don’t know it.

One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Political assassinations are counterproductive to the revolutionary goals of the masses. However, the world is a better place without him. Harsh? Hey, I didn’t tell him to be a fascist mouthpiece. He made that choice all on his own.

Since neo-N*zis just won an election in Germany, this is a good time to remember: fascism is capitalism in decay, imperialism turned inward. It’s not an “accident of history” Capitalists use fascism to protect themselves and crush the Left. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

When all is said and done, Trump will be the worst president in US history (so far) cause the fascist is automatically The Worst. But the throughline to Trump goes back 50+ years. Rs AND Ds worked diligently to get us here. ALL PRESIDENTS ARE WAR CRIMINALS, the US was always an oligarchy.

PSA: “Revisionism” is not real. Dialectics=the process of interactive change through which everything is going, constantly. Dialectical materialism=the study of that change in order to determine a course of action. Marxism-Leninism=dialectical materialist approach to history and revolution.

Horseshoe theory has convinced everyone that the truth lies “somewhere in the middle.” This allows liars to get away with lying, and when the facts support a “left” understanding of history or society, it gets waved away as “propaganda.” We need to question EVERYTHING they’ve ever told us is true.

Take some time out today to reflect on the fact that WE make the world go round. Not the billionaires or their politicians. We workers do. Human labor is the source of value in society. They only have what they take from us. Maybe we shouldn’t give them so much. Happy Labor Day. ✊🚩

Disclaimer: I’m not a CFB fan, and I know the sport itself is controversial for all sorts of reasons. But the ending to the Michigan-West Michigan game may just be the most blatant example yet of how betting and capitalism has corrupted sports. Not the only one, but DAYUM was that atrocious.

I really hate to say “i told you so” (i’m lying) but every single DSA/Dem Soc politician has proven themselves totally compromised. SocDems/DemSocs exist to defuse and dilute revolutionary energy. They exist as backstops against revolution, not the springboard. We learned this is 19 fucking 14!

you cannot trust any liberal, even ones who claim to be 'democratic socialists.' because at the end of the day the liberal, like AOC, will find more in common with fascists than with the 'hard' left. she is more willing to sit down with MAHA advocates than actual communists.

The first gender affirming surgery was done 1930 in Germany, by Magnus Hirschfield, a physician and LGTBQ ally. In 1933, his clinic was burned down and he had his German citizenship revoked by the N*zis. Think of where our understanding of human sexuality would be today if not for the N*zis…

Hot take: LLMs/‘AI’ are not inherently evil. Advancement of tech (forces of production) is unavoidable. What matters is how the tech is used. Capitalists use new tech to oppress and exploit the working class for profit. The masses use new tech to improve their lives. youtu.be/l1y_m8pKiKY

If you don’t understand historical materialism and modes of production, try this analogy: Think of it like gears on a car. Each new gear has a higher maximum speed, so can go farther faster. But each gear has an upper limit. When you reach that limit, you either shift (revolution) or burn out.

I am a) saddened by Dolly Parton’s passing, while b) more than a little angry that notorious transphobe JK Rowling, best known for being a TERF, is eulogizing Parton, a well-known trans ally. Anyone else? Or just me? Maybe Rowling should keep Parton’s name out of her transphobic mouth.
