Spider-Man is a class traitor. He ironically wasn't when he was written as a self insert for Steve Ditko's Randian Objectivism bullshit, but only because he was too selfish to 'fight crime' for free.

After uncle Ben got blown away in a robbery, Peter's guilt over not saving him and trauma led him to internalise 'with great power comes great responsibility' and led to his refusal to kill (or even allow anyone to die near him.)

That's not so bad, right? I'd come to the same conclusion, but he fell into the neoliberal power fantasy that most heroes do. He's definitely uniquely able to stop monsters like Norman Osborne etc - people with superpowers and crazy tech who kill people. Stopping violent crimes in general is a positive I'd say, but when you get to crimes against capital - shit that harms nobody, he'll usually stick his beak in, and worse, involve the police (snitch!)

There we have it. Using his 'great power' to feed the prison industrial complex is something cops are already working hard at. His willingly and uncritically participating in jailing young people is messed up. Also, he worked for crypto fascist Uber capitalist JJJ for a long time. At least he swindled him with shitty photos of himself in a costume, but Spider-Man is no friend to the poor.

I always forget this one but he's helped bust up a few protests in his time too. His internal monologue about the ethics of peaceful assembly are revealing, though I can't find it ATM.

I always say that the patriarchy wouldn't exist if it weren't for women who uphold it. Having said that, I present to you:

Pearl Davis

She's famous for being an anti-feminist woman.

On June 28, 2023, she stated in a Twitter video that "women should not vote" and that "the courts, the legal system, all of society is basically pandering and simping for women." In an interview with Ethan Klein on the H3 Podcast, she stated that "if feminists want the right to vote, right, then it should come with the draft." In the same interview, she argued that divorce should be illegal

She claimed that 16-year-old girls are 'hotter' than 26-year-olds

She also said 'Why can’t women in their 30s take the L and just ACCEPT that women in their 20s are more attractive'

She thinks that it's a woman's fault if her male partner cheats, that men should be able to hit women back, and that women don't deserve a man who makes 6 figures if they are obese

She said that when unmarried women get pregnant it is "99.9999% the woman's fault"

She claimed that women past the age of 30 who are childless and unmarried are over-the-hill (Pearl herself is 27, not married and childless)

All I will say is - just don't be like Pearl

Canceling fakir for being abusive? Tired, old, been discussed for 20 years and there’s not much more to say. Let’s cancel him for something new. Fresh.

Let’s cancel Fakir for being pro-monarchy.

Billy Hughes was a class traitor who is responsible for the death of 60,000+ workers, both Indigenous and settlers, who were sent to die in europe between 1914 and 1918.

Hundreds of thousands of diggers returned traumatised, their lives changed forever. After risking their lives for king and empire, many faced homelessness and destitution. Not much has changed in 100 years.

Hughes was an opportunist, a liar and a cheat. After migrating to the colonies, lying about his age and securing assisted passage, the stolen valor 'little digger', never fought in a war, and destroyed generations.

Lyrics to a Song Never Written (Keep Spinning)

Dead flowers on a grave That's how she looked at me with nothing but some passing curiosity She says I can't be saved And I can't really say that she's wrong That love thing only lasts so long

Dry grass and cigarette smoke She keeps stealing the hwole pack We're on our way if we just stay on track Neithr one of us will choke We're old pros at taking in toxins Just another day, and it's time to clock in

The world kept spinning before you were born And it'll keep noving long after we're gone A little hint of love and a taste for the forlong It keeps on moving long after we're gone

Dirty water and whiskey dreaming It can't be early if you never went to bed Giving myself excuses, blame it all upon my head Give demans that sound like pleading I'm think of a way to show you what you missed But I've gone braindead long before I got to this

The world kept spinning before you were born And it'll keep on moving long after we're all gone A little hint love and a taste for the forlorn It'll keep on moving after we're all gone

Doesn't matter who you are We're in this together Doesnt metter if your near or far We're all in this together

The world kept spinning before you were ever born And it'll keep on on moving long affter we're gone A little hint of love and a taste for the forlorn It's going to keep on moving long after we're gone

“It's hard to tell who has your back, from who has it long enough just to stab you in it....” ― Nicole Richie

Keir Starmer’s seventh pledge when running for the Labour leadership was:

“Strengthen workers’ rights and trade unions

Work shoulder to shoulder with trade unions to stand up for working people, tackle insecure work and low pay. Repeal the Trade Union Act. Oppose Tory attacks on the right to take industrial action and the weakening of workplace rights.”

This promise has been broken again and again.

“Keir Starmer refuses to back striking NHS nurses.”  (Independent: 06/10/22

Siding with the Tory government, Starmer turned against striking teachers and recommended they accept a pay cut.

“Strikes: Keir Starmer 'disappointed' teachers have rejected government's latest pay offer."  (Sky news: 03/04/23)

But Starmer has gone further than merely supporting the Tory government’s expectation that workers should take yet more pay cuts. He has forbidden members of the Labour Party from joining striking workers picket lines.

“Keir Starmer tells Labour frontbench they should not join rail strike pickets."  (Guardian: 20/06/22)

Worse still, Starmer has actually sacked a Labour Party member who refused to follow his dictate.

“Keir Starmer sacks shadow transport minister who backed rail strikes." (BBC News: 27/07/23)

This comment from The Tribune magazine sums up Starmer’s true feelings towards workers and trade unions when it cited Sharon Graham of Unite:

“ …the Labour Party was rendering itself ‘irrelevant’ and that its refusal to back trade unionists engaged in industrial action, along with its abandonment of key policies on public ownership, effectively meant that it was ‘sticking two fingers up’ at struggling workers.”

Why Keir Starmer isn’t a member of the Tory Party is becoming more of mystery every day.

Being poor doesn't make you revolutionary, and being rich doesn't make you counter-revolutionary. Your aspirations and behaviors are what make you revolutionary or counter-revolutionary. If you aspire to communism, build communism, and sacrifice for communism, you're a communist.

flipping the septum up for this interview……….. during pride month…………………

[littlegildedswallow]

watched a video where a woman used sexual dimorphism to justify sexism. "don't get mad, get paid." then goes on a rant about how sexual dimorphism is the reason women are awarded for their appearance over their skills.

I don't want hyperfeminine straight women in my life, my god.

The grindset mindset reeks of class antagonism and seems to be filled with class traitors

[materialist-anti-ableist]

Being five days in a socialist commune, discussing actual working class politics really makes you forget how alienated most leftists actually are from their own politics.

You can't achieve anything being this braindead.

Especially when it comes to miniorities like the disabled, who always struggled to Organize because of the accessability this is pretty sad. They are who suffer the most under neoliberalist propaganda because they are dependent on the Internet to share their thoughts and ideas, to connect with their comrades. But the internet is not a neutral space, the Internet is a tool to control the working class by seperating us into bubbles and silence our free speech through cancel culture and bullying.

You know, if you told me when I was a kid that one day, a white trash hillbilly would have a shot at the White House, I would have been like, "What, like with a potato gun?" And you're like, "No no, as the vice president." "Wow, that's incredible. Please tell me more about this hero. What was he, a man of the people? Civil rights attorney?" "No, an Ivy-League-educated venture capitalist who first rose to Fame by selling us all out." "Oh. Oh, well that- that's disappointing."

.

It's like telling a kid, "Hey, you're going to have a Mario themed birthday," and on the day of, a fat Italian shows up drunk on mushrooms and kills his pet turtles. It's like, "That couldn't have gone much worse"

.

I'm talking of course about JD Vance, who just got named Trump's VP. JD made headlines because he said Democrats caused the shooting, by comparing Trump to Hitler. He also made headlines in 2016, by comparing Trump to Hitler. That's right, I know it's hard to believe, but turns out Trump's VP pick is a Machiavellian sycophant with less integrity than a Boeing 737

I was like, "how did this book capture the hearts of the intelligencia?" Turns out it's because that book's whole message is "hey you know how y'all think my people are a bunch of worthless pieces of shit with nothing to offer society? Well, you're right. You're totally right. We suck. We suck, but not me. Please accept me. I'm Different. I once got paddled by a tycoon's son in Connecticut. Accept me please!" And they did

.

2:38 - 2:55

The only reason any of us know who JD Vance is is because he's bought paid for and wholly owned by Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel, the same billionaire whose current pet project is military AI. So yeah, if you thought Dick Cheney and Halliburton was bad, you just wait till my boy Jim Dave unleashes his sugar daddy's armada of autonomous murder drones on Gaza, alright? FUCK JD Vance!
