very funny how the left has so much historical concepts — like “racial liberalism,” “neoliberal multiculturalism” — to describe the elite liberal capture of the grammar of social and political struggles. and everyone has just… adopted the right’s framing of the phenomenon lol

For those of us (nearly everyone) who recognize Woke 1.0 as a failure, what’s something specific you’re willing to say it got wrong? Here’s mine: the practice of describing policies that were, like, Kerner Commission recommendations as “prison abolition” to get attention was dumb

@JacktheFate without any credible threat of exit, no discipline, the so-championed "outside ally" partnership is simply weak collaboration, junior partnership begging. the "sign our letter to pressure him!!" humiliation is well deserved.

class analysis? nah, audience analytics. these positions have absolutely no ability to evaluate policy as policy - - and reduce everything down to an evaluation of reception. welcome back feuerbach.

@lunar_dysphoria You aren't the target audience. The masses are and the masses understand this as a non evil riff on doge

“Allow me to see you, now that you have left me and I have left you, safe and sound like pure prose on a stone that may turn green or yellow in your absence. Allow me to gather you and your name, just as passersby gather the olives that harvesters forgot under pebbles.” (Darwish)

@totalnewbie1 @Dystopiantics unless it draws from the letterboxd review of missing in action by pd187, i won't read it
English
@__ffree @Dystopiantics Idk I think for a small stipend I could transcribe and compile some of the more influential cumtown bits and letterbox reviews that define the core of modern DemSoc thinking 🤔

Hasan Piker telling Trevor Noah "DSA is VERY good at political education" brother they do not have a mandatory political education program

@lunar_dysphoria @katewillett can we think even materialistically? with no change in the relations that produce these positions, what depraved and shallow notion of idealism are we at when the hope is that the downstream product of these relations will somehow be different simply with the passage of time.
English
@katewillett Plenty of younger-than-boomer people in NYCDSA still have this mentality. They want Israel to exist, just a softened, liberal democracy version, which is a total fantasy. Well known how they’ve fought against anti-Zionist rules and undermine working with Palestinian activists.
English
Really hard to see how this mentality survives the death of the Boomers.

“[equal rights for Palestinians and Israelis] would be the end of the state of Israel and I support Israel” - Bernie Sanders
English
@bunkercat15 @_iamblakeley @extra_beef_ he literally lived in a kibbutz in the north. how is this decade old clip news lol
English
@_iamblakeley @extra_beef_ he's always been like this. also, he's a social democrat, historically the left-wing of fascism. which is also why, for example, democrats have a left-flank. every genocidal entity requires a fake opp

I was really shocked when I saw this clip because A. It’s not a new clip. How did this never come up before? B. It’s insane to me how Bernie can be on the right side of so many domestic issues and talk about human rights and they say this shit. Just stunning.
David Miller@Tracking_Power
For those of you who don't know: Bernie Sanders does not believe in equal rights for Palestinians and Jews in the Levant. "If that happens, then that would be the end of the State of Israel. And I support Israel's right to exist". Bernie Sanders is a Jewish supremacist.

The US left is indistinguishable from the Israeli left example 4858336. Of course it’s the fucking troops’ fault

Great message. "The Iraq War was the troops' fault." Put it on a billboard.

I’m thinking of taking back control over music, ditching streaming, and getting a portable media player like the old days. Does anyone have any recs? Don’t need connectivity, but want to play FLAC at 24-bit and to be able to hook up via Bluetooth
English
@Dystopiantics well, as his own formulation suggests, such a political tradition (which he places DSA squarely in) has no operative concept of socialism anyway, so whats there to teach / learn. lol
English
Not even a liberal one, they just do not require members to study anything period

@maoisthnvx_25 @dialecticPaige few are able to write (especially in vol 1) with such rigor and personality; the wit and insight in many of the footnotes alone qualifies him as one without many equals.
