"invading countries and m*rdering brown people is lgbtq activism 🏳️🌈"
who's gonna tell them that there are human beings living in the middle east, many amongst them lgbtq+ people
wow, just wow
this is your brain on western imperialism, you justify it for the slightest of seemingly good intentions. you just need to be given one miniscule, poor excuse, and you're on board. the way that person speaks about "middle eastern lives" is pure islamophobia, plain and simple
this is your brain on bill maher, sam harris, douglas murray, maajid nawaz, and co
holy shit it's getting worse and worse

i am the first person to say "don't give up", or "never lose hope", but it still needs to be said that class conflict is not child's play, the ruling class and their PR are far more powerful and intricate than we can imagine, we have to be both relentless AND smart
they have access to trillions of funding, while we have crumbs. they can convert the working class to their ideology, and there is not a lot we can do about it, at least it is not easy at all.
while it is true that in the long run, truth and moral principles prevail, it is foolish to think that we'll be able to just wait and "other ppl" will figure stuff out. justice needs to be taken, fought for, suffered for. don't be a passive observer, YOU need to be a part of this
fascism is NOT beaten, the US is only taking a short-term painkiller with a bad taste.
as trump is losing this election, it is important to understand the seeds of fascism, which is neoliberalism. THREAD
it's not wrong to be happy about the defeat of a right-wing maniac, but don't be fooled, the dangers of nationalistic fascism are not over. more importantly, we are seeing a new type of fascism, a "globalized" fascism, which is less overt, more dishonest, adaptive & resilient
the power elites have predominantly coalesced around biden, and for good reasons. first of all, trump was a threat to the free flow of capital: the main concern of capitalists today is that their exploitation is unhindered by protectionist measures.
