literally everyone advocating for a meritocracy i ever met was the most mediocre white person you can picture. picture a middle aged white dude. you’re not wrong.

Under-discussed aspect of last 40 years in the u.s. is that as education costs went up the upper middle class used their political influence (esp at local level) to push scholarships/benefits to "merit" (defined by things their kids could access) and away from need (because they, too, hate the poor)

Rakesh Kumar @Rakeshhkumaar Follow Excerpt from The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins (2020): The fourth way that anticommunist extermination programs shaped the world is that thev deformed the world socialist movement. Many of the globa eft-wing groups that did survive the twentieth century decided that they had to employ violence and iealously guard power or face annihilation. When thev saw the mass murders taking place in these countries. it changed them. Mavbe US citizens weren't paying close attentior to what happened in Guatemala, or ndonesia. But other leftists around the world definitely were watching. When the world's largest Communist Party without an army or dictatorial control of a country was massacred. one by one. with no consequences for the murderers, many people around the world drew lessons from this, with serious consequences This was another very difficult question

I had to ask my interview subjects. especiallv the leftists from Southeast Asia and Latin America. When we would get to discussing the old debates between peaceful and armed revolution: between ardline Marxism and democratic socialism. would ask: "Who was right?" K n Guatemala. was it Arbenz or Che who had the right approach? Or in Indonesia when Mao warned Aidit that the PK should arm themselves, and they did not? In Chile, was it the voung revolutionaries in the MIR who were right in those college debates. or the more disciplined. moderate Chilean Communist Party? Most of the people I spoke with who were politically involved back then believed fervently in a nonviolent approach, in gradual, peaceful, democratic change Thev often had no love for the svstems set up by people like Mao. But they knew that their side had lost the debate. because so many of their friends were dead. They often admitted. without hesitation or pleasure, that the hardliners had been right. Aidit's unarmed party didn't survive.

right. Aidit’s unarmed party didn’t survive. Allende’s democratic socialism was not allowed, regardless of the détente between the Soviets and Washington. Looking at it this way, the major losers of the twentieth century were those who believed too sincerely in the existence a liberal international order, those who trusted too much in democracy, or too much in what the United States said it supported, rather than what it really supported—what the rich countries said, rather than what they did. That group was annihilated.”

it’s dialectics guys! it’s much more complicated than “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” - that’s a foolish sentiment. to celebrate the ways in which opposing actors have weakened US hegemony is not to endorse those actors in their entirety!
cyberstalin.bsky.social SandinistaPoints @cyberstalin.bsky.social · 11h
weakening the US, the biggest threat to humanity on earth, is going to make communism more possible than not. this is pretty straight forward to grasp but you people want to pretend like its about cheering on states like theyre soccer teams.

On all sides, at every step one comes across problems which man is quite capable of solving immediately, but capitalism is in the way. It has amassed enormous wealth—and has made men the slaves of this wealth.

SHE FORCED HER DAUGHTER TO COMPROMISE ON HER OWN NAME

she was a BAD MOM
illcaesar.bsky.social IllCaesar @illcaesar.bsky.social · 15h
As if Esther understands Brianna's transition herself. You called the name your kid picked out for herself "a stripper's name", you weren't entirely supportive. You just weren't the greatest parent. That's not why she died but this lack of self-reflection is erasing who your kid was and why she died
Ghey writes that she understands how difficult it might be for some readers to comprehend her child’s transition, but “for Brianna it was perhaps one of the easiest parts of her short life”. Ghey, Brianna and her elder sister Alisha listed off possible new names: Blossom? “That sounds like a stripper’s name.” Britney? “Please God, not Britney.” “It was like choosing names for a baby,” Ghey writes, “though I didn’t know or fully understand it at the time, I was giving birth to a new child and losing my old one.” Together, they settled on Brianna – “the only time in our entire lives that she willingly compromised on anything”. But Brianna’s gender identity is not the story here – or, at least, it is only a small part of a bigger, more complicated story.

Newsflash, homeless people don't have to be swept! They can stay wherever they figured they can set themselves up to survive. They ended up there because they were pushed out of housing by hard times. It doesn't matter how unsightly these real humans who are suffering are to you! Deal.

Given some of the stuff in the Epstein files, the bonus for the Predator Elite of making trans lives really difficult is that, while some trans kids will kill themselves, others will just accept sexual availability/ servitude as the price paid for being able to transition at all.

Cass acknowledges "There are a tiny number of people who will never be comfortable with their biological sex, with the gender associated with their biological sex.

"And for them, a medical pathway is the only way they're going to live their life comfortably. And we don't understand why that is"

“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”
Stacy Bradley voted for President Trump because of his border policies, and she likes that he has restored “law and order.” But she is unsettled by one aspect of his immigration agenda. Last month, the federal government bought a warehouse next to her cheerleading gym in Surprise, Ariz., which the administration plans to convert into a detention center for up to 1,500 immigrants. Ms. Bradley, the co-owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer, said she worried that a detainee could escape, or that protests could break out. The children who train at her gym are as young as 3 and could see “people in shackles” next door, she said.
