@TheExiledDuck Some people on here stick "white" in front of groups they don't like to try and make them seem chauvinistic and non progressive. They do it with trans people all the time
@DavidLeftyMA The American Capitalism machine would have been pretty much invincible if they capitulated on giving free healthcare like 10 years ago but they couldn't do that so here we are. I wonder how accelerationists are feeling these days
Interviewed a Palestinian prisoner the other day, and he said something that really stuck with me. He said people try to get you to think that being "pragmatic" means changing your goals. This is liberal talk. Remember, pragmatism applies only to strategy and tactics.
Personal opinion is that a lot of schisms between lefties who support prison/police abolition and those that don't are talking past each other because those words mean different things to people, even within each camp
the reason this lesbian bar story went so viral is that basically every left wing person in America has personally experienced some version of this story in their life over the course of the last decade and is really goddam sick of it
Anyway can we all just do the thing where you're expected to wear a mask when you're sick otherwise you don't need to because I think it'd save us all a lot of trouble
That bar story is absolutely being amplified by right wingers to make lefties look bad, but the fact that the story has resonated with so many lefties coming out with their own similar experiences probably still says something about the very real problem of narcissistic wreckers
One thing that actually really bums me out about young people is that their genuine good-heartedness and eagerness to correct the sins of the past can make them blind to someone taking advantage of them.
Like this person is clearly just a bully.
there's a range of rabidly antisocial behaviors that have been allowed to flourish in lefty-land that are only acceptable to talk about when there's An Incident of such clownish proportions that a temporary "letting out of steam" is permitted until Ted Cruz weighs in
@mcandidate Lmao Kirk was always arguing with unprepared students I don't think he could hold his own against anyone in that line except hitler because they'd just end up agreeing with each other
Hi my name is Leftist Poster. I am quote tweeting a clipfarmed contextless comment from the foremost communist thinker on disability in the United States to shit-talk her so that I can help the right-wing troll running a hate account make his blue check money. This is praxis
People are talking about this like she's just saying some total nonsense as if what's she's saying isn't perfectly easy to understand. She's expressing happiness that activists today are filling some of their blind spots!!!
🚨 Angela Davis at Socialism 2026 says today’s movement has to recognize the “complexity and the vastness” of the struggle for liberation.
She expands that beyond “human liberation” to “the liberation of the planet” and “the liberation of other animals,” before saying activists are “rethinking the breadth and the depth of our struggles.”
Davis then points to the normalization of Palestine solidarity within social movements, saying it is now “as important to fight for solidarity with Palestine as it is to struggle against racism inside the US.”
She calls that shift “a major victory.”
Note: This is AI-modified only in the sense that I cleaned up the audio for them. They finally gave her a standard microphone.
