#Leftists are puzzled when I say they don't live in reality as they claim both sides are the same. Anyone living in America today knows that's not true, whether it's the #Trump tax cuts for the rich, masked agents kidnapping people, cuts to Medicaid and nutritional assistance, etc...

They claim #Biden didn't do anything, when he was one of the most accomplished presidents in history. Are they just stupid?

Yeah I posted this to the Nazi app first

Maybe I need to prove #leftists know how to have fun?

It's still being cultured even if it's about kidnapping and training wild animals 😂

#Counterterrorism Czar’s Blueprint Targets #Leftists , Ignores Far-Right #Violence and Heaps Praise on #Trump

The finished product, released May 6 after months of delays, is a 16-page, typo-sprinkled document that ranks threats based on #politics rather than intelligence assessments, according to several current and former counterterrorism officials and threat analysts

Counterterrorism Czar’s Blueprint Targets Leftists, Ignores Far-Right Violence and Heaps Praise on Trump

Sebastian Gorka’s anti-terror plan makes no mention of long-established threats posed by far-right militants and instead villainizes the president’s political enemies. “This administration is not paying attention to the data,” one expert said.

#Leftists are often called hypocrites for calling for extrainstitutional ends while living an intrainstitutional life. We've all seen the stupid memes. But these institutions are forced on us, to operate outside of them is often illegal or highly impractical.

I despise when new #leftists say #voting won't change anything!

Well, yeah!, not overnight. Voting is one tool in a toolbox (and #civilian action is not a "When all you have is a hammer," situation).

(What follows pertains to the #USA:)

We can #vote #thirdparty and #advocate for others to do the same.

For every presidential #election cycle in which a party receives at least 5% of the vote, that party then receives funding from a presidential fund checkoff ($3 at #tax time from the federal government, NOT your pocket); the funds are proportional to their share of the vote.

If we rally around third parties and check that box at tax time, we can divert a lot of money from the BIG TWO into MANY third parties.

Those third parties can then compete with the current big two on more equal financial footing.

Our votes can fund viable third parties that focus on things OTHER THAN capitalist concerns, because our votes will have taken away the need to secure funding for their #campaign across the nation.

Trump’s coercive tactics in Latin America evoke era of gunboat diplomacy – and the rise of anti-imperialism it helped spur

The interwar years in Latin America saw a remarkable flourishing of left-wing political thought aiming to challenge US dominance. That could offer lessons for today.

Hello all. I have a word.

Jim Crow is back, thanks to #scrotus. So now that he's back I'm gonna say something that needs to be said.

#leftists in the united states, have a huge #racism problem that they are not addressing. From what happened in the Texas primary with #jasminecrockett, to white people complaining about black people not showing up to #nokings protests (knowing full well that the they didnt cause this and will become cannon fodder if they show up to a protest) along with not supporting #kamalaharris in 2024 while fully knowing the consequences of not doing so.

I mean they were more willing to accept a dude with a Nazi tattoo (though graham platner has actually at least addressed it, so it could be worse) than two #qualified #blackwomen.

I'm a white man, I have a lot of unlearning to do as well, and I am on the journey, but a few things Ive learned and you should learn two.

1. Any black person had to work twice as hard as you to get to where you are, even if they had more money.

2. You are not the center of the universe, sit back and listen to black people and maybe you can learn something.

3. White supremacy keeps you ignorant and obedient to people who hate you. Look up "The Psychological Wage of Whiteness" to understand what that means.

4. Blaming black people will not make housing more affordable or groceries any cheaper.

&If the only thing you care about is #gaza, #aipac never supports #problack candidates, even if they're not anti-zion.

Flower Power — I Have Revisited the 60s

Many recognize and acknowledge

The enigma that he is

Knowing he is an enigma

Is not quite the same

As knowing what the enigma is

Some things are not menat to be understood

But merely loved, either from near

Or from afar

Do not try to probe

There is nothing underneath

That is the enigma

How things issue

From that emptiness

Where neither identity resides

Nor any residue of time

Spontaneity itself is charmed

By this enigmatic man

Who is not quite a man

Though walking around

Almost aimlessly

In the woman’s world

But still remaining

That guy in khakhi knickers

And of course sneakers

Which boy Brinda Karat

Addressed so endearingly

And the little comrade not yet 17

Remembers to this day

And that proved to him

Communists are the real deal

Throw in Che into the mix

And his world is complete

The compass has landed in his lap

And now he will not get lost

In our adult world

As he goes around

With his peculiar look

That sees right through to your bones

And can tell what is ailing you

This bloke called Samudrala

Vamshi Krishna, in whose name

Rama does not belong

As those girls he flirts with

Would testify

And I am slowly learning

To flirt with him myself

Though sometimes I get confused

Who is playing whom.

Why is Bluesky all #liberals? Why are there no proper #leftists? It’s painful to browse through.
