The inherent implication is that every man that is killed deserves it, whether that’s the intended implication or not.

Almost the entire Knesset.

I have one that’s like a four leaf clover. It’s sick 👍

How long until that’s just made illegal?

Also, wild and vivid dreams.

If only there was some🔻thing we could do.

Because they’re Redditeurs

They burned a police station down. That’s not something people do when they’re too comfortable.

It was a revolutionary moment, there just wasn’t an organized political force or party to take control of the situation and push forward an agenda. It was merely more of the same leaderless horizonalism that characterized the 2010s. That shit doesn’t work, but that doesn’t mean nothing else was possible. We won’t have a revolution just because people are uncomfortable. It requires organizing, which is what we should be doing right now and immediately after Trump steals the election.

Oh I absolutely loved it, don’t get me wrong. I lived through that decade as my own political awakening, so every single event described was something I watched super closely and posted about and participated in as part of the online activist space (and sometimes in person!)

Your observation that the social media companies can leverage and benefit from these protest movements (and perhaps even create them) is important, I think. It’s probably why Musk bought Twitter, he wanted to wield that kind of power over the masses and their ability to organize. It seems to have worked, too. We don’t see anything like what we saw in the 2010s these days.

I read another book along similar lines called If We Burn, which was a broader look at the 2010s protest movements that sprung up from online activism. What I took away from it is that most of that activism was hollow and didn’t have a political vision or party program, it was just the masses shouting “No!” at their shitty governments. It was also easily put down once people in power got used to it.

The largest protest movement in US history happened under Trump. People aren’t that comfortable, and you yourself probably believe Trump is going to make a lot of people very uncomfortable.

The US empire is an ongoing environmental and humanitarian disaster.

I won’t lift a finger to vote for genocide. You can twist yourself into ideological knots to convince yourself that voting for genocide will save Palestinians, but I see the truth. The only chance Palestinians have is if the US and Israel are defeated.

Which president is more likely to lose against the Axis of Resistance?

It’s not just “other people” that make those experiences bad.

It’s specific people.

Hotter take: patents shouldn’t exist.

Trump is the most American president we’ve ever had.

Palestinians aren’t being given asylum right now. Trump just said the quiet part out loud.e

And honestly, I’m pessimistic about us being able to resist Harris. We certainly failed to resist Biden. It can certainly be done, but there’s a gulf of difference between “we can do it” and “we will do it.” That’s why I also pointed out that if Trump wins the liberals will join us instead of just sitting around at home to wait for the next election.

Voting for genocide won’t stop genocide either. Harris has made it abundantly clear that she will support Israel no matter what.

The only recourse for us is to defeat the US.

Objectively speaking, the US nuking itself would solve a lot of the world’s problems.

Mostly I’m just being flippant as a way to cope with a very real fear that I am going to die.

When I was a kid I wanted sugar rope, I didn’t want a complex experience.
