-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ .

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Betcha working conditions on farms would be a lot better if everyone was required to do a rotation once every couple of years.

i did about 4-5 years full time as a young idealist. i was underpaid, ripped off, exploited, and did lots of dangerous shit. got real lucky to not be injured. it still head and shoulders above what happens to the trafficked and adjacent migrant workers brought in by brokers and contract housed. nobody assaulted me, nobody could take away my documents or steal personal belongings from me with impunity with a phone call to La Migra. labor aristocracy compared to the prison work gangs and furlough programs of angola.

but just from the long hours in the heat for absolutely dogshit pay, all that liberal indoctrination against political, mob violence i grew up immersed in, oozed from my pores and evaporated away in the oppressive south georgia sunshine.

i realized in my bones the people running this system deserve everything waiting for them.

We should make it so you gotta have a 4 years work experience before going to college or getting any "grown-up" job, with at least one year in retail, one in food service, one in labor, and one in hospitality.

Mandatory Proletarian Service

this was already a thing. they called it the up to the mountain, down to the countryside movement

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

think 3 months in each leaves enough of impression tbh (with harvesting even 1 week is enough, if the weather is against you and you do some of the back breaking stuff tbh)

I've maintained the establishment dems playbook has moved on from performative identity politics to identity schadenfreude, which now defines the anti-immigration shift of the dems

The point is to compartmentalize and silo whole demographics off from one another using crude divide and conquer rhetoric for the sake of two goals; first to appeal to white American suburbanites and their perennial dislike for anyone with a skintone darker than uncooked pizza dough (the Schumer strategy but explicitly racialized) and second to isolate the organizationally minded members of any given demographic by anchoring them to the belief that only their own demographics can be viable targets of organizing; blasting indirect divisive rhetoric like "Let THEM pick cotton, instead" is only the most visible of the tactics being used. It's a total non-starter in terms of fostering solidarity and the overall point is to create resentment to forestall organizing by left orgs

This rhetorical strategy is born right out of the anti-Palestine hysteria of the DNC, while Sanders/AOC sheepdog desperate radicals back into the Democratic Party, this trap is what's waiting for them

Libs will brag about "Gorbachev knew the cold war was lost when he saw American shelves" go on about end of history and then repeat shit like this without shame. No wonder history in their schools is being rewritten so easily

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago

Completely unsurprising. This is who they’ve been boosting over AOC

I 100% thought this was a conservative after glancing thru the article, and only noticed

“The Democrats have taken a lot of beatings, they’ve lost their confidence,” he said. “They’ve gone crazy. How about this new one they have, their new star Crockett? Are they serious about that?”

I hate this country so goddamn much

THESE are the people these fucking libs come in here to chastise us for not electing? Just vote conservative already you undeservedly smug losers.

“Jasmine Crockett said she wants illegal immigrants to pick her cotton and NO ONE from the left is gonna check her?” women’s sports activist Riley Gaines asked. “Wild times we're living in.”

Color me shocked! The "women's sports activist" is actually an anti-trans hack. I swear these journalist scumbag trash think they can slip by anything from under our noses.

“I’m really trying to grasp her logic,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, added. “And yet .” President Donald Trump acknowledged Rep. Crockett during remarks at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner Tuesday. “The Democrats have taken a lot of beatings, they’ve lost their confidence,” he said. “They’ve gone crazy. How about this new one they have, their new star Crockett? Are they serious about that?” “If that’s their new star they’re in serious trouble,” he added.

Behold! The consequences of having 0 ideological discipline for even the mildest milquetoast progressivism (forget DiaMat)! SocDems getting repeated outflanked by fascists from the left.

Rep. Crockett last month also faced backlash for referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels.”

Appropriate last name for this person. She truly is fried. Someone should photoshop her head onto the standing croquette in this pciture. Hell, I'll do it (tomorrow maybe).

What’s worse is when the die hards tell you that you hate immigrants by not voting for them.

Dems, the Republicans keep saying slave owners and the founders of the KKK were democrats; please stop trying to prove their point, it's making the whole country look stupid.
