Fighting for liberation means both taking a place within generational struggle AND seizing as much as possible, as quickly as possible, whenever it's actually possible.

Humans need other human beings to survive. I'm sorry that this makes some people lose their shit but it's one of the key truths of life.

Step aside from even the content. Why are you advising on messaging- just deliver the message. Reminds me of Newsom saying he doesn't know what the Dem party stands for on his podcast. Motherfucker you are the dem party!

I stg this is a tale as old as time. Rather than doing everything they can to fight for and excite their base, they throw us under the bus thinking it will help them get people who will never vote for them anyway. Focusing on their base would win them elections. We're begging them to *want* to win.

the reason people still want to go indie and put themselves at tremendous risk is not wanting to put up with this kind of shit anymore. it's completely insane and completely humiliating how normal it is for companies like this to put people through all kinds of weird torture to prove their worth
3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

Yes. I think it's also a sign of how status quo propaganda around "good change is inherently painfully slow" has seeped into the wider culture, even among radicals (you are not immune to propaganda, etc).
But it was never true! That was just an excuse used to deny basic demands and shut people up.

maybe i’m naive but i think it’s kinda doomerism to always be saying this is gonna take decades to undo or you’ll be old or dead when it ends. first it doesn’t matter, plant trees you won’t live to sit in the shade of. second great change is capable of happening very quickly

as this pandemic won’t be the last and climate catastrophes also poison the air, i believe the right to clean air should be a universal demand on the left

For those of us older millenials, we lived through Bush going from an unstoppable political machine in 2002 that was routinely in the upper sixties and seventies of approval and like fifty positive net, to persona non grata, someone who basically disappeared from public life altogether
the scramble for GOP hopefuls to distance themselves from Trump as the ship goes down is going to be crazy and the most important thing to do is sink all the lifeboats
none of them are allowed to escape his legacy

I don't really want to dignify this nonsense with a response, but:
*porn is still everywhere
*you can still masturbate without it
*men are not the only ones who do either
*a once great nation brought to its knees by male irritability
The doctor's name is Dix.

Online Safety Act going great, they brought in an urgent care doctor to caution the Brits going cold turkey from porn. She warns of mass insomnia. I wish I were joking.
Porn is not a drug. Masturbation releases the dopamine. Neither is bad. We are in the craziest sex panic of my life.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?
