Yeah through my work the most common factor in whats preventing the situation from changing is the inability to move houses due to a lack of avilable social ones.

Id continue to help out domestic abuse victims, do art, build shit etc; just now I dont have some dickhead threating to kick me out of my house every month if I dont pay a ransom of half of my wages.

ah yes, progress is when you have sympathy for the people you are genociding?

Most Americans disapprove of the job Biden is doing. But voters did give Democrats strong midterms results, driven in part by the Supreme Court's blow to abortion rights and an aversion to more extreme candidates on the right.

its funny when people google search stuff and just link dump without reading it, as it often contradicts what they are saying.

most of this is fluff with a couple of socially progressive policies to throw to the left-center, none of it erases the damage the genocide, roe vs wade or the lack of action on the supreme court have done; half of it is just straight up lies in regards to the ecomony and income disparity.

Clearly this meme was made by the lizard lobby to distract from 9/11.

On the Jewish Question (which is interestingly one of the more antisemitic works I’ve ever read despite him having Jewish heritage).

They legit dont understand Marx was satirizing anti-semitism.

Marxist theory on the underclass suggests that the ruling class actually need a large class of underclass, unemployed homeless people. They serve a lot of functions for the upper class; slave labour, downward pressure on wages and working conditions, downward pressure on living standards, upward pressure on rent as housing becomes artifically unavilable to them.

Lastly it pits the working class against those underneath them as they literally fight each other for resources and survival. Its always a function, not a mistake that people are poor.

Dont undermine your friends concerns, educate them.

Yes, bisexual men would still be at risk, even if they arent it could easily just be an expression of solidarity and empathy for people who arent them.

People here are acting like men only started grooming young women when OF became popular.

This isnt a new issue, this generation isnt uniquely ruined by this; its just mysgony, which has been around for hundreds of years.

I also get vibes this video completely misses all of that.

I watched the first 3 minutes and its pretty low effort, shallow and reactionary analysis.

It makes a critical error of suggesting that most onlyfans creators are jumping into lambos and making millions; its not the case, I think only below 10% of OF creators actually make more than 1k a month.

I also take issue with how he moralizes against the creators ('lack of dignity')

A structural/class based analysis would be better.

Hate to nitpick, I just have low patience for reactoid content people.

Zionism was one of these cultural nationalist movements. What made it different was that it grafted itself onto British colonialism, a relationship made explicit with the Balfour Declaration in 1917, and actually tried to create a country out of a British colony — Mandate Palestine — and use British colonialism as a way to help establish itself in the Middle East. The Balfour Declaration was essentially a way to use the British Empire for its own ends. On some level, you could say Zionism is a toxic mixture of European nationalism and British imperialism grafted onto a cultural reservoir of Jewish tropes and mythologies that come from Jewish liturgy and culture.
