Princess Di posted:You guys are mad that it's a transgender flag which is evidenced by the fact that you are floating the tired identity politics garbage theories floated by the right and racists. Why do I know this in spite of the cautious scuttling around the subject? holy lol

Anti-racism and LGBT rights and acceptance are included in the agenda of today's leftist orgs and movements to a near universal extent, and yet there are people defending Goldman Sachs while attacking socialists etc on these issues. It's a wild world

Meanwhile a 15 dollar minimum wage had to be fought for tooth and nail. Maybe a living wage needs to work on its branding?

I think it's less the branding that's the problem, and more the impact it'd have on the wage expenses of media corporations, of their advertisers and sponsors, and of the donors and benefactors of the political class, and of the motives that trickle down from that political class to their staffs and supporters.

Imagine being such a complete and utter tool that you gleefully go to bat for Goldman Sachs and the US military-industrial complex because they flicked a table scrap at you.

CORRECTION: Two readers individually and separately requested spotlights given to biphobia and sizeism, with both people citing these issues’ larger invisibility in progressive communities; we’ve incorporated that here, with an additional spotlight on biphobia in our list of oppressions straight people should and must address.

there's nothing wrong with social justice if it has economic justice to back it up. you can't affect one without affecting the other, hence intersectionality. those "we are the left" people that want social justice only are entirely missing the point. also goldman sachs is bad

If you think about it for half a second, economic justice, i.e. minimum income, universal healthcare, is the greatest social justice of all.

If this was about Goldman Sachs then posters in here would choose one of the litany of areas in which they have proven themselves to be giant cesspools of evil. But, the issue today is, The transgender flag. Why?

Absolutely no one wants only social justice. Poverty goes hand in hand with social injustice, so both have to attacked simultaneously.

"we're not the bad guys here! we support trans people!"

The Kingfish posted:Actually no. Not while they still have private property. Okay, I see the discrepancy. To conservatives, there is little or no difference between a socialist democracy and a fully socialist country. Therefore, as long as I'm reading the same ideas, theories, and empty convoluted narratives that are usually floated by the right from posters in this thread I am liable to speak as if I'm addressing a pack of alt right hyenas. Just saying.

Princess Di by Alfred, Lord Tennyson MY good blade carves the casques of men, My tough lance thrusteth sure, My strength is as the strength of ten, Because my heart is pure. The shattering trumpet shrilleth high, The hard brands shiver on the steel, The splinter'd spear-shafts crack and fly, The horse and rider reel: They reel, they roll in clanging lists, And when the tide of combat stands, Perfume and flowers fall in showers, That lightly rain from bankers' hands. How sweet are looks that bankers bend On whom their favours fall ! For them I battle till the end, To save from shame and thrall: But all my heart is drawn above, My knees are bow'd in crypt and shrine: I never felt the kiss of love, Nor maiden's hand in mine. More bounteous aspects on me beam, Me mightier transports move and thrill; So keep I fair thro' faith and prayer A virgin heart in work and will.

[a politically woke (editors note: this is a synonym for african american) poster]: people don't like this transgender flag being flown by a cartoon villain, I think this is evidence of, hmm. Racism, probably.
