Remember kids: if you speak out against Israel, you're antisemitic

if you didn't vote for Kamala Harris, you're a racist

if you think ICE should be abolished, you're a terrorist

if you're anti-capitalist, you're a stupid idiot child

i think people want to hope, but don't know what to hope in, or how to organize.

I need ppl to understand that no matter how well meaning someone running as a democrat is, when they are absorbed and become somewhat dependent on the party, they will make concessions and use language they provide etc

It’s like how capitalists, no matter how well meaning, need to increase profit

Something something "transitive trust problem" where the issue isn't the transitive nature of trust but the velocity (speed, direction) at which trust is transacted upon

Rich people find it amusing to pay somebody to do things like extract a cola from a vending machine, because they can. Surround yourself with a couple hundred such people. Now all of a sudden your relationship with reality is a cycle within which the baseline activity is paying for information

At some point, Zohran and/or DSA leadership got a visit from Mossad, and that's that. You will find Graham Platner suddenly bringing up Israel's long and rich culinary history sometime next week

Lauren McKenzie @themckenziest.gay · 12h

They all got the same memo

Zohran’ post Today's scenes of Israelis and Palestinians are profoundly moving: Israeli hostages being freed and families reunited after years of fear, uncertainty, and torture; the first days in Gaza without relentless Israeli bombardment of Palestinians as families return to rubble and loved ones freed from detention.

No translation necessary; I choose my words carefully!

Perhaps we should build a new model! Do complex quantitative systems exhibit a tendency to evolve in ways that alter their topological structure? Specifically, do they tend to "fill" the topological voids in their state space over time?

Not so! Capitalism is uniquely heinous as a method of value exchange because it fundamentally serves to obviate the motive force of trust valuation. Capital wants to stop moving: bad! Late-stage capitalism consists mostly of schemes to make it look like capital is moving when it isn't: very bad!

Padraig2112 @isomorphism.net · 1d

Many people On Here think that capitalism is uniquely bad, but when you boil it down, their fundamental critique of capitalism is a critique of humanity and power, not a particular economic system.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

tweet from The Persian Jewess ~ @persianjewess
In a disgusting display, @nbcsn| creates an antisemitic caricature of a Jewish woman, and mocks concerns about Zohran Mamdani's pro-jihadist views.
Meanwhile, just today Zohran Mamdani's wife posted a tribute to a Hamas terrorist on her IG Stories.

it's screencap from an SNL sketch with a character named RHONDA LaCENZO
