The Sickle and the Hammer

Fuck you, Elon and Trump and everyone else who tried to steal this election www.reuters.com/live/brazil-...

“As long as they ruin lives lEgAlLy, I’m fine with it.” “But Biden and Obama deported criminals!” If you don’t see how being okay with the one directly leads to the other, you are part of the problem, not the solution.

Absolutely bonkers that Ethan Klein’s fans excused literally everything else he’s ever done, but cheating finally broke their allegiance. Cheating is terrible, but in no way worse than excusing&promoting genocide. This is The Worst Timeline for sure, but at least this little bit is funny.

This cycle is fucking exhausting, lemme tell you you

www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/10/bill... I’ve never been so proud to have missed the Harry Potter mania growing up. She really, really needs to go away.

I FUCKING WISH!!!

The problem is the system, not the individual. Barron will be even more of a psychopath than Donald, AND the political economy of capitalism will allow him to wreak whatever havoc he wants, as long as he serves capital. This doesn’t end when Donald finally kicks it. It ends when WE end it.

FACTS. Best part is, more and more people worldwide are realizing this. The Zionist entity’s days are numbered

So many high profile people dying by suicide this year it seems. RJ Mitte (from Breaking Bad) is the latest, but too many to name. And of course, how many “regular” folks we don’t know about? This is a symptom of a sick, decaying society. My heart breaks for everyone, including survivors. 😢

What’s the over/under on whether the damage from Isaias is cleaned up? Not when. Whether. The fed govt hasn’t addressed the aftermath of a disaster for decades. Clearly they dgaf. This is what hyper individualism breeds. You are alone. Deal with it yourself.

The “academic standards” for being anti-communist and/or pro-capitalist are so low it’s insane.

You could have the most nuanced, thoughtful, detailed criticism of the Dems, and all liberals will EVER respond with is “oh so you like Trump?” Smdh No, I despise the fascists, but I also despise the enablers. Use your gd brain

“WhO cOuLd HaVe SeEn ThIs CoMiNg?!” Institutional religion is one of the most oppressive arms of the superstructure under capitalism.

It’s so important to understand that people miss the Soviet Union not out of distorted nostalgia, but because life was actually better for most people under socialism. Not perfect! But definitely better. youtu.be/RCtByPtGPgg

100%, they nailed it, no notes.

Had to read some of her slop in college and grad school. Absolutely not surprising that a lazy anti-communist propagandist journalist masquerading as a historian also thinks Isr*eli war crimes should be excused.

Talking to my fellow cis straight men: Since the system protects the criminals, we need to step tf up right now. Call out your pervy cousin, your creeper friend, your misogynist coworker. Ostracize them. Report them. Make sure they don’t get away with it. WE MEN need to shut. this. shit. down.

Apparently some rape apologist fascist pig is trying to dox Cornell Jane Doe, and women are coming forward as Jane Doe “I am Spartacus” style. I am Jane Doe. My wife, my daughter, sisters, cousins, best friend from HS, coworkers… they are Jane Doe. Fuck rape culture.

Politics is not something you have, it’s something you do. It’s not posting good vibes; it’s actually doing stuff, like organizing, attending protests, materially affecting the world around you. Even this post you are reading right now? Not politics! Get out there and DO something!

I don’t EVER want to hear that “rape culture doesn’t exist” or that trying to stop rape is “woke” again. 7 men openly, publicly raped a woman at a prestigious university. Then they had to write essays about how they misbehaved as punishment. I’m so disgusted I can’t even think.

Baby formula is $2 AN OUNCE. A 3 month old regularly drinks 4 ounces at a time. That’s $8 a meal, which is around the average of a Big Mac combo. They eat 4-5x a day. That means it’s more expensive to feed a child than an adult in this country. “WhY dOn’T pEoPlE wAnT kIdS?” Capitalism, that’s why!

I’m so sick of the Left falling into reformism and electoralism. “If we want to win, we have to make compromises!” WHAT GOOD IS WINNING IF WE GIVE UP OUR ENTIRE PROGRAM?! WHY EVEN BOTHER?! People need to read Marx and Lenin istfg

Ngl probably the fastest way to get me to not take you seriously as a leftist is to say “I like Abdul El-Sayed”. How many times are we gonna fall for this nonsense?

Dems: “we’ll do anything to win, including abandon trans rights! We have to stop fascism!” Voters: “um, you don’t need to do that, we’ll vote for you if you support trans rights, probably even more.” Dems: “……… but we want to.” Craven politics. Cowardly politicians.

There is a dearth of positive male role models in media. Everyone is either a huge creep (Ted), a man-baby (Ross), or imposes their violence on others (John Wick). We need to see emotionally healthy men who are flawed, self-aware, and care for others. It would give boys something to strive for.

I think I know why the billionaire-owned media demonizes China so much… Imagine laws applying to the rich the same as the rest of us! youtu.be/bFy2dLtkEds

This is insane, but not surprising.

Watching Ed Sheeran completely blow up his entire tour over staying “neutral”, then Pink getting destroyed for her braindead take that her feelings about a genocide are more important than the reality, is hilariously satisfying. Oh and fk Robert Kraft, you racist billionaire pos.

Anyone else get the feeling that the recent AI panic is not about public safety, but a ploy to keep the bubble from bursting? Tech bros clearly dgaf about anyone else, just their money. They are trying to minimize the damage to themselves and their legacies, not save humanity. Bunch of asshats.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Refer to China for how this looks irl.

Tbf this goes back to 2016 and Hillary’s ass campaign vs Bernie’s insurgency and Trump. Obama won in a landslide in 2008 because of his message of “hope & change.” It was all bs, but it worked. The Dems decided “never again will we give the people hope,” crushed Bernie twice, and, well, here we are.
