'i am no man' Charlotte Eowyn!1d ago

I would like to apologize to every Black leftist that ever fucking told me this country needed a revolution not a reformation.

It's been a few years since I thought that we could fix it, but...HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

If we take one lesson from the genocide, from the threatening nuclear war, from the literal concentration camps:

No system which produces this can be tolerated. Period. At all. For any reason. It can only be destroyed.

I don't care if he's just blustering. I don't care.

Burn it all down.

I think it's reasonable to acknowledge *both* that sometimes an entire system needs to be taken down and restarted AND that it is easier to break things than to fix them.

Revolutions are extremely risky and should not be go-to responses. But a system can get so bad, it's more harmful than chaos.

We should still do our best to pull out the most broken parts rather than mindlessly tear it all apart in understandable frustration.

@wolftune @CharlotteEowyn It is not a simple matter to dismantle and yet over time look how effectively the EpsteinClass, MAGA, plutocracy, whatever you want to call it and it's all part of a single ethnonationalist authoritarian crusader order, has demolished the middle class in the retrospective blink of an eye, and the Dēmos - its intergenerational wealth & savings, its Society, security, sacred institutions including its public squares & campuses, virtually all its Public Goods in less than half a century. So, no: it is not easier to fix, otherwise it would be possible - likely, even - to bring democracy to the United States.

First, refuse to allow them without challenge to designate #rebellion as 'riot'. Brothers and sisters, I wanna tell you something: I hear a lot of talk by a lot of honkies sitting on a lot of money telling me they're high society. But I'll let you know something. If you ask me, this is the high society. This is the high society!

No. listening to a record is not a revolutionary act - not necessarily.
