  • I don’t get the blame for “journalists” here. These are media outlets run by big corpos who knows they’ll control the narrative. Can we uplift quality journalism that is also not filled with bought and paid for journalists and media. If you don’t like CNN stop listening to it 25/8. Same for Fox, et al. The complaints about the media sound like boomer ramblings but I seem to hear it most often from millennials. Like, who the fuck else you relying on to know what’s going on in the world?


  • Great video but I really can’t agree with this protest pushing abstinence from voting on the upcoming election. I get that the current administration is enabling this, but the vote for the American president encompasses so much more than international strife. I wish we could separate that notion because it feels like a it’s been driven by foreign influence to sway the election. We cannot allow another Trump term. Cannot. If you think a protest for Palestine today is going to impact the presidential election as a “lesson” to your fellow Americans then the next protest against the policies of Project 2025 and Trump, will end up overshadowing all that you’re protesting now and the genocide will continue. Project 2025 will destroy America and anything left of Palestine. Yes war needs to stop, but voting for the lesser of two evils is all we get now. There will be not reckoning event for Democrats, they just need to claw back enough power to hold the legislative and keep it from the GOP while also making considerable changes to their own power structures within their party.





  • I don’t think that’s true. Sure, we get a few geniuses here and there, but with literally millions of kids out and about with no real guidance this isn’t going to be good for a future workforce. This isn’t a capitalist vs. socialist problem, but a societal one. Kids without the structure of an environment where collaboration and co-work are made available to them will struggle to integrate into other groups. Workers of the past were heavily exploited because they had little to no education to fall back on and no understanding of where they fit in the scale of things. Until Marx detailed it, all workers were exploited without realizing the whole system rested on them. Likewise, school teaches much more than propaganda and facts, but offer the opportunity to learn how to regulate one’s emotions and temper their attitudes. I also see this as an issue from parents who took school for granted when they were young and who didn’t learn anything about the world around them. It feeds this narcissism that people are just entitled to a certain view, until real life puts them in check.
