Trump bombing a Venezuelan boat for big oil and the capitalists, but they tell people like you or me to âwork for a livingâ and âearn itâ and âdonât rob or stealâ as the rich act like fkn pirates threatening death so they can steal what isnât theirs while pretending theyâre âheroes.â
Myđşđ˛ family cried more over the death of their dog. The situation in Palestine brings me more tears than the death of a pet.
@angryyegyptian.bsky.social #shahidbolsen has taught me the Middle East is more civilized than the West #middlenation
A lot of what we know about history is propaganda for example notice how westerners romanticize ancient Greece and Rome and hate on ancient Persia when they were more civilized, women owned property, slaves barely existed and other civilizations are not mentioned, it's racism.
ListenâŚ.. đ¤âŚâŚ if you thought that the DNC anointing Kamala Harris Prom Queen for 2025 without a single primary vote after watching what happened to Bernie twice with the DNC producing 100plus candidates to run against him then you have to take a step back and realize that youâre a total fkn idiot.
while three hundred and fifty million people go hungry in India, former granaries in that country export tulips and dog food to Europe. While these same hundreds of millions starve, âtheirâ government attempts to dump sixty million tons of grain into the ocean #hunger #solvehunger #anticapitalism

Instead of stopping the abuse by any means necessary, they join with the abuser like #trump in doing violence to themselves. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Something interesting happens when you combine an abuserâs like #trump propensity to blame with the monopolization of the victimâs perception: the victim comes to agree with the abuser, that all problems are actually the victimâs fault. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow
More blame: the bigot blames poor Mexicans when his employerâs plant closes and moves to Mexico. The owner blames market conditions or damn unions for leaving him no choice but to move the plant. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest #antiracist #antiracism
The sixth characteristic is that abusers like #trump and #maga blame others for their problems. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Civilization has achieved a completely unprecedented and nearly perfect monopolization of our perception, at least for those of us in the industrialized world. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
If the abuser like #trump and #maga is able to mediate all information that reaches the victim, the victim will no longer be able to conceptualize that there is any other way to be. At this point the abuser will have achieved more or less total control. #challengethewest #westunderquestion
No outside influence must be allowed to break the spell. There can be only one way to perceive and to be in the world, and that is the abuserâs way like #trump and #maga #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
That is one reason abusers like #trump and #maga cut off victims from family and friends: so that in time victims will have no standard other than the abusersâ by which to judge the abusersâ worldviews and behavior. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
One of the most common and necessary steps taken by an abuser like #trump in order to control a victim is to monopolize the victimâs perception. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Abusers merely isolate victims from other resources. Far moreso even than this, civilization isolates all of usâideologically and physicallyâfrom the source of all life. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Which brings us to the next category: abusers like #trump isolate their victims from other resources. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Thatâs also one of the reasons this culture must kill all non-civilized peoples, both human and nonhuman: in order to preclude the possibility of our escape. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
We set up cityscapes where we see no free and wild beings. We see concrete, steel, asphalt. Even the trees in cities are in cages. Everything mirrors our own confinement. Everything mirrors our own internal deadness. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
But the parasitism of the dominant culture is endless, because once you cut yourself off from the free flow of mutually permeable life you have to get your life back somehow, artificially. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
To some extent it can come from sucking the labor of the poor, and to some extent it can come from exploiting the bodies of animals and people treated like animals. The exploiting of the bodies of women gives a lot of energy. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
To maintain the system of dominance, itâs crucial that the elite like #trump learns empathic numbnes #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
for all of human existenceâsave the last hundred yearsâit was expected that elders would live with or near one or more of their children. Itâs been a sudden shift. It struck me as significant that none of my indigenous or third world friends have ever found the arrangement anything but expected.
Abusive relationships are a parody of love. Cities are parodies of communities, and citizenship is a parody of being a member of a functioning community. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Rape is a parody of sex. Civilized wars are parodies of indigenous warfare, which is a relatively non-lethal and exhilarating form of play, meaning civilized warfare is a parody of play. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
We have at this point become dependent on oil, on dammed rivers, on this exploitative way of being (or, once again, non-being). Without it many of us would die, most all of us would lose our identities. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
After this cultureâs short time here, not only has it toxified streams and groundwater, but even motherâs breast milk. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
In this extremely short time this culture has shredded the natural fabric of this continent, enslaving, terrorizing, and/or eradicating its nonhuman inhabitants, and giving its human residents the choice of civilization or death #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Then I thought about advertising, and more broadly television, and how through our entire lives weâre manipulated by distant others who do not have our best interests at heart. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Abusers like #trump He may verbally abuse you, saying cruel, hurtful, degrading things. He may run down your accomplishments, and may attempt to convince you that you cannot function without him. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Abusers like #trump Sudden mood swings are another warning signal. He can be nice one minute, and explosively violent the next, which means of course he was never really nice to begin with. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
Abusers like #trump He gets upset easily. Heâs hypersensitive. The slightest setbacks are personal attacks. Heâs often cruel, or at the very least insensitive to the pain and suffering of nonhuman animals, and also to children. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
We are going to fight them and impose our will on them and we will capture or . . . kill them until we have imposed law and order on this country. We dominate the scene and we will continue to impose our will on this country. Paul Bremer, U.S. Administrator of occupied Iraq #challengethewest
how many people do you know who hate their jobs? On the other hand, how many people do you know who love their lives, and who live at least remotely integrated into the larger community that is their landbase? #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
National Guard deserves to go without pay. They should refuse unconstitutional orders. Mark Passio destroys order followers
We should never forget that our whole economic, political and intellectual development has as its presupposition a state of things in which slavery was as necessary as it is universally recognized.â #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
âWithout slavery, no Greek state, no Greek art and science; without slavery, no Roman Empire. #Engels #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
This might be a good time to remind readers of the necessary relationship between civilization and slavery, that in fact civilization originated in slavery, is based on slavery, requires slavery, would collapse without slavery. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
The heroin ceases to serve the addict, and the addict begins to serve the heroin. We can say the same for civilization: it does not serve us, but rather we serve it. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
One can be addicted to many things besides drugs, alcohol, tobacco. One can be addicted to television, sugar, coffee, low self-esteem, sex, authority, shopping, a specific (or specific type of) relationship. #challengethewest #westunderquestion #decolonizenow #critiqueofthewest
âIt would seem ironic that the world spends more on things to destroy each other (military) and to destroy ourselves (drugs, alcohol and cigarettes) than on anything else.â #coloniallegacy #neocolonialism #westernhegemony
The culture as a whole and most of its members are insane. The culture is driven by a death urge, an urge to destroy life. #antiwestern #antiusa #antiamerica
Florida is again trying to dismiss a mass shooting, BUT their concentration camp is closing, someone in that state does has a brain, now get rid of governor kiss ass.
we could subsidize the same corporations to repair damage theyâve already caused. Instead, for example, of the public paying Weyerhaeuser to deforest, as is currently the case, we could pay it to reforest. #environmentalism #environmentalist
By now there can be few who do not understand that without massive public subsidies (far larger than total profits) the entire corporate economy would collapse overnight. People pay to deforest the planet, decapitate mountains, decimate oceans, destroy rivers. #anticapitalism
No amount of comforts or elegancies, what that nineteenth-century slave owner called the characteristics of civilization, are worth killing the planet. #anticapitalism #anticonsumerism
Hey @thedemocratsmv.bsky.social Keep it up and weâll start a new party with the bright young leaders you choose not to recognize.. shame on you @dncc.bsky.social

Valentina Gomez, repeat book burning failed GOP candidate, now running to represent Texasâ 31st Congressional District next year has decided the U.S. hasn't had its share of terrorist attacks. I guess school shootings just don't go far enough in her estimation.
The COVID vaccines should be available for everyone. Letâs hope the deadly duo of RFK Jr. and Trump donât pull them from the market! đ FDA approves updated COVID-19 shots but limits access for some kids and adults www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...
Gavin Newsom âWe cannot even make it through the first week of school without mass shootings. And the GOP will continue to do absolutely nothing while our kids are being gunned down. This is sick.â
@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: "Trumpâs deployment of 2,300 National Guard troops and 500 federal law enforcement agents has hurt foot traffic, chilled business, and made people cancel trips and nights out. It is slowly choking the life out of Washington, D.C." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-s...
Trumpâs tariffs are a regressive tax on Americans â and yesterday, yet another court ruled that these tariffs are unconstitutional. We joined MSNBCâs The Weekend this morning to talk about why these tariffs are an abuse of emergency power. #tariffs #orpol #ieepa
Trump celebrates Labor Day Weekend by treating American workers the same way he has treated them throughout his entire life: with contempt, condescension, and cruelty.
The values of the government of Florida are the values of the third reich. The values of the Ku Klux Klan. They demand an erasure of all other races, all other peoples, all other creeds. They will demand all others be made legally subordinate, as they already have done to trans folks.
Florida politics are the same as Nazi Germany, but with 100% humidity.
Floridaâs immigrant detention crisis isnât a failureâitâs the blueprint. Engineered cruelty. State-sanctioned abuse. DeSantis turned the state into a test lab for authoritarianismâand now itâs spreading. You wonât believe what theyâve gotten away with. social.demcast.com/s/Dk6aQBQR
I grew up in Florida, I lived there for 38 years, I never met a good cop. Every single one of them was a cruel bastard, looking for opportunities to inflict themselves on others. They rape, they kill, they suppress the vote in black communities with FHP checkpoints on voting day.

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of âDid this dictator die or just disappear for a day?â Weâve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantisâ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Yes absolutely and in Vietnam literally. Every war since WW2
There are real schisms among those atop our society, but the unfortunate truth is that employersâ class interests have always attracted them toward movements of the Right. #rulingclass #oligarchy #employerclass #bourgeoisie #bourgeois www.counterpunch.org/2025/08/29/a...
Good solution
True, Biden acted as an agent of Big Capital not organized labor
The Enclosure movement
Just saw a land rover defender ad. Does anyone else find it ironic that SUVs which destroy the environment and accelerate climate change is promoted to "outdoorsy" people? #anticapitalism
I'm not a #jones acolyte. I like Thomm Hartman , John Zerzan, Derrick Jensen, Chris Hedges
What can I do with my audience to support mass action against Starbucks?
I agree appeals to authority are weak. No need for ad hominem attacks. How much are you willing to suffer for a revolution? Here's a PhD #dremichaeljones discussing the level of suffering involved in the French Revolution? Another appeal to authority đ
I understand your anger 𤏠are you aware if Biden let railway strike continue, grocery store shelves would be empty ? How much are you willing to suffer for a revolution? Is there something proactive I can do as a middle income person to help the homeless?
I'm angry đĄ with Starbucks also. Can we organize a consumer boycott of Starbucks that creates a bottleneck that forces them to bargain in good faith ? #shahidbolsen #middlenation
Biden breaking the labor strike was pathetic. Who's eating rats?
Biden LITERALLY put progressive people on National Labor Relations Board that made it easier to unionize. Don't ask for revolution until you are ready to eat rats -my Oxford educated high school history teacher
#liberal (s) want economic relief. 300 Starbucks stores unionized during Biden. We want to cauterize the bleeding

HELLO I admit it in my video Democrats are capitalists and imperialists. Obviously #joebiden and #kamala Harris suck on genocide in Palestine BUT #lgbtq rights are stronger in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, DC than red states. Blue state teachers have strong retirement
Why #Democrats are better than Republicans in every area #voteblue youtu.be/5eH4ZXm0dZU?...
Trump ruining the economy in real time I'm disappointed that some reviews that marketing people said yes to fell through this week probably because of tariffs #trumpeconomy #antiMAGA

The public (not me) have lost trust in science because they'll lend corporations any conclusions they want as long as they fund the research. Start by having some integrity. Oh wait, #thewest has never had integrity #shahidbolsen
