lmao actually one of the best relatable examples of walter rodney's theory of how the west siphons resources from periphery states to maintain their systemic positioning as 'better' than
That's bc it LITERALLY is.
American work culture is designed to make employees codependent with management.
The ideal worker is someone who treats the company's goals as more important than their own needs, who feels guilty saying no, who views overwork as a virtue...
LA's wild gunman cops free-fire into dressing rooms, markets, residences (killing all matter of men/women/children) whenever they're not slamming service vehicles into buildings, and it takes a doggy getting mag-dumped during an election cycle for Karen Bass to utter a peep
Americans are so committed to a politics of “feeling” good that they overlook the material realities that undergird that delusion. Obama deported more people than any president before & after him; he was actively bombing 6 countries at the same time; & he failed to shutdown Gitmo
Police DON’T prevent crime. They respond to it. Higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment prevent crime.
Hasan is shocked by @CNN's shockingly decent coverage of the rise of Democratic Socialists in the country. He never thought it would get to this point. He also calls out socialists who gatekeep socialism. In order to build a movement, you need the masses. Extend olive branches.
Listen up: It’s time to change course. We need Dem candidates + media proxies who can “bro out” and appeal to “young men” but who at the same time are not Zohran Mamdani or Graham Platner or Hasan Piker or Chappy The Trap Mouse or certainly not that fellow in Michigan or [1/437]
Morena made anti-corruption a leading plank of their platform. As a result, AMLO dominated, and Claudia Sheinbaum is the undisputed leader of North America.
DSA would be wise to copy Morena. Anti-corruption and socialism go hand in hand!
Sorry to lib out, but the reflecting pool thing has become legit funny because it’s now inevitable that they’re going to have to drain it again and redo the whole thing but it still won’t work for some easily avoidable reason. A summer story for our time
The corruption and rot in Democratic leadership needs to be torn out root and branch if we're going to have a shot of winning back the trust of the American people.
imagine if prominent democrats were saying these objectively true statements for the last couple of years especially after israel goaded this dipshit admin into waging war w iran that we lost. imagine how much more credibility the dems would have at this moment?
instead, they offered silly process criticisms while legitimizing the false rationale for waging war, actively tried to deplatform their antizionist left flank, and now maga will get to abdicate responsibility for its fuckups and dump it on israel while the dems shit on the mou.
