  • I an almost done with chapter 2 and I don't even know what to say for discussion. He's right. Everything he says is incisive and insightful, piercing through the veil of genocidal colonial propaganda and cutting to the roots of the atrocities. I can't pick any quote out because everything is so important. I'm marking the paper copy and underlining half of most pages.

    And it's truly overwhelming. Refreshing to see someone speaking the truth without tiptoeing around Zionist respectability politics. And also so sad.

  • What I went through was bad but not as bad as what you must have.

    I remember telling friends in college who asked "hey we talk about our childhoods and you don't, why's that?" and then having them look absolutely shellshocked while I calmly gave a synopsis.

    So yes, privileged white people, and sadly not just the boomers and gen xers

  • chants in support of a terrorist organization have no place in our city.

    Oh so words supporting a group that resists genocide are banned but organizations and activities that materially support a mass-murdering terrorist organization that's guilty of genocide (i⚡︎⚡︎ntreal) aren't banned.  Makes sense.

    I condemn Zohran

  • Why would I pay to miss out on quality content?

  • Incredibly based. I did a little dance inside whenever I saw an AmeriKKKan soldier's coffin. "Didn't want to die? Shouldn't have signed up for an obviously unjust war"

  • Supposed to be starting in 2 minutes!

  • You may say an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, I say then don't take my eye then.

  • It is good for the economy. The first world benefits economically immensely from destabilizing the third world. It's evil

  • i think we've all collectively just gotta stop giving these dumb Breadtube fucks the attention they crave. My quality of life is vastly improved anytime I haven't recently thought about any dumbass cracker Breadtuber. This goes for 99% of them and I'll even lump in streamers (Hasan), social media personalities (pick your favorite 'leftist' on twitter or tiktok), and every substack author in with them.

    She's on my Cask of Amontillado list.

  • Was it El Mozote? Because I read about that in 2019 in an Intercept article and it still haunts me. The Reagan admin belongs in Hell, because it would take an eternity of torture to pay for what evil and sadism they committed.

  • Long ago I lurked /r/childfree because I wanted support against family pressure to have kids.  I stopped because I felt like the place was injecting poison into my heart and trying to make me full of hatred for kids and people who have them, which when I took a step back just looked really nonsensical?

    It felt like a lot of people acting like they are the most oppressed group of people on the earth.

  • Every child's first words should be "Death to America. Unlimited blowback on the first world."

    Incredibly based

  • Yes.

    And also, it was a white guy who taught me about institutional racism early in college when I parroted a reactionary talking point my mom had made about affirmative action.  He just told me to look it up and that I'd find it interesting, and then I did and had a little emotional breakdown sitting at my computer as so many tragedies and injustices and atrocities I hadn't been able to explain or connect clicked into place as all part of one evil system.

  • I'm glad we're doing 1 chapter a week because everything is so heartbreaking it wrecks me and I need to take a break.  I could read a fiction book this size in a day or 2.  I think it's going to take me pushing to do 1 chapter a week of this one at this rate

  • I missed that thread. Was it on Hexbear? Do you have a link?

    One can be for NATO, or be a leftist, but only one or the other. They are mutually exclusive.

  • Sounds fantastic, I will also miss.  I just watched A Blorpy New Year.  @Camden28@hexbear.net thank you for the wisdom and perspective, intergenerational solidarity is so so so precious.  @Erika3sis@hexbear.net I started cheering at your line about lies and truth (won't quote so as not to spoil it).  Thank you for making this, it was really special.  Thank you to all the blorpers, you've all been so wonderful

    AND WE GET A BONUS ANTHEM MONTAGE AT THE END!!!!!

  • Adding this to my lexicon of increasingly terminally absurdist language. I love that!

  • Because people keep jumping down the throats of anyone who points out that Frieren does traffic so heavily in fascist tropes that some of us actually felt too uncomfortable with it to bother consuming more of it.  Better to ask, "why do people keep starting struggle sessions with people for being bothered by bioessentislist ontological evil as a fantasy trope?"

    I am less interested in fantasy as a genre nowadays because this shit was getting old 20 years ago.

  • Good points. I honestly just hadn't made the switch in my head because I never really used Twitter or X

  • Fucking Frieren again, of course.

    I know there's an idea of "contest every space, fight for what's ours, don't let the nazis have anything fun" but we should just let them have Frieren and not try to salvage anything from that story. This is so disgusting.
