Dear working class people,
You were never meant to pay for your own existence. The term "earning a living" is unnatural. It should be a crime for anyone to force us to pay money for our basic human needs/rights; housing, food, clean drinking water, heating, education, etc.
Capitalism is unnatural.

Half a million people die a year just from the effects of US sanctions. This is how much damage is caused just from sanctions. This is what economic terrorism looks like.

Like a poor marksman, liberal nationalists keep missing the target. Adam Serwer is a terrific writer, but his latest piece in @theatlantic.com is an object lesson.

Parenti called out Chomsky for being the same "left intelligencia" he seems to rail against in his books. All the way in 1999. Seems like history has proven Parenti correct.
If you base your ideological standpoint and arguments from Chomsky's works, you need to rethink your decisions.

Just rewatched Guardians of the Gakaxy 3. Was shocked at how much the High Evolutionary sounds like Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk.

It's so frustrating reading all the anti-Trump posts that show zero historical context. So few see how the Democrats and Republicans together created the conditions for Trump's victory over the past several decades. There was no pre-Trump normalcy and there will be no post-Trump normalcy.

I made a long video about the "someone's got to do it" memes, where they came from, what they're really saying, and what these posts reveal about collective trauma, political cynicism, our decaying faith in democratic institutions and so so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrj...
