Stop Feeling Stunned and Wounded, Liberals. It’s Time to Fight Back.

Maybe start with acknowledging that liberalism can’t defeat fascism. Stop being afraid of socialism, and fight for workers rights. As long as liberals can hide behind their privilege and delude themselves into thinking they are “middle class” because they are buried in debt, because they refuse to see themselves as part of the working class, and instead align themselves with the wealthy that actually own everything, nothing will change for the better. Keep your focus on dismantling the power structure that the wealthy have built, and stop attacking fellow working class people who have been fooled.

Leaked NYT Gaza Memo Tells Journalists to Avoid Words “Genocide,” “Ethnic Cleansing,” and “Occupied Territory”

My personal hate is the word "settler", which invokes an image of somebody taking previously useless land and making it fit for human habitation, but apparently has been redefined within the borders of Palestine to mean "armed invader".

That is revisionist history. Settler colonialism isn’t a thing that happened in the distant past, it is an ongoing process that is still going on to this day. What is currently happening in Palestine and Ukraine is an exactly what happened in the lands that you live on. You are a settler living on stolen indigenous lands, which were taken by brutal force no less inhumane and heinously than that being used by the IDF and the Russian state. Fuck off with that “previously useless land” bullshit.
