From someone who has gone to more than a few political protests and rallies in Boston:

Every fucking time Socialist Alternative shows up, it’s fine until some edgelord dipshit unfurls the fucking huge Soviet flag with Stalin and Mao silk screened on it. It’s like they’re trying to alienate reasonable people as well as historically-informed people. I consider myself a staunch socialist. I also outright detest Stalin and Mao because they were fucking authoritarian despots who wrapped their regimes in “communism” banners.

Sure, some of the systems at lower levels were socialistic, but at the end of the day, it was all in service to the cult of personality in charge of the whole gig. And yes, that’s what the US has devolved into (and arguably had done so quite a while ago, just not so overtly), but that doesn’t excuse Stalin or Mao, nor does it justify being an apologist for them.

Based as fuck. The fact that the establishment players disagree is extremely telling.

The obvious worst case here is that any group that establishes themselves as a class plaintiff in these immigration-related cases is probably going to be targeted by ICE and CBP and DHS for extralegal incarceration and deportation (and who knows what else over time)

That is unfair to both drunks and idiots

Because clearly, “curing” is woke.

lol ok buddy

Yeah, the establishment is panicking.

Keep calm and stay on message. Scare tactics are starting to get played out - on the blue side, at least.

I continue to be impressed by Teen Vogue. To think that they’d become a genuine pillar of journalism is… well, I didn’t have it on my bingo card, but I’ll take it.
