I met a guy who claimed he did more for Black folk than BLM because, over the years, he had approved raises for multiple Black employees at the warehouse he managed.
Well if he is talking about the official registered BLM nonprofit as opposed to the actual movement....
he did the chris rock joke unironically

lockhead martin literally sell weapons they know will be used to execute gay people
The left claims to be inclusive and yet it's Lockheed out in the trenches building the disability coalition.
I can't speak for other people, but I THINK most of my trans comrades would say "killing kids in the middle east so I can have a job isn't a real solution to transphobia"
There unfortunately is a very real contingent of trans imperialists and compradors. Trans-ness does not have some inherent quality that makes the person have good takes, just like there are plenty of reactionary and liberal gays
Learning that being an oppressed minority doesn't confer any intersectional regard for the oppression of others was a really hard lesson for me.
I can't take this discourse anymore it's a
FUCKING
MURDER CORPORATION
remove all worms from your brain, log off, consider the audacity of defending your job sending missiles to kill and maim people as ANTI-ABLEISM WTF
Liberals, liberals, liberals. Employment as liberation. A slaveowner could hire a house servant with a wage and these people would defend it as anti-racism.
Yes, but it is a murder corporation that will give you an HMO plan with a $3000k deductible and 20% copays and match $1 for every $3 you put into a health savings account, which is more than any leftist has ever done for anyone ever.
Without Lockhead Martin, tens of thousands of Americans would be unable to pay off their five figure student debts or afford their Tesla car note premiums. They couldn't own ranch style property on the California coastline or stimulate the food service economy, where marginalized POC subsist almost entirely on gratuity.
How much of the Nevada desert would go underdeveloped without Lockhead weapons testing sites? How much of the Arizona real estate would be rural and agricultural, rather than built up into a thriving suburban metroplex?
Lockhead is critical to the American way of life. If you hate Lockhead, you might as well say you hate America.
Americans are so cucked they think hiring a worker is a favor capitalists do for them because they're so nice
I too would support my disabled trans comrades financially if I had billions in blood money from war profiteering, unfortunately we can't all engage in praxis at the level of lockheed martin
Saying you do disability activism is one way of marketing your job at a weapons manufacturer.
"Our new, ergonomic remote piloted bomber stations will finally let differently abled patriots conduct high casualty offensives with greater comfort"
If they rescinded the minimum wage, I could give loads more transfolk jobsif Lockheed really cared they'd give all those javelins and himars to trans people to use in an insurgency against TERFS and their repressive governments
idk but I have a funny image in my head of Harry Potter getting splashed by a Stinger. Boom, right off his stupid broomstick.
Genuinely love this imagery. The missile catches on his cape, pulling the young wizard into the sky before dragging him down onto Big Ben
Anyone that works or worked for a private military contractor or the US military in any capacity can go fuck themselves and jump off a cliff. Anyone excusing this shit can follow them.
I love to have my surplus value extracted. I am a leftist because I'm not straight!
Jesus christ how did we get here.
sorry sweatie, centering your relationship to capital would be cLaSs rEdUcTiOnIsT
Whoever conflated left leaning liberalism with actual leftism was the world's only genius. God damn is it some pernicious bullshit.
He has apparently logged off, people are just carrying the torch of outrage on his (Is his right I rarely encounter neopronouns?) behalf.
