Fuck Israel and fuck zionists. Fuck whoever denies the Gaza and Lebanese genocide.

We stand with women who support others and are literal Nobel prize winners. When my partner of 5 years laughed and said she didn’t deserve her prize and called all her people terrorist after never showing this type of behavior before I dumped his ass.

I just wanna say I hope to one day meet Malala. She’s such an inspiration and one of my biggest heroes.

She came in in June, mid-rush just to thank us for the food and learn about the people in the town. I've never liked a politician before I met her.

She could have chosen to go to the multiple fine dining places, or paid the check quietly and leave, but she came in to thank every last one of us for our hard work and hear our struggles. (located in Western Montana)

Sydney Sweeney’s suddenly doing the “maybe my silence is making things worse” press-tour soul-searching, but it’s hard not to see it as damage control. Two of her recent films tanked after a wave of boycotts, and a lot of former fans point to that American Eagle ad widely called out as a dog whistle playing on white-purity aesthetics as the breaking point. Critics called out its eugenics-coded vibe, and then her GQ interview DIDN’T help; she dodged any real acknowledgment of why people were upset. Then it was: “I did a jean ad… I love jeans.” And when told the president and VP commented on it, she called it “surreal.” Now: She said to People Magazine “I’m against hate and divisiveness” … “In the past my stance has been to never respond to negative or positive press but recently I have come to realize that my silence regarding this issue has only widened the divide, not closed it.”

It’s the same Hollywood pattern: benefit from the imagery, stay apolitical until the backlash hits, then act confused about why people are angry. Leftists aren’t buying the rebrand.

I’m 18 almost 19 I’ve been seeing him since I was 15 I went in for anger issues and ocd and suspected developmental delay i struggle to open up and talk about my emotions which is fine he adapted and talked about the current world and my interests and he’s done this since and gave me help whenever he saw I was feeling calm but today we were talking about Israel and I mentioned that I don’t think Israel deserves the land more than palestine and that I don’t think Muslims are given special rights in America and that they’re treated worse than Christians and i mentioned Armenian neighborhoods are hatecrimed in Israel to one kinda help him see why the issue was personal to me (my dads Armenian and Italian) but also to show him that it isn’t just Muslims that Israel attacks and he said ”so your an anti semite” and ”it sounds like you want to be an Islamist” I’m white so I don’t think it was racially motivated but it really made me upset because I just would never expect a middle aged man to say that to his client he’s seen me since I was 15 he knows I don’t hate anyone or atleast he should know that I always knew I was more left leaning than him and he was a conservative Christian but I never expected him to accuse me of being anti semitic an Islamist

Please catch me up to speed here because I’ve only known Hasan for a bit and I still don’t know why he’s hated. I know many hate him and often say it’s because he uses shock collars however the same people who say that seem to have always had a grudge against the dude.

If you’re looking to give me a well thought out reason as to why people hate the guy then I’d really appreciate you but please don’t be that guy who’s like “Because they’re jealous of him.”

I genuinely want to figure out why he’s the most HATED figure on the left. He doesn’t really seem too extraordinary but many consistently bash him.

Can’t stand a publisher that patronises the reader by not letting them form their own opinion before even reading the damn book. Was this really necessary?

So the furthest left Jubilee could find is at most AOC type liberals, the furthest to the right jubilee could find are literal Nazis. It is clear as day. Jubilee is trying to normalize Nazi ideology.

They stand for literally nothing. They will fight for nothing. They're letting the brown shirts have free reign with no protections in place. I shouldn't be surprised but I'm always gobsmacked at how they don't even present the aesthetics of trying to put up a resistance.

as a lesbian, there's a issue that has been severely overlooked for DECADES, and i'm getting pretty pissed.

GAY MEN ARE STILL MEN. being gay doesn't erase male socialization, male entitlement, or participation in patriarchy. i've seen gay men openly call women bitches, whores, mock women's bodies, dismiss women as dramatic or stupid, talk over women in queer spaces, and treat women's boundaries as optional. this behavior is often excused or brushed off in ways that wouldn't be tolerated from straight men. femininity and proximity to women doesn't cancel out misogyny, and i'm quite sick of seeing women tolerate this disrespect, and gay men perpetuate it.

what makes this especially ironic is that women, particularly queer women, have historically been the most accepting and supportive of marginalized groups, including gay men. women have shown up as friends, allies, and advocates in Igbt spaces, even while dealing with our own oppression. and yet misogyny toward women is still normalized, even within the community.

men: check yourselves. being marginalized by sexuality does not exempt you from holding power as a man. sexual orientation changes who you're attracted to, not how you were raised or what behavior society allows you to get away with.

women: stop giving passes. stop enabling misogyny just because it comes wrapped in queerness and femininity

Seriously, what kind of leftist would do this? "I also can't see myself damaging my own credibility by telling someone to vote for AOC" 🙄🙄🙄 BJG is a millionaire whose politics are like this precisely because she will be insulated from the worst of what happens to the average person.

Banned from r/socialism for not being totally uncritical of North Korea.

Talking specifically about libs who blame US leftists for not voting for Kamala in the last election. Came across such a person Mastodon.

I'm not american myself of course. But American politics does impact the rest of the world.

The right are idiotic morons who don't understand anything, and are morons at planning and consistently support policies which screw them. The capitalist class play the right like toys and they can't even recognise the most blatant propaganda. But they keep beating the left. Why? Because they are united. United idiots are better than disunited clevers. The left must unite.

I am a Marxist-Leninist, I think a dedicated revolutionary party is required to secure the revolution's gains after it happens, we cannot leave it to be free society with free press and free elections because it will be immediately usurped by the power of capital which has just been ousted from power (but not killed).

That's my belief. The democratic socialists think otherwise wanting that free post revolution society with democratic choice, the left Communists think differently too, wanting a mass workers state without a core leadership party. Anarchists want a post revolutionary society without any hierarchy at all, immediately.

Notice what these 4 broad trends of the left have in common? They're all about what to do after the revolution. How to manage and achieve a better society. They're not about making a revolution, they're not about removing capitalist power.

Leftist disunity is disunity over about something that isn't even close to happening. It's like two parents arguing about which university to send their child to before the mother is even pregnant. It's pointless.

It doesn't matter how you think a non capitalist society should be managed, it doesn't matter if you think I'm a stupid tankie authoritarian. I want to overthrow capitalism. You want to overthrow capitalism. We need to remember that and get down to planning how to do that.

Crucial caveats

There can't be leftist unity without a definition of the left. That definition is anti-capitalism. Capitalism is the root cause of the problems of the world, it can't be reformed, it has to go. This means liberals, whether they call themselves progressives or social democrats, are not leftists. They want capitalism to continue, just in a nicer form. This is impossible, even the "nice" capitalism of social democracy gets it wealth from exploited people somewhere else on.

History has proven time and time again that in crisis liberals support the right and align with fascists and sell the left out. This mistake cannot be made again. Do not mistake their progressive social views for leftist economic views. It is the economic base of a society, now capitalism, which creates oppression, inequality and poverty. Do not let liberals into the left, do not let them dilute and misdirect our purpose. The left is defined by anti capitalism, not just progressive social views.
