She is actually such an important figure in our queer community, being the daughter of one of most villainous people in the world and she still ended up a beacon of light and hope ✨🏳️‍⚧️

what did you think revolution meant? vibes? papers? essays?

[Soviet Ghosts @SovietGhosts]

@SeanDaBlack And what have you done? Or is it just all hibernation?

The root of my frustration with radical politics is that it's not radical at all. There is no contemplation of what real change would require or look like, or they would all concede that voting and harm reduction are perhaps the most effective tools at their disposal, and should at least be utilized as part of a larger plan, simply because voting in a democracy like America is typically simple. Then we would be in much better circumstances, and many more people would have the license to actually cooperate with visionaries without paying a political price. But instead, the supposed "radicals" have aligned with the premise of doing nothing, and being extremely annoying while also doing that. This makes them nihilists at worst and extremely stupid and lazy at best. But the point remains that they are hardly the demographic you'd associate with getting anything done, or even proposing anything interesting to be done. So you have a situation where the "radicals" are actually just moral scolds that do nothing except annoy people, and that means those that are capable of innovative thoughts or getting anything done will tend to avoid them as a matter of principle. Ironically, this creates a world where we're all very stuck on a path of slow decline, which is not exactly consistent with change or revolution. But then again, explaining to a "radical" the concept of revealed preferences is likely to have you be called incomprehensible psuedo-academic names, so I understand why nobody really bothers.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

[Soviet Ghosts @SovietGhosts]

Officially labeling Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization illegally is further proof on why we need Antifa.

[Soviet Ghosts @SovietGhosts]

What the @Heritage is trying to do with their bullshit TIVE designation is trans genocide. They want to end our Right to Exist by labeling a protected class of people from speaking out against their fascism and hate. Death before detransition.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Violent Antifa terrorists attacking innocent white Germans for practicing their free speech and sharing their opinions at a beach.

Liberals and far leftists celebrate these violent thugs yearly.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

We're Antifa. We are 10000% antifascist. We deplore fascism.
Seems it's a bad thing to be antifascist under a fascist.
They're admitting they're fascists.
Antifa isn't a group. It's a defense mechanism. It only exists because fascism exists.
