This is a lie, and it's a lie they've been telling since the 1950s. They push the story that technology will give the white-collar populace 4 or even 3-day work weeks, but that never materializes. 5-day work weeks with exponentially greater output expectations does.

You can buy a huge media conglomerate with money you don't have using leveraged debt you'll never pay off and then immediately start firing its workers, but people will still say that capitalism is compatible with democracy and is capable of "reform" or "regulation"

We would all have better conversations about Zionism if we viewed it as a nationalism like all others, akin to diaspora Serbian nationalism from Canadian Serbs. Not a civil rights or social justice cause, but also not a way Jewish people are abnormal or ontologically evil.

It's further evidence I think that electoralism isn't a viable path to escape fascism, and that even if the "progressives" win it won't create any security against the fascists just winning again in the next election. It's proof that the easy way is not a lasting option.

Mayhaps, but that usage is outdated, and the modern use of the term is squarely codified by Marx. It is, after all, the very first chapter of the Communist Manifesto that lays out this definition of the term, which has become the dominant usage of it ever since

And trying to scold someone by accusing them of antisemitism when they're outraged by either can only serve to defang allegations of antisemitism. When you start trying to play "who are you gonna believe, me or your own eyes", you lose every time.

whensmthcries.bsky.social @whensmthcries.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It also goes back to that chestnut of how you can't explain away the evidence of people's eyes, something which applies to both examples. Accusations of antisemitism are foolish in both cases because you aren't just gonna talk people into being okay with Israel's genocide or Epstein's pedo ring

Well that's wrong, because the people who use that term generally don't believe in the existence of a "middle class". There are only two classes, bourgeoisie and proletariat, determined by their relationship to capital rather than their level of wealth.

A common mantra of mine is "we don't need their agreement, only their silence", and it applies very firmly here. Whether they're just conspiratorial idiots or out and out fascists, nothing is to be gained by even acknowledging them, instead just control the conversation and direct it around them.

whensmthcries.bsky.social @whensmthcries.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yeah but the people who do that are either idiots or arguing in bad faith, and in either case it's not worth letting them control the conversation.

i know a lot of people really, really want gaza to be a two-sides issue that maps cleanly onto US electoral politics, but it isn't. the mainstream of both parties supports the genocide, because the US as an institution supports the genocide. i know that's uncomfortable but you can't run away from it

Tho you do get it played unironically via Diego Brando in Steel Ball Run, which when combined with him being much less of a magnificent asshole than his namesake really shows what a version of Dio treated with more sympathy would look like.

whensmthcries.bsky.social @whensmthcries.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Dio is weird because he's simultaneously every kind of irredeemable villain all at once, and his backstory in part 1 gets lampshaded by Speedwagon being there to go "Nah, you were evil the whole time lmao".

I've never been one for the books, and while I definitely do like some aspects of the trilogy like how they actually delve into the humanity of the Chief as a character, they also really lose the plot getting wrapped up in deep-lore shenanigans that lack a coherent identity to them

000

whensmthcries.bsky.social @whensmthcries.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Depends, after all we also live in a world that contains Dio Brando, so clearly having the author be aware that a character is the most unbelievable asshole imaginable isn't an intrinsically bad approach either.

It's important to emphasize how tightly the Church has integrated its ancient, largely Aristotelian understanding of sex and gender as an institution, changing course on such a fundamental matter would be more damaging to their authority than radical shifts in Christian-specific dogmatic content

this is probably the worst language i've seen a democrat use. saying "transgender ideology" is straight out of the right wing playbook. this is looking more and more like Labour, so I don't want to hear any more shit about how even the transphobic democrats broadly support our rights.

whensmthcries.bsky.social @whensmthcries.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

It isn't to grant rights, that's absurd. It's to stand in defense of them, to protect the rights that trans people are owed but which are not respected.

Welcome to anti-Zionism month at NY City public institutions. NY Public Library celebrates anti-Zionist book and NY Film Fest at Lincoln Center premieres NAZA next week. Then, Brooklyn Academy of Music hosts Hasan Piker at a Jewish Currents festival on Oct 11. Not to mention City Hall-sponsored street protests against Bibi’s UN visit next week. What a time to be a New York Jew. https://kevindeutsch.substack.com/p/nypl-to-host-antizionist-book-launch?r=bh4t&utm_medium=ios

Well don't. Instead of despairing, rage. Rage against the dying of the light. And when you eventually go out, go out kicking and biting and dragging every vicious bastard you can reach down with you. Fight for your life, before you surrender it so easily.

transphobia is indeed baked into Catholic teaching, because in order to be a full-blooded Catholic you *must* adhere to a specific vision of natural law that assigns properly ordered gender roles I think many people fail to understand *why* the Church is fundamentally incapable of reform on this

That's the whole point. You take a stand against trans rights, you will suffer as they do. If you throw your lot in on the side of oppression, the oppressed have every right to drag you down with them and make sure you don't get to enjoy privilege at their expense. Trans rights, or else.

Always has been, always will be. Liberal elections are pageantry, the real fight is won and lost in the streets and in the fields. That's how it was for every other civil rights movement, and every other bit of progress for that matter.

whensmthcries.bsky.social @whensmthcries.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The way trans rights are protected isn't from liberals winning elections, liberals can and will jettison the rights of any minority group if it's politically convenient. No, the actual way to protect trans rights is a willingness from common folk to stand and fight and bleed in their defense.
