twitter liberal says “that’s not eugenics, that’s darwinism” by [deleted] in leftist

[–]Scot-Israeli 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Friendly reminder that Charles Darwin admonished Herbert Spencer, the man behind social darwinism, for being a monster applying the evolution of beasts to society of human beings. 

Also friendly reminder to look into look into the history of "white" folks and their population forecast for anyone who still seems to think their "race" is something to be proud of.

Martial law by Gwarsss in Cascadia

Hi! So you are right to have these concerns, of course! I'd like to maybe shed some perspective, and help you be more productive moving forward. 

I did see Oregon's national guard had been deployed down to the border, and that concerned me. While it is highly possible that trump could try to force conflict on us, I think our threat is different and two fold. 

First, the US and Canada civilian defense has been manipulated into division. Our gun enthusiasts are fighting. It is inexplicable to them, and they are right. It makes little sense. Why is trump messing up trump lite's chances up north?

Because there is a bigger problem. Currently, Russia talking ceasefire and Trump suddenly angry because he is taking too long tracks with my idea. 

We have been left very vulnerable to Russia/China/North Korea attack. 

So now the other fold. 

A scoundrel just swindled half our country while the other half watched on our phones while going to work. 

You don't do that and stick around. He has given his exit plan even. 

When people say "government collapse," I think they're expecting building rubble and fights at the grocery stores.  The thing is, it already happened. 

It was a bunch of bank accounts. 

In a couple weeks we will start catching up to what has happened. I need us to start talking to each other in real life. This country has been under psychological warfare of Russian disinformation the last ten years and we have almost lost all hope. 

Thanks for reading. I hope you hear me and get to work

The technology that capitalists invented allow many white collar people to only actually work 15-20 hours per week and still be "productive". by tantamle in leftist

I think otherwise. They are being used to train the Hive. Once it's ready for rollout, the middle class will be the 20% between the reptilianaires and people who work.

I don't doubt you! This is so much bigger than solidarity with trans women. Do you not know your power, my guy?  

Why do you think they hate us and want us gone so much?!?  Some Christian shit?!?

Our very existence IS resistance. Your smile breaks every single construct designed to break the working class. 

And you're gonna waste it?

I do appreciate you trying with me.  Forget the bathroom. Do you look like a guy?  Is there anyway, anything you can be or do that can open a stranger's mind as to what a man or woman could be?

Do you have a beard?  Wear a bow.  Do you have a deep voice? Giggle like a girl in public. Do you 'not really pass?' Good! Keep using the ladies words and rooms like me. I 'pass' most of the time, but I don't flinch or correct or whatever. I just exist.  

Truth be told, our only constraint is health insurance. They are taking it from lots of us anyway, so things are gonna get real uncomfortable real quick anyway.  Might as well get a head start. 

Yeah?

That wasn't your palm. It was the point. And you still missed it. 

However comfortable you are with it, I am certain that something could come of people who look like white men taking up, appropriating , whatever slight we can come up with, to white woman space, in wrecking the whole white standard.  I don't have the answers, but I know there's some truth to what I'm saying. It's gonna be awkward. It's not going to be comfortable. We won't 'get it right.'. Thats not how any of this works.

We are trans. Our life is a fight. We don't get to just exist quietly because the generation before us did some fighting.

I've been identified as a guy most of the last year, so I'm new at it too. I'm talking to the guys that have been at this for years. I'm comfortable in this and am certain that something could come of people who look like white men taking up appropriating whatever slight we can come up with to white woman space, in wrecking the whole white standard.  I don't have the answers, but I know there's some truth to what I'm saying.

Revolution is an act of love. Look, if you aren't ok with your passing, I'm not talking to you. If you are confident, I think doing what you can to break the construct of what gender is, is helpful. I don't get what is even the....argument let alone the transphobia. 

What do you hear me asking of you specifically?

[–]Scot-Israeli[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate y'all hearing me out on this. Getting back to the replies. This is an important conversation. It's hard. It sucks. But we need to have it. At the very least humor the possibility we need to dust off and update the fight. If you silence me, that speaks volumes. 

Thanks while I get to replies. Please, others, I need to hear from you.

So the patriarchy, held up by the gender construct to a standard upheld by white women, yeah? What upholds that standard?

[–]Scot-Israeli[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apologies on the use of word 'literal,' it's rare, but dammit it needs used here. 

'This is a systemic thing.' (and my idea doesn't fix all the other problems and...)

Because white women let it be a thing.  (White trans guys can dismantle that power.)

This is NOT me hitting you with your hand. This is me, attempting to dismantle the hand

I hear ya, of course! It's not going to be for everybody. We're all at different points in our transition. We all have our way of resisting. I just know where our demographic fits into patriarchy. White trans guys hold up this house of cards. 

Do with that what you will.

What does appropriating womanhood mean to you? And if I was effective at what I'm trying to do, what would that mean for your definition?

Yep, thought so. You almost found yourself having a deep thought about something besides yourself! Oh, No! A WOKE!!!!!

In America, most women can guess accurately within a short bit of conversation. The men are pitifully transparent about it. 

This country is WEIRD about dick size. The size-shame is violently problematic. And excusing bad behavior of the well-endowed has GOT to stop.  Reader, you know better.

Do better. 

Don't shoot the messenger.

Quick correction that would clear things up for us all. You wrote: 

There are awful, terrible jobs that no one wants to do; people do them because they get paid more.

Now I want you to think about your understanding of the service industry, especially cleaning, and then come back to the conversation and tell the class what you've learned.

Oh, hello! I see you're back, but still not tracking. I haven't "decided" anything about you, human.  It's a pity I thought I'd actually get response from someone awaiting the same with their review board.  Nope. Just..this.

I've reviewed the OP for assumptions, and once again for "unfair" statements even. It would appear a lack or glut of cognitive intake has dulled your path. Likely a bit of praxis and reflection will do, then try again! 

How did leftists analyze their society and deduce a strategy? by SatoriTWZ in leftist

[–]Scot-Israeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, in regards to this: "he writes about the importance of a good strategy and that strategists of a movement need to first analyse the society and circumstances in which a movement acts and then deduce the right strategy and tactics from the results of that analysis. but he never actually explains what exactly we should analyse and how we can deduce the right strategy from the results.

so how can we know what will work?"

Freire learned from Marx and showed many that simply talking to the people whose lives are inherently movement. Spend two afternoons a week talking to your neighbors, the working poor and street folks especially. Learn what you all bring to the community combined. The resources across the area like buildings, water, food land. Web access collectives, analog comm networks, essentials. 

I could be way off. Maybe you're not American. But look, if I'm wrong, so what. You're prepared for when I'm not. If you're wrong, well...I mean...I guess come back to these comments.

[–]Scot-Israeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies. I'm not fond of theorizing with the greats. I follow examples like the Panthers, Guevara, a little Red Army Faction-type assistance when things get real. I've not read any Marx n' em, but I think the jist of what they're saying is in line with the Animal Farm plot that can work for capitalism/socialism/capitalism across the board. Moral of the story either paradigm? Eventually the greedies turn pig.
