I think a lot of people stopped listening to the rad libs like Maddow and became disaffected from the Democrats since then. those folks are (at least around me) engaging in more radical acts of resistance than the marching-and-shouting that dominated the public actions of that time. so while buttegieg probably hasn’t shifted much, and might think he’s still talking to those same people, many of them are no longer listening.

people are giving you way too much grief about other things, but you are most definitely monetizing the site.

I’ve been leaning toward insurrectionist anarchism, which eschews prefigurative models of revolution. maybe it’s short sighted but it speaks to me.

zionists who want a chance to sue for discrimination. imagine their shock if their entire class shows up wearing Israeli flags etc. the disappointment.
