I think political commentators like Kyle need to take several seats (well, I guess he’s already sitting) you can have disagreements over political strategies but to refer to protestors as “cia” as you sit in your backyard and talk to your phone is so incredibly condescending
This was similar to NYC in the late 90s/early 2000s. LA in the late 2000s/early 2010s and Miami during the late 2000s as well. It's almost as if there's a structural systemic issue here rather than a localized, individual dynamic.
Chicago has lost about a quarter-million of its Black population in the last quarter-century and I feel like not enough people are acting as if this is a huge fucking deal.
The best thing about AI? It's immaterial. It's not like a nuke, or a bioweapon. We can quite literally shut off the data centers. So why people like Bezos feel so bold and safe to make such statements is quite literally playing in our face.
Q: How do you define socialism personally?
JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
Did Gaza cost Kamala Harris the White House?
@davidsirota asked @Tim_Walz. His answer:
"We did the most terrible thing you can do in politics... We kind of tried to walk the middle."
Always found it. Kind of funny how Zoomers use redditor as a derogatory term but they make up the majority of the user base and lead Reddit towards its weird white supremacist adjacent, even in progressive circles, attitudes
@KeepEmCominnn@cancelmyliferq It says that she realized her boyfriend was a redditor. There are ways to communicate with your partner that doesnt involve belittling them or putting them down to nourish your own ego. Its not just *what* you communicate, but also *how*.
JUST IN: AOC says she may have a “very unique political window” to run for president in 2028, as democratic socialism rapidly gains influence nationwide.
Not saying you, but the issue lies in who is the "we"? Academics? Researchers? Bc Lenin didn't live in an era of such access to information like we do now. I'd argue he would have a slightly different POV in 2026.
one point in 'what is to be done?' by lenin that really stuck with me was his emphasis that socialists should never resort to snobbishly blaming workers for their lack of class consciousness, but rather blame ourselves - we, who're educated and capable - for our lack of action.
Lula starts process to ban betting sites. Brazil once again at the forefront of the most innovative humanistic economic policy. Bets are a tax on the poor, and usher in social decay.
