I'm going to be completely honest... sometimes I feel like the more people tend to read theory, the less they actually are able to adopt a proper leftist view. I know so many ppl who can quote from Marx to Fanon in a heartbeat, but like, they are unable to apply theory IRL.

Since @KyleKulinski follows me, I can explain why this isn’t astroturfed or some fringe faction of sectarian leftists.
I know the people who led those chants. They’re Arab and Muslim youth who understand the difference between personal culpability and political responsibility.
We’ve used these same chants against previous mayors. Eric Adams wasn’t personally sending bombs to Israel either, but he oversaw the NYPD, which maintains ties to the Israeli military and an office in Tel Aviv. Unless Mamdani has severed those ties, the underlying criticism remains valid.
I might not have used that particular chant myself, only because I know how quickly bad-faith actors, liberals included, will seize on the wording to distract from the substance. But I’m not going to condemn people for using it, or pretend their criticism is any less legitimate.
There’s always a problem with Palestinian chants. “Globalize the Intifada,” “From the river to the sea,” “Long live the resistance.” No matter what we say, the conversation gets redirected from what we’re protesting to how we’re protesting it.
Stop joining the chorus policing Palestinian speech and start engaging with the actual policies and demands.
@frankstersays Wow.
Focusing just on the end...
Typical.
Haha. Emotion is cohesive. It'll hit harder in the context of the album. But also, everybody's experience will be different
"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
I hate how true this sentence feel right now.
People underestimate the work and effort that it takes for a revolution to happen. One really truly has to let go of their ego... or at least, ideally,
It’s telling how many strawman critiques Taylor Swift is able to cycle through without reaching the critique most often seen from her own fans: that she has let the quality of her songwriting slide in favor of commercial domination
