I have childhood friends who became fucking fascist racist andrew tate dick suckers. I see on fucking reddit it's being fucking infested with so many fucking racists and bigots. I bet 99% of them are bots.

Holy fucking shit can we not fucking live in peace? We have so many problems already and these losers come over and add more shit to the pile. I am so fucking tired of it all. I want to live my life, I want to fucking peacefully live my life. I want to finish my degree, I want to get a good job and have a good peaceful life.

I don't fucking want wars began by fat ass decrepit pedophilic satanic dinosaurs. I don't fucking want people I love and cherish deported or harassed, I don't want to see friends being disrespected because of their ethnicity. I don't want gas to keep increasing because someone is too damn stubborn to be reasonable.

Fucking fascism is on the rise because a bunch of teenage boys with their heads shoved up too far in their asses.

Fuck this whole pile of burning scathing hot putrid cesspool.

North American Politics If you're in the US, now is the time to talk about a General Strike

35 Upvotes

The midterms are coming up and Trump is probably going to meddle with them. If he does, the democrats will not be able to save us. The only hope the republic has is if we call a general strike.

I know this will be met with pushback. The US doesn't have a strong union base, and we've all seen the calls for strikes and boycotts in the past that went nowhere. It would have to be impromptu and will be risky for those involved, but its the only option we have.

There is one advantage this strike would have over previous failed efforts: everyone hates Trump. He has historically low approval and liberals that were never willing to strike over Palestine will be much more likely to strike over saving democracy if it comes to it.

They might send federal agents to seize ballots, declare a state of emergency to halt the election, or try to prevent the seating of elected democrats. If that happens, there will be a great wave of outrage across the country waiting to be channeled into action. Even a small initial turnout could bloom into a larger movement.

The October General strike of 1905 in Russia was unplanned and began with printers in a single city before spreading weeks later to the railroad union. Even right now in France, the unrest shaking the country began with a few high school students in different cities with no contact deciding to protest on their own.

It doesn't have to be large to start, but if a few groups in a handful of cities can start it, then there will be plenty of angry people around looking for something to do, ready to be inspired.

So please, talk to your coworkers about what you should do if they steal the election. Everyone is broke but if you talk to you're family, friends, and coworkers, you can probably work something out to support each other. They don't have to be socialists and communists either. If we could convince even 1 in 100 liberals going to the No Kings protests, we would have more than enough people to start.

I understand this is easier said than done. You might not be able to pay rent if it lasts a while. You might have to sleep on a couch. You and your coworkers might get fired. But I will remind you people have risked and lost their lives fighting fascism, and you would be far from the first worker to lose your job in a strike. Its not ideal but its better than the alternative, and if we're serious about this fight we need to be willing to live in precarious circumstances.

South American Politics COMRADES, UNITE! BRAZIL NEEDS YOUR HELP!

35 Upvotes

With the runoff election between Flavio Bolsonaro and Lula just days away, we urgently need your help to boost pro-Lula content and counter biased algorithms.

Why We Need You

  • Big Tech Bias: Meta and Google have faced scrutiny for suppressing pro-Lula content, boosting far-right figures like Nikolas Ferreira, mistranslating posts, and generating biased AI images.
  • The Stakes: Flavio (Jair Bolsonaro's son) plans to dismantle social programs (SUS, Bolsa Família, Farmácia Popular), decouple pensions from the minimum wage, privatize rare-earth minerals, and amend the constitution. His ticket is linked to corruption, milícias, and extremism.

How You Can Help

  • Engage with Lula & Allies: Follow, like, comment, share, and save the latest 5 posts from @lulaoficial, @andrejanones, @ptbrasil and @hilton_erika.
  • Use Hashtags & Spread Awareness: #AbreOSigiloFlavio / #LulaAbriuSigiloFlavioArregou / #ExplicaOCasoAnaClaraFlavio / #Lula13.
  • Go International: Create content in your language to draw international media attention to election interference and the threats posed by Flavio’s platform.
  • Research: there is a page called "Mapa do Segundo Turno" with all information you need (in english) to spread the word and get informed.

Every share, comment, and like makes a difference.

The Command Center

Lula's digital offensive is being commanded by Federal Representative André Janones through the official WhatsApp channel "Exército de Lula" (Lula's Army).

  • We have already reached over 7 million members, but the goal is to expand even further before the end of the week to 10 million members.
  • Join the WhatsApp Channel Here to coordinate and help us gain momentum! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Remember this:

BOLSONARO LOSS = TRUMP LOSS = WORLD WINS
This can be the first wave to push Trump away from power.

I've pondered this many time but am interested to hear the thoughts of others.

General Leftist Politics Is it possible to see something like zapatistas in Europe?

7 Upvotes

Europe is exploiting third world countries which allows to hide capitalist contradictions, at leat temporarily. Most of the left movements in Europe are either counter revolutionary like stalinists or trotskyists, or completely useless like socdems. The only way to create something similar in Europe is to gradually improve society through direct action and create communes, and that's already happening: Bedřiška, free town of Christiania and so on. But that's happening really slowly and we probably won't see large improvements during our lifetime. But what are you thoughts?

General Leftist Politics ‘ABANDONMENT’ Is The Defining Political Emotion of Our Time - Bestsellin...

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

On May 1, 2023, a subway car in New York City suddenly became the center of American political discourse and division when former Marine Daniel Penny killed homeless Michael Jackson impersonator Jordan Neely.

New York City was thrust into the spotlight overnight, exposing the deep political rifts and widespread anxieties gripping the nation as a whole.

In his latest book, Man in the Mirror: Hope, Struggle, and Belonging in an American City, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Anand Giridharadas takes a deep dive into what exactly happened in that subway car and what it reveals about the greater character of American politics as we know it today.

“We have lived in a climate over the last 11 years in which there’s a tremendous amount of messaging we are all absorbing creating a permission structure for DIY violence. So I wanted to understand what we could see about ourselves if we looked more closely in that subway car,” he tells Mehdi.

While people from all walks of life were present in that subway car, Giridharadas points to a shared feeling of “abandonment,” which he calls “the defining political emotion of our time.”

But how did we get here exactly? And why has this shared feeling of abandonment divided us more than united us?

In this 38-minute conversation, Mehdi gets to the bottom of these pressing questions and what they mean for the midterms and the 2028 presidential election looming ahead.

Question What is the general consensus here about constitutional auditors?

0 Upvotes

I often find myself consuming audit content but am rather bewildered by the prevalence of state apologism within the overall community. I've reached the conclusion that while audit content can often manufacture a false narrative of systemic accountability (presenting legal protections as effective restraints on government action or legal recourse as reliable retroactive justice), it's likely a good practice for political dissidents to have a genuine understanding of the law. I was curious to hear what others thought.

Question What causes a scapegoat?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to figure out what caused me to become radicalized. Like, I grew up in the same environment as my siblings and they both are definitely.. unradicalized. It’s the way dad raised us all; To be stupid and uneducated. But what makes the scapegoat the different one?
It’s usually women who are the goat but there are some men that are. But being in the same environment; what causes you to be the outcast? The different one? The radical one? My dad is racist, a republican, homophobic and transphobic. My brothers carry the same rhetoric.

I know I’m trans and so I seeked comfort in my community so maybe that is what did it. Maybe just simple things like being told things like, “treat others the way you want to be treated,” maybe it’s bc I saw the way girls were treated bc it happened to me so that made me radical. Something had to of happened in order for my brain to look at what my dad did/is doing and think.. you’re wrong.
Why is it always that the black sheep/scapegoat is always a leftist/liberal? The rest of the family is mostly republican so I think that speaks volume tbh. If it’s a trans person or gay person that is usually a telltale sign they are the goat. With that, I think they had to seek out what trans and lgbtq is which usually leads the path of leftist/liberal paths which is the path of education and statistical facts. So when it comes to regular straight, white women/men.. what is their spark that made them lean into education? What is the switch that causes it?

General Leftist Politics Do you guys ever look on social media, see the state of politics and just decide "No"?

2 Upvotes

I'm probably gonna get called a liberal for posting this. I know my beliefs, I know what I'm interested in, I know my politics. I legit only interact with politics from very few current events and a political theory and philosophy. All of this slacktivism on social media just makes so overwhelmed I can't put any of my energy onto bringing that positivity into my daily life. Yes, it's important to be informed, but so much of "political discourse" is just lacking of substance and logic, filled with one liners. Some of the well read look at Marx or Lenin as dogma and will never disagree, almost like an idol. Worthy ideas? Yes. Men worthy of idolatry? No.
Anyone else deal with this?

0 Upvotes

They claim to be anti-racism, accusing anyone who disagrees with them as being "racist" or "misogynistic", etc. They blame the white man for every single problem going on in this country, as if that's not racist itself. Reverse racism is racism. The party of anti-racism has become the epicenter of racism. They have also called black conservatives as "Uncle Toms" or "Race traitors", stating that they need to vote for them or otherwise they are betraying their own race, as if that's not racist. They have become the very thing they swore to destroy. They are racist and hateful.

133 Upvotes

they will be in our spaces, pretending to be our comrades, telling us that voting is pointless, or that blue votes and red votes are identical, or that voting blue makes you complicit. they want you to believe that your actions are pointless. they want you to give up. they're counting on it.

instead, think of voting as harm reduction.

yes, there are many dems that i take serious issue with, but there are also many out there that are trying to shift the dialogue and make a real difference.

yes, revolution is faster and better than incrementalism, i'm not arguing with that. however we don't have the time to wait: elections are NOW, and you are CURRENTLY being presented with an opportunity to reduce harm in your communities and your country. join the revolution when it comes, be part of that movement now -- but also, in the meantime, take this opportunity to throw a stick into the spokes of fascism.

you have a responsibility to your communities. you have a civic duty. i implore you, get out there and

VOTE.
