I don't know if I can do it
Imagine sitting in a corner, just losing your religion and some asshole throws a spotlight on you.

Gotta be Trotsky, and I'm no Trotskyist.
Which socialist theorist/revolutionary is the most over-hated?

I'm 44 and are you for fucking real?
As an older millennial that was a teenager for these movies, I do not remember anybody saying the prequels sucked at the time. That was social media revisionism by nerdy edgelords on social media 10 years later. Episode I is a masterpiece (and Empire is still my favorite)

Support but needs to be extended to universal basic services like housing, otherwise that money gets gobbled up by the landlord.

DSA’s relationship to Stalin’s legacy is so funny bc- 1. Most of our Stalinists are doing his liberal popular front strategy (GW) 2. Stalin himself would be expelled from DSA for violating R22 (material support for Israel)
If the tent is big enough to include literal Stalinists, it should be big enough to include social democrats and even disaffected liberals. Fully get why people would have issue with that but I don’t think we’re in a position to be picky given how big of a hill we have to climb.

Despite Maddow making her name breathlessly covering Trump's connections to Russia, the MSNOW host has been silent on the Trump clan's sprawling––and far more numerous and overt––ties to Israeli influence operations. I wrote about Maddow's conspicuous refusal to cover IsraelGate.

With every revelation about Russell Brand, Mark Fisher's "Exiting the Vampire Castle" essay ages like milk.
Russell Brand’s trial is devastating. Testimony describes him as a rabid animal, demanding sex every few hours from whoever happened to be around, and taking it regardless of consent Brand’s defense is that women knew he was a degenerate maniac, so they should have expected it by being in a room with him (several allege he attacked them in public and tried to drag them into bathroom stalls) This is separate from FIVE disturbing allegations in Channel 4 Dispatches. Brand has zero regard for women as human beings - I can’t even imagine how many victims there truly are Blows my mind that so many people peddle his lunacy portraying him as a truth-telling martyr being smeared by the establishment - and buy his newfound religious hucksterism Makes sense he’s leapt into the movement of sexual offenders and pedophiles, where he belongs (other than prison)

Making me break out the ancient texts on this one.
Reposting this banger from @ContraPoints. Leftists overestimate themselves massively. They're not nearly as eclectically well-read as they think they are.

Remember his explanation for flying on the Lolita Express where he said he was "baffled as to who this Epstein guy was and why we were all on his plane"?
Malcolm Gladwell is a fucking fraud and has made a career and millions just spewing bullshit that falls apart if you have a working brain or decide to lightly fact-check him. A phenomenally stupid man and grifter.

I have just published a piece that is very important to me. It's about why so many "progressives" and people on "the left" are lying to us right now about crime, safety, and repression, and what we should be doing instead. equalityalec.substack.com/p/…

Remember when Trump was convicted of a felony a few months before the election and was theoretically supposed to serve prison time but then *vaguely shrugs at everything*?
Biden admin for 4 years: oh golly gee we can't possibly charge and put Trump officials on trial, it would seem political! We need to unify! Brazil judge 24 hours after Lula wins: SURRENDER YOUR PASSPORT

Cool thing about Catholicism is that racism is not only condemned as sin but anathematized as heresy.
Attended my local Church here and the priest was Indian, there were female altar servers, Protestant music and the majority of the parishioners were migrants. I left Mass in a state of deep anger and will probably never go back to that parish ever again. I despise all of it.
