there are many issues we can agree to disagree on, but there are 6 upon which i will not compromise
1: scientific socialism
2: anti-zionism / anti-colonialism
3: intersectional feminism
4: anti-eugenics + vaccines work
5: pacifism is a tool of the oppressor
6: no slurs, period

Change is violent. A block of ice turns into water by melting. A pot full of water turns into steam by boiling, rising.
The same is true of societal change, where small ruptures escalate to the boiling point we call revolution.
Yet unlike chemistry, politics is non-deterministic.

"If voting mattered, they'd make it illegal."
Actually, it does & they are. What do you think voter ID is? Why are felons permanently stripped of basic voting rights, yet a felon is allowed to sit in the White House? Don't compromise, but don't be naïve either.

Today was a victory, but it is not the end. Now we must be vigilant, putting pressure on Zohran to keep his promises.
We cannot afford complacency. We must stand against lesser evils and for the greater good!

One of my biggest icks is when someone sees a homeless person in public and speaks of them as though they were a pest or prop. It's the most normalized form of everyday dehumanization, and it disgusts me more than anything I've yet seen a homeless person do.

If you don't want Zohran to succeed, you have no heart. But if you think Zohran is going to save America from slow collapse, you have no brain.

Most folks panic about their responsibilities when they leave high school. It's different when you've been micromanaging your health for a decade already. Easier.
Maturity & youth are not opposites. The hallmark of immaturity is trying to seem more adult than you're ready to be.

In microbiology, a culture dies when it is deprived of nutrients. The same is true of human cultures.
Culture wars are not mere distractions. They are the immune response of the imperialist country, attacking itself in a futile attempt to prevent its decline & return to "glory".

The reasons why caffeine & nicotine are legal (while cannabis isn't) are twofold:
1. Nicotine & especially caffeine are highly profitable legal drugs that can increase productivity at the workplace.
2. Criminalizing weed is an easy way to force black people into prison slavery.

I don't care if you're religious. I care if your religion drives you to do good, or if you use it to excuse exploiting and harming others.

If liberals truly wanted "equality of opportunity", they would campaign to drastically increase estate taxes and fight against the undemocratic menace we call inheritance.

Authenticity isn't a task, & there are no steps to make you more authentic.
Inauthenticity is a false consciousness; all you do is you.
This false consciousness is defined by the fear of what we are not, confusion about what we are, & the refusal to accept what we may become.

You HAVE to read Assata's autobiography.
It was on my reading list for a while, and now that I'm finally getting around to it, I wish I had sooner.
This excerpt, from early in the book, is particularly compelling.

american neofascism came in stages
ideologically it originated with cold war anticommunust propaganda, sometimes made by former nazis
structurally, it arrived in full force after the one-two punch of citizens united & the patriot act

Ableism & Suffering, 1/6🧵
Saying it would be better if disabled people were never born is ableist, even if it's "because they suffer".
Replace disability with gender/race in this context & the issue becomes obvious, but eugenics is so hegemonic that most people don't even KNOW the word "ableism".

Stop cowering in fear from your own subjectivity!
Subjectivity is what makes you dangerous; repressing it for some mirage of infallibility or detachment is self-sabotage and will render you politically inert!

so, steve boots is done with streaming?
i was part of his community for a bit, but left not long after he argued against the minimum wage & for increasing canada's military budget
a regular viewer in his discord said he'd want "revenge" on natives for landback, & yet he faced 0 consequences for it
