June 14, 2026 - Clashes broke out between protesters and police near the UN building in Geneva over the past several hours ahead of the G7 summit. The protests were taking place southwest of the city of Évian. During the unrest, protesters reportedly clashed with police, set a car on fire, and smashed the windows of a nearby bank. The head of the Geneva police described the demonstrations as being driven by anti-capitalist sentiment, stating that around 20,000 people took part, including approximately 600 so-called “Black Bloc” participants.

Saying that you can’t protest under Trump because he will be harsher and there’s no chance of listening is just you admitting that the democrats are better and you should have voted for them. Don’t want to hear it from anyone who didn’t vote Kamala and encouraged people not to vote. You are the reason we are in this situation you cannot pass off protesting to just the people who actually tried to prevent this and then act morally superior for it as well.

i hate this shit so bad. every single liberal narrative about the 2024 election is so bad and lacking in any analysis at all

literally every single person involved in the democratic campaign fucked up so badly. kamala's 2024 campaign was such a fucking shitshow that *anyone* would have beaten her. biden fucked up horrifically on his own. kamala harris fucked up horrifically on her own. the party as a whole fucked up horrifically the entire way through collectively. it was just such a horrible fucking campaign.

why did biden describe himself as a "bridge candidate" who would only serve one term and then proceed to not drop out until his VP would only have 107 days to run a campaign? why did kamala harris tack to the right on every issue, including israel, immigration, queer issues, etc? why did she promise she would be the exact same as Biden, who was very unpopular, and certainly moreso by that point? why didn't the party run a primary? can we not speculate that the party harshed the progressive direction she held at the very beginning of the campaign before suddenly turning around and becoming "bipartisan"? what happened to "we're not going back" or couchfucker jokes from Walz? this was doing WELL in the polls!! people liked this!

if there WERE evidence that leftists who did not vote were the deciding factor you'd have a point, but they so obviously were NOT the deciding factor. any analysis of the actual election (that we all watched!!!!!!!) would tell you that. The reason that they lost was because of the shitty fucking campaign they ran!! even if you add every jill stein vote to kamala harris, she still loses!! and outside of those votes, "leftists who didn't vote for kamala" are an unmeasurable number of people that you cannot even be certain exist!

meanwhile, after kamala harris loses, democratic party officials went on news shows to blame trans people and leftists for the loss! kamala harris went onto write her book, 107 days, where she does anti-trans people in sports agitprop, and the next candidate libs are championing does the same shit, is a freak zionist, and governs the state where thousands of homeless people preventably die. even before the primary, this is a lot of liberals' frontrunner!

so no, "[leftists who didn't vote]" are not "the reason we are in this situation". the democrats are not "the people who actually tried to prevent this", they actively took actions that resulted in this!! both hillary clinton and kamala harris on their campaign trail called Iran "the biggest threat to the united states in the world" when asked!! biden, kamala, and bernie sanders are, regardless of how american media paints them, nearly trumpist on the topic of the border. why do the democrats actively manufacture consent for all of the things Trump is currently doing that we all understand are bad? is this them trying to prevent this?? Biden and Kamala broke record ICE funding 2021-2024 knowing that if they lost, (and that there was certainly a chance they would lose) that Trump would use it as his own little military. Title 42 was largely active under Biden, which is fucking horrible to immigrants!!

will you eat up any democratic campaign regardless of how dogshit, evil, incompetent, genocidal, and similar to republicans in policy they are? and then go on social media and spread their incorrect, idealist anti-left agitprop that you 100% believe to be true? if so, you are the reason things are this bad!!

Yeah you're not gonna win against a country that's built around attrition. You cannot bomb away the leverage Iran has over Hormuz

[milf-king]

There's a lot of noise about this MOU but the big takeaway is that Iran took a theoretical deterrent and turned it into a real bargaining instrument. We will know the terms soon enough but even if this MOU collapsed tomorrow, this war has left the world with a new reality. If we want global energy stability we need to cooperate with Iran.

Honestly, I feel like the word "capitalism" should be retired because it means completely different things to both sides.

Pro-capitalists mean decentralization of control and individual freedom in how people use their own labor and resources.

Anti-capitalists typically seem to use it as an all-purpose scapegoat and boogeyman to blame things on.

[odiabonecessario]

From the way that they use it, capitalism seems more like an omnipresent entity who's in charge of everything

[susanoos-wife]

Capitalism just means "a society where I have to work in order to live" to most people who use the term.

[tlaquetzqui]

The only correct meaning of capitalism is “industrial employment”. By the “free trade and private property” definition, the pre-reservation Navajo were capitalist and the “American School” in political economy was not.

We should in fact retire the term. Not least because modern entrepreneurial economics is as different from 19th century industrialism as that was from 18th century mercantilism (which is the context “capitalist” was first used in—and was absolutely not free trade).

Impress me, you intellectual colossus: in your own words, explain what Lenin added to the Marxist historical analysis.

[jjtwo-oh]

Who mentioned Lenin?

[tlaquetzqui]

Wow, that’s actually dumber than I thought your response would be.

If you have a right to talk about this subject, you understand already why he’s relevant to it.

[jjtwo-oh]

Lenins contributions to Marxism are mostly in the areas of praxis and imperialism, but you don't need to talk about Lenin to understand that capitalism is not "free trade and private property" or "a society where I have to work to live". It is the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and the bourgeois ownership of the means of productions, as opposed to socialism which is the dictatorship of the proletariat and the workers ownership of the means of production.

This is Marxism 101.

(this got me blocked lmao)

How do I explain to you people that interracial relationships are okay

Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.

Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like “your kids will be so pretty” they’re not dating for pretty kids. They’re dating bc they like each other.

Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.

People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.

Their partner isn’t culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.

Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But you’re not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.

Interracial relationships aren’t always toxic, and some of y’all need to stop projecting onto other people.

[the-real-gingakid]

Calling ineterracial relationships toxic or fetishizing just seem like anti race mixing or racism with extra steps

I refuse to reblog callout posts because I'm a prison abolitionist

[kalichnikov]

In all my years in this website, and I've been here a long time, I can't recall a single instance of a callout post leading to actual restitution for the victims of the alleged harm the person was accused of. Even in cases where the accusations were true. Even in cases where there was legitimate harm done to another person.

Remember the sixpencee child slave thing? What happened there, exactly? Was the kid freed? No? They were just run off the website? OK so what good exactly did that do?

Remember the bone stealing witch? What exactly did that witchhunt accomplish? The person got arrested, oh that's great, the american justice system surely rectified the situation

And again, those are instances where the accusations were true and involved real substantive harm to another person. We used to joke on here how callout posts were shit like "receipts below: [several paragraphs of petty fandom drama] [three paragraphs of petty interpersonal drama involving cheating on partners or stealing food out of the fridge or something] [fabricated evidence that the person is responsible for the murder of JonBenét Ramsey]"

And that was back in the 2010s. The meta has changed. Callouts used to be a tool people used to point out actual harm a person had done, rarely, and more commonly were used as a means of bullying somebody over petty drama. Nowadays they're used to manufacture outrage and harassment against marginalized populations. They are a weapon bigots use to turn us against each other. A few manufactured accusations here, some out of context or clipped screenshots there, and people who should be standing in solidarity with each other against white supremacy, patriarchy, cisheteronormativity, are instead devouring each other.

It's sinister as shit, dude, and people will still share these accusations without a second thought. So, why? What is the point? What's the best case scenario here? Raising "awareness?" what the fuck is that supposed to accomplish? Will we get the oh-so-trustworthy authorities involved? Are we hoping for an arrest? A conviction? Throwing a queer or poc person in prison so they can be abused and assaulted and humiliated behind bars? Is that who we are?

Callouts and the like don't serve any real good in the world. At a macro scale they divide us when we should be standing together, and at a micro scale they result in deeply traumatic never-ending harassment and threats and doxxing and worse to a person who almost definitely does not deserve it. And again, for what? A sense of "justice?" this is not justice. This is retribution. It is punishment.

It's fucking cop behavior, and I'm not gonna participate in it.
