Of note is the swarm of white blood cells rushing to the scene to protect and heal the wound, in this case MSM issuing an undeniably bias and motivated campaign of trying to convince people to sell their GameStop stock, which would relieve pressure on hedge funds. This is the strongest confirmation I’ve seen that the movement to bankrupt the hedge funds is viable.
This is what occupy wall st was supposed to be
Whole-heartedly disagree. The truth is the only lasting remedy. Anything else, even if immediately appealing, is obfuscation and will fail eventually if not immediately.
Which is likely: trump’s handling of W Sahara serves Biden, or Biden serves to remedy our and other’s exploitation of W Sahara with Trump’s mishandling as fodder?
What are we talking about here? You just putting all your hope in Biden and covering the bet with justifications?
To talk about this on the merits would be to defend W Sahara, not to attack our past selves for the crimes. Let’s see what Biden does beyond ridicule.
To talk about this philosophically, it’s a question of incrementalism. I take your position to be that any gain is a good one. I see structured opposition and capitulations designed to perpetuate the oppression.
Hahaha “Trump’s” handling of W Sahara. At best this is good bate for the “move biden left” effort, which is of course pointless. The activist wing of trump derangement syndrome. Otherwise it’s cover for policy that has perpetuated the sulfur mine exploitation of local people and resources for much much longer
So good to have you with us. Thank you for fighting
Would love to practice on your DSA crew
But it also needs an oil change... kidding, kidding. the metaphor sucks but I’m interested in how social influence and outcome is structured re cause/effect. I liked someone’s comment here about “upstream/downstream” relationships. It’s a correlation and/or causation type problem.
To this specific point about the left embrace of the LGBT community: this is a perfect example for the conundrum of whether to start with near and achievable goals, or to start with the hardest project first? That was the car bit, but it only addresses the Order Of Operations and misses the more interesting point of which is more directly beneficial?
Which better improves the lives of the LGBT community: a slower gain with fewer chuds, or widespread success with those who are much closer to justice?
Which is greater, 1/1000 of a mile, or 160% of a meter? No unpaid labor, they’re the same.
That’s still an imperfect unpacking, I’m not sure they are the same. The cloudy part is which approach is more effective at starting any run-away cascade effects? Which is more energy efficient? Which is more effective?
I don’t think it’s knowable.
Curtis doesn’t speak to any of this though, doesn’t hold the chud up as some key demo either, his point, I think, is just talk to everyone, chuds included
Let’s say your car is dented and needs paint, you can afford only one of these separate repairs at the moment, which is first?
Curious why you say so. Honestly asking. Is there a take you feel he gets wrong, is he missing something, or framing issues poorly?
Totally agree. Interesting point. Couldn’t culture serve to demand and implement improved material conditions? I’m not on some wack “coalition building” kick, or even educating fallen bozos. Just hoping to box-out the power structure by undoing the intentional cultural fracturing.
Hear here! You’re exactly right to do this with concepts, not personal attacks
This is helpful information for the idiot masses who are currently fucking up the vaccine roll out. What is wrong with you people? We could have been through this by now if you all did your god damn job. Shape up, read, do the right thing. Everything is at stake
No it isn’t. It’s clean your guns. Sad is a dif site
You do understand that we’re experiencing the desired effect right?
Imposing our will on the world got us into this fucking mess. Think we lost our pass for vindicated foreign intervention a while ago. Ask not what you can do but what you have a right to.
Put every last one of them on TERF island and nuke it until there is no island left.
Hahaha what is trans dogma?
There were munitions in Iraq, just no WMD
This level of self reflection is not childish. There is no arrival, anyone claiming to have arrived is prob still on their decedent starting block. Follow passion, you fucking rock
Yes exactly. This is not a populist movement vs the establishment, it is now a battle among whales. However it was sparked by a populist movement, and it does threaten the inner workings of capital and market manipulation more than any other single effort in our life times
