Liberals lately have made me actually want to throw myself off of a building. Trump isn’t some fucking Unicorn that came out of nowhere and personally made America bad, he’s the logical conclusion of a system built on white supremacy and heteropatriarchy aimed towards expanding and protecting capital. Why are we surprised by the ICE deportations when the US has been terrorizing migrants since Obama. Why are we shocked that women’s rights and queer people’s rights have gone in the shitter when Biden just let it happen. What democracy is there to save.

I’d like to have a proper understanding of the DRC for an upcoming model UN conference I’m participating in.

When a society is subject to imperialism, it is unable to resolve precolonial contradictions (ie patriarchal formations). Beliefs and practices discarded by European societies unfettered by imperialism are still present for this reason. Furthermore, colonized societies will desperately hold onto every aspect of the old society in order to resist the repression and erasure of colonialism. This unfortunately results in “backwards” practices resurging. While this incredibly harmful policy must be criticized, it cannot be grounds to dismiss the burkinabe project because traore’s junta fights the very system that impedes the progression of burkinabe society.

More people died at Gwangju, yet nobody’s calling for regime change in Samsung Korea

Western coverage of antisemitism is completely unrelated to actual antisemitic incidents.

Neither Beijing nor Washington (but actually Washington cause we’re considering everything on their terms).

Yeah. Very nice if you’re new but you outgrow it eventually.

His left bashing is ridiculous. Like I can appreciate his research but going after bayArea and Hasan is crazy. Like yeah I get that Hasan is a demsoc, but unlike other demsocs, Hasan lets his audience move further left than himself.

I often find non-marxist political science frustrating in ways I can't describe. It always seems focuses on the wrong things yet I don't have the foundation to even begin to critique it.

The crazy thing for me was that he started talking about how “civilization is saved.”

If the election of a single person can spell the end of your “democracy,” how democratic really was it in the first place?

This is like one of those “how it’s made” videos but for the CIA
