This is Left Praxis, LIBERALS would never understand the 4d chess involved in how Trump winning helps Palestine and American minorities.

    I remember the SPUSA (Social Party USA) chapter I was briefly apart of…

    I remember that asshole who ran it quite well. He basically started telling people I was a “rape apologist” when I refused to give my blessing as the “token trans chick” in a meeting, to a blatantly transphobic candidate he wanted to push.

    What really confused me, was the time that he condemned Bernie Sanders and disavowed him as a “sham progressive”" because he “refused to advocate for violence against the police”, as if that was realistically something Bernie could do without being arrested on the spot, or would have been a smart idea even if he was allowed to say it.

    Jesus Christ. I’d ask ‘Why do narcissistic sociopathic twats always end up running things?’, but unfortunately, I already know the answer. Because they want power, and they’re willing to do whatever they can to shore it up, no principles needed.

    Without oversight from an active community, that shit always seems to happen.

    I’m convinced Tankies have no morals or principles, outside of a desire to find the most Left Leaning people and shout “I’M HOLIER-THAN-THOU!” at them

    It’s exhausting. I just want to not die.

    … well, I guess that’s not REALLY true.

    I just want my friends and family not to die. Apparently that’s too much to ask.

      I think my favorite detail is the guy’s day job was being a manager for a cable company around here, the staff under him went on strike due to his bullshit, we’re in a Right To Work state where “No one wants to work!” is a common everyday line…

      Personally, at this point, I want to die and see what the afterlife is like… It MUST be better than this, or for the Right to finally fall, collapse under its own weight… and if the former, make it quick. No need to drag this shit out.

        I had to Google what Right to Work meant to remind myself. I remembered it was some BS name for some stupid right wing rule, but forgot the detail. At first I came across international human rights meaning people are allowed to work for money, but I knew that wasn’t it. Then I came across some countries where some immigrants don’t have the right to work, and I knew that wasn’t it, too literal, then I added the word state to my search and found what I was looking for - ah yes, in the good ol’ US of A, “Right to Work” doesn’t mean you have the right to work at all, it means a union and an employer DON’T have the right to make an agreement where the employer collects union funding fees from all employees. Can’t let the unions get in the way of that good ol’ wage suppression!

          A more honest name for the law would be “Right To Work An Insecure job For Less Pay”

          America just loves the line that “Anyone who wants to help you is obviously evil because everyone is out for themselves! It’s a cover for fucking you over, that’s why you can trust us when we say we’re helping you by suppressing your rights!”
