I am at risk of being sent to a camp because my brain works a little differently than others. Being on the left isn’t going to help.
Our friends and colleagues are being deported and jailed just for having anti-Zionist opinions and daring to express them.
Right wing violence is Surging. Our Trans comrades are in increasing danger. We are all having our rights stripped away…
…and the largest new thread is another fucking anarchist beefing with MLs.
What is it going to take for us to work together and fight a common enemy? Anarchists are not my enemies. I don’t care which series of 200 year old books you have or have not read, and you shouldn’t care either.
You know who ARE my enemies? Those old white people who go to Republican party meetings and plot to deport my neighbors and throw me into a “wellness” camp because they’re too much of cowards to handle anyone different than them.
I’m sick of all this endless infighting! Can we all just, IDK, organize to shut down some local GOP meetings, or create some Socialism 101 agit prop, or do anything productive? Or is this what the left does, just endlessly bicker over books online?
Get outside, touch grass, and accept the person next to you no matter what kind of left they claim to be. We’re not big enough for this and I really need you to organize because I like living outside of a DHS cage.
When my city participated in this nationwide anti-Trump protest a couple weeks ago someone posted on Lex about how superior they were to the liberals out protesting, because they were doing “actual liberatory work” (I hate that haughty fucking language these people use).
Then a couple years ago when the Dobbs decision leaked these same people cared more about “swooping” the PSL-organized march, or stayed home and acted so high and mighty on Twitter (not to mention, straight up harassing me online because I asked for sources/details about the allegations of misconduct levied at PSL, which had always been spoken of in an incredibly vague manner).
It’s almost like they thrive off right wing authoritarianism. During the Biden admin it was almost like a joke how these same people calling for le guillotine xD would suddenly become so quiet, except when they needed to maintain the image of being against empire, irrespective of party control. Reminds me of Cato the Elder, ending every sentence with CARTAGO DELANDA EST. Oh I had fun going to the beach today, but also fuck Joe Biden xD.
In my city it almost feels like the “activist community” knowingly helped re-elect a spineless soft chud mayor back in 2020 just so they could keep bullying him and sell “[Mayor] is a poopy head” tees.
