leftist unity is vital at this moment btw. we might not agree on everything but we can agree that this is terrible and atrocious and the governments of the west are complicit. communists and socialists and anarchists of all varieties need to stand together in solidarity with the people of palestine. we are powerful together, and strength in numbers is essential right now. free palestine, forever and always, until the occupation has ended and palestinians have full self-determination and autonomy.
??? frev enjoyers & napoleonic era enjoyers have beef ???
i thought we were brothers in arms why is everyone mad at each other what is going on help
I'd say probably because on an ideological level the historical politics of the two periods are fundamentally incompatible in a lot of ways? obv that's assuming the beef is political in nature and not that there's other drama tho
i really desperately need people to stop making jokes about brain damage. i thought we cared about disabled people, or at least that people pretended to still.
brain damage does not make you stupid, or a conservative, or a reactionary, or any number of things people love to make jokes about. don't use a group of people who rarely get any visibility or representation whatsoever as a bludgeon against people you don't like, this is basic leftism people
Let me preface this with saying that this is not uncritical praise of the USSR but rather observation of a general phenomenon in how people view history because I know what website I'm on but it is sooo fucking weird to me how many liberals seem fully okay with siding with thee hitler as long as they're against the soviet union. "ohh evil stalin killed so many poor defenceless german soldiers in WWII communism is so awful" YOU MEAN THE ARMY OF NAZI GERMANY?
"Stalin killed so many people in the opposing army in WWII because he was willing to do anything to win 👎" ok sorry but I personally do think that doing everything in your power to win against fascism is actually a good and noble thing and the fact that THIS is the specific thing you're choosing to criticise about stalin out of everything controversial about him is. well. really interesting!
can you explain the ai thing to me as though I were a small child I am in fact very stupid and don't understand what the point being made was supposed to be
the point i am trying to make it that ai is fundamentally a labor issue (and just more broadly a capitalism issue) and should be treated as such, any attempts at trying to classify what makes something "not real art" is a slippery slope leading towards fascism and fundamentally irrelevant in the fight against unethical (uses of) AI. the same goes for any attempts at just making copyright laws more strict, this has never helped any independent artists and never will, at best it'll make any sort of derivative art (including fanart, remixes, collages, etc) basically impossible to do unless you're a massive corporation with an unlimited legal budget.
Tired of the US’s constant pattern of going “Israel is being BAD!!!” but falling short of actually imposing any sanctions that would actually curtail the absolute destruction they’ve wrought over such a short amount of time
“The White House condemns Israel attacking aid workers” ok so what are you gonna do about “Biden has been warning Israel against a Rafah invasion” okay so what are you gonna do about it “US report says that using US weapons to attack civilians is a breach of international law!!!!” ok so what are you gonna do about it

hello jon. apologies for the deception, but I wanted to make sure you started reading, so I thought it best not to announce myself.
this is what I try to explain when people ask why I seem to "seek out" diagnoses. with a diagnosis I've found my success rate with getting symptom-related accommodations is about 50/50. without one, it's pretty much zero.
Concentration camp.
They built a concentration camp.
I don't think words can describe what this other than genocide.
Adding this thread of information on twitter, don't let them hide this
for anyone else who cant open the thread, here's the cnn link. this is one of the most disturbing things i've read in a long time. a lot of what's written here is heavily reminiscent of firsthand accounts of nazi concentration camps and i'm not being hyperbolic in the slightest when i say that
on May 11th 2022 Shireen Abu Akleh was shot by IOF while reporting from Jinin.

For the love of god DO NOT GO IN SOMEONE'S INBOX WITH A REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. Don't! There are a ton of spambots on this site with scamming tendencies, you'll get ignored or reported if you do that, just don't do it!
Holy shit. The Israeli whistleblower story CNN just broke is insane. I cannot believe what I’m reading
Rare firsthand accounts by Israeli whistleblowers cast light on the horrific conditions in the Sde Teiman torture camp in Naqab Desert. Palestinians are stripped down, blindfolded, forced in diapers, and forbidden from speaking. They are subjected to beatings and mental degradation regularly. So much depravity that has gone unseen. Doctors performing procedures outside of their expertise, amputations due to zip-typing of abductees’ wrists, having large dogs unleashed on them at night. Being fed food through straws. I can’t believe it. I am truly in shock. And this is just one whistleblower accounting of this. Who knows what else is happening beyond our knowledge
My heart is breaking into a million pieces
Worth mentioning that multiple Palestinians have recounted these stories before, as direct victims detailing their experiences. What's unique about these accounts from CNN Israeli whistle-blower is that they're from an Israeli, therefore people are more likely to take this seriously.
