Both India and Pakistan are claiming “victory” while Kashmiris dig through rubble, again. Ceasefire brokered by Trump, but the real battle's still boiling. This ain’t peace! It’s PR. Read the full piece. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/thezeitg... #Kashmir #India #Pakistan #Ceasefire #TheZeitgeist
Fucking Labour
Trump UK is gonna be so fucking underwhelming, can't wait to read about how shite it is.
India & Pakistan are trading missile porn like it's 1999 and nobody’s got the balls to stop them. Nukes on standby, kids in rubble, and global leaders doing jazz👐 We wrote the recap only you can trust (probably, idk) 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/thezeitg... #IndiaPakistan #OperationSindoor

Zionists show off exactly who they are, we should listen. 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine
Hey Trump is doing Nazi fascist shit. I know, lets sit on some steps, that'll show em. Rally around the Second Amendment when a President is black but not when your legal citizen neighbor gets illegally kidnapped by plain clothes state officials. Incredible privilege shown by the petite bourgeoisie
The Zeitgeist Memeorial Department really shit this out out
F.D Signifier (@fdsignifier.bsky.social) just dropped the most important political video of the 2024 election (no, seriously). We broke it down, praised it, and maybe ranted a little. 🔥📊✊ Read now: open.substack.com/pub/thezeitg... #FDSignifier #BreadTube #LeftistTikTok #PoliticalAnalysis

Trump’s tariff policy is a flaming pile of bullshit—and we’ve got the receipts, the chaos, and the art to prove it. Buckle up for corporate favoritism, economic whiplash, and one golden toilet. 🧻👇 open.substack.com/pub/thezeitg... #TariffTantrum #TrumpChaos #ZEDEDGE #LateStageCapitalism

Video of masked Israeli settlers brutally assaulting Hamdan Bilal, IDF later arrested him, not his attackers. Tell me my fellow Jews, how does this make us safer, bring hostages home, or represent Judaism as you know it? I'll answer: it doesn't. www.threads.net/@minster12/p...
yeppers, it's the continuing steps to dehumanize and criminalize the trans community. gotta have a boogieman
we need to stop being surprised that the people who float the "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps" bullshit, have never actually done that.

Liberals are not a resistance force. They’re still class traitors. They fight to uphold the same exact capitalist system, the same institutionalized racism. Voting blue no matter who is what got us into this perpetual cycle of choosing evils. Libs aren’t ready yet to actually be the resistance.
I had to scroll through three jerk off posts about JB Pricksker how billionaires are good actually and then got to this post. They say Bluesky doesn't have an algorithm
I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.
No one should follow my posts, they are awful and will ruin you all.

Well, Benny Netty can't let the genocide stop for two big reasons. One, the ICC will fucking come after him (lol actually now that I think about it), and two- as long as he's PM his corruption trial gets delayed: apnews.com/article/isra...
All these you tube podcaster channels saying Trump got a ceasefire deal and Biden didn’t. Pull your videos now. Delete em. They don’t mean shit. Israel broke the ceasefire. Trump did nothing. Biden did nothing. All Zionists know is “kill.”

Make an economy where being a dirtbag is a viable lifestyle option, and you create a society that, as a side effect, allows people to create cool shit. An economy friendly to dirtbags is friendly to *everyone* with a weird cool hobby.

We're looking for books on #blackliberation, like Black Panthers Speak by Philip S. Foner, books on #Palestine by Palestinians, and more importantly #Marxist literature so dense that it implodes on itself. If you publish a zine, we'd love to read it. #books #bookclub #booklover #bookrecommendation
You gotta give em that long drawn out trauma dump. It doesn't solve anything but it ends the conversation pretty quick.
Free Briana Boston! She didn’t threaten violence—she called out the true villains: health insurers profiting off denied care. Arresting her won’t fix our broken system. The real crime? Healthcare greed. #FreeBoston #HealthcareJustice open.substack.com/pub/thezeitg...
If Trump follows through on Project 2025, food safety is going to get (even) worse here in the US. What can we do about it? Let's talk about the FDA, what happened under Trump's 1st term, and whether or not the answer is to become a farmer skepchick.org/2024/12/trum...
Organized religion whether it be Christian, Jew or Muslim is a death machine. Because religious humans are so fucking hate filled, narcissistic, immature and deeply disturbed that they’d believe a fkn fairy tale is enough to mass murder.

why does NYT coverage matter? it gets cited as fact in legislative bans. cass coverage has already been cited in proposed legislation. and apparently ideological & deliberately anti trans reviews are fair game for discussion as precedent at the supreme court.🧵

Yes we know, a rapist is somehow ok. Let's show a little less humanity next time.
We also haven't watched anime since Adult Swim cancelled their Saturday night block. #RIP
Is Bluesky pro-arms for workers or nah? Cuz I have not seen a lot of talk about minorities arming themselves. As a (sorta) wise man once said; an unarmed minority, is an oppressed minority.
Aww that's disappointing
Just glancing over this South Korea thing, is the opposition party really based about N.Korea or is that just strongman bullshit coming from a cornered rat whose time is almost up?
Just "stop enabling power structures” sounds great, but it’s not that simple. The U.S. sabotages peace with greed and imperialism, but rejecting all action isn’t rebellion. Real change isn’t perfect, but it’s worth fighting for. We don’t need their system—but we sure as fuck need to play it.
There’s no ethical civic duty under capitalism, period. Too many leftists get stuck in purity contests, focusing on one issue while ignoring the bigger picture. Yes, Gaza is devastating, but cruelty thrives worldwide. Other lives, other struggles—it’s all interconnected, and it all matters.
Yoon crank that soldier ploy
Yep, and it’s only gonna get worse under Trump. But that’s just part of a bigger mess—healthcare, rights for trans people and women, press freedom, freedom from religion. This isn’t black-and-white; it’s grey, messy, and lives are on the line. Civic duty under capitalism? Still unethical.
People with good conscience don't let a literal rapist into their highest level of government. Like full stop, let's stop protecting the rapist please.
The stupid people were tired of being called stupid so they did the stupidest thing possible to show them libs. It'd be funny if they could even compartmentalize what they have done, but we've seen time and time again, they will dig down and just refuse the reality.
We're hyperbolic by nature, but the tragedy of recommending shows like Code Geass is the inherent spoiler. Knowing a show mirrors its impactful ending ruins the experience. Such stories rely on the element of surprise, and by seeking them out, we risk losing what made them special. #anime #ZedAnime
You're not going to be able to develop a highly informed, nuanced take on every conflict in the world, but I'll give you a good heuristic Always, in every circumstance, be opposed to the wanton slaughter of civilians, no matter what elaborate excuses folks throw up about why this time is different
Now that the jig is up and Trump’s about to carpet bomb Gaza back to the Precambrian, are lefties ready to admit that throwing a tantrum over the only non-rape-accused candidate was brain-dead? If we don’t learn from past mistakes, what the hell are we even doing? aje.io/2btkgy
It was really really hard to vote for the non-rapist it seems. Even with the "genocide" angle many leftist took on her, a literal rapist still seemed like a better choice to them. I don't wanna start saying that lefties don't give a fuck about rape victims, but holy fuck does it look that way

We see posts about not talking politics at the Thanksgiving table, I think now more than ever we need to discuss how more than half of America was perfectly fine with a rapist as president. Do Americans really hate women that much?(Rhetorical, please don't answer) #Thanksgiving #felon
We cannot stress enough, do not give two shits about social media. BlueSky is nice until the bill comes. Remember that capitalism corrupts all, even the most well intended causes. Spend this time while it's "nice" to cultivate your community. We are going to need each other now more than ever. #love
