Important question does Neil Patrick Harris exist in the Doctor Who universe? Does the Doctor get a YouTube suggestion for an old musical one day and have a fuckin heart attack?

99% of conversations on anarchism about here are hampered by people having no clue what anarchists are talking about when they refer to "the state", including, it seems, the anarchists themselves.

Remind me not read comments on political twitter posts

I think it would go faster if game show rules applied to the situation. Every time they fail the vote, someone gets a big bucket of slice poured on them . No matter what, Kev-Kev gets slimed at random intervals for the entertainment of the nation.

What makes a leftist?

There's a whole lot of leftists on the interwebs today, mostly Americans, and every once in a while we find out that a particular person (this week it was Ana Kasparian) is not actually a leftist at all and completely fine with parroting far right talking points.

And we notice that although they seem to have been an advocate for social justice and marginalized groups, they have mainly been reacting to whatever bullshit the right is pulling. Understandable,but not conducive to actually pass out the politics of someone. Being against the genocide of trans people in the US doesn't make one a lefitst, it just makes you a decent person.

Which begs the question: What makes a leftist?

For me it's anti-capitalism. It is also anti-fascism, but even liberals can be anti-fascists.

But anti-capitalism IMO is a stance you cannot go back on. Once you understand how capitalism works, once you grasp the underlying exploitation and the fundamentially incompatable interests of working class and owning class, you cannot go back. You cannot wake up one day thinking: You know what? The means of productions don't belong into the hand of the workers.

That is the fundamental difference between a liberal and a leftist. Liberals still uphold capitalism. They can be the nicest people and super involved with progressive causes, but at best they are ignorant and believe the lie that capitalism is just how things are.

It can be difficult to parse however if a certain person is an anticapitalist or not. Again, you don't need to be a leftist to be against the growing fascism in Europe and North America, against ecological destruction, against trans genocide, against police brutality, etc. That just makes you an empathetic person.

It is also normal to be confused as colloquially terms like left, socialism, anarchy, communism are used wildly outside their actual meaning. Not to mention the buzzwordsalad spewed by the right. Consequently being a leftist also means you have read up at least a little on theory and understand that for example Scandinavia isn't socialist at all since the workers don't own the means of production. That politicians like Bernie Sanders are just nicer liberals, social democrats in his case, believing in a mixed economy. That there are no viable leftist political parties anywhere in Europe or North America, no matter what they call themselves.

Being a leftist can mean that you fall into one of the many schools of thought between Marxism, socialism, communism, anarchism, syndicalism, or their various combinations or none of them. But it means you are an anti-capitalist and understand capitalism as the underlying source of all intersectional ills that plague humankind today. From racism, climate catastrophe, income inequality, nazis to war and Elon Musk. It's all connected. It's systemic.

Serious question.. One of my coworkers was out on bereavement because his mom died and he looks very sullen today. My boss told me his mom died, not him, and I don't know him well at all because I just started the job. He doesn't look like he wants to talk about it but we work in somewhat close quarters, do I offer condolences?

I have been told Hamas soldiers were my jihadi brothers (I'm a pure-bread French, with perhaps a dash of Spanish ancestry and no religion. I don't even know what jihadi means beyond vague stereotypes)

The amount of brainwashing that makes you think every pro-palestinian must be an arabic person fraternizing with Hamas and every citizen is Hamas because Hamas soldiers hide as civilians is staggering.

"Will you see the irony that gazans are starving while there are [smuggled ammutions] in their rice packs" 😐

Extract from the January ICJ Order saying don't kill Palestian people. "The ICJ didn't order anything you haven't already been doing" (unclear if he means Hamas or Israel by you) 😐

I spent a few hours reading legislative stuff to justify how UN, Red Cross and Norway Watch saw the evacuation orders as forced displacement despite the clauses in the internation law article, then be able to explain it above the screenshots that there are exceptions built upon it by jurisprudence and that the other clause emphasizes an imperative reasons. "You should learn to read. It says it's not forced displacement. Now stop using buzzwords. " 😐

"Who turned [Northern Gaza into a warzone?" "It was Hamas when they killed Israeli citizen in October." 😐

"We didn't even invade Gaza until 4 weeks" *stares at Reuters article from October 28 saying the road to the safe zones were airstriked* 😐

May I find the patience to read their messages and sources later on, and may a troll or good arguer around drive them off Twitter cuz I feel like I will engage zionists again in a few months.
