As a fan of video essays and FD Signifier's specifically, highly recommend this one (Was Across the Spiderverse "Copaganda?" with @SkipIntroYT). Skip Intro's series on copaganda in the media is also friggin' brilliant (the one about police dogs was really eye opening for me in particular and yes, that one is about Paw Patrol) and if you haven't seen that already, please do. Discussions like these are important and need to be on-going for real change to occur.

Also, please don't ever watch Bluebloods.

Thoughts on US election

it’s concerning how normalized performing for social media is. and it’s gotten to the point that I don’t even people realize it because they’re performing for themselves not necessarily to be seen by others. cause how are yall so happy, ecstatic even, to cast your vote for a cop genocidaire but was just posting “Free Palestine” & “Justice for Sonya” ??? Literally publicly celebrating voting for such evil.

and it was plenty of *genuine* bipoc leftists that obviously understood our experience under trump & limitations of third party candidates and were clearly for voting for Harris. even sharing these ideas. but the vitriol yall had for them saying to not just give this woman the vote and push her to not be *as* evil was soo bizarre. Yall keep saying lesser evil and now your red line isn’t even genocide??? These people actually know the theory, practice it, and actually do things besides vote every 4 years, yet yall were so quick to dismiss them and antagonize them for trying to push the candidate *yall both want* to stop killing thousands of people???

I understanding voting in your best interest. I don’t understand sacrificing millions of lives for it and I don’t understand CELEBRATING & PRAISING people committing atrocities. Just vote. And Harris knows yall don’t care about any of the genocides which is why she had that entire performance telling people protesting HER administration murdering hundreds of thousands of people to stop speaking or someone else would continue the killing. ??? And yall celebrated that ??? Because if yall listened to people trying pressure her with their vote (the way it should be done if you are going to participate in this evil institution) to push her to change her evil policies, she probably would have changed them (or at least claimed to)

And do yall genuinely know her policies… because it’s giving AKA trump

Be the same people who don’t understand our struggles are all connected but want to post Malcolm X. The same people who don’t understand the IDF trains OUR police force. The people that murdered Sonya. The same people who fear monger worse every 4 years to get the democratic vote but don’t understand fascism has been here. The same people that post love, light, & biblical scriptures (I can’t take yall seriously lmaooo). Yall legitimize these evil institutions that only care about capital so much and jump to able to celebrate them. That’s really the part that’s getting me, like okay share your candidate, but to praise and celebrate and glorify a cop genocidaire?? Unconditionally??? No pressure to stop committing genocide, no pressure to change her policies (the few I’ve seen because there’s none on her website lmaooo) that resemble project 2025, just praise & glory for a genocidal lady.

And I hate this but I guess yall genuinely do not care unless it’s literally you or your family (and you’ll probably give a modicum of a fuck then, not enough to not be in service to the empire, eager to celebrate them)

Also (thought I was done lmaoo) yall don’t understand the merit in community. So busy trying to play the empires game in which you will always lose, you don’t see how you can stop playing it without destroying it first. Because people will need support once the empire falls anyway. How about build that community with everything you need first anyway?? Nvm that building sovereignty is how you can escape capitalism’s grip anyway.

I don’t like to deal with much verbal interaction attention (ig?)— let alone confrontation. And I hate I have to do that and be so defiant cause everything in this culture & society is fucked. And to actually do and stand by what I believe in I have to be so “controversial.” Like my expectations from people are no so bare minimum and I sorta expect conformity (to some degree at least, i.e. internalized biases with little, if any, confrontation with decolonization) from everyone.

In reality, you have to deconstruct so much conditioning and propaganda that’s literally forced upon us since conception as it’s baked into our perceivable reality. Or very understanding of the world. And because of that very reason, so many don’t see it as a life’s journey to healing. As a reasonable journey to embark upon and make a goal, make a solution (there’s no conceivable problem though to the victim).

So it’s difficult to make community but it’s an alienating experience. At least physically. So thank God for social media. Already difficult because of my introverted personality.
