that video is literally killing me holy shit. the actual CIA posting that is too much. as I noted in the thread below, bell hooks was right: when the concepts that were intended to be emancipatory have been successfully coopted, it's time to discard them

A lot of right wingers take the corporate woke shit at face value. “Oh look they want to spread feminism in Afghanistan.” No they don’t. The same interests that pushed the war in the Bush administration are still pushing it. The woke stuff is just the latest excuse for the empire
If it wasn’t for the corporate press, universities and big banks, I wonder how long it would have taken Occupy and the Tea party to realize that not only were their goals not mutually exclusive but they, in fact, had the same enemies.
@theoctobear@MaxCarnageHS @CompleatCat @ToddDoesLoveYou @Ace_Archist Luckily we live in a society of laws and the state's monopoly on punishment has stopped all psychopaths from killing anyone
This brought something to mind, if police are attempting to steal evidence of a crime would you be legally allowed to use deadly force if they attempted to enter your home and seize the evidence?
When you say it’s good to “trust the experts,” you imply that it’s bad to think for yourself.
I hate the “trust the experts” narrative because thinking for yourself is one of the highest virtues.
