right-wingers are constantly angry despite having the world of their dreams and getting more so every day. i’m so glad that isn’t me. it’s so nice to be capable of happiness. even when i’m not, i’m aware that it can be achieved

Our political and discoursive systems privilege rich white ppl. Stancil could afford to run a shitty campaign so he has Real Experience tm. The political experience of Imani Grady, who's family was surveilled bc of the civil rights movement, doesnt count b/c she didn't lose a vanity election

it’s not just fascism, it’s the most american fascism

Israel kills 50 in Gaza since dawn on Thursday - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-kills-50-gaza-dawn-thursday

a whole movie of kronk was never going to work and anyone with a brain would know that. it just tells you so much about what’s wrong with fucking everything

so the king and the jester rolled out the red carpet for trump, that’s what we do. those hallowed halls have played host to more rapists, murderers, genocidaires, slave traders, and war criminals than the hague

i could run a leftwing part better than any of these clowns. i’d be dictatorial as fuck but idgaf we got shit to do

i don’t know how the devils only has 70% on rotten tomatoes, it’s one of my favourite films ever. i guess i’m no critic

🙄

my grandma telling me about the book she’s been reading on alexei navalny: “i’ll give it to you when i’ve finished it…but i forgot you’re not really into politics, are you?”

really, really boring question: i’m buying a stretch bracelet online. shud i buy a cm bigger than my wrist, for comfort (as some sources suggest - yes, i’ve done research), or should i just get my actual size bc it’s supposed to…stretch? i’ve never worn a beaded bracelet before. any suggestions?

imagine kimmel does a krusty and goes all bill hicks until he’s offered a chance to get back on top and then he sells out his new fans to do a canyonero commercial

stop defending capitalism. please god just stop defending it. what will it take to make you see that it’s the cancer eating away at everything there is? what will it take? what do you have to see?

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

are people learning things about the system they live under? i hope people are learning things. and i hope they don’t forget any of those things

Socialist Revolution is that "critical" point where the liberals immediately side with the fascists because they gotta protect their capitalist interests and ambitions. It's basically, liberalism 101: "Always side with the fascists when the Socialists threaten your capitalist privileges."

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

If any political group is willing to sacrifice LGBTQIA folks to get ahead they will sacrifice anyone, and I will not support them.

We will continue to have issues while people like this continue to have their head up their asses. "Trump isn't that bad" or "Trump isn't a fascist" was wrong in 2015 & it's wrong now. If you're a privileged pos who doesn't know struggle, you may have more time, but it will come for you too.

Naomi Chomsky said people with power understand one thing: violence. Violence to perpetuate and violence to maintain that power.

i lost a follower. this is about brother bear, isn’t it?

Love to see people sailing the seas 🥹🏴‍☠️

this is very fucking important. my pirated back-catalogue of disney animated movies has served me for years. except brother bear, that was a waste of internet, for which i apologise

and just as easily as brandon constrained free speech and antifascist organising

just remember that Brandon could have constrained hate speech and fascist organizing just as easily as Trump is constraining free speech and antifascist organizing

I care about my Palestinian fam. I care about my Congolese fam. I care about my Sudanese fam. I want the genocides that they're suffering to end. RIGHT NOW! THIS MINUTE! Don't give a shit about ruling class infighting, or blue maga vs red maga fascist infighting. The jimmy kimmel dude can fuck off!

Now they're silencing and firing people for refusing to mourn the death of a nazi fascist little bitch (they fired a talk show host), and suddenly, folks are coming on here to talk about "that should bother you." Yeah, guess what, if genocide wasn't a red line for them, then everything goes!

It wasn't that long ago, the conservative and liberal powers that be, were silencing anti zionist & anti genocide activists, who were calling for an end to israel's genocide of Palestinians. Students were being brutalised and expelled, workers were being fired, all for condemning israel's genocide.

will stancil, basically: “fascism is bad so we should fight it, but not craaaazy bad that you should fear your fascist government might do fascist things” people think this guy is smart

will stancil is the third-largest of the medium-sized fish on a website ranked just inside the top 200,000 sites globally, and the way he comports himself you would think he was xerxes in his prime

Nick Fuentes is that you

this is a scarily convincing potential fascist talking point

the liberal politicians and media are doing what they have always done when push comes to shove, sided with fascism. we can all see each new illustration of it as part of a wider pattern that’s much more evident in this second trump term. 1/9

time for our own group chat

I will be in the cold ground before I let a single one of those genocide-enabling media dogs moralize at me. You are lower than maggots, your opinion is garbage. That you think you have any ground from which to preach is laughable, sit down and shut your mouth

i might as well just state now that i am developing a lot of feelings for hugo ekitike

the need to die on such an unnecessary hill is suspicious in itself. put your name where you want, i’ll put mine where i want. mention it a second time and i need to know why

im just baffled. even if gandy is 'overreacting' which, i dont think she is, why exactly are you people defending signing up for email lists this much. do you people like getting bullshit spam emails. whats wrong with just looking up when and where the protest is and showing up like a normal person.

this is where give and take with fash scum gets you. this is the result

So lovely that the bigots have the confidence now to just say "trannies" out loud at a corporate media press event. 😒

what if we had an economy that actually built things people wanted instead of just a bunch of scams and bots watching content made by other bots to make number go up?

u ever go & stand on a road at night & pretend it’s a runway & listen to that moby song from heat & pretend ur al pacino & hold ur hand out like ur gripping de niro’s hand but there’s nobody there but you just hold it & a car comes but it just stops & waits bc they know what ur doing & they get it

i’m into movie trailers. i just watch em sometimes, & there’s an art to it, the good ones, & i think it’s pretty under-appreciated, especially once the film is no longer in theatres, but some are great. for instance, you ever see the trailer for judas & the black messiah? that shits incredible

NEW: A coalition of human rights and labor organizations, fan associations, athletes, and celebrities is launching a campaign to demand the soccer federations of Belgium, England, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Scotland, and Spain boycott Israel for killing hundreds of Palestinian athletes.

i’m going to finish this cigarette and then i’m going to go to bed. but i’ll always be in your heart

@ezraklein.bsky.social this you?

With the way fascism is rising unchecked in the west, a day will come when fascist conservative white people will start lynching BIPOC and other marginalised groups on live television, and liberals will refer to it as "nothing but a different political view."

More people saying “Israel” is committing a genocide is great, however when can we expect people to also say Palestinians have a right to armed resistance? When can we talk about this without having to first decry antisemitism and reassure Jewish people? Without condemning Hamas?
