Isn’t this victim blaming?

Can’t you access your password manager from a web browser? Or your phone?

I think I am the masks. There’s no one “under” the masks because I’m defined contextually, I’m a different person in different contexts (social, material, historical) and there’s no True Self that exists beyond the masks I use to present myself to the world.

I transitioned because I like my woman-mask better, but I still only feel like I’m just putting on a show - for myself and everyone else.

Cuba didn’t cause those clandestine projects, though? The CIA caused them.

You’re seemingly blaming Cuba for CIA plotting. It’s not Cuba’s fault that they foiled the CIA’s plots, it’s the CIA’s fault for plotting to assassinate Fidel Castro! Stopping the CIA doesn’t make Cuba a sponsor of terror, it makes the CIA a terrorist organization.

Sounds like the CIA was the cause, not Cuba.

I do believe in fairies!

Are you under the impression that democracy is the thing holding the West back from a green transition?

Wait that’s not “boot time” that’s literally just work lol

Since switching to Linux I’m consistently delighted by boot times being so fast. Don’t even have time to go get a drink while it boots anymore lol

But banks can’t use Linux, it’s not “professional” enough

Isn’t that just… every app?

It’s not even class reduction! Settlers and racialized castes have their own material relationships with primitive accumulation and the means of production, which are distinct in the imperial core and in the periphery.

They’re, in fact, blind to class analysis and just apply “proletarian” and “bourgeois” as dogmatic labels by following a simple checklist.

They sound like they have a profound lack of theory and have spent no time trying to understand settler-colonialism or imperialism or racial capitalism. Their “theory” is actually dogmatism.

That explanation seems incomplete. The election we just had showed that voters are not blaming Democrats for the shutdown, if air travel and food stamps are suspended they’d only benefit while Republicans eat all the blame.

I think the donors are just telling them to wrap it up. They got a win, time to go back to business as usual.

The ones that aren’t retiring could be disciplined by the Party.

They won’t be.

We wouldn’t really be using our electoral system if everyone was a Supreme Court Justice, it’d be a much more direct voting system without an electoral college and if no result got >50% the Court would be hung and there would be no decision.

Honestly better than our shitty elections.

The election we just had demonstrated that voters are on Democrats’ side in this, so we can only conclude that Democrats do not care about winning elections.

Trump has never gotten more than 50% of the vote.

That’s basically true, but I think capitalism would overthrow direct democracy.

People would vote for higher wages and then there’d be a coup.

I don’t buy these anti-democracy talking points, the problem in the US has always been that we have too little democracy.

The People are often ahead of the Supreme Court historically - look at same sex marriage. Same sex marriage approval crossed the 50% threshold in 2011 but the Court didn’t reach that conclusion until 2015. Go back farther and look at segregation - the majority of the US approved of desegregating schools and busses at the time of the ruling. If this was a democracy we’d have had those rights possibly earlier because the Court is either in-line with or behind public opinion.

And I know for a fact that a democratic Supreme Court wouldn’t have ruled in Citizens United that bribery is legal.

My specific view is the one where I get to live. Lots of people have different beliefs and want me to die.
