What was wild was the democratic party rejecting the healthcare guy right when a pandemic hit, I remember arguing with some lib on twitter and eventually I got him down to "okay, universal healthcare would be a good thing, but a global pandemic isn't the time for it." Which is a fascinating way of thinking. When there are no humans left to get sick, then we can have universal healthcare.

Crisis isn't the time for doing bold and transformative things! It's the time for flailing around and doing half measures

LF was way more moderate from what i remember way back in 2009 i think.

The most radical thing besides MTW that LF supported was proto-BLM stuff like prison abolition. wasn't there a big long thread on how awful prison conditions were in the USA, eye opening stuff

i remember that. rip dan. its so strange to think about all the goons (even just LF goons) that are dead now.

there's something very offputting and unnerving about death in a digital footprint age that's fundamentally different than authors/artists/etc of yore.

I remember watching that "biggest street gang in america" doc about cops arresting people for trying to lodge complaints against them. I still show people that and get big reactions.

Also the aid flotilla to Gaza, I donated to that and then watched the IDF murder people on live video. That was also very radicalizing.
