We have a duty to fight for our freedom. We have a duty to win.

  • Are you being antisemetic?

  • Yeah, there have. I saw one person get up voted for saying that decolonizing Palestine required ethnic cleansing. I saw another say that Jews need to "pack up and leave" Israel. Both upvoted. It's not the mainstream but it's out there.

    More common though is vague language that probably applies to settlers / likud or whoever but could reasonably be interpreted to mean "jews" by someone not on the same page as the hexbear mainstream.

  • There's lots of Marxists in the American tradition who might be less scary I'm roads and will hit on more familiar themes for an anarchist.

    Willima Z. Foster and George Jackson might be good in-roads.

  • I remember being a kid and going to a simulated work field trip and when they were asking who wanted to be CEO I was the only one who raised their hand because it sounded boring.

    I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do, except that I could get loans and that I wouldn't really have to pay them back since it was a one day trip. So I got a few loans, bought everyone pizza and then left my business insolvent.

    I asserted to an adult that the simulation wasn't like real life and the adult was just like "well...."

  • They are some of the most overworked and underpaid workers in developed nations

    Respectfully, we're overworke, but this job makes 20k more than the canvassing and retail I did in college. We're only underpaid compared to other workers with masters' degrees.

    You're on the money about garbage curriculum though.

    That said, that shouldn't excuse us any more than cops should be excused for doing their jobs.

    If you're Marxist about it, being a worker makes us powerful when we're fighting against our conditions as workers, not when we're laboring for the boss. Teaching is not progressive in the American school system.

  • Putting essays in novels gets them to people who might not otherwise read them. For example, I don't read a lot of fiction, and Donna Haraway tricked me into reading speculative fiction by burying it in Staying with the Trouble
