Watch you flush it all away

Are we really the sole architects of our success and failure, or is that just what we’ve been taught to believe? What if the “self-made” myth is holding us back from real progress?

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

MARXISM TAUGHT ME WHAT SOCIETY WAS. I WAS LIKE A BLINDFOLDED MAN IN A FOREST, WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE NORTH OR SOUTH IS. IF YOU DON'T EVENTUALLY COME TO TRULY UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS STRUGGLE, OR AT LEAST HAVE A CLEAR IDEA THAT SOCIETY IS DIVIDED BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR AND RE THAT SOME PEOPLE SUBJUGATE AND EXPLOIT OTHER PEOPLE, YOU'RE LOST IN A FOREST, NOT KNOWING ANYTHING. -FIDEL CASTRO

#Capitalism suffers from psychosocial pathologies, and by blaming the marginalized, it inevitably paves the way for #fascism in our society. @austerityismurder.bsky.social & @profdavidfields.bsky.social
