"There is perhaps no organization with a better reputation among #leftists around the world than the #MST. Its admirers will tell you that the group has managed accomplishments that elude #progressive movements elsewhere: It maintains a radical approach, pushing for revolution in the long term while providing homes and incomes for working-class #Brazilians in the short; it has adapted to shifting conditions without suffering major rifts; and it fought to get Luiz Inácio #Lula da Silva, Brazil’s once and current president, out of prison in 2019 and back into power, all while keeping its independence from the ruling #WorkersParty."

a lot of the #toxicIdealism you see on #mastodon in terms of "they're not perfect, so don't #vote" is the same as a russian #troll putting an american flag on their #twitter handle and goosing #kremlin narratives targeting #maga

fake #leftists on the #fediverse with lazy easy #left bonafides to do their #psyop

they do it, because it unfortunately works

toxic idealism is a real problem with #leftist rhetoric

they suppress the left vote and we get #trump

i'm always extra-incensed by the extreme disconnect my entire queer theories or sexuality studies classes operate from around covid! we can talk about hiv/aids, informed consent, eugenics, etc all the while everyone in the room is maskless & there is always at least one coughing someone was talking about feeling safe in queer spaces w/their multiple marginalized identities, which is very real! but even still it's ironically not inclusive to further marginalized folks. so vexed by the incessant disconnect so i had to share this:

folks really gotta start questioning how radical they really are because not being covid cautious during this mass disabling event is at odds with being inclusive, accessible, intentional, community oriented, creating safe space, practicing consent, siding with the marginalized.
