  • Absolutely. There is no hope or faith in me for settler-descent Americans; I literally think it’s more likely I die at the hands of a cop in this country than any other possible way. If I knew I’d never have to worry about the exorbitant exit tax, and knew I had a paying job and comfortable shelter on the other side, I’d go as far as to learn the lingua franca and never think about America again other than to “damn, I’m fuckin glad I got out of there before this NEW SHIT happened.”

    But since the job market is a fraud in and of itself, techbros are by-and-large sociopathic ghouls, there isn’t a such thing as a boss that doesn’t steal enough of one’s paycheck week to week to make flight from America impossible, and most actually-existing socialist nations have lists of pre-existing conditions they don’t admit; that’s outside of my means, and ultimately an idealist waste.

    Because Amerika’s military budget is as ballooned as it is specifcally to keep their neocolonies (and those they wish they could neocolonize) from revolting and taking up socialist mantles. We wouldn’t still be blockading and committing genocide as a result in Cuba otherwise. Liberals don’t like hearing their malfeasance; so they at least try to stomp it out everywhere it can be found-- all the anti-‘tankie’ propaganda you find is evidence of that.








  • Not one bit, since everyone who’s ever had the gall to try and tell me what I was and wasn’t has been white themselves. Y’all literally do not move me anywhere but fuckin contempt anymore, and he’s just another relic of the Jim Crow era to me after that. “Strom and I shared a life for 30 years”, he said, eulogizing a goddamn klansman, and you want to justify him quantifying someone’s Blackness by whether or not they were “for him”, fuck outta here you absolute plantation boss.

    You and everyone who thinks like you; who think that they can quantify the essential identities of the colonized, and demand its energy without recompense or exchange, would’ve been measuring out the ropes a hundred years ago.

    If the execs won’t give labor what they’re due, labor is within their rights to take them by the short hairs for as long as it takes. Beyond that, they didn’t get the paid sick leave that was on the demands, and they have to burn their own leave time for sick days. You know, half the fucking reason they struck in the first place that isn’t the ATROCIOUSLY dilapidated state of our nation’s rails, and lack of proper safety inspections that will lead to more catastrophic derailings. One fucking extra day, wooo. Some victory.

    But y’know, you get your freight on time so I guess that’s a victory for you, huh? And honestly, fuck your conciliatory figureheads. You want me to take you serious, show me what the actual rank-and-file are saying.
