The boobs on the left are nice to look at, but the ones on the right daaaayum that’s nice. Because of our societal expectation of bras at all times for all women, when you see boobs like on the left it’s because a woman has chosen to be vulnerable and it’s extra intimate.
The boobs on the left are boobs you get to see, the ones on the right are the boobs you might get to touch!
That’s not the case. Malcom Harris (famously an anarchist) argues exactly for communists to work with liberals (social democrats). That’s exactly the framework he sets up: in so far as many of our goals are now aligned, we all work together, but without compromising our own goals and values.
I would argue only that currently liberalism is failing, fascism is rising and all leftist movements are too weak to beat fascism alone.
I think we can fight together in the same fight against fascism, and work together against the ever worsening climate disaster.
There will be time to fight eachother when we’re not beset by right wing enemies destroying civilization and the earth on all sides.
I’m worried that not fighting together when our goals are reasonably aligned means we’ll simply get defeated by fascism.
Malcom Harris in his recent book “What’s Left” lays out a great strategy to work together without giving up our socialist, communist, or anarchist essence and goals.
In Canada we have the same thing. You can every year when filling taxes tick off a box to update your voter info to save you the work. You also can register at the voting booth with ID, or proof of residence, or the statement of a registered voter in the area willing to vouch for you.
Basically zero voter fraud.
Voter ID and registration laws are pure voter suppression!
I think you’re potentially looking at this wrong. They might be dependent… Or they might be in COMMUNITY with their families.
If they’re in their 40’s their parents are in their 60’s-70’s. Is it possible these adults have a relationship of give and take where they each lean on the other for different things? Maybe her dad takes care of car maintenance for the family, her mom manages medical needs and she manages other aspects of their shared lives?
Although it’s certainly possible, I find it hard to believe parents of a 40 year old are somehow coerced or guilted into an unfair arrangement.
Maybe we have different life experiences in this regard…
You’re such a fucking bootlicker. Stop acting like there is plausible deniability here. Everyone knows you take your hat off as a sign of respect. You take your hat off to go to church, which he supposedly does all the time. You take your hat off at the dinner table for gods sakes. You certainly as fuck take your hat off to show respects to 6 people you got killed for a war you started to cover up the fact you raped and tortured kids with your best friend at pedo snuff film Island.
He took off his hat to salute a North Korean general though!
.Trump saluting a North Korean general. Kim jong-un looks flabbergasted in the background.
Bad Photoshop will always be better than good AI!
Yeah that’s the best part. If you watch the vid, it’s clear that the police did most of the damage, but the senator was right in the way “helping” trying to get the “good PR” and he caught all the blame. Absolutely beautiful turn of events!
Except for the marine… Having your hands broken for telling the truth is brutal. No one wants to die for Israel’s wars of aggression.

That’s not the original intent. In the US, HOAs were mostly created after the end of segregation to keep black people out of white neighborhoods, an origin story that puts into context the modern of pettiness and desire to control others we see in stories like this.
In the early postwar period after World War II, many [HOAs] were defined to exclude African Americans and, in some cases, Jews, with Asians also excluded on the West Coast.
A racial covenant in a Seattle, Washington, neighborhood stated, “No part of said property hereby conveyed shall ever be used or occupied by any Hebrew or by any person of the Ethiopian, Malay or any Asiatic race.”
When these were found unconstitutional in 1948, they became private contacts until those became illegal in 1968, but because HOAs had to approve new members/buyers, the rules stayed in effect until the majority of a community decided to stop being racist. On top of that, in 1963 the Federal Housing Administration said they would only insure mortgages on homes with an HOA which is really what created suburban sprawl and the ghettoization of the American inner cities.
If you look at the history of HOAs it’s really a long and protracted fight on all levels by racists and bigots against the Civil Rights movement.

TL;DR: Although conceptually HOAs are a good idea, even trending towards communalism, actually existing HOAs are, with a few exceptions, downright regressive, often criminally so.
Yeah, that’s fair. In leftist spaces we should have healthy debate. We just can’t let that undermine solidarity with our more and less radical members.
It’s such a great skit
I get what you’re saying, but we need both of you, and we need you to stop fighting.
We only win enough power to deal with fascism (which will kill millions at this rate) and eventually climate change (which is going to kill billions of people) if we use EVERY strategy available to us. Progressive like electing the best democrats we can, socialist like labour action, and radical like actually fighting an unjust system.
But most importantly we have to stop fighting eachother. People like you need to hold their noses and vote at every election they can for the best candidate they can. People like wuffah will need to tolerate well targeted revolutionary action without publicly criticizing the left.
She’s talking strikes and mutual aid too. A multipronged approach that includes every means we have from political power, to people power, to revolutionary power (mutual aid being fundamentally revolutionary) is the only way through this.
We don’t win if we keep nitpicking and attacking eachother.
Somehow, the idea that Trump would sacrifice his chances of winning a manly bigly war to own the libs, is just the right combination of idiotic and hate filled that it feels plausible.
Yes, let’s arm only the liberals with the best weaponry American tax dollars can buy. I’m unironically down for that!
You can have a lot of fun in a relationship with no future. But you can’t have fun in a relationship with no future when you want there to be a future.
You can either enjoy this relationship for what it is, or find a relationship that meets your needs!
In your example everyone is throwing knives. Not throwing knives gets you shunned where you might starve to death. Leaders repeatedly make speeches about how children who get hit by knives are a tragedy, but we’re already doing our best! This is explicitly to ease social guilt and confound the morals of everyone who doesn’t have the luxury of being able to sit down and study the system.
I can’t blame the people in that system for hitting kids with throwing knives. In fact the ones who hit kids are doubly traumatized because they have to live with the consequences of actions they were coerced into performing. This is especially true if they were also hit by a knife as a kid!
I blame the system and the people running it. You should too. It’s deeply childish to assume everyone shares the privilege required for having a proper leftist worldview in a system that literally criminalizes it. Someone is facing 20 years in jail for having a leftist zine with a feminist review of midsommar right now and you expect every parent to have a critical understanding of economic and social coercion???
