ok i am watching the bulwark on Hasan and once again, i did not realize that "America deserved 9/11" was a controversial take? Like, we did a lot of meddling in areas that made people really mad at us! victims clearly didn't deserve to die, but there's a difference between people and the government

It is ridiculous to speak of “law” when the landowners both make the laws and in practice apply or annul them. There is, therefore, a class that itself creates the “law” and itself annuls it. Liberal speeches about “law” and “reforms”, therefore, are empty chatter.

New: I wrote about how the SPLC let union breaking and fear of MAGA drive it away from its own civil rights principles. After I spoke up about Gaza, the SPLC disciplined me and terminated my employment—leading to a discrimination settlement:

What Happened to the SPLC—and Me
Union breaking, Gaza, and fear of MAGA turned the SPLC into an organization that abandoned its own civil rights principles.

The New York Times is a genocidal rag. They are framing Israel's ethnic cleansing of Shia Lebanese as simple "evacuation orders" from Israel. If you continue subscribing to the New York Times you are supportong this genocidal propaganda. Boycott the New York Times.

TDOV coming up and I’ve lost count of the number of young people who’ve told me “it feels like it was all a trap telling us they had our backs” this year. Dozens? More? And I have nothing to say other than that I’m sorry and I’m so glad they’re here. But truly, world? You do not deserve trans kids.

only democrats could look at a policy direction that inorganically sprung up the past couple of years in pretty much all and exclusively red states, observe that everyone in them is hating it so far, and come to the conclusion that adopting the same trajectory is appropriate for the opposition party

They want to police our genitalia and run tests on our bodies to “prove” we are women, at which point they will still deny it. This is why the only feminism is trans-inclusive and why transphobia and anti-trans discrimination should be a top political priority.

In conclusion it will perhaps be worth while replying to a question which has probably occurred already to more than one reader. Did it pay to argue so long with such gentlemen? Was it worth while replying seriously to this stream of liberal and censor-protected filth…?

Neither Democrats nor Republicans offer a coherent set of politics that provide an adequate explanation of our political reality. You see someone with their head way up the ass of one of these parties, it means that they absolutely have not thought through the logic and/or don't care about coherence

The NBC article is HORRENDOUS and goes so far as to claim a "testosterone boost in utero" makes trans women *born* with advantages. That's where we're at now: a major national news source claiming trans women are born wrong. This is genocidal rhetoric plain and simple.

absurd bit is basically EVERY study in last 5yrs comparing trans women to cis show not only no real "advantage" but with transition said "advantages" quickly become actual "disadvantages". Literally IOC OWN studies show full bans/sex testing are NOT fact-based..this is purely political/bigotry-based

If people who regard themselves as liberal and progressive scholars are capable of tolerating such heroes of buffoonery…if these heroes are granted scientific degrees…then that only shows the ‘law’ of the bourgeois era: the more shamelessly you mock science to demolish Marx the greater is your merit

Socialism is not a ready-made system that will be mankind’s benefactor. Socialism is the class struggle of the present-day proletariat as it advances from one objective today to another objective tomorrow for the sake of its basic objective, to which it is coming nearer every day.
