RAMMELLZEE reemerges →
ugh I’m in such a weird mood tonight. I went out with friends but was disconnected. I feel that this is indicative a larger thing going on. My vantage point has moved out so that those that I most readily place myself with are far away. It hurts and I don’t know how to reconnect.

– Bittergrapes I’ve been thinking about this exact quote for a couple days now.. (via notsohappybunny)
I need to stop relying on the concept of a “lens through which we see the world” and find something that doesn’t make it sound like my consciousness has astigmatism.

“Why do they hate us?”
Maybe it’s because NATO/U.S. forces represent an arrogant, insulting, foreign imperialist occupation of the Afghan people’s sovereign territory?
That’s just a guess, though …
Also, not to be nit-picky, but I do believe that it is considered a war crime for a foreign army to burn the cultural and religous symbols of the nation it is occupying.

Stop confessing your radicalism. The very act of confession, whether it be in church, in court, at the doctor’s, or to your family, assumes that your radicalism has violated something that is objectively good. Even if they forgive you, the transfer of power has already begun - the legitimacy is theirs for the taking.

fuckyeahmarxismleninism:
By Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey
It will come as no surprise to find out that the Hungarian Government has outlawed homelessness and that people who have lost their jobs and homes, with nowhere to go, now face criminal sanctions.
The tremendous social gains made by Hungary since the time of Béla Kun at the beginning of the XX Century have been swept away. Little over two...

The goal is 1,000 signatures. Please sign and reblog, because we should not have someone who is an unrepentant sexist and rape apologist, who heaps praise upon men who threaten to beat and rape women, in an editorial position here.
DONE.
Sign and pass it on.

Right-wing bigots want to grant ‘personhood’ rights to everything but actual human women — corporations, zygotes, hedge funds.
Seriously, though. This is war. If we don’t move forward, we move backward. It’s not enough to simply elect liberal or Democrat politicians, either, so don’t let them off the hook. Remember when Obama signed into law a health care reform bill which...
