We are SO CLOSE to Class Consciousness
Class Consciousness: the awareness among individuals sharing similar socioeconomic conditions of their antagonistic relationship with the capitalists, leading to the recognition of the need for political struggle to overcome alienation and bring about social revolution.

electing a brown skinned cop who uses imperial feminism to reinforce American exceptionalism all while she backs the same colonial projects and state funded violence that allows for the re-criminalization of poverty, the erasure of civil rights, and the expansion prison industrial complex is not a win.
there are a multitude of ways and workings to disrupt, divest, and dismantle the master’s house. kamala winning this election doesn’t fix this lovecraft country. kamala winning this election means a return to our communities to manifest direct action, collective liberation, and radical abolition that upRoots fascism, imperialism, and white supremacy from our gardens.

Don't really know how to say this but thinking that the democratic party and that Joe Biden are the most pro-trans and pro-queer politics can get is why you're constantly begging for scraps. For the love of god your american exceptionalism is hurting YOU at this point, for ONCE please look at REAL leftist movements in the global south, look at the real achievements on politics and legislature that queer leftists on the global south have accomplished in the past few decades and then you may finally realize that the reason you're forced to depend on a broken non-democtactic bipartidary system without any real leftist representation is that you're taught to think that what you have is the best by the sole reason of being the Great United States of Murica™.

"This randomly got recommended to me" If you, a pro zionist user, get marxist leninists accounts recommended to you it's because you either searched those themes or you check out adjacent accounts. That's literally how the Tumblr algorithm works lol
And then we have Cecil writting down actual gibberish. Remember that their zionist brainrot is terminal so please be empathetic.
Both sides are Bad: Violent Videogames Edition.
"The problem with CoD and most FPS isn't that it's one of the most successful and widely consumed examples of american media as USA imperialism and exceptionalism propaganda in which america is shown as the ultimate hero of the world against foregein forces by reinforcing and normalizing xenophobic thropes (specifically islamophobic, sinophobic and red scare to be specific) to the point that they have direct funding and promotion from the CIA, and in the case of CoD open USA military publicity. No the problem with those games actually it's that It's repetitive slop with the same american stereotypes and it's getting boring yknow? Instead we should subvert the genre by making military FPS games about Japanese Imperialism! Wouldn't that be So Cool? A Call of Duty but with Japanese and anime™ stereotypes??"

Quick. Someone tell Derrick about the Budapest Memorandum of 1994.
Also, maybe tell him that genocide is actually bad.
And then maybe tell him that an innocent country being attacked with Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles actually IS something you should care about. Especially as it WILL be YOUR problem if you don't help Ukraine win now and the russians start invading NATO countries.
And I must edit to add: the monster thinks the prices of petrol and eggs are more important "issues" than hundreds of thousands of innocent dead Ukrainians? How Christian of him.
American isolationism seems worse now than in 1939.
But then, I guess his profile says everything you need to know...

“We Americans were once a colonial people, and we naturally feel sympathetic to people who are struggling for their freedom.”
Dear fucking god…

The way that Europeans in particular say "this is US-centric" or "typical Americans" when someone (usually a white person) acts ignorant or has privilege in another country (usually outside of Europe, the US and Canada, Australia and New Zealand) as a knee-jerk reaction is actually a sign of a much deeper issue.
(Buckle up, when I say "Europeans" in this post, I mean specifically Western, Central, and Scandinavian Europe. The ones with the history of colonialism and imperialism and the strongest, most influential economies and education systems. I know Scandinavia didn't colonize the Americas, but your education and welfare systems are so high-ranked, there's no excuse for the ignorance you display. Sorry boo.)
I never get mad about people insulting my country, because quite frankly, despite being born and raised in the United States, this is the same country that's committed hate crimes towards me and my neighbors and put its imperializing little hands on our ancestral homelands. We're the ones fighting every day to make this stupid-ass country a better place.
The reason Europeans defaulting to "America stupid" is such a horrible way to respond to a westerner acting out isn't because I'm in denial of American exceptionalism, but rather because Europeans exhibit the same behaviors, and by pushing it onto another country, shift any accountability for those behaviors aside, never to address them, let alone correct them.
There's just something so ironic about Europeans dubbing two entire continents with rich, ancient civilizations "the New World," systematically wiping out the thousands of cultures here and coercing everyone to live by their own...and then turning around and laughing at the mess they made, using it as a scapegoat for when they don't want to confront the terrible things they're still doing. They're pointing at the mirror and laughing at their own reflection. "I didn't do that, they did."

the steps of curing exceptionalism for USAmerican leftists:
Baby step: America is not the best in everything
Hardcore: America is not the worst in everything
Impossible: America is not relevant in everything
#american exceptionalism#bonus exercise: stop using imperialist symbols aka hammer and sickle to be edgy in your local scene#like that symbol has nothing to do with you and everything to do with continued imperialism and colonialism in asia and europe

I need someone to explain the Banana Discourse on Twitter in small words. I might be wrong, but far it looks like an argument between
Western communists deciding the economic reorganization of South America towards "self-sufficiency" by taking away the USAmerican demand for bananas, and
White liberals insisting that South America is better off with the US buying bananas from them because collapsing the industry (somehow) would take away jobs.
Because boycotts totally work, nobody else eats bananas, those are the only two options, and South American people don't have any opinions about their own economy. Pick your imperialist.
Edit: Just found out the discourse is because "we must give up bananas for the good of South American socialism" lady brought up her cocaine habit as evidence that she wasn't moralizing pleasure. On being told that the cocaine trade fuels violent crime by drug cartels across South America, she tweeted:
The nightmares of bananas and cocaine production have nothing on the take industry by the hell nexus between white women and Tankies.
#i've deleted all the posts I've reblogged by that Marxist guy#also like...you realize you can talk about multinational corporations human rights violations#and the need for tighter regulations‚ anti-trust laws#and ecological conservation help#without making it all about whether US consumerism is good or bad right?? right???#anti communist#western leftists#tankies#imperialism#colonialism#american exceptionalism#ethnocentrism#twitter discourse#knee of huss

I'm irritated by commenters who complain about and "correct" language used by others, when their own understanding of language variations in the world is so limited.
These commenters are complaining about the video creator using "learnt" -- they rudely tell her that it's "learned" and she needs to "learn how to spell." They apparently do not know that "learnt" is perfectly correct spelling in British English. It doesn't ever occur to them, hmm, maybe there's something outside of what I know in my immediate world.
American sometimes maybe Amerishouldn't, tbh.

"Car-sized" - Americans will seriously use anything but metric to measure the oversized drones hovering ominously in the skies of New Jersey of which the government denies all knowledge.
