Well, I'm glad that at least the normies and wine moms got to get out and picnic for a day yesterday. There's that.

The real problem are the 50501 paid bot/shill accounts, and the terminally online 50501 gooners who refuse to accept the fact that the org they're simping for is bad 1/

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

Let me be less vague. For a certain type of person:

1) It's safer to argue with Black people than to actually confront white supremacy.

2) It's incredibly threatening to consider that the world might be how Black people say it is rather than what you've always been taught.

Even if you don't subscribe to the idea that Black people probably know more than you do about what's happening, why is this how you choose to spend your time? What happens inside your body when you "win" these arguments? Think about it.

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · 17h

White people trying to win arguments with Black people on race already lost the plot. Defer to the authorities!

My dream would be for the American people to realize that both parties are absolute GARBAGE and begin to organize an entire opposition AND society outside of them.

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

I'm going to use the zombie analogy again:

If you want us to survive the apocalypse -

1) we can't let people in the safe house who WANT to open the door to the zombies

2) the person who arbitrarily says we need to give up some of us to save the others also can't stay in the safehouse.

If one truly wants to see how far down the road of totalitarianism we have already gone, just scroll the Dep't of Homeland Security's Facebook page. It is the most Orwellian stuff I have ever seen, never thought I would see in America.

He would think a bunch if old people and wine moms standing around waving signs would be hateful 🤦

If he thinks that's bad, wait til he meets actual socialists and anarchists. Lmfao

Ohh, okay. Well, maybe when they see us all banding together, they'll come around

If not, don't worry about it. Not everyone will change and that's okay

"Treatment at the Guantanamo spa"? JFC

Everybody else getting armed and freeing them, which is exactly what we sane people have been trying to tell you since the election

You just don't want anyone to do that because you don't actually care about solving the problem and you certainly won't humble yourself and admit your values are wrong

starmendeluxe.bsky.social @starmendeluxe.bsky.social · 11h

You don't get to say "Well we're the only game in town so you better shut the fuck up and get in line" because WE WON'T.

And you're NOT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP ANYONE

And until you stop, we won't stop

starmendeluxe.bsky.social @starmendeluxe.bsky.social · 11h

Indeed it is because it's the only way you listen and start doing things that actually will stop the tyranny, like hiding migrants, or physically intervening when ICE tries to kidnap people, or building mutual aid groups to stop the economic crash.

Oh, and to STOP helping No Kings, the scam org

America was never a “land of the free”.

The “home of the brave” can only refer to its native tribes.

A “melting pot” was a useful image.

The USA has always been savage.

*had to say. Fucking Bluesky is garbage for not letting us edit our posts

starmendeluxe.bsky.social @starmendeluxe.bsky.social · 12h

Let me try and get a screenshot, give me a minute

starmendeluxe.bsky.social @starmendeluxe.bsky.social · 13h

Because there is no irony. People like this are just pieces of shit defending the shit piles that are bilking and exploiting our innocent neighbors.

"Well we're the only game in town so you have no right to criticize us and have to let us do whatever we want" is NOT an argument

50501 didn't tank Tesla profits nor did it organize the anti-Tesla boycotts. People did that all on their own
