All the girlies on the internet talking about how they want a "masculine man" who lets them "stay in their feminine energy" need to read Judy Brady Syfer's extraordinary feminist essay, "I Want a Wife."
It's very easy to dismiss these women as anti-feminist tradfems. But if you actually listen to what they want, it's clear that they are using anti-feminist language to make very feminist requests.
They want husbands that aren't manchildren. They want to be loved and cared for by a man the way women are expected to love and care for women. They don't want to have to work "the second shift," sacrificing any personal happiness or fulfillment in life to be both the financial breadwinner and the primary caregiver to both their children and their husbands.
Actually listen to what they think a "masculine man in his masculine energy" is and it's just a functional adult. Listen to what they think a "feminine woman in her feminine energy is," and it's just a woman with free time and hobbies. There's some anti-feminist set dressing about traditional gender roles but that's the real meat of the issue.
They are women who see the problem for exactly what it is. But they come to the wrong conclusion about what causes it. They don't realize that their foremothers, who were trapped in the home and dependent on these men, had the exact same complaints. They had the same problems, they just had no way to solve or avoid them.
You don't need to be "in your feminine energy," babe, you need a fucking break.

the struggle for working class revolution is at the heart of every decision i make in the crossroads of my life. the people are why i need to eat better, to work out, to study more, to participate in my community, to be more psychologically resilient, to be good to children and take an interest in their development. follow the people, don't see them as being beneath you even if they say things that force you to rethink your assumptions in ways that would get you cancelled by your liberal rich kid leftist friends. they're the rebranded ideological torchbearers of elite capital, imperialism, and eugenics-- their opinions don't mean anything even if the system validates their claim to a moral high ground
i'm so frustrated because i have limited time and energy, but that just means i have to work harder to structure my life so that i can keep moving forward in my goals. if your politics tell you to be content with mediocrity and resign yourself to a lifetime of meaninglessness and pain, locked in never-ending ideological gridlock with your family and neighbors, abandon them. if you're going to be destined for toil either way you can at least find your humanity and reclaim our dignity in the process. you owe it to yourself to reject your domestication and do whatever is in your capacity to be stronger than the forces that want to keep you sexless, lazy, and agoraphobic. selflessness is a revolutionary virtue-- the people come first and your value is reflected in our collective strength

watching people shit themselves to death about american patriotic socialism in late 2023 is pretty hilarious considering the american left-liberal pretenders to marxism that hate the idea of actually appealing to the US working class are stagnant and floundering right now. they have no idea how to define themselves anymore as the political consciousness moves more and more away from the woke scolding DEI industry talking points that made so many supposed leftists sound like glorified HR consultants. who in the US working class struggling to put food on the table will want to listen to anything some PMC with an advanced degree has to say about the moral purity of their desire for a nation that vows to protect and peacefully advance their interests? what's so bad about working together across racial boundaries to build something to be proud of, that allows us to reclaim our dignity after the red scare, cointelpro, and globalization gutted our class consciousness? the us working class's interests are inherently aligned to cooperation within the global economic system rather than the imperialist domination that degrades their labor value, prices them out of healthcare, destabilizes their neighbors, floods the country with drugs and pornography, and assassinates their revolutionaries and dissidents. the fact that there are so many communists in america that do not believe in the potential of a communism by and for the american people is a sick joke. they're just chauvinistic liberals that only care for the working class as long as it stays palatable to their aloof, navel-gazing sensibilities or well outside their borders

i can’t use tumblr because the radlib political psy ops are so deep that a lot of you don’t even recognize when you’re advancing pointlessly divisive horseshit tailor made to inhibit solidarity. you don’t notice that you’re framing revolutionary politics in a way that makes people feel burnt out, guilt-ridden, and hopeless at best and filled with reactionary outrage at worst. it’s frustrating. i literally can’t go more than a few posts without encountering this. you people have no respect

as well as all the ways that it's just running rhetorical cover for the genocidal murder of the people of gaza, the liberal obsession with "condemming hamas" is so fucking indicative of Mind Palace Politics. like okay all us pro-palestine protestors will Condemn Hamas. we'll go blockade all of those famous hamas arms factories in our countries, protest our politicians who go on TV saying hamas has the unconditional right to kill as many israelis as it wants, boycott all the multinational companies that work with hamas to help them kill israelis. oh wait whats that? none of those things fucking exist? only israel has those things? well then it seems like 'condemming hamas' is pretty fucking pointless innit!

i just realized that person is british, very very funny. the UK is obviously an extension of the US-led imperial core. even moreso than germany and france, it's the closest the US has to an equal. it's ruled by nearly identical interests. you hate americans because you see us when you look in the mirror

can you not see how incoherent this is? 'all americans will get you involved in imperialist wars so you may as well vote for one of them'? do you hear yourself? also really graphically describing how much i must want to fuck joe biden because i said i'm not voting for a genocidal maniac is exactly the sort of bizarre argument i'd expect from an oversexed 22 year old adult with xe pronouns and an anime profile picture. maybe you should take a few steps back and come to terms with the fact that you're maybe a little out of your depth commenting on geopolitics after two decades spent trawling the internet alone in your bedroom?
been seeing a lot of yank-exceptionalist 'voting is pointless' stuff appearing lately and I feel like my main issue with it is that the reasoning seems to boil down to 'my choices are all bad therefore I refuse to participate'. now whether consciously and/or deliberately or not that's still making a choice. that choice is leaving it to everyone else in the electoral district to make a choice for them, because someone is going to get elected. firstly, that feels like an incredibly yankee way of doing things; this is too tricky to strategically decide which option presented will be the best, therefore I will simply not. secondly, someone will be elected and if you have the power to stop a christofascist getting into office then it's your damn duty to do that; no amount of 'voting is only a part of the machine' changes the fact that sometimes within a system you do have to work within it to ensure you can get out of it. that doesn't mean 'working within the confines of a system will help dismantle that system' because I know damn well that rarely works, but that if an action of the system could be changed for the worse unless an action within that system is done, then it should be done. lastly I feel like there is quite a lot of overlap between the 'voting is pointless' type and the 'spends any amount of time pettily fighting over which flavour of left-wing politics is best' and to me it's wild that anyone that participates in that could ever trust the other voters in their area to decide the political outcome of that electorate, who are total strangers that they may have completely the opposite political opinions to them. when the non-voter can't even get along with someone with arguably very similar politics to them. something about that does not make any sense to me

half of Americans don’t vote. It’s not just disillusioned lefties. The US working class intuitively understands that neither party represents them far better than the PMC left liberals browbeating them about the importance of voting in the “harm reduction” candidate that so far has gotten us into two different catastrophic wars and left most of us drowning in debt. what tf did voting for biden do for the people of lahaina?

This news surfaced yesterday and I just want to say this isn't new. This happened and has been reported more than once. There are also the Yemeni Jewish children who were kidnapped from their mothers by Ashkenazi "nurses", who claimed that the baby is dead, and diagnose the mother with hysteria/mental disorder after.
The lack of regard for people of color in Israel shouldn't come as a surprise at all. How many poc do you see in the government/ knesst despite the number of Ethiopian and Yemeni jews?
