I don't know who needs to hear this but: the big lie is like a DDoS on our rationality. If we spend our time thinking about the hypocrisy it's working. Don't bother shouting "you make no sense" at people who spout nonsense. Talk to your allies. Radicalize them.
Political parties are basically drugs. Ours are awesome and every else's are disgusting. Once you are hooked it's awful hard to go without. The only way out is the buddy system. Talk to someone you love about socialism. Organize with them.

Minimizing COVID-19 is maximizing social harm
Governments, in the interest of maintaining the status quo, seem to be misleading people and hoping for the best.

The research is good, as far as my limited abilities to confirm/replicate it go: I probably gave a few bucks to a scammer today.

If "opposes genocide" isn't a litmus test for being a leftist then the term leftist is meaningless.

Sustaining our strike will mean leveraging things like the MA networks and community gardens that generalstrikeus.com are building
