working to kill Monetarism and taxpayerism so that they stop killing people
"Taxpayer" identity has an long, old, and mostly sordid history. It picked up life in the USA after Reconstruction ended as a way of poisoning multi-racial working-class solidarity by getting white people to perceive themselves as funding black people. dissentmagazine.org/article/the-au…
Here we go again with this horrible, self-defeating, Team Blue version of the disgusting and dishonest "makers and takers" rhetoric. 🤬 This is a CONSERVATIVE-LIBERTARIAN moral framework.
"While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the 'Vote Blue No Matter Who' principle." newrepublic.com/article/197994…
I’m often sympathetic to “better late than never” generally but not in your case. You’ve been cheering mass murder for 657 days and now you file an objection?

Read and learn who Robert Maxwell was — a criminal spy feted by the Israeli government — and keep it in mind watching the Ghislaine Maxwell situation play out. Free excerpt of my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT below:

I wish more people in this country could realize the truth instead of fighting it.
This is thew trope the trolls want everyone to believe and that's why they repeat it. More homeless people work full time than not. More tech bros use drugs than homeless people. People who use drugs are not automatically "addicts" nor is drug use connected to violent crime.
The “homeless” are overwhelmingly drug addicts that choose to live that way or lack the awareness they are living that way.
Bernie Sanders, who lost much of his extended family in the Holocaust, is committing a blood libel. How many people sincerely believe this? Does the AIPAC social media intern believe this? Feels like it’s just a ritual now to make these absurd claims.
Despicable blood libel from @SenSanders. Shocking but not surprising that Sanders doesn’t even mention Hamas in this hate-filled rant. Why is @BernieSanders so afraid to call out Hamas for rejecting ceasefire offers that would stop the fighting, free hostages, and surge aid?
I say "the US is deliberately causing mass starvation" because the US could end the genocide tomorrow if it wanted to. Trump has made it clear that he wants all the Palestinians out of Gaza so he can turn it into a resort. This is not just an Israeli crime. It's a US crime.
A reminder that everything that has happened was knowable and predictable on the morning of October 7, 2023. Many of you failed, morally and analytically. Many of you ran interference for what the whole world now sees is a campaign of mass starvation.
The current Israeli government is overtly genocidal and routinely kills Palestinian civilians as a matter of policy; it’s about to kill many more. There’s no excuse for not knowing this; to rally behind them now is a statement of geopolitical preference, not moral principle.
We did this to him. This government. This country. We condemned him to this torture because he dared to follow our own laws and seek refuge here. Utterly sick.
This comes as no surprise. So, when the rest of us avoid the red hat people every chance we get, now you know why. No qualities that you would look for in a friend.
A study found that Trump supporters report enjoying the pain of others, lacking empathy and having higher levels of psychopathy, manipulativeness, callousness, and narcissism. thedailypoliticususa.com/p/trump-suppor…
People act like it's very hard to differentiate between the conservative right (even the hardcore capitalist libertarian right) and the resurgent far right, and I think this is the key aspect. The cruelty *is the point* for them. It's not a means to an end.

I like how honest he is about why he opposes birthright citizenship, that it is, in his view, theft of an unearned advantage.
The sacred tenet of the Democrat Party is that the children of criminal invaders must be granted the same rights of citizenship as American children. It is the mass theft of national inheritance.
“One day, everyone will have been against this.” And as someone who’s covered this for nearly 2 years straight, I will never forget the ones who justified it. Who armed and funded it. Who smeared those who fought against it. There is no coming back from this. It’s your legacy.
I will never forget that the Gaza genocide started under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. If you think it doesn't matter where a genocide started and continued for 15 months, you're probably not really that bothered by genocide in the first place.
