(paraphrasing) the far left will say to firebomb a Walmart but not actually do it
We burnt down a motherfucking police station
A major climate bill
If it does nothing to change the trajectory of climate change than how is it major?
(Paraphasing) What have the anti-electoralist left done in comparison to the democrats?
Why the fuck are you comparing the least powerful people in the country to some of the most powerful? Are you even a leftist, Contra?
Not to mention the absolute stupidity of saying the anti-electoralist left is ineffective, when I'm pretty sure both Marx and Lenin both pointed out the pointlessness of bourgeoisie elections (maybe theory nerds can correct me if I'm wrong?)
I haven't watched Contrapoints for a loooong time, but she was always my least favourite Breadtuber. She had this sort of "Trans people should try to pass if we want to be accepted" video if I recall correctly and that's when I noped the fuck away from her videos.
Skull boy is okay, the rest of breadtube can suck my enby ass. Half of them give me fed vibes anyway.

Oh yeah she has done that and more. She has the most libbed up trajectory. She did the voting video if I remember, where she opines how revolution is bad and leads to "China tiananmen square 1989 mao great leap forward 1000 billion dead". And blames tankies for trump winning prior.
Anyway she also did hillary girlboss docu and gleefully bantered with hilldawg and Chelsea. Awesome.
Apparently gaza is mega complicated for her to decide which side is bad .
Ok now I get why people say she's dismissive of nonbinary people. Trans people are supposed to pass? Like I'm nonbinary and agender. What am I supposed to pass as? A rock?
i'm really glad everyone is so sweet and considerate. I often don't even feel trans enough or that I'm not doing anything, since most people don't even know I'm nonbinary unless I tell them. I'm not on HRT or anything and don't have discrimination from my immediate family (extended family is a different story). All I've really faced is that coworkers and random people don't understand or believe me, they say I'm just making stuff up. But I know who I am and so do my comrades, so I'm really grateful for that. At most I sometimes feel like I'm "supposed" to present androgynous, but why? I'd rather just be comfortable and present how I feel like. I mostly dress as a mid-90s lesbian, like with skinny jeans and boots lol.
My biggest enby victory so far is a time when I went to jury duty. I'm registered in the county with my gender as "Other" and so the judge had literally no idea how to address me. Kept going back and forth between "Mister" and "Miss" and that kind of ruled.
About the marx and lenin thing, both of them saw working class participation in bourgeois poltiics as necessary for the working class to count its own strength and put forth its political program. They saw it essentially as preparatory work for any revolution.
Neither had any illusions that participation in bourgeois politics by voting for bourgeois parties or bourgeois candidates would have any benefits. I don't know which one said it, but they even explicitly point out that it is better for the number of reactionary representatives in parliament to increase than for the working class candidates to deradicalise their program, or sell out to the bourgeoise.
That is because, again, the point is to disseminate revolutionary views within the population, to create a known alternative that could become a rallying cry if a revolutionary situation presented itself.
Now that I think about it, medicare for all is funnily enough, a good example of this strategy. For a long time, the idea was completely mocked, but now that we went through that period of Ideological struggle around 2016 and 2020, it has become far more mainstream.

Marx:
“Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to public attention. They must not be led astray by the empty phrases of the democrats, who will maintain that the workers’ candidates will split the democratic party and offer the forces of reaction the chance of victory. All such talk means, in the final analysis, that the proletariat is to be swindled. The progress which the proletarian party will make by operating independently in this way is infinitely more important than the disadvantages resulting from the presence of a few reactionaries in the representative body.”

do you even need to ask lol
if you’re not allowed to show everything lib she’s ever done, and you squint hard, there may be a case for the moderate wing of fascism at best
contra need the "pro" first for its existance .. it is the `reaction´ one could say..
Propoints
propointproponant

You rock. 🤘
You're supposed to pass through fascist and terf guts
And you all already pass as a bunch of very cute and wholesome comrades
Don't tell me that if you could pass as a rock you wouldn't leap at the chance
is it like in Kirby where I can metamorph into a rock and roll down inclines
It works even better if you can fly or float so you can do the classic super smash Kirby move of flying up high before turning into a rock
white liberal trans always become fuckin bigoted against nonbinaries, fucking just as bad as the fucking transphobes at that point
and you are a cute and amazing person axont, you pass by existing, like any other trans person

Unrealistic standards for enbies, smh.
Seems like my gut was right then, yikes

Thank you!

Exactly. Voting is fine, not verboten, but vote for communist parties, fuck the liberals.

Sean skullman and hbomberguy stay winning
Once again reminding people that
was an unrelated apartment building under construction that burned down in Minneapolis and not the police station.
Well we need a picture on that police station then
