I really think people don't understand the sheer magnitude of the uprising last year. There were riots in fucking NAPERVILLE. NAPERVILLE!!!!!!! A suburb with a median income of $109,512 a year that's 72% white with a Black population of 5%.

There were riots from the bougiest suburb to the fucking Loop. THEY LOOTED THE MAGNIFICENT MILE. Cops used tear gas in Chicago for the first time since the fucking DNC National Convention in 1968. There hasn't been anything like it since the Holy

Week uprising and that only lasted 1 week. People are literally still fighting the cops in the street to this day. This is probably the most significant event in American politics since at the very least 2008 and maybe 9/11

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Yeah it's really hard to get people not from Chicagoland to understand how incredible this was

1. Today is the 96th anniversary of maybe the most important single day in the history of the Chinese workers movement: May 30th, 1925. Protests erupted in Shanghai in mid May after a Japanese factory foreman murdered a well known Chinese labor

3. they'd been unjustly arrested. The British colonial police opened fire into the crowd instead, killing men, women, and children alike. By the end of the massacre 10 protesters were dead in the streets and 50 others had been wounded.

I don't think people understand this the consequence of Starlink is that there's now like another 10-15% of the day where YOU CANNOT DO ASTRONOMY

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Like the amount of time in the day where you can do observations is already pretty small EVEN WHEN THERE'S NO RAIN OR CLOUDS and this bullshit is reducing the amount of time you have. And again this is just the beginning, the more of these

One thing that's really important to understand about the "Asian American success story" bullshit even before you get to the IQ quackery is that the Asian American communities that experienced violence even remotely similar to what Black people

experienced POST-SLAVERY were so utterly and completely destroyed that the only signs they ever existed are Buddhist temples in the middle of all white areas of California. Almost no one even remembers the Asian Americans who got pogromed in the

1800's because they were so totally annihilated, they just talk about the post-50's "success" stories. You can not compare Black and Asian people in the US if you aren't looking at the relative levels of violence experienced in different periods.

It's fucking wild to me that the text everyone points to when they want to talk about racial politics in ultra-left circles is Settlers, a book written by a fucking Asian dude and full of demonstrable lies when he ran into something inconvenient

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
(like the section on the IWW) and not literally anything written by Indigenous theorists about it (other than the occasional passing reference to Decolonization is not a Metaphor)

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
So apparently right wing Asian Twitter found this or some shit and now MLMs are yelling slurs at me for saying that Black and Indigenous theorists have written better stuff about colonialism and racism in the workers movement than Asian Americans?

1. The "COVID came from a Wuhan lab" conspiracy is a bunch of extremely dangerous bullshit that's been catapulted from from Alex Jones shit into the political mainstream by the right liberal contrarian crowd because their job is to repackage

2. right wing conspiracies and feed them to the mainstream. We literally had this exact same shit when the pandemic began and Trump and Bannon started pushing it in their attempt to solidify their base through anti-Asian racism. And the scientific
