  • In April 1963, MLK Jr. writes a letter while in jail.

    I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice

  • Why the ‘national socialists’ came for the communists and socialists first.

    Do you actually think nazis were on the left? Because that’s what horseshoe theory you are defending is all about. The centrist social democrats are the ones that facilitated the nazis rise to power because they didn’t want to side with the communists and socialists.




  • He knows he can provide support to performers if he really wants to, regardless of what venue owners or concert organizers decide. He did it for a band made up of Ukrainian soldiers, but not for someone saying “Free Palestine”.

    Shortly before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the band joined the Territorial Defense Forces, having previously served as volunteers since the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014. In March 2022, the band made an appeal to perform remotely in the Concert for Ukraine, a benefit concert raising funds for those affected by the Russian invasion. Their appeal included a message to singer Ed Sheeran via TikTok. The band were refused a place at the concert due to their association with the military. In response, Sheeran collaborated with the band on a remix of his song “2step”, with profits from streams of the music video being donated to Music Saves UA, a fundraising project created to provide humanitarian aid in Ukraine.

    Memes come from the old internet days, when there were less pixels due to bandwidth. Impact is suited to readability with very few pixels. It’s just become tradition, since most of the meme generators still use it. Just use GIMP, and you can use anything you want if it’s installed on your PC.




  • The Good Cop / Bad Cop routine works so well on a lot of people. They are both cops working to put you in jail (uphold capitalist status quo), they just have different strategies to achieve that outcome, and the game theory logic works in the cops favor.

    You have to realize you are a prisoner before you can understand the actual dilemma. If no prisoner cops out, this is true solidarity.
