Hey! I love your work, but it makes me cringe that you reblog stuff from Turning Point USA. They are Fascists, with the mission to weed out lefty academics. They are behind campaigns against several profs that included death threats and firings, and they maintain the awful, McCarthy-ish "Professor Watch List." I find it traumatizing to look at their stuff in my feed, since I've lost good profs to their attacks.

We are aware of what a terrible group TPUSA is. All the TPUSA memes we’ve posted or shared were supposed to be ham-fisted parodies. We’re sorry that wasn’t more clear.

I’m waiting for liberals to do the thing at George H Bush’s funeral where they call every guest in there part of the #resistance when the whole room is full of nothing but war criminals mourning the loss of one of their most vile.

I’m glad that tumblr is moving onto it’s labor rights phrase but if you’re going to strike you need

clear and concrete demands (i.e. $15 an hour minimum wage, paid sick time, the ability to recieve your schedule a month in advance, etc)

unity. one person skipping work is not gonna make a difference. you’ll just be fired. an entire workplace striking will yield results

mutual aid. if y'all striking y'all not gonna get paid and people have bills and children. you need to raise money for a strike, find a sympathetic rich person or unionize and pay dues

this is not an overnight process. it can take months or years and if you live in major metropolitan area there’s probably already a committee of some sort (DM if you live in New Orleans and want to join one) if not you can form one or join the iww. you can’t just tell people to not show up for work with no plan. because most people aren’t gonna do that.

Microaggressions are often represented as little pokes throughout the day that eventually leave you bruised and tired. In that scenario one micro-aggression isn’t bad, but a hundred of them are.

But microaggressions are reminders that there is a force present that threatens your survival. So a single micro-aggression can send your survival instinct into ‘ALERT. THREAT TO SURVIVAL DETECTED’ mode which sends your whole emotional system into overdrive.

A microaggression is a reminder that you are not safe. That’s why a single microaggression can hit you like a truck.

Only by overthrowing capitalism can we apply this sentiment universally, to all people and to each person. Overwork is a byproduct of an economic system that prioritizes profits over people. With the smart use of democratic planning, automation, and economic reorganization, toiling our lives away to make someone else rich could become a thing of the past.

Workers of the world, unite!

“The low-maintenance woman, the ideal woman, has no appetite. This is not to say that she refuses food, sex, romance, emotional effort; to refuse is petulant, which is ironically more demanding. The woman without appetite politely finishes what’s on her plate, and declines seconds. She is satisfied and satisfiable.

A man’s appetite can be hearty, but a woman with an appetite is always voracious: her hunger always overreaches, because it is not supposed to exist. If she wants food, she is a glutton. If she wants sex, she is a slut. If she wants emotional care-taking, she is a high-maintenance bitch or, worse, an “attention whore”: an amalgam of sex-hunger and care-hunger, greedy not only to be fucked and paid but, most unforgivably of all, to be noticed.”

Twitter made the Jewish lady that posted this delete it for “threatening violence.”

Her followers spent the rest of the day tweeting this. Trolls couldn’t keep up.

Enclosure is the process whereby commonly-utilized resources are privatized to enrich individual property owners (rather than the whole community). Capitalism got its start by enclosing land commons throughout the world, and to this day it is a structural trait of the system to enclose any and all uncommodified goods. Healthcare, education, media, art, internet access, parks, workplaces — even though communities utilize these resources, private autocrats make the decisions and accumulate the profits. Partisans of capitalism would have you believe that enclosure benefits a vast multitude of property owners, but in reality it’s more likely that a wealthy minority will control the majority of the viable resources in any given society.

The socialist antithesis is a democratic commons, where people collectively manage the resources they need to live well and democratically participate in the decisions that impact them. Life would be about enriching the whole population, all and each, rather than about the accumulation of wealth for a select few.

There’s a reason why Robin Hood was always able to justify his “theft” of wealth from the rich: the wealth was stolen to begin with, part and parcel to a great social evil committed by class tyrants who plunder the common human inheritance. With capitalist crises on the rise and climate catastrophe threatening the future of human society and global ecosystems, Robin Hood stories are needed now more than ever.

“Capitalism forces workers to compete with each other. The unremitting pressure from a layer of workers — be they low-wage or unemployed — is a constant reminder that workers compete for limited jobs that afford a decent standard of living. The working class has no interest in maintaining a system that thrives upon inequality and oppression. All empirical evidence shows quite the opposite. Racism against Blacks and other racially oppressed groups serves both to lower the living standards of the entire working class and to weaken workers’ ability to fight back. Whenever capitalists can threaten to replace one group of workers with another — poorly paid — group of workers, neither group benefits.”
