Ik hoop ten zeerste dat Timmermans ziet dat er een pad is dat allerlei kritiek als “radicaal” aanneemt als geuzennaam, en vooruitstrevend doorgaat. Ja, we zijn radicaal want het moet radicaal anders. De stille meerderheid van Nederland is klaar met Netanyahu en oorlog.

Not sure if you’re already planning on this but I’d love to hear some reflections on what an inverse Mr. Beast would look like. A game show that promotes cooperation, reveals how systems and hierarchies work, then seeks to build something new rooted in compassion. Rewarding altruism and mutual aid.

I know Leia, but a queer can dream ;-)

You’re being way too pessimistic. I for one welcome the idea of Elon and a million of his buddies being flown to, and making it to Mars. We should encourage him to go there!

Hey! Be kind to lsd. Mark Fisher’s ‘Acid Communism’ is a fun read

The alternative could be so beautiful! Post capitalism stands for a world of freedom, compassion, care for those who need it, kindness, equality, and meeting as many people as possible in their needs. And what do we have to give up? Billionaires, basically - and the system that created them. WINTL?

That’s why the free and open internet will likely become a target of the Trump administration within the year.

And I’m like, yea, I get that. But shouldn’t that be a reason to lean into the American dream a little harder and realize that when you actively organize you can make real change? Don’t wait for the TV to encourage you - we live in times of access to a/the world of information and knowledge!

Realistically speaking, a wholehearted “yes, they have always been the better/least harmful option”. But what I don’t get as a European is that somehow that seems to be enough for so many of you in the US. But they have more money and media - you might reply - and a left alternative won’t make it.

First they came for the bureaucrats, but I didn’t care, because efficiency

Then they came for the transwomen, but I didn’t care because they were in jail

Then they came for a Palestinian, but I didn’t care because maybe - I don’t know, I didn’t look into it - he was antisemitic or something

There’s so many phenomenal women that should be there instead of Harris - who supported genocide
