DJ PutlerWould you please be quiet? We're trying to enjoy the labor hours & productive capacity we denied/stole from the global south
I stole it from a based homeless person [xcancel.com/commsurreallism/status/ xcancel.com/Inhumansoflate1/] and lost the link 🙏 that’s why it’s actually good. Also, their Epstein files meltdown is a fascinating source of leads, despite some conjectures.

I’m sure everyone mentioned here wouldn’t consider it, but if anyone is standoffish to or QRTs them I will hunt you immediately
SoupBrickMore people are waking up with every evil thing this administration does.
Also the only metric that equals administration bad for some people is changing: Gas prices.
Cowbee [he/they]It isn’t a problem with the admin alone, but the system itself. Imperialism is what runs the US Empire, be it dem or rep admin.
Yeh, but you gotta take it one step at a time with people who think politics doesn’t affect them.
If you come at them too hard, they will get scared. I find it easier to point to the things the current admin is doing as an easy example of, “This is not ok.”
Yep, but you have to take it further too, connect the dots. Just showing the first dot won’t help when systemic change is the correct path, and that requires an all-encompassing view.
It also requires a person to change their worldview, which takes time. Don’t forget to give people grace while they are exploring their biases.
(I am aware that gaining political sentience is very late at this time, but better late than never)
Yep, just that you have to give them somewhere to go. Planting seeds isn’t enough, water and adequate sunlight need to be available and the soil has to be fertile.
Idk if this is OC or not but goddamn it’s on point and extremely relevant. Sometimes people forget the only reason the West can just get lost in consumerism and hedonism is because of the stolen resources and subjugation of people around the world. 🥲
A fuck ton of us are paycheck to paycheck looking for any outlet to soothe our broken minds and bodies. I really hate this generalist talk about the us right now when so many of us are prisoners, glorified indentured servants. I literally don’t know how I’m going to feed myself for a couple of weeks right now. I fear ice just because I’m brown, especially here in the south.
I had no say in this, I voted, I’ve protested, I’ve tried changing minds. Keep in mind that a large portion of us are the same.
This. Also relaxation, distraction and “hedonism” to a certain extent are necessary for people to resist at all. You cannot resist if you are completely burnt out from working, organizing and stressing about the current situation. After all we are human and our needs don’t always follow moral boundaries.
ordnance_qf_17_pounderHitler if he was born in Austria-Hungry
gotta tell ya, i’ve got some suspicions about that austria-hungary. what a “country” it was. gave the world hitler and the OG zionist, what was his name. herzl?
PolandIsAStateOfMindIt’s also not accidental that the banderites are consistently coming from territories that were in the A-H once, A-H supported Ukrainian nationalists so they would disrupt Poles organising with independence movements from other two partitions and who even managed to obstruct the A-H semblance of paliament.
i genuinely dont understand how mussolini wasnt born in at least some formerly austrian-held part of italy. but he wasnt. history glitched there.
For Mussolini it’s Papal States lmao
Bread and circuses
Aldous Huxley wrote a book about this in freaking 1932. Seriously, read the Brave New World
bootlegHuxley saw danger in nihilism and consumerism, then decided that Christianity — one of the most disgusting and life-hating ideologies in the history of humanity — was the solution.
Go read someone actually intellectually honest like Nietzsche instead:

Cooltag2267It looks like Wall-E.
Hitler’s ghost lives inside the Disney servers. Where do you think they got the idea?
The anti-woke crowd will love this lol
Dessalines5 star meme. Reminds me of this one too:
