It's so true.

In christofascist America, children can choose between any of 5 genders:

I love that people are starting to realize a corporate oligarchy isn't good actually and I *strongly* believe in harm reduction, but these members of the ruling class are not my comrades. We have no affinity, they simply are acting in ways that align with my (our) interests atm.
Solidarity forever!

I think discourse on alliances is important, and just want to stress 100000% how bad puritanical thinking is, but I think that using churchill and stalin during WW2 as acceptable allies is not born out by history. Stalin, Churchill and the us immediately repressed most resistance groups postwar,

This is why he gets to be a hero, instead of a patriarchal imperialist colonizer in contemporary thought.
He happened to hate the "correct" evil empire from american/western point of view.

This is, I think, very similar to Republican politicians working against trump, and honestly imo Democrats.

Churchill was a Tory most of his career in politics and a huge propent of British imperialism and supported Facism initially for fear of socialist, communist and anarchist revolutions. Once the Reich became an imperial rival though, he decided to fight them to protect uk imperial interests.

Do you feel like people like Buttigiege enough to... Rally? Seems to me like 2020 style protester led protests is a better idea then involving big name Democrats and therefore their donors in resistance.

Probably getting paid to not do anything that helps anyone besides the lobbies that already pay them.

So, as unproductive as it can feel, it's deeply important to unlearn and remake Means that do not serve our Ends.
We need a language of fury based on the actual evil of oppressors, not that normalizes abuse of comrades and *ourselves*.
I say Ghoul and vampire a lot, what about you? (4/4)

And I could continue this until I died without needing any new events for my fury, to say nothing of comrades with less passing privilege then me. But the Republicans are the angry ones, because they have a system of language designed to express anger that isn't even really theirs. (3/4)

Like, we think of Republicans as angry, but why? What are they angry about? Trans people existing or whatever. I'm angry because Israel betrayed the ceasefire, because the ADL defended musk and genocide, because trump has openly started day one with imperialist and anti trans executive orders. (2/4)
