yeah she also got some naive friend of mine arrested in philly by "organizing" a protest that i am pretty sure was just a set up.

She's saying Brace Belden is a fascist now. I'm not one of those folks running around saying "OP OP OP" but Snyder's hysterics are problematic as gently caress

is "post-left" just code for "having actual principles was too hard, back to centrism, but in a cool detached way"

from what i can tell "post-left" is like an unholy combination of pseudo-academic smugness and acting like a bourgeois tourist of the militia movement. don't think they ever really "got it" while being on the left in a similar manner to the trot-neocon pipeline. for some its a phase, like anarchism, but i respect the anarchists more for spending their youth dumpster diving for smashed vegan garbage cakes

because for a ton of people their literal lives depend on the whims of lovely politicians, and knowing what they're up to is useful?

not everyone has the luxury of being apathetic

also the "grillpilled" people never actually check out entirely, they always have to let everyone know how cool and detached they are at all times

this is also what, i suspect, leads people to the weird loving idea that I think of myself as some posting revolutionary who thinks that my posts will usher in a new age of glorious communism

I just get mad at bad things, sometimes I post about how mad I am, that's literally it

being grillpilled or checked out or whatever you want to call it is just the political equivalent of that guy who is very loud and :smuggo: about not owning a television

The House can pass bills with a simple majority of 218 votes in a full chamber. Democrats now hold 222 seats. However, the number will temporarily drop to 219 when three Democrats — Cedric Richmond of Louisiana, Marcia Fudge of Ohio and Deb Haaland of New Mexico — join Biden's administration.

Is there anywhere else that hosts that quote, just because the source's Twitter profile says "Russia state-affiliated media", so that talking about it can sound more credible with someone that needs to be persuaded?

The rest of this person's feed just descends into a mishmash of Alex Berenson and other OPEN ER UP retweets

To be fair, a left wing politician participating in copaganda is a problem, even if the result method is delivering groceries to people's homes.

e: caring about things and thinking electoralism is a dead end are not mutually exclusive ideas, unless you've been successfully propagandized into thinking electoralism is all that matters
