  • Being a marxist and a socialist I am not a fan of his enlightend centrism and his constant assault on leftists in general and communists in particular. Since I’ve blocked him every where I can, I cannot give you any links. I don’t use alts. (I’m mostly a lurker anyways)

    However I am also a historian and let’s just say history is always up to intrepedation and while the user is both funny and clever, they are not necessarily right. And I am really not on social media to get rage baited, and so I block people who are persistently annoying.

    I just forgot about them and wished it had stayed that way

    First of all. Thanks for running the bot.

    It’s wild how times have changed. Noone would try to make violence against children funny today. Let alene joke about victim blaming.

    I love Calvin and Hobbes. And almost all of the jokes are as funny, relevant and insightful as they 40 years ago. But jokes like this disclose the age.

    Also don’t start censoring please. I like to be reminded how much we’ve all changed.


  • When it comes to stopping fascists, fascism, or any other bad actor for that matter, I am very pragmatic.

    I’ve arranged Crystal Night Memorials with the local church and temple.

    In fact I think meeting people locally with whom you have nothing in common but a cause is how we foster solidarity and make the world better.

    Our local prides as well as clashes with various arseholes is what brought anti racism and rainbows into our union halls.

    In turn that has might a huge part of the queer movement critical or downright hostile towards pink washing.

    On women’s day I thought ended in the radical rally because it was the anti racist one. Only to find out there was bigger anti imperialistic one later that day arranged by young people. I had a blast. 😀

    It is through our struggles we learn solidarity and organisation. And there is no denying it forms us as well.

    But I would rather stand shoulder to shoulder with some religious mad man, than doing nothing while people get deported.

    And maybe on day I can get that cracker to understand that folks with the pride flags can be his allies too. I wouldn’t have had that option in the first place if hadn’t organized to remember the Crystal Night
