This isnt even a bit, this shit was said in public by Canadian politician Leah Gazan ...

I see your point but it’s not necessarily an accurate comparison

Nothing prevents Native Americans from buying AR-15s. Native Americans absolutely physically could have committed Sandy Hook, along with every other school shooting you've heard of.

Why didn't they?

And if they did it, would you have less of a problem with it?

If "colonizers" "deserve it," then why was Brett Kavanaugh wrong for what he did to Christine Blasey Ford? Or are his actions only wrong based on whether or not he said "This is for the RESISTANCE!", and we have to stand patiently and watch him finish and listen to hear whether he says the magic words before we can judge?

Gonna blow your mind with this - maybe the entire frame of "liberating struggle" as mutated through a strongly culturally normalized lens of antisemitic violence and exterminationism is not a good basis of moral principle. The only thing "not the same" about any of these crimes is that some involve Jews, making those crimes understandable, and some don't, making them obviously pure evil.

To quote myself from exactly one year ago:

You never see Tibetans or Uighurs massacring hundreds of teenagers at a rock concert in China then packing the women onto rape trucks. Yezidis do not send suicide bombers into Arab old age homes on major holidays to kill off 3 generations of families. There is no way to view this topic without confronting the specifically anti-Jewish chauvinism, supremacism, and genocidalism that has been the norm in Arab and Muslim societies for a millennium or more. The entire "well, what do you EXPECT Palestinians to do??!" frame is pure colonialism. It says only Palestinians know how to have problems, only their tactics count, and anyone who doesn't bomb school buses either doesn't have problems or is doing it wrong.

If I am locked in a room with 99 guys. And we take a vote on whether it would be ok to rape me. It wouldn't matter if there was a 99% majority consensus. All that would mean is that I would need to kill 99 men so that the consensus matches what's in my best interest.

Thankfully, it hasn't come to that: abortion rights are what the majority of Americans want, and supporting a democracy furthers the pro-choice agenda. But just keep this thought experiment in mind, because it's not just about abortion.

Democracy is not some sacred cow, not something you can simply stamp as "the best system of governance" and end the lesson there. Democracy is - at the end of the day - a dilution mechanism. A system of checks and balances is a somewhat effective means to slow a tyrant's ability to do whatever tyrannical things they wished to do. But there is a flipside to that; maybe if an intelligent and idealistic older woman was plucked from the very bottom of the card deck and given absolute power to rule as she saw fit, she would quickly resolve a lot of the crises currently threatening our world. Because she would have empathy and first-hand experience that a lot of the incumbent powers don't. After all, it is not actually absolute power which corrupts, but the pursuit of power. Power corrupts, because no matter the good intentions a politician may have when entering a democratic system, the plutocrats who have already staked their claim are extremely savvy about playing the shell-game with her causes; they know they can force the idealist to compromise her values on one progressive issue, in order to get their permission to advance another aspect of the progressive agenda. So by the time the politician reaches any noteworthy rank in office, she has been so turned around that she has forgotten her original purpose.

What's more, no matter how liberal a democracy, there's one thing you must remember: dead men cast no votes! A system which hears everyone's voice is still only able to respond to those still alive enough to voice their concerns. The plutocrats understand this and have integrated it into the shell game. So our democracy has never been an alternative to violence, because the system we have still rewards direct and indirect violence as a tactic to silence dissent and force a specific desired outcome. On some level, we all know this: it's common sense, and yet still we preach that democracy is some sort of alternative to anarchy and violence. It's not! The parameters of what sorts of questions are up for debate, and who gets to debate them, are still drawn in blood.

And so, my platform is simple: abortion is not up for vote. Abortion is not up for debate. Pro-choice is the only acceptable position for the world to hold, and anything that threatens that conclusion must be crushed with an iron fist. Free speech be damned, misogyny must be intimidated into submission, until our sons never even think to question whether a life-saving medical procedure should be banned. If promoting majority-rule is the fastest way to ensure this future, I will promote democracy. If installing a feminist authoritarian from a minority group in a life-long position of unilateral power starts to look like a faster or more certain way of creating that future, I will do that instead.

if the usually well-read and higher-educated alt-lefts truly believe in their left-wing values they should make their discourse accessible to the lower-educated and those of different abilities who may not have read the communist manifesto but being the demographic they are they surely have something valuable to contribute to the conversation....discourse that excludes those who havent read the Essential Texts is classist and racist and ableist.

if someone truly believes in intersectionality they will involve people who may not understand their Big Words

and its not too far-reaching to say that many alt-lefts look down on ppl who are lesser educated about the same topics that they are......its a left-wing paradox that so many of them are classist racist ableist in this way

like don’t get me started on the alt-left elitism complex where someone only has value if they have enough money and time to spend on their Image (assuming they have an ‘aesthetic enough’ facial and body structure as well) to be as alt-presenting & ‘aesthetic’ as u are

The more she is exposed to public scrutiny, the more we learn about “Democratic Socialist” candidate for Congress in New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s faux revolutionary bona fides. Such as the fact that she’s bought-and-paid-for, more or less, by a far more well-known fake socialist, the billionaire George Soros. As reported by Mac Slavo at SHTFPlan.com, Soros’ growing media network helped ensure Ocasio-Cortez’s primary win over a 10-term Democrat, Rep. Joe Crowley, who is certainly no Right-wing extremist in his own right. So, it turns out our little Communist revolutionary put her economics degree to good use after all: She hooked up with money to get elected. Why is it that all socialist and Communist leaders are wealthy or well-to-do, but their people are always poor and struggling? Anyway, The Daily Caller noted further that Soros, who has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in just the past decade or so attempting to get far-Left anti-libertarians in power in the U.S. and abroad, is trying to place a super-majority – 400 – Sen. Bernie Sanders-type socialists in the U.S. Congress, and backing Ocasio-Cortez was part of that effort: A former organizer for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, Ocasio-Cortez’s under-dog win in the Democratic primary was undoubtedly helped by online actors. The New York Times writes that she was able to defeat her opponent, who greatly outspent her, due to her online presence. In an interview with progressive digital media outlet “The Young Turks,” a member of a Soros-funded network of far-left publications called The Media Consortium, Ocasio-Cortez also admits that their coverage helped her win. The DC noted further that Soros-funded digital media approached Ocasio-Cortez and urged her to run for office, despite a dearth of experience. But by backing her, she received non-stop favorable coverage that buried her extremist beliefs by a media network that reaches nearly 300 million people every month. (Related: Left-wing socialist Ocasio-Cortez goes “full WTF” trying to explain how government will fund socialized medicine for all.)

Soros didn’t back her because she’s a policy expert
