Every war, every revolution, demands the sacrifice of a generation, of a collectivity, by those who undertake it.
Who is the best primary candidate to replace him?

Regardless of her interviews, she has destroyed the credibility of the publication.

Yes - they want rioting. They want martial law. They want justification to suspend elections without pissing off their heavily armed rural base that aren’t already motivated by christian nationalism or outright fascism.

The economist has lost all credibility since Zanny Beddoes became the editor. It used to be one of the best publications.

Disengagement and lack of good faith participation by the alleged perpetrator is the primary friction.

I have also seen a lot that restorative/transformative justice practices take a lot from the facilitators, often folks are giving hundreds of person hours with no perceived changes.

Can you cite some examples of functional restorative justice systems?

Every text I have read, which are mostly published by explicitly leftist and anarchist publishers are pretty clear that almost all attempts to actually apply restorative justice principles in real examples like SA fail.

lol - that is not at all how Putin and Surkov operate what are you talking about?

Maybe we should take lessons from movements and strategies that actually achieved their aims? Those students were crushed and their organizers were imprisoned.

I unequivocally agree. I just wanted to distinguish between traditional conceptions of ‘the left’ and the contemporary diaspora that includes post-left progressives like the abundance yimbys and resist libs, neo tankies like the hasanites, or the online intersectional slacktivist crowd.

That publication is not popular with almost anyone on the far left. It has like 3000 youtube followers and it doesn’t even classify as a micro influencer on insta. It is extremely niche.
October 17, 2025 at 3:21 PM
You either don’t understand what constitutes the far left or you are unhinged.

I hope your value system emphasizes community defense enough to actually defeat those south dakota values. Victims of state violence have a tendency to not consent to it. History shows that what really matters is the capacity to reciprocate.

Just pointing out that these are not necessarily exclusive states.

It can be both catastrophic and inevitable.
September 27, 2025 at 5:59 PM
well I am certainly not out here misgendering people

lmfao - good luck virtue signaling fascism away. Let me know when you actually start building a better future, maybe we can collaborate to feed people, deliver necessary medical care to those that don’t have it, and housing folks that are sleeping rough.

You’re a fucking idiot - you see someone gently critiquing your lazy ass approach and your small mind can only assume I am a bad faith actor. Seriously - go connect with your local mutual aid group
September 1, 2025 at 3:06 PM
Eat shit. Fascism depends on your inaction to function.
September 1, 2025 at 2:56 PM
Lol ok - keep telling yourself that.

I am saying that posting an average of 30 times a day about bullshit is problematic and people should organize offline and spend less time on this hell app.
September 1, 2025 at 2:40 PM
It’s absolutely not. Bedridden people can organize - logistics work is key, running the recruiting channels, designing posters, email and coalition work. If you can post, you can do plenty of stuff that actually matters.

Assuming differently abled people can’t contribute is truly ableist af though
September 1, 2025 at 2:39 PM
If folks like you were organizing with your neighbors instead of posting an average of 20-30 times a day it would be a lot easier to array real hard power and achieve meaningful change. Posting is a waste on time. I hate checking in on what is happening on these algorithm driven hell apps.
