“Half your arguments are over 50 years ago”

Homie the same people who made those decisions are not only still alive, but they are still the decision makers. There are elected officials currently in the US government that were in office when the US sterilized 1/3 of Puerto Rican women

There are still impacts to be had that aren’t meaningless, especially on migrating birds and the like which wouldn’t be as impacted by something like a suburb simply existing.

Also just because this one might be suburban (there’s really no indication it is) it is a fact that outdoor cats can decimate ecosystems

OUTDOOR CATS DESTROY LOCAL ECOSYSTEMS

One of my favorite quotes on civilization is from Anthropologist Margaret Mead when she was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. This is an excerpt from Ira Byock’s The Best Care Possible: A Physician’s Quest to Transform Care Through the End of Life:

Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts. We are at our best when we serve others.

A civilization does not exist to build riches, expand its domain, advance technologically, or enforce its will upon other civilizations. All of these are cultures within civilization, but not civilization itself. Civilization, at its core, is a method to care for others and ensure a better quality of life.

I never pay medical bills.

What are you going to do??? Untreat me? You already gave me the medicine stupid lol

Always good to point out the source of terrible talking points like this

😏 could be you baby

And every year the DSA changes its rules regarding organization and membership, with the changes coming from the people who make up DSA. The beauty of it being a flawed horizontal organization is that it is a flawed horizontal organization. A few loud and convincing voices are all it takes for major change in almost no time

Bingo. You are there to combat liberalism. They have built the organization in such a way that everyone has an equal voice. Make yours the loudest and most sure and you’ll undoubtedly win people over

You could be the hardlinest MLM in the world

Marx, Lenin, and Mao would all laugh at you ignoring a simple opportunity to engage with your community and build relationships as comrades through mutual aid like this

Leftcoms in mirror are closer than they appear

Very based that calling out a lib revealed them to be exactly that, resulting in their purge

If Mao could ally with fascists for a goal that would only be realized 20 years down the line, we can ally with AOC to attempt to build on what little left momentum there is here in the US

As am I. Are you currently engaged in an organization that practices democratic centralism?

Unironically ironically shitposting my way towards empowering the American left

This is also why chrome makes your computer run slow as fuck

“WE ARE TIRED OF GIVING MONEY TO THOSE WHO DONT WORK!”

abolishes landlords with bipartisan backing

The left wants to take away your rent and rent

Nice
