Anyone who was surfing the early web between 1995-2009, what’s the one website you still think about?

I’ll go first CheatCC .com

Songs used to have James Fauntleroy

and I don't mean because he pushed watering the sound down. I mean because he was a chief architect of the plan to dismantle black record labels, black radio and basically black music independent from white control altogether.

It’s a coup. A literal soft coup. Eventually everyone will figure this out and start using this word. But it’s taking a really long time.

Tim Dillon on America: “We’re not the high school bully anymore. We’re the weird kid who may have a gun. We’re not the bully, we’re not the jock, we’re not the quarterback. This is not Top Gun, we are not Tom Cruise. We’re the college kid who keeps going to the high school parties. We’re a pedophile and we may have a gun”

AOC's role in the Dem Party is exactly what Obama's was: to commandeer the intense political energy for radical change, especially among young people, and cynically channel it into votes for a Dem Party that changes nothing, thus rendering that energy impotent and worthless:

The reality of voting for a “lesser evil” in perpetuity is that you eventually end up with an even more right-wing administration because you keep consenting to right-wing policies supported by the liberals. YOU are why things are worse. YOU, because you lack principle!

If your rights are on the ballot you have already lost your rights. Things that need to be understood.

Let me address the Black community real quick.

Some of y’all “vote warriors” get on my last nerve. Because what I’m seeing is this: a lot of y’all treat voting like it’s a sport. Like it’s just something you’re supposed to do, no matter what, no questions asked.

I recognize that a lot of y’all vote out of obligation because of what our ancestors went through. And yes, that history matters. But voting is not just a rite of passage. It’s supposed to be a tool. It’s supposed to be strategic.

Meanwhile, there are people like me, Black leftists, who take voting seriously as part of a larger fight for real democracy. But a lot of y’all Black liberals are just voting out of habit and calling it activism.

It’s the same reason you’ll say “vote blue no matter who,” but in the same breath admit that not everybody Black is for us. If you can recognize that about Black people, why can’t you recognize that not every Democrat is for us either?

Y’all love to act like you’re warriors for voting rights, but you’re treating it like a game. Our ancestors risked and lost their lives for liberation, not just participation. But a lot of y’all just want comfort. You don’t want to disrupt anything. You don’t want to struggle. And the truth is, sometimes you have to go through the ugly to get what we actually deserve.

Our ancestors fought for Black liberation, but what we got came with constraints and means testing. And now Black leftists are trying to push us beyond those limits, while a lot of y’all are comfortable staying inside them.

We’re never going to move forward if we keep voting for anybody just because they have “Democrat” in front of their name, especially when they’re not willing to challenge a system that was built on racist foundations and still operates on racist rules.

Ask yourself this: why is it that every time we need policies that would actually move us forward, we get means-tested half-measures instead? Just enough to say something was done, but never enough to actually change our conditions.

Universal healthcare would lift a huge number of Black people out of medical debt. Tuition-free college would help address the student debt crisis that disproportionately affects us. We are among the poorest groups in this country, yet many of y’all stand next to white liberals calling these policies “too radical” or “unrealistic.”

But let’s be real. The Black Panther Party was advocating for these kinds of policies. Malcolm X spoke on these kinds of issues. Martin Luther King Jr. was pushing toward economic justice and the Poor People's Campaign before he was killed.

These ideas are not new. They are part of our history.

But somewhere along the way, a lot of Black people shifted away from that and settled into moderate liberalism without realizing that liberalism has often meant maintaining limits on our liberation, not removing them.

And that’s the problem.

Correct, they’re actually part of the the system of capital, it gives a convenient way for the wealthy to essentially launder their money and create tax shelters that trickle down marginal material benefits for the impoverished through a system of overpaid executives & managers.
