We live in a world where all that is good and beautiful is getting destroyed, suppressed, distorted, and tortured, but we don't even have time to mourn any of it because the relentless rythm of capital chokes us every day. We can't even heal, we can't fucking breathe in front of all this horror...

I admit, I get a little tired of being told that the rise of fascism is the fault of everybody except the people who voted enthusiastically for fascism, argue for fascism right now, and only regret fascism when they take splash damage from all the fascism they wanted.

Okay the internet still got the juice 🤣
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

L’Europe qui s’aplatit devant Trump, qui normalise le génocide en Palestine, qui trie, enferme, expulse ou noie les réfugiés à ses frontières, sûr qu'on peut se fier à elle pour faire rempart contre Poutine. Aucun risque qu'elle dirige son industrie de guerre et de surveillance contre sa population.

Are you contributing meaningfully to a conversation worth having or are you treating a stranger online as an emotional punching bag? If it's the latter, is there a more productive thing you could be doing with your time instead?

I guess I just think before joining in outrage against the target du jour it would be sensible to step back and ask if dozens of people telling said target to eat shit and hair is a net positive in the world.

The thing about dogpiles is that they often don't look like a dogpile to the people participating in them. Like you may think you are merely responding authentically to a Bad Take, but when you're the hundredth person sending the same person the same negative response you're doing harassment.

This is what you get for basing your anti-imperialism on deliberately not talking about what's happening in the countries themselves.

I think what pisses me off the most about Trump threatening Greenland with annexation is that it will serve Denmark to continue justifying its colonization. Bc so far all I’ve really seen is the MSM worrying about Denmark’s “territorial integrity” & not the sovereignty of the Kalaallit people.

Before idiots start saying Amorim was any good, he's LITERALLY the worst coach we've had lol

Before idiots start saying Amorim was any good, he's LITERALLY the worst coach we've had lol
Well, now Amorim's gone. Like I said here, the problem is I have no faith in the club board/leadership to get things right. Sacking Amorim because he's understandably frustrated about the mixed signals you've sent him (based on his remarks) is typically the kind of short-termism I hate
I don't think there's any hope for Man Utd as a club with that INEOS leadership. So far almost nothing indicates they're significantly more competent than the Glazers. I think Amorim wasn't and isn't the right coach for us, but in the end it's Berrada who picked him.

for people far removed from the actual suffering of the oppressed in this country, spontaneity in action seems far-fetched. spontaneity does not mean something that comes out of nothing. it's understanding that before organization, people themselves do surmise their own situation and then ACT.
