This mode of white male identity politics often gets conflated with class politics. It happens because signifiers of working-class identity are inherently ambiguous, and underspecified populist discursive categories like "the people" and the "establishment" strategically enable this conflation.

"This keeps happening" can quickly become "this always happens" and then "it's always been this way," until you're locked into a sense of permanence and inevitability that have been manufactured by the oppressor.

I donât think BlueSky is dying but I do think itâs stagnant because there are only so many unpleasant terminally online politically hyper-engaged left of center aging millennials with personality disorders and a history of underachievement to draw from. Weâre pretty much all here already.

Lucia for Congress

From this article: When party loyalty becomes the primary argument for a candidate, rather than what that candidate will actually do in office, we end up with more of the same. We cannot expect different results from the same people making the same compromises.

another example: it is possible to talk about climate in a way that resonates with what ordinary people care about. instead the democratic party is endorsing the guy who wants amazon to raise your utility bills

while we're complaining about things democrats talk about too much, one thing i've been thinking about recently is how unions represent one tenth of workers but are still fetishized by democrats as if they represent "working people"

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

last week a plainclothes policeman violently assaulted children who were staging a walkout to protest ICE and i keep seeing people say "well these kids just wanted to skip class" and as an organizer i wanna remind us that people come to movements from self-interest and that's not a bad thing

feels notable because the center-left Dem so often whines about it when they lose to a progressive, I appreciate that Malinowski despite the conditions of the race is throwing support behind Mejia in the same way progressives who lose are without fail expected to fall in line behind a centrist

This is physically unsustainable for all life on earth. The plans for data centers - if they succeed - guarantee that we burn the world down and blow every climate tipping point. The fierce debate here is not just about "speed" but about who gets to decide and how we plan the entire economy.
