I just think it should be embarrassing to be rich

Taxing the super rich is actually the extremely moderate position compared with what A) they deserve and B) is likely necessary to restore anything like a functioning democratic order to public hands

As a white man, I hate AI for appropriating my culture of being confidently wrong about things while using Reddit as a primary source.

Logging on gm, two wolves etc

You don’t raze entire towns and cities street by street with controlled demolitions and bulldozers for any military objective. You do it because the aim is to wipe those places out of existence forever, and it’s not like they’ve been hiding this.

Y'all remember when they said Mamdani tried to pretend to be Black to get into Columbia? And newspapers rushed to mention this without discussing the hack of applicants' data or the politically motivated reasons behind publicizing anything about his college app to a college that rejected him.

Seems that Will and Grace lady got the Fartlow brain worm bad huh?

Seeing British centrists celebrate what happened in the USA last night and pretending they wouldn't have all been cheering for Cuomo is pretty funny stuff.

Today, 144 years ago, 1600 Crown troops invaded a pacifist settlement that was the centre of resistance against British colonialism. The leaders were arrested, the settlement sacked, the people violated. For many in Aotearoa, November 5th is Parihaka Day, or Te Rā o te Pāhua: The Day of Plunder.

Watch his victory speech for how it gives zero time to the nonsense binary of "idpol" vs "class politics". The stars of that speech are the *multi-ethnic* working class. It's a speech grounded in the rich complexity of material reality, not two dimensional caricatures and facile abstractions.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

ushering in an era of bold socialist leaders who support trans rights and make really great font choices

Anyone know what time this is happening

Wishing Hot Socialists everywhere a Good Morning, I hope you win today too 🤗🌸⚒️

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Tell me again how lefty politics turn voters off?

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant." SAY. THAT. SHIT!

Chuck Schumer needs to be primaried and have his career ended as ignominiously as Andrew Cuomo’s.

How great would it be if every rich conservative loser who already hates everything that makes New York City cool moved away. That would kick so much ass

Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

He did some other stuff too

RIP Dick Cheney, you would hate socialist New York

A terrible person who did very bad things, and one who bears heavy responsibility for many of the critical problems now faced by his country and many others. No redeeming features can possibly balance up the level of active and deliberate malice there.

Me finding out that Dick Cheney hadn’t already died by receiving a notification that Dick Cheney has in fact, just died

Good morning. Liberalism got us into this mess and has shown no ability or interest in getting us out of it.

thinking about the “we have enough hot takes” lady for some reason lately

“People are homeless,” he tells Rolling Stone. “There’s no running water, there’s no electricity, there’s no shelter. They were sleeping on the streets. We came in last night, we gave out water, we gave out food. There are actually bodies trapped in homes that people haven’t been able to clear.”

Adding into the mix that ChatGPT can dose everyone with billionaire’s disease

Can’t say I think anybody disturbed enough to carry out out a knife attack can be stopped by pepper spray, but I sure do think the current atmosphere of white supremacist mob rule is a terrible time for people to be arguing to legalise pepper spray, then again its the white supremacists pushing it

2025 will go down as the year when all the subtext became text

Really enjoyed Bugonia, although it felt like he deliberately stepped back from fixating on the more serious themes touched on in the film, in favour of a more absurdist direction, which is not at all a bad thing and very on brand for YL which is why I still enjoyed it

Slow to the party but just learnt Karie Murphy is Len McCluskey’s partner and the other passenger on that definitely-not-a-bribe jet trip, and she’s also the one organising the Your Party conference? …solid

‘This shows something is going on in Britain’ yeah mental health services are crumbling and no one in power is interested in tackling the misery and poverty that increases the demand for these services

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE SECOND INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE OVER ZOOM TO MEET MORE OF THE TEAM UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION, BUT WE HOPE YOU'LL APPLY FOR FUTURE POSITIONS WITH THE VAMPIRE

“Increasing the minimum wage will just push the prices up of everything.” My brother in Christ, I don’t know where you have been for the last 5 years, but they have done that anyway whilst minimum wage has remained the same.

Just build council houses, for god sake. Property ownership is entirely irrelevant to me. Couldn't give a shit. I just want security of tenure at an affordable rate so I can get on with my life

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

Just witnessed the end scene of that Ed Gein drama and I have so many questions, when is Ryan Murphy going to be stopped? Whose nephew is he?

Sam Altman is a an incestuous rapist and I feel like not enough people talk about it

The other man says 'but wait, if the snakes are imaginary how will a mongoose help?'. The man with the box says 'That's the thing: it's an imaginary mongoose.' The moral of the story is that you can't fix a problem in people's heads with a real-world solution.

Signing off ‘Yours etc.’ because I am authentic and professional, and not at all going through the motions terrified the media will imply bias if I use any word that implies warm feelings, no matter how commonplace

Still thinking about this message from Ahmed from a few days ago ❤️😭 I hope you read it in its entirety. I wish he could speak to us on here himself. gofund.me/124a7c49

The Knesset passes preliminary bill to annex the occupied West Bank.

regardless of if you believe this dude is telling a true story, this is something so many of us *have* witnessed happening over the years

americans really don’t think about the violent anti-communist society they’ve grown up in so they all think their anti-communism is natural and well reasoned but it’s not! it’s not at all! they’re just regurgitating capitalist lies!

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped
