  • My "source" on education being a tool of Hegemony is Micheal Foucault, not exactly a right-wing propagandist. The right has a tendency to take arguments from others and twist them to accomplish the opposite.

  • He's fucking Grok, isn't he?

  • Inviting them to have a seat at the table can send them into a tailspin. It's kind of funny how they pretend to be the adults in the room while doing so.

  • Cheney being a war criminal isn't a matter of opinion. Same goes for human rights.

  • Stuff like this reminds me why they lose to fascists. When they like to say the proto-fascists are practicing politics correctly it really waters down their message and what is at stake.

  • It's funny because I have the same tired feeling of dragging unimaginative people to a better future. But the good news is if you aren't against us then you are for us. There's room at the table for you.

  • It is silly to think we can't learn lessons on how Mamdani won because he hasn't exercised the office yet. This isn't about how you did that right thing and voted against fascism that one time. This is about winning power, and if that is too idealist for you then I don't know what else to say other than I'll see you on the campaign trail.

  • Sounds like something the CEO of Nestle would say.

    Education doesn't make people act independently, often to the contrary.

  • Historically, the goal of education was to have a productive labor force. And even if our education system was to teach independence, it cannot deliver the ability, that comes from economic and social liberation.

  • My point is that we haven't had good candidates as evidence by their losing. When we actually do have a good candidate that wins we are suddenly the idealists that aren't practical, as if winning power (in spite of both political establishments) is something other than an act of pragmatism.

  • I think that downplays how good of a candidate Mamdani was and how differently he ran his campaign. It also blinds us to new lessons.

  • As long as we're paying attention to those who can imagine a different future, then we're at the same table.

  • I think we overemphasize education and should talk more about people's ability to act and think independently.

  • There was also Carter using Taft-Hartley to shut down the coal strike.

  • What will the Democratic leadership learn from Mamdani's win?

  • It's not that the public forgot, but that leadership failed to offer an alternative other than "not Trump". When the Democrats do offer an alternative like Mamdani, people show up. And 80% of those that showed up voted for him, not against the other candidate. Not even Obama accomplished that.

  • Gotta blame the voters for having bad candidates. Mamdani has shown us that having a better candidate is a better strategy than whatever this is.

  • Gotta show up to the antifa meetings to hear those

  • Hmm, seems you're right and I need to find how better to handle triggers. Thanks for responding in a level headed manner.
