Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.

  • Exactly.

    You can be declare yourself to be an ally, or anti-“bad thing”. The people of those groups decide, not you.

    “I’m a stamp collector, I just own zero stamps, I don’t listen to anyone who says I should collect stamps, and I say everyone who calls me a false stamp collector is actually hurting the stamp collecting community.”

    Check the mod and post history of everyone saying Blahaj is a dictatorship or is supporting attack helicopter shit. Every one gatekeeps or says horrid shit.

    Meanwhile I’ve never been called transphobic. Or racist. Or sexist. Because I don’t go “I’m actually I’m a true ally you stupid idiot, listen to the guy who isn’t part of your group and obey my orders or you’re the true bigot!”


  • It’s like if someone claimed to be an ally to those hurt by racism, said that “Well I don’t understand the idea of Chicanos and I don’t really see why I should respect them when one was rude to someone else months ago.”

    And then other people go "Hey white dude, you’re showing your blind spots. You can do better.*

    And then the white dude just goes “Why should I have to improve? I’m an anti-racist!”

    PugJesus is a cis male who thinks because he uses she/her on a trans woman he’s an ally. He’s not when he’ll gladly toss aside things because someone was rude to someone else online.
