If we disagree on somethings we might agree on others and those others might be movement building. I'm anti echo chamber and pro diversity of thought. If ur abusive I can't be arsed but if we can respectfully disagree and come to constructive conclusions then that's progress 2me
@MaxDashu@helenhairnets@MeghanEMurphy I Agree too we can see that fact and still see how extreme racists capitalised on the story and began a feeding frenzy
My family consists of 9 people, and they all depend on me. I am the one responsible for providing for my family, but unfortunately, my campaign has not received any donations.
Please, my friends, help me. We are going through extremely difficult circumstances, and there is no food in our home. Any donation, no matter how small, could make a real difference for my family🙏💔

Shocked features and lost, bewildered eyes say everything without a word… A little girl from Gaza emerges from beneath the rubble, and when she is told, “Thank God you’re safe,” she is unable to respond, overwhelmed by the horror and trauma of what she has just endured.
Here, silence speaks louder than a thousand words. 💔🇵🇸

One of the biggest things that crushes most revolutionary movements that I've seen take place over and over throughout the years is when a movement starts becoming popular and gaining momentum it will start splitting off into different factions and these factions will fight each other incessantly for years while failing to do the actual work that formed the movement in the first place.
And here we reach the apogee of the apogee, in which @PennyRed RTs a race realist because she agrees with him that thinking humans come in two sexes is the same kind of thing as thinking black people are cognitively inferior.
@patroklus@janeclarejones@MeghanEMurphy@GappyTales And you are refusing to identify real a white supremacist fascist just because the term has been previously bandied about. Doesn't mean fascists don't exist! Yes the TRAs have muddied the water by using the term inappropriately but all the more reason to call out the real deal
The Guardian interviewed Gil Duran this week about The Nerd Reich, his book on Silicon Valley fascism and the war on democracy.
It is an important book and a good interview.
Duran names the ideology correctly: Thiel, Yarvin, Andreessen, the neoreactionary conviction that democratic friction is an engineering defect to be routed around, that cities and nations should be run as corporations, that the CEO model of governance is superior to electoral accountability.
What the interview does not mention, even once, is the deregulated free zone model currently reshaping Britain.

Elon has the biggest megaphone on earth and he just told 241 million people that follow him that Hitler was a “left-wing socialist.”
That’s not edgy. That’s historically illiterate.
The Nazis hunted down, imprisoned, and murdered actual socialists and communists by the hundreds of thousands.
They banned trade unions, outlawed the Social Democrats and the Communists, and put their leaders in the first concentration camps.
Hitler’s own words called Marxism a Jewish disease he would eradicate.
The socialist in National Socialist was a marketing scam to steal working class votes while the party crushed the left and got into bed with industrialists, the military, and traditional conservatives.
You have more money and reach than almost anyone alive. You could use it to tell the truth. Instead you push a talking point that has been laughed out of serious history for decades. That’s not free speech. That’s using your platform to launder a lie.
When you remind transphobes that it's a scientific fact some people are born intersex they respond like "just because sex isn't a perfect binary doesn't mean it isn't a perfect binary"
