I have a feeling it will be more mixed, honestly, but who can say. However mixed it might be, though, it won’t be clear-cut, and the media will have to dance around all the neutral and positive sentiment that results.

Pretty fucked.

This is like when I see libs online say things like “We need to get money out of politics!!” but it begs a question no one ever asks, which is “How?”. How do you get money out of a political system so deeply entrenched with lobbying at its core? Naturally, when pressed on the question, they fall back to “we just need to support progressive candidates, we have to be more ‘politically active’ and we have to educate people on the issues”. Yet, that what constituents want, and what results from our political system, never actually align at all.

I wonder what it is that keeps even the most politically engaged, and highly educated libs, like the one you are referring to, on the treadmill for so long?

Was he a member of the PSL?

I am glad that today at least there are many Americans for which the action will be highly legible and, in some funny way, the only sane thing to do.

The media, and the state are not prepared for how right he is about this.

Listen we all “live in a society” right? The economic system is what it is. Someone here recently gave me a good perspective that might apply here.

As [socialists] you have to have two opinions about everything, one that is the true solution to a problem (overthrowing capitalism) and one solution for right now.

That sounds to me like what you’re doing already for your personal life, so I wouldn’t worry all that much.

Is it a contradiction? Maybe. But it takes all kinds to build a mass movement right?

God I wish.

Lol this is how I met a friend recently. He was talking with people in the waiting room at dance class our kids were both attending. I overheard him say “I don’t know, I don’t like the idea of someone else basically paying my mortgage.” I realized he was talking about the idea of being a land lord. I started listening and heard him say “yeah if they can afford the rent they can afford the mortgage”. I butted in to the conversation, and said “yeah the only reason they’re renting is because they lack capital” and then said “Honestly, the commodification of land is the highest form exploitation” lol he responded “The commodification of land really is the highest form of exploitation isn’t it?” Then leaned in to introduce himself.

Reading that now is sounds like an “and then everyone clapped” story, really, no one else really cared and moved the conversation along.

But now we get lunch every Friday and talk commie shit.

I love them!

Everything is coming up Milhouse!

Wait when did we get the Friz emoji!?

Dude the libs are on a roll the past 24ish hours. They must be in heat.

Who are you really… 👀

Yeeehaw cowfolk we hog tied us a real wiggly piggly and made some bacon! Good work y’all, come on back now ya hear!

Oh shit, this is very very similar. That’s fucking cool.

Edit: Hot tip, open both links and try to play them as close to simultaneously as you can, it sounds dope.

Edit2: Yeah, playing these over top each other makes it obvious Andor is drawing heavly from this song.

Shocked we don’t have this. Here is a transparent version I just whipped up.

Where do I go from here?
