okay enough of the rants im logging off last thing ill say is that identity politics is largely a disease 👍 its point with the extremism its been taken to in part due to cia postmodernism being to wreck class conciousness though the wokeificstion of fragmentory policies and identity👍 bipartisan politics also serve to divide the country (all countries) incresingly so that people cant come together👍 having the worlds most stupid useless fragmentory identity politics discussions doesnt help it keeps us from coming together and focusing on real shit 👍wars pit the resources and labour of the working class against each other for the benefit of the rich 👍"im iranian youre american, you and i have more in common with each other than our governments with us, and our governments are more similar etc etc."👍 if racism stopped and if sexism stopped and if classism between the working classes (which, everyone has forgotten what the term "working class" means, its not abt economic bracket, low, middle, and higher class can all b working class yes including the doctor whose making a lot of money bc it is the exhange of labour for wages) stopped the working class could stand united not divided aginst the system 👍differences in race, class, and sex have Always been used to pit the working classes against each other, and to give people a sense of "well at least were better than Those people" (opressed middle class disdain for lower class, opressed mens disdain for women (at least they have power over someone!), opressed peoples disdain for other opressed peoples)

i may bitch and complain about kinds of people on here bc its a way for me to get my frustrations out, but ultimately i do think it is vitally important to have hope and to try to bring unity between people. ultimately i think it is unity which is the only way this planet, species, and every other species on this planet may see a better futute. ultimately, more than anything, i think despite everything we, for everyones sake, have to understand the deep interconnected nature of everything, have to truly understand that one cannot be free without all, and have to try to build bridges.... it is very easy both as both members of the opressive and opressed class (and yes most ppl occupy both in some way) to fall into disdain, fear, and wants of separatism. ive done it plenty myself and at times i still do. trying to "be better" is absolutely exhausting. but. i do truly believe that we have to try. i do not believe hatred is forever. not classism not racism not sexism not abelism not anything. it is not a curse people are doomed to from birth. people can change, we all can. we at least have to try

#this is part of the reason tho why ppl #tell me i shouldnt become a speaker or activist or someone who engages w ppl to change their minds and im like......... #i dont know if i have the temper for it #i stand by it. but im better at writing when i have time and space to calm my nervee #bc i really dO have a temper and im fed up with bullshit and i can be agressive #and ultimately i dont think thats the best way to change ppls minds #.......... lol one of tbe reasons why i look up to malcolm x so much #he wasnt perfevt by any means (ehm the sexism?) but. BuT still. a very complex very smart very real man who Saw very well #and something ive always respected is his amazing ability to keep his cool in dicussions and debates with people saying god awful shit #his cool his vibe his ability to educate and keep his tone strong and down #*ppl tell me i should #also. this is obviously not to say that there arent differences in class ethnicity religion gender etc etc etc and in how one experiences #the world bc. there Obviously are #also. global location imperial core imperial semi-periphery and periphery countries etc etc as well as each countries more localized power ! #and position #just that ultimately trying to find unity and reach for similarities and understandings and sympathy where there isnt that is more productiv #e #than endless identifying politics fragmentation and opression olympics and also. everyone hating each other 🤷‍♀️
