Imagine a Hindu Brahmin refusing to touch a lower caste person and then being like don’t bring your colonial gaze to this, this is my indigenous culture.
Fuck you and fuck your culture.
@comradejumpshot It’s more like a Socialist splash. The coming tidal wave of communism will obliterate the strictures on human society. It’s funny how angry people are getting at this post because they think you mean that the goal of Hamas was to get DSA elected.
It is indicative of the Left's irrelevance that we begin with questions like "is Islam compatible with Marxist beliefs?" instead of "how do you expect to work with & organise people whilst treating their deepest moral language & community framework as fundamentally illegitimate?"
@lookforurself Then you’re simply not fit to be a doctor, skill issue. I can touch people off the opposite sex all over their bodies without getting horny. Maybe you’re the sex obsessed pervert?
The Atlantic is very upset that socialists keep winning elections against feckless establishment Democrats.

It’s very funny that following religious proscriptions on touching the opposite sex is actually a very clear example of bodily heteronomy
You’re following *a* law, to be sure. It’s even a law that you assent to. But it is not *your law*, it is definitionally not autonomy
If the social democrats are successful in reforming the system then we can rest assured that our children and grandchildren will be reactionary shitheads that will set us back to 1890/1930/2010.
the organized american left was at its lowest point since its rebirth in 2016 right before this. Now it is stronger than ever in every metric and area in spite of immense repression. We owe any chance at a future to the bold actions of the Palestinian masses.
@abolitionduck I mean if you’re not using the Marxist concept of classes as people that have specific relations to production then we’re just going to be talking past each other. How do you define a class?
@jizzeringjezza Do you really not understand that the issue is woke-washing gender segregation? Women shouldn’t be called whores or looked down on for platonic contact with men.
There is a grain of truth to this: I support Palestinian liberation regardless of whether or not I agree with what they choose to do with their freedom. But don’t try to gaslight us about how “Islam is woke actually”.
The last few days have exposed just how much of the left still carries a colonial mindset.
A Palestine flag or a triangle in your bio means very little if your solidarity ends the moment Palestinians or other Indigenous peoples assert the right to define our own values, norms, and future.
Decolonization isn’t just opposition to mass killing. It means Indigenous people reclaiming the right to shape our own society on our own terms, not having Western political, cultural, or social standards imposed on us all over again.
@SaintCliffhange And you should be thanking the (atheist) communist party of China for saving your pathetic asses against a second rate power like India.
Woke religoids are the worst. This is the same kind of dishonest argument that Zionazis use to derail conversations from being about specific, indefensible issues to “you’re an Islamophobe/antisemite if you ever criticize my religion”.
Funnily enough, we do criticize tradwives, but conservative Christians aren't such frauds as to pretend they're progressive and say shit like "so you want to force women to be naked? Why are you trying to colonize us?"
