🍵😏 being raised to accept feeding yourself & loved ones to people profitting off your suffering & shortened lives is a deep betrayal by those who taught us to accept it

& a deep betrayal of ourselves
to accept,
which i believe most of us feel
at some level,
even if we don't clearly comprehend it,,

jerry buchko ·☽︎.˙ @jerrybuchko.bsky.social · Dec 25

🍵😏 on a more thoughtful note
i think this state of subjugation
& exploitation we're socialized & indoctrinated
to accept as civilized & good

along w/ the terrible harm
it's done globally
over literal generations

is deeply violent;

the expectation we shouldn't
react is a facet of that violence,,

COVID-19 has revealed that much of the US public is willing to accept mass death and abandonment. We were pushed by propaganda to see many around us as disposable. That helped set the tone for current fascist violations. I wrote about it for @prismreports.org.

Another way out: Building resistance when passivity is the norm

The COVID-19 pandemic should have shown us that we’re supposed to be meeting needs, not falling in line behind fascist incursions

You can't have good mental health under capitalism, because good mental health requires having your physical and emotional needs met, while capitalism is predicated on taking those away to sell them back to you at a price you may not be able to afford.

Poverty has always been a blame game. Temperance societies used to blame drink for poverty instead of chronic sickness, low pay et al because it suited their pisspuffin agenda and suited their funders who were often the people responsible for the chronic sickness and low pay.

A woodland path, partially obscured by fallen leaves, cuts softly through an autumn forest. The sun, low and visible through the trees, spotlights the seasonal oranges and golds.

The autumn colours are coming along nicely in the nearby woods - will be back at the weekend, no doubt :)

Forest view with some green and yellow/brown ferns below, some bare upright trunks, and some red/orange/yellow leaves above.

A woodland scene with some very nice red autumnal turkey oak leaves. Lots of green, orange and yellows too.

People’s homes are being raided by authorities while the social media left cosplays Engels and Bakunin without actually reading either or the broader socialist movement. Just lots of talking, little to no study, and a culture of rhetoric that leads to no transformation. That’s “leftism” in 2025.

5 years of the COVID-19 pandemic: The origins of a social catastrophe

The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the incapacity of capitalism to deal with the problems of mass society, and that this social system is in an advanced state of regression.

I’m teaching abt Red Summer today, when white vigilantes & National Guardsmen across the country harassed, detained, assaulted, & murdered Black Americans as part of a backlash against Black military service in WWI.

We’ll also be discussing Lucy Parsons’s classic “Americans! Arouse Yourselves!” in which she argues that voting alone will only reinforce these systems of violence & subjugation. Given the actual events of Red Summer, her assessment is difficult to dismiss.
