Yeaaah I'm making a personal account or something since posting about anything but politics on this account atp feels next to impossible
The DSA Right is so great; they don't wanna hold any of their politicians to any standards, they just take whatever bile they can scrape from the bottom of the barrel, to the point that liberal Zionists and self-identified "capitalists" are who they choose to represent them. Lmao

Not only is it not bad to compare oppressions, comparing oppressions, recognizing their resonances is exactly what transforms movements from chauvinist and particularist to genuinely emancipatory. This is true even if those oppressions differ in intensity or other ways.

⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported.
Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia.
The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
—of all the extra money every worker generates across the week. That's how it was described to me pretty much verbatim by one of our senior shift managers... mainly because said shift manager was lamenting other managers not getting part of that surplus value, despite most of it—
—impossibility to express real solidarity with workers as a manager on a structural level as well, particularly in the US, probably most other places. Managers cannot join unions. If they try to help workers create one (which would be against their interests anyway), they can go—
This is a perfectly valid comparison. They're people given special benefits over workers so long as they use their managerial powers as a means of making those under them fall in line. If they don't do what corporate/more powerful managers want them to do, then they lose their—
There're "good managers" in the same sense that there're "good cops," that being that they're the ones whom happen to feel less inclined to use the coercive force they've been given by virtue of their position over others in a power structure. It doesn't change what a manager is.
Can't wait to see the excuses on this one, if it's even acknowledged

idk why people still have this perception of the cartels as like a bunch of scrappy gangsters with AK-47s. they have billions of dollars. they can afford to buy nice weapons and gear for their soldiers, and there's no shortage of actors willing to sell them those weapons.
