@volts.wtf wow, this was such a good listen. The whole interview is also available as a transcript. I find understanding how people's psychology affects their decision-making and ideologies is much more important than trying to change their minds via argument or evidence or debate.
Listen to, or read this. It's really worth your time.

A surge in gun training is sweeping left-leaning communities after Alex Pretti’s killing by federal agents in Minneapolis. Once cautious, liberals, women, LGBTQ individuals, and people of color now flock to courses, with classes at L.A. Progressive Shooters sold out through March and Pink Pistols in Minnesota doubling classes for increased interest. Experts say the left is increasingly arming itself, driven by fear and anger over recent police violence and government overreach, transforming the gun debate into a growing movement for protection and equality.

If there is one silver lining to the whole Epstein thing, it's that right-wing ideology must be constantly sown and maintained by capital. Broadly speaking, people naturally seem to arrive at the left-wing.
I doubt that anyone will be prosecuted for anything in there. But at least it's nice to know that they have to constantly fight against natural human conscience.

Niepokoi mnie fakt, że syjoniści też przychodzą do fediverse...
Po prostu zawsze faszyści i sama prawica kocha pasożytować na miejscach bezpiecznych dla ofiar ludobójstw, bigoterii itd...
I nie, nie istnieje "Lewicowy syjonista", to po prostu "Mniej radykalny prawicowy syjonista", no sorry, ale jak wspierasz kolonializm i ludobójstwo, wciąż jesteś pro-nazistą

Liberały nie lubią lewaków, bo lewacy umieją dostrzec ich kłamstwa
Prawica natomiast nie lubi lewaków, bo jest tak w otchłani obłędu, że nie odróżnia lewicy i liberałów od siebie
A centryści... To w sumie liberałowie, ale udający, że nie są 💁♀️
My dad gave me this book. He owned it in his time, back when he considered himself a communist.
I guess that’s where a lot of my views in left-wing politics comes from. Today, though, I reject Marxism-Leninism, keeping this not as a doctrine, but as a reminder of where my political curiosity began.
I'm an anarcho-syndicalist, anti-imperialist, non-binary mess (they/them, bi as fuck) from Bergen, Norway!

A thread where I address some common market abolitionist left-wing arguments, and gesture at why they are wrong. Markets will be part of the mix even after #capitalism is abolished.

Do you know what is wrong with idiotic #terrorist #leftwing groups, and especially #vulkangruppe ? Everything. I wish them and their families suffer exactly the same inconveniences they cause onto others. For the greater good, my ass. https://www.morgenpost.de/berlin/article410837880/stromausfall-in-lichterfelde-diese-strassen-sind-betroffen.html
Google says my "Entry to Left Wing Anarchist Reading" doc is getting a ton of traffic lately. Not sure where to check the exact stats, but here's the link if you wanna dive in.

"Both #conservative and #progressive institutions must choose between coalition maintenance and moral clarity. #Rightwing leaders must decide whether platforming #Holocaust deniers is an acceptable price for audience growth. #Leftwing #activists must confront how foreign adversaries have weaponized their movements to advance #antisemitic agendas. #Americans with platforms across the political spectrum must understand that silence functions as operational support.
The historical pattern is clear, and the contemporary threat indicators are impossible to ignore. #Antisemitism has been repackaged as a multipurpose political and economic tool: profitable for podcasters, strategically valuable for hostile states and algorithmically optimized for maximum reach. What began as ancient hatred has evolved into modern infrastructure—and that infrastructure is producing body counts."
