Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.
Zohran Mamdani turning a prison into a nonprofit grocery store says everything...less punishment, more basic needs. That’s the direction politics should go!!!!
@leigh_fall@HawkGuyEnjoyer For sure, that'd be the best case scenario. Don't know much about his opponent but they have to be better than this boot licking pile of isr*li garbage
Marx kinda ruined economics, politics, and philosophy as professional academic fields.
Ever since he jumped in and showed that dutifully-pursued they lead to revolution, the three were gelded. Schools now do weird contortions to avoid him.
Only sociology remains a little brave.
Someone who nobody has ever heard of, declined 8 debates, and took $20 million in donations from Israel “won” a primary from an 8 year constituent.
We’re cooked.
I like that building high speed rail in California requires nine thousand years of environmental impact studies but throwing up a data center the size of Texas takes fourteen seconds with zero material public support.
“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”
56% of all Black Americans live in the South. Outside of Virginia, they will have zero representation in Congress if things continue moving in this direction. Jim Crow Southern dictatorship has returned at the federal level.
