: I know that "Mutual Aid" is the popular buzzword now. But it still has to be viewed in the context of Capitalism; under which it exists. If it's not part of an overall program to destroy Capitalism, it's just repackaged "charity"; no matter what you call it! #YouPlayTooMuch 🚫
: Recommend reading...
: Far too many Activists are using "Mutual Aid" as a loop-hole for Personal Gain; and the Oppressed are cheerleading the effort(s). We can't be this silly all of our lives! 🤦🏾♂️
: "Mutual Aid" under continued Capitalist exploitation is placing a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. The "Mutual Aid" still has to be used within the confines of Capitalism. No independent anti-Capitalist Economic Infrastructure is being built from most "Mutual Aid" efforts!
: You say "Mutual Aid" to me, and I'm looking for a resource pool held by an accountability Team or Board to review each case & ensure that the needs are being met. When I see a Lone Ranger putting up his or her personal CashApp for "Mutual Aid," my antenna go up! 🚩
: In this age of Capitalist exploitation and scamming for personal enrichment, we should be doing everything possible to put the Oppressed at ease; so that our efforts [& we may have great intentions] don't get called into question because we appear to be on a money-grab! 🤔

: The ICC is trying to play both sides of the situation. Issuing an arrest warrant for Hamas leaders [Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, & Ismail Haniyeh] who aren't now (neither were they previously) engaged in genocide attempts to place Zionists & the resistance on equal footing! 🤦🏾♂️
: The ICC's chief prosecutor Karim Khan is still claiming that Zionist Israel "has a right to take action to defend its population." The Hamas leaders are wanted for "extermination, sexual assault, torture, etc." (of which there's no solid evidence)! 🤦🏾♂️
: The ICC can never be taken seriously. The Hamas leaders & supporters are legally - according to the illusory "International Law" - allowed to do whatever is necessary to resist occupying forces. All of this is a joke! 🤡
: "...If a White man wants to be your ally, what does he think of John Brown? You know what John Brown did? He went to war. He was a White man who went to war against White people to help free slaves! [MALCOLM X]"
: "John Brown wasn’t nonviolent... Go read the history, go read what all of them say about John Brown. They’re trying to make it look like he was a nut, a fanatic... But they depict him in this image because he was willing to shed blood to free the slaves! [MALCOLM X]"
: "[And] any White man who is ready and willing to shed blood for your freedom in the sight of other whites, he’s nuts... So if we need white allies in this country, we don’t need the kind who compromise! [MALCOLM X]"
