the new twitter retweet functionality is incredibly annoying and totally unnecessary lol
if you didn't update the app it's still the old way. but on web app and updated app version it's the new cringe way
instead of there being a popup where you can choose to rt or quote rt, it goes straight to the quote rt window. there you can choose to quote rt without any comment so it retweets normally.
they might've chosen this design to simplify the process. but, considering 90% of rt are normal retweets, the unnecessary calories consuming upward movement of our thumbs frustrates us first world ppl too much

how it started how it's going
just replace the king with politicians, add celebrities/entertainment/corporate media & self-help gurus to the priests, and replace the gendarmerie with the police, and you have today's pyramid. same shit
to be fair, there needs to be a level below the businessmen for the bourgeois politicians

notice the neoliberal paradigm being used against you every fucking time: just switch jobs, just work harder, just use public transport, just don't order from amazon, etc. this is incredibly shortsighted and ignores any effective solution for just about everything
you should all keep doing these things if it's possible/convenient for you of course, they help. but the trick here is to put the blame on the working class, deflecting from the necessary systemic changes,which protect the profits&interests of large corporations & their investors
there are massive amounts of money to be lost for power structures if they are scrutinized,that's why it's in the interests of lobbyists to push politicians so the working class takes the burden,that's true for the financial crisis, climate change, healthcare,&just abt everywhere

one thing the left needs to learn: when i criticize you, i'm not necessarily canceling you. every important issue is highly complex and requires lots of constructive feedback. if you never want to be criticized, just don't bother with accomplishing big things.
is most critique on social media in bad faith and not constructive? yes. is there a bad way and a bad time to criticize smth? yes. but we need to stop acting as if we've already figured everything out. our causes are too big and important to not srsly engage with them
if i ever say stupid shit, or stuff that is not entirely correct, i want people to call it out, criticize me in a respectful way. not even the greatest genius in the word has everything figured out.

where were you when you had the chance to argue for bernie and the green new deal?
this was an enormous opportunity she missed out on, even the green new deal is too slow considering what we need to do to prevent the climate catastrophe.
but because people said she represents a movement beyond party politics (which is a bizarre argument), i cut her some slack (which i shouldn't have, cause it's about the fucking planet). but now, out of all possible timings, she decides to chime in for the war and fracking guy
