i'm buying out the entire store, i hate this place and i want to take away the pleasure of shopping at the dumbass store from other dumbasses. i am the main dumbass anyway

it's not for lack of trying, but the far right doesn't deal with wreckers and state interference to the same degree the left does.

the left is also less willing to abuse human psychology to get people under the banner.

we can be like them, but we have to start getting left wing sympathetic people on board with things that traditionally the left finds abhorrent in this country.

A lot of little and big rubicons to cross culturally before we can have organizing like that.

specifically about the use of force and discipline around organizing. people need to accept enough hierarchy to be able to take orders, to be willing to do what it takes to keep your movement and your comrades safe.

acceptance that we've been at war for decades now, but haven't been acting like it. It's time to treat this like war and i think a lot of leftists are still not there in the USA w/r/t accepting that.

the rules based order and decorum dorks, it turns out, really don't like it when people don't pay lip service to dying like a dog for your country when called to do so.

man i lived with my mother who was like the epitome of the ideal of upward mobility, only to watch her body disintegrate and the systems nominally meant to help her shit all over her, i watched the deteriorating political situation cause once-loving family to turn on her as some kind of pariah parasite, i ended up falling far enough i began just being around people much worse off than me at the time, watching friends of color get harassed by police and their lives ruined by the 'justice' system - watched my dad's mental health collapse - my grandfather lose all non-familial support as his mind left his body - i've seen what bootstrapping does for someone on the fringes (it destroys your body and mind) - i've been desperate for more years than i've been comfortable in the shadow of all of that - and hexbear isn't even the first community of leftists i found that assured me that no, my experience wasn't unique, in these ways i wasn't actually going crazy - and the idea this place is somewhere that mostly radicalizes instead of being a place where the radicalized aggregate to in lieu of support from the major corporations that dictate most of the modern internet - it's insulting yeah, but it's also really funny. You have to be kinda derranged to think a federated reddit offshoot is causative rather than symptomatic

stay safe buddy

Fuck yeah lady

Derek Chauvin was sin eater for the entirety of the police force. A sacrifice to sate the dogs. Our fascist police state was never gonna give an inch beyond that. ACAB etc.

i used to think this woman represented a socailist incursion into congress.

lol. turns out she's the type to deploy with USAID to a developing country on the eve of a coup, so you know, the opposite of socialist. ah well, nevertheless.

What happened to bernie in 2020 broke me in a big way, like "i dont believe in the efficacy of democracy anymore" broke - but I knew he was irrelevant the second his campaign ended, and this does kind of affirm that.

I enjoy the back-handedness of what he's saying, it's like perfunctory and absolutely a non-defense of biden, but it just depresses me that this jackass isn't president instead and every time he speaks it just reminds me that democracy is fake and that all the insufferable buzzkill anti-electoralists were completely right about goddamn everything

they do? good Lord lmfao.

so everyone needs to know there are entire classes of trans folk who:

-simp the military -are liberal or even conservative -very much just want to disappear into a passing gender role of choice and integrate into society completely so they can go back to being thoughtlessly bourgeoise.

it is, as always, a race and class thing. I'm a working class trans femme and i live and breathe communism, but the idea that we're any more politically reliable than any other group is surely shorn of ignorance. There are large contingents of middle class, middle aged, white transfemmes who look at you funny and disinvite you to their functions if you talk about redistributing wealth or abolishing the police

Golly gee this nation sure is demonic
