I find the concept Liberation Theology to be fascinating, because on one hand, Liberation Theology movements have done lot of good in the world,, but theology in general has done a lot of bad,. I'm highly skeptical of superstition in general, and Marx said "religion is the opiate of the people." But religion can be a tool for good or for evil, for unification or for obfuscation. It is not inherently bad.

Germany acts all antifascist until someone brings up Turkey

too tired for this rn. Will probably sleep on it and elaborate later

[insert mega-thread about how "super-straight" is very obviously dumb and bigoted but also can teach us a lot about how to improve queer advocacy here]

The only "Red White And Blue" I respect is the flag of Yugoslavia.

Kennan's long telegram reads like an anti-sjw youtube video

It's really dumb. Why did they make me read this??? Also the manifesto summery is really weird

What is a "Kennan's Long Telegram"?

I have to read a collection of quotes from and a summary of the communist manifesto for a class. It was awkward when I told my teacher I already read the whole thing along with an Audiobooks of Capital and Critique of the Gotha Program.

Finally, IF you feel safe and able to do so (and that's a HUGE "if"). Join or organize a counterprotest. I really wouldn't recommend this but if you feel you must... please remember to keep safety in numbers and distance from the violent fascists, and don't be instigator or do anything to get on the wrong side of the police. Keep your phone charged but disconnected, take plenty of videos. protect yourself and those around you.

If you live near a state capital here's what you can do:

- Stay safe, don't go out tonight, lock your doors and windows.

- Reach out to your neighbors to see what your community needs to defend yourselves

- Reach out to friends and family who might be radicalized. The right acts like a cult by isolating their members. Make sure their safe and they know you care about them. Make sure they know why you oppose the fascist coup.

Volunteer at your local soup kitchen. If there's none in your area, organize one! :) It's praxis.

The biggest danger *actual* anarchists pose right now is accidentally spilling hot soup on you while serving you at a soup kitchen.

It's been said many times before, but if any left-leaning group attempted what is happening today, they would be gunned down immediately. It's part of the liberal-fascist bargain: They may be scary, or disrespectful and uncivil, but ultimately they pose no threat to the powers of the state --they seek to strengthen it. That's what makes them especially dangerous.

Anyone who claims the contrary only helps these people spread their narrative.

Public Service Announcement: These people ARE NOT anarchists. The crowd is filled with American flags, Thin Blue Line flags, MAGA flags, Confederate flags, Nazi iconography and dog-whistles. Their forums and social media posts are filled with calls to make Donald Trump KING of the U.S. and the STATE ASSASSINATION of left-perceived scapegoats. These people aren't anarchists. They aren't libertarian. They aren't "keeping the election accountable" THEY. ARE. FASCISTS.

I would've done a better job on this if I had the time. Maybe change May 22nd to today's date

Your mission if you choose to accept it...
