i never stopped being woke 1. blue hair pronouns-having antifa sjw until i change my minnnnd. the only things that i don't stand behind from 2016: the overreliance on 'representation in media' instead of 'weapons in my hands aimed at enemies,' the use of 'folx' or 'folks' (i did it because saying 'people' over and over is bad writing, other people made it into a social justice thing for some fuckin reason), calling people 'tankies,' "y'all" said by people not from the south, standpoint epistemology instead of class-based politics, supporting anything the us military supports (even if they're supporting HECKIN BASED women doing battle)
Whyyyy are DSA hogs distancing themselves from bloodthirsty SJW posts from 2020? Own that stuff! Fascists do!
When asked if you still want to defund the police, say no, say you want to BEHEAD them! People don’t respond well to theatrics but they respond well to an appearance of honesty and confidence! The subject matter doesn’t matter! It’s tone!
aoc should be cyberbullied for saying 'woke 1 was cuhraaaazy' in response to questions about prison abolition.* zohran should be pooped on (nonsexually) for apologizing to the nypd.
as i said in the tags i'm not as gung-ho abolitionist as i used to be, mostly because every abolitionist i read ended up describing something like defunding and changing ('reforming,' even) the system. feel free to suggest more readings; maybe it was a failure of my limited reads.
personal shifts aside, i still don't think there's an ethical way to police people under capitalism. and still, acab. and concerns about 'mob rule' end up just being 'educate the mob more.' and MOST GERMANE TO THIS POST, if i were a politician asked to explain my 'got too epic online' bacon fryin posts, i'd stand behind my words. the mealy-mouthed non-answers don't do anything. they don't convince your fox news uncle, and your dsa niece just thinks you're an insincere careerist who will ditch her crusade to speak to the concerns of the working class whenever it's convenient.
if i ran for office and they found my online activities, i'd stand behind my words if i still believed in them. and if i didn't, i'd be like "i had good reasons to think that [specify good reasons]. i changed my mind for these reasons [specify clear reasons]. you are doing a bad job trying to trip me up. i suggest a career making macrame potholders."
granted, i am diagnosably bad at inferring the mental states of others, but i do have to listen to these people, and this post is what i think when i hear them. i am sure i am not the only one.
*it reminds me of kamala going for the throat and telling biden he was a segregationist only to say 'lol it was a debaaaaate, don't worryyyyyy' when she was gunning for a vp spot. careerist scheming. i wouldn't even mind some cold calculating cruelty against an old segregationist-- she was right and biden was evil-- if she'd said or done literally anything good.

National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 and the classification of antifa, dissident political views and class grievances as terrorism is coming for you. You will soon be called to protect your community from extinction, are they ready? Are you? Prepare now.
it used to be that “fascism is aesthetics as politics” was the sort of thing that took several steps to demonstrate, but now everyone in roman-column twitter says “my ideal world is this AI generated picture of a centurion driving a spaceship” and you don’t even have to draw any connections to anything they just say it out loud.
A network of retired academics and think tanks is chipping away at established truths.
"Residential school denialism, while always present in the community, had emerged from the background and blown up “like a match to tinder,” according to Paul, in the wake of the demonstration. Months later, Paul said, the shift is still noticeable.
“Even now... there’s not a Facebook post that goes out about Indigenous events in Kamloops where there’s not at least one person in a comment section on a shared post saying something about how our experiences as Indigenous people are fabricated,” said Paul.
The Thompson Rivers University event was not an isolated one, nor did it emerge in a vacuum. It was one of a series of events led by Frances Widdowson, a former Mount Royal University professor, on university campuses across Canada.
Widdowson has not been alone in her efforts to generate skepticism about Canada’s residential school history. She is part of a group of roughly two dozen retired academics, lawyers and writers from across the country who collaborate with one another in an email group to construct a more positive version of residential school history.
Collectively, the members of this group are having an outsized impact in sowing doubt about the harms of the residential school system.
They have published over 500 articles about residential schools on various platforms in the last five years and have published three books in the same time span. The books, as well as many of the group’s articles, have been published through the charitable think tanks Frontier Centre for Public Policy and True North Centre for Public Policy.
The two books published by the True North Centre have made bestseller lists in Canada.
In October 2025, two years after it was published, Grave Error: How the Media Misled Us (and the Truth About Residential Schools) was No. 2 on Amazon Canada’s bestseller list for Canadian literature. In December of the same year, the newly published sequel, Dead Wrong: How Canada Got the Residential School Story So Wrong, was No. 1 on that list while Grave Error was No. 2. A couple of months into the new year, those two books held the top two spots of the bestseller list.

[a link connecting many of these people is they worked at or had family who worked at residential schools.]
The network the email group has formed with each other has been labelled by researchers Tahmineh Farnoud and Justin Harrison as a closed community that cites each other in a loop to suggest legitimacy.
Take, for example, this section of a Frontier Centre article about residential schools by Clifton and fellow group member Hymie Rubenstein:
“As for the genocide accusation, a large and growing body of evidence found here, here, here, and here shows no confirmed evidence of even a single child murdered at any [Indian residential school].”
Each linked site leads to a body of work developed by an email group member, the first by Jacques Rouillard (contributor to Grave Error), the second by an author under the pseudonym KamRes and the last two by someone under another pseudonym, Nina Green.
The arguments of these articles overlook the nuanced definition of the term “genocide,” which does not only include mass killing. While the Truth and Reconciliation Commission concluded the residential school system was part of a policy of cultural genocide, a 2022 House of Commons resolution recognized the residential school system as, simply, genocide."

@allthecanadianpolitics
the california ideology is an interesting lil essay. it suggests sv culture was the product of hippies and yuppies working together. i clipped some of my favorite parts.
'both visions at the same time-- not criticizing either'
idk about this part but it reminds me of the early days of 'ai' social media hysteria where some people's first response was to find a slur to call robots
whenever those zionist spambots text me i feel like johnny the homicidal maniac when he kidnaps a door to door salesman and forces him to test all the food in his fridge to see if it's gone off/has freezer burn
i overstated young jews' antipathy for israel but i wanted them to fucking know. I WANTED THEM TO FUCKING KNOW HOW MUCH WE HATE THEM. HATE. HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE
Ughhhh part of me wants to keep using ‘goyim’ as a perfectly normal and not-necessarily-derogatory label for gentiles/non-Jews out of contrarian stubbornness but fascists have (no pun intended) poisoned the well so badly!!! I don’t want to sound like I have CONTEMPT for gentiles :( ‘Gentiles’ sounds so simultaneously religious and wincingly sterile. ‘Non-Jews’ is fine right?
Internet is spotty. If I stop talking the race realist cereal mascot fandom has gotten me. Or else I’ll be reading The California Ideology and getting drunk
My internet crapped out for an hour there. Imagine if my last cuntribution to the discourse was a series of joke posts doing race science to cereal mascots
