Got through half of C. Viper's trials in USF4, and I knew she was technical, but cancelling an EX Seismic Hammer in to super jump into Ultra is hard on on a whole other level.

don't quote Lincoln
in fact, don't quote any official leader person unless they were standing with marginalized people and punching up
whatever you think they said that was "good" was just more propaganda to keep white/str8/cis/abled folks comfy and in control, which is how we got to where we're at

Sometimes folks need to check their sources before reactionarily trying to dunk on stuff. Ive been guilty of this in the past, but seeing that article blow up just cements that doing your own research will save you time & energy.

The bombing has suddenly resumed everywhere. The crossings are closed, and prices have skyrocketed. My mother and I were sitting in front of our tent when a nearby area was hit. Please, help my family — we just want to get out of here.

If the powerful ppl behind the politicians wanted to create something that would channel anti-fascist, anti-capitalist energy into a "movement" that made no demands, did not disrupt their systems of profit, but still made ppl FEEL like they took action, "no kings" is perfect.
It worked.

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @geauxgabrielle.bsky.social · 12h

As far as Im concerned, the No Kings protest is a psyop to make sure that nobody actually questions the system we are living under and thus never demands change. The figureheads are fine taking turns at the helm. They just wanna make sure y’all dont make trouble for the SYSTEM

IM SCREAMING LMAO

The organizers of that shit are opps. Im sorry 😂😂😂😂😂😂

A few notes: We've changed the "No Kings" theme of other events around the world to "No Tyrants," so as not to mix messages in a country with a monarchy. We're also swapping out "No Crowns!" in favor of "No Clowns!" Come dressed as a Tr*mp clown--DT himself, or one of his cronies. Think bad blonde wig, orange face, long red tie, or whatever gets your creative juices flowing!

it seems like these no kings protests are yet another move in the history of neoliberal co-option of leftist direct action

Assata's words are the gospel truth. The education systems of the West were never built to liberate BIPOC, they were built to reproduce obedience, erase our heroes, and make us forget that revolution is possible.

They teach us to admire our oppressors & to distrust those who fought for our freedom.

A revolutionary-style poster featuring a red and gold background with a halftone portrait of Assata Shakur, the Black revolutionary, former member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army. On the left side of the poster is a powerful quote from her autobiography Assata: An Autobiography, written in bold capital letters:

> “The schools we go to are reflections of the society that created them. Nobody is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.”

Beneath the quote, her name appears in large red text — ASSATA SHAKUR — followed by the title of her book in yellow: ASSATA: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

The visual design evokes revolutionary posters from the 1970s, symbolizing defiance against capitalist, white supremacist, and imperialist systems of education and control.

Saw these images posted on social media, from the recent “No Kings” protest in the US, where blue maga liberals were holding signs like these.

It perfectly sums up the liberal worldview: they don’t hate fascism. They just hate when the wrong people are in charge of it.

A protester in Times Square, New York City, holds a large cardboard sign reading, “OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE NOT FASCISTS!” The protester faces away from the camera toward a dense crowd surrounded by digital billboards and skyscrapers. The sign implies faith in the moral purity of America’s colonial founders, overlooking their role as slave owners, capitalists, and imperialist genocidal maniacs who genocided Native Americans, stole their lands, broke treaties with them, while enslaving Africans. The image was posted on social media as part of the “#NoKings” protest against trump by blue maga genocidal democrats and liberals.

A photo from a protest showing a crowd of mostly middle-aged people holding signs. One large cardboard sign reads, “If Kamala were president, we’d all be at BRUNCH.” A small American flag sticks out from behind the sign. The image was posted with the hashtag “#NoKings.” The scene reflects blue maga genocidal democrat and liberal protest culture in the United States, where participants express nostalgia for “normal” capitalist, white supremacist, and imperialist politics under blue maga genocidal democrat and liberal leadership rather than demanding systemic change.

The paradigm should be pretty clear by now.

The fascists do something indefensible or obviously crazy, they frame it as “concerning” while obscuring the danger.

Anyone anywhere brings up reform and you get nonstop coverage of how “dangerous” it is.

It’s consent manufacturing.

Hey guys, things are getting shaky. I'm still having no luck with finding work, and my wife's payroll has been inconsistent again, which is going to greatly impact our ability to pay rent and bills next month. We have to pay $800 but we only need to raise $400 to keep things afloat.

The blue maga liberals will do anything to remove focus from actual systemic change, even calling their pointless protest, “no kings” protest, takes focus away from the fact that trump came to power with nothing but the tools provided to him by the american liberal capitalist “democratic” process.

As Marxists who engage the working class and try to help awaken their class consciousness, I think it's important to understand that deconstructing capitalism isn't just an intellectual thing, it's also emotional. And I feel like the emotional part of it is often neglected.
