You're a man who wrote a suicide letter about why you left a message board and you're back doing the same things you said drove you away.

I think you're unstable. I safely assume your life at home isn't good.

I know you have resentment against your peers who took advantage of their ivy or ivy-adjacent education and moved up the social ladder.

But the reality is, you're a liar.

You grew up around white people. You didn't embrace your blackness until after college (ball didn't work out right?).

Your talk about Compton isn't about how you grew up or shared experience, but just the things you experienced when you you spent some time with your wife's family.

You're a lost nikka. And nothing is going to save you. No dap. No banner. No rep. Nothing.

Log off and save your marriage and raise your kids if you haven't lost that already.

Man got his feelings hurt and is now lashing out lol

Breh, shyt like that just makes you look desperate and kinda unlikeable.

And literally every sentence in your diatribe has at least one factual error in it.

I've never been particularly enveloped in any sort of socialist community, I've hardly read any socialist literature.

1) it was just this board. Look at any other boards during that time, for example the dailykos. Those divisions remain to this day.

2) I dunno, feels like people have less time on their hands since covid. Maybe the pandemic changed people's views on what this site is, and what it isn't and that's reflected in their posts.

3) The most significant one yet. I think I have asked you this question before, but looking at history, do you truly believe the sweeping change you want to see can be accomplished without violence?

1. I absolutely believe that. Thankfully I'm not in any social circles where these particular divisions exist and this is my only internet "community" outside of work-related shyt.

2. That's weird, I would have thought more (I certainly have way more). I wonder if stress is higher too.

3. I think it can only be accomplished effectively without violence. I'm a huge believer in effective social movements being far, far more likely when done nonviolently because A. a violent social movement too often destroys too much of what it tried to build and B. it's too easy to overturn the results of a violent social movement with reciprocal violence. The biggest question to me is whether the leadership of the country is eventually forced to come to a reckoning and chooses to make the shift either due to a realization of the existential nature of the issue or due to the need for self-preservation in the social climate (or likely a combination of both), such as in the Civil Rights Movement here, or whether the people at large will be forced to cease the direction of the country by taking it over from the ground up and simply forcing the powers into irrelevance, such as in Ghanaian or Indian independence or the ousting of Marcos or even Mubarak. The first option appears more likely and more "American" than the second. But we might need to make the 2nd option close enough to happening that they realize they better go through with the 1st.

The left has been shytting on Cuomo long before COVID

the topic was covid, berniewood. stop deflecting

 

[the cac mamba]

I have joined in these discussions before and never have I noticed this rancor. Folks actually seem to genuine dislike each other now. There isn't any respectful discussion.

The only constant is @the cac mamba's trolling

i like everyone in here

even napoleon

its a fukking internet forum. its not to be taken seriously

On point 3,

I can't say I agree. The wealthy will not relinquish power, and the models in 1st world countries show that they always manage to get their tendrils back in to society.
You either build economic power or wield a big stick. Maybe I am jaded.

Still doing the Fox News thing. Let me know when ur ready to talk like a normal person

i fukkin hate fox news i hope sean hannity has to find out his children have cancer

you don't know me at all

 

[Professor Emeritus]

It's true.

Almost all of my social communities are folk who work on on-the-ground shyt, so I have a ton of friends who are working on urban education, or homelessness, or youth mentoring, etc., but not direct political activism in terms of holding political meetings or anything like that. So I have plenty of friends who probably have socialist tendencies but only a handful that I'd actually assume are socialists in any sense. Outside of our international partners I should say - a lot more of them are more openly in that sort of direction even if they're no more likely than my other friends to do direct political shyt.

In terms of reading I'm most interested in reading histories, biographies, and issues-based shyt (Black rights, housing rights, food production, ecological sustainability) rather than political shyt. So not counting essays and summaries and accounts of historical periods I've probably only read 3-5 books that you could call "socialist" explicitly. Like I said, I more came to socialism from the ground-up by studying the issues than by reading the actual socialist literature itself.

I'm not clear what you're trying to say, but I'm on "the left" and I think Cuomo royally fukked up the Covid response. The only pass I give him is that at the time no one really knew what the right Covid response was, New York got hit hard first and everything was still unknown. So his decisions were objectively wrong, but it's at least a little ambiguous how much he should have known better and how much everyone just had to wing it. He's certainly at least partly responsible though.

That's a wildly different situation from the red state governors a good 6 months to 2 years later who had everyone telling them in no uncertain terms exactly how to significantly reduce fatalities and chose to openly defy it cause FREEEDOM!
