  • When leftists say abolish the police, liberals side with the police.

    When leftists say abolish borders, liberals side with border enforcement.

    When leftists seek to dismantle fascist systems of oppression, liberals side with the fascists.

    Leftists calling out the hypocrisy of liberals is not infighting, it is an open attack against an enemy that cosplasys as left while actively aiding and abetting fascist ideolgies with “both sides have valid points” bullshit.

    Liberals want to go back to Obama’s America, but refuae to reconcile with the fact that Obama’s America still dropped bombs on schools and used violent force to deport immigrants and attack marginalized communities.

    Liberals only want business as usual, with the violence kept out of their line of sight. Leftists are actively seeking to dismantle systems of oppression, and replace them with systems that take action to reduce harm. They are not the same.



  • Hard agree. The two state solution was always a smoke screen for Israel to be like “Okay, we’ll give you you’re own state BUT ONLY IF the following impossible to agree to or maintain stipulations are met.” Then, once the impossible stipulations are not met, Israel says “You didn’t meet the stipulations, we’re resuming war/annexation”. Rinse and repeat until the genocide situation we have now.

    You can advocate for Palestinian armed resistance, but the ONLY time that has ever been viable is when the armed resistance outguns their oppressors. As you stated, there is ragtag resistance that is going to outgun nuclear weapons. Palestine needs global support to resist at this point, and that’s unlikely, again, because Israel has nukes and the backing of America.

    The best case scenario is Israel and Palestine get the same outcome as South Africa following the fall of apartheid. I don’t see that happening unless Israel loses America’s support.

    Boomers only love it because they experience the most socialized version of it and were told their whole life, “This is capitalism”. Then, they were slowly propagized to believe that the socialized parts of capitalism they experienced were the cause of all the bad things that happened, even though that was the fault of the underlying capitalism. It’s honestly embarrassing for them, because most of their parents and grandparents would have called themselves socialists, anarchists, union members, and communists.




  • Billionaires own multiple properties across the globe, and have enough money to circumvent laws everywhere. Surely there was never just one Epstein Island, even when he was alive. P Diddy’s house was a sort of Epstein Island. No billionaire would put all their eggs (ie, trafficked children) in one basket. That’s like the first rule of investing.

    It’s not like any of them went to jail.



  • When you accept that others rights can be taken away, you must also accept that your own rights can be taken away.

    If you accept that groups can be excluded from society, you must also accept that your group may one day be excluded.

    If you accept that might makes right, you must accept that one mightier than yourself will one day come along.

    If you live by the sword, you will likely die by the sword.

    Idk how many times this has to happen throughout history before people act learn from it.
