If by 'woke' we mean something like 'opposed to oppression wherever it exists', socialists need to be 'woke' because literally the whole point of socialism is to, um, oppose oppression wherever it exists.

@firefox.com, when do we get the option to delete something from the search options list in the settings menu? Especially perplexity and other LLM slop, which nobody wanted there in the first place...

Bougie Leftists: You have to concentrate on populist economic issues to appeal to the working class because they don't care about anything else. Workers: We want social, cultural, racial, bodily, sexual, gender, and national equality as well as economic equality. Bougie Leftists: Elitist snobs.

If someone's identity is in danger of being erased by diversity... Good. It should be. The sooner the better.

Gosh, I wonder how such a huge swathe of the UK public came by what are effectively nazi opinions. Luckily we have objective, non-propagandistic media to deliver neutral reportage on stuff like this.

new EPISODE about TRASH and specifically HAZARDOUS TRASH

If Jenny Racicot were a Republican, the 'Platner left' would still be calling this a frame-up and calling her a liar. And the point isn't partisanship. It's misogyny and rape culture, slightly mediated through the aesthetics of party politics as curated for their particular paying audiences.

The online progressive left have revealed a widespread moral and political bankruptcy in l'affair Platner. We've witnessed a squalid orgy of casuistry, misogyny, and conspiracism. And for what? Milquetoast reformist electoralism with the Dems that they talk about like its the 2nd coming of Marx.

The Platner situation just demonstrates, yet again, that the stuff you hear about the left not being sufficiently welcoming to white straight men is utter horseshit. In fact Platner demonstrates the opposite. A worthless candidate was chosen and then defended long past reason. And we all know why.

They misuse labels people think mean good things. Being a centrist is utterly immoral. Being a liberal means serving the rich. Being a social democrat means nothing when you're neither of those... Democracy is a good idea. We just cannot allow the right to play, they always cheat and ruin the game.

Jack Graham@timescarcass.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I've said this about the US Dems so many times, so let me be clear that it applies to UK Labour as well. They'd rather lose to the Right than win with the Left. The tacit part of that is: they *are* the Right, just in a disguised form.

Here are all 113 alleged members we were able to successfully extract. This data can also be verified via versions of the site captured by the Wayback Machine, even if it doesn't properly render the website.

At the university level it would be the (exclusively right-wing) political theory lecturer who decided to take their frustrations out on us. We didn't even get a word in, he just rattled the questions and then failed us in the same breath. Us being a budding socialist was probably a factor.

The tenth grade math teacher who, after I brought in a photocopy of a college textbook making it explicit that I was right that “if” and “only if” meant different things in formal logic, still marked me wrong on the relevant test question because I hadn’t learned that in her class.

Yeah, journalism has been dead for a while. This is just the bloated decomposing corpse twitching due to gas and maggots.

The US needs to change, to become a real democracy, not an oligarchical and dictatorial parody of one. If one leader elected by the elite minority can decide on laws and policy without actual checks or balances... It's not a democracy. Doubly so if the people's right the vote is infringed on.

This is the problem... one of the problems... with having the state run by a psychopath. You reach an agreement with him. He thinks "Good. I won." No matter what you said, he heard "I surrender". No matter what he said, he thought "I'll do as I please."

@support.bsky.team, why is the block user function missing from our account? Why are scambots able to follow and repost us even if we don't allow that in our settings?

So, @safety.bsky.app, why is the blocking accounts feature missing? We get a bunch of hatebots and scambots following us, and we DON'T HAVE THE OPTION TO BLOCK THEM.

This is the way

"Effective altruist" is a double oxymoron.

So @support.bsky.team, where is our account blocking feature? It's missing, and there's a bunch of scambots we need to block.

A photo-story about abolishing ICE because it has grown to be a menace on society, and needed to be removed to protect their health, and also public property. We wish it was that easy for the US to follow suit.

We love our job, so we try and try again to use our creative hobbies for running small events. Hopefully we'll get to do something bigger this year. No, not the mini-con during the Siege of Malbork fair. That one is already set in stone. Something that happens on a regular basis.

The response to the latest video has been lovely. The comments, aside from literally only 2-3 hateful ones out of hundreds, have been thoughtful, considerate, and insightful even when they disagree me.

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, (...)" is a very fitting verse to describe the whole trumpian propaganda machine. And any fascist disinformation, since as we can now tell by looking at the shambling corpse of goebbelsian narrative looming at the keyboard of the US regime.

The "Heritage American" thing is both the natural conclusion of the volkish push AND extremely funny because it's a vanishingly small group of people that excludes most of the right's strongest soldiers
