Seeing the effects of an obviously unjust system and becoming upset over it isn't... envyPermalink On twitter.com

When I'm downtown and I see someone in a Ferrari at a red light while two houseless people almost tear each other apart fighting because they don't want to compete over panhandling territory, that makes me upset. It's not because I want the FerrariPermalink On twitter.com

Kay already did the Us take it's one of their best things youtu.be/lCmsXusmH4gPermalink On twitter.com

It's weird to say the underclass in Us represent people who blame their misfortune on those they envy. The two are actually related, by the system in the movie. The anxiety of the middle class comes from an unwillingness to recognize this systemPermalink On twitter.com

The movie is about capitalism. I don'tPermalink On twitter.com

The tangent about trans/queer women I won't comment either wayPermalink On twitter.com

So I guess where I'm at right now is I agree that, in interpersonal relationships, it's important to be able to recognize and accept envy. But societal issues are not interpersonal conflicts. They involve systems, and ideology, and widespread harmPermalink On twitter.com

Oh okay here we go the French revolutionPermalink On twitter.com

Man this is so weird like. Yes Marie Antoinette was (partly) personally responsible for upholding the socioeconomic system of the French empire. She wasn't unfairly targeted for thatPermalink On twitter.com

your brain on liberalismPermalink On twitter.com

Wait @kranasAngel she's doing the opposite point you did in the Code Geass episode. Rather than seeing the Trump/COVID thing as a glimpse into the revolutionary mindset, she sees it as human cruelty and rationalizing envyPermalink On twitter.com

Anyway watch Critical Weeb Theory and not ContrapointsPermalink On twitter.com

I hate Donald Trump and wish him terrible things because he's caused harm to countless people. I am not ashamed of this. It is good, actually. I don't need to hate him for pure or noble reasons. I changed my Twitter handle to deep state COVID and prayed for his deathPermalink On twitter.com

Socialism and anarchism don't come from slave morality. A recognition that systems cause harm isn't saying that individual powerful people are morally wrong because we can't immediately retaliatePermalink On twitter.com

man shut up communists aren't envying you they're noticing your reforms don't workPermalink On twitter.com

She's basically telling revolutionary socialists that we don't really believe what we believe. We just feel powerless and bitter and use critique to do better. Meanwhile the people really invested in change are, I guess, voting for Joe Biden? UnrealPermalink On twitter.com
-
this is garbage. I didn't think it would get this bad how the fuck did she read all that Sigmund Freud but not one revolutionary communist or anarchist to understand our frameworkPermalink On twitter.com
-
No, she had the idea that "all these commies online that I argue with are just bitter and envious" and worked backwardsPermalink On twitter.com
-
Not what the word utopian means when it comes to socialismPermalink On twitter.com

I was thinking about posting more screenshots but basically we've devolved into pretty basic anti communism. About how revolution doesn't change human nature and about how incremental reform is the real way to make the world betterOn twitter.com

she does not know what she is talking aboutPermalink On twitter.com

Guillotine bad, gulag bad, China badPermalink On twitter.com

Okay I'm ending this thread here. The reformists can keep voting and watching nothing change. The good thing about organizing is that the benefits extend even to people like NataliePermalink On twitter.com

Okay I need to unclose this thread for a hot sec how the FUCK DOES she quote HUEY P NEWTON IN HER VIDEO ARGUING AGAINST REVOLUTION?? THE BPP'S STATED IDEOLOGY WAS MAO ZEDONG THOUGHT. IT WAS IN ARMED CONFLICT WITH THE US GOVERNMENT. IT HAD DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH THE DPRKPermalink On twitter.com

HUEY P NEWTON WOULD TELL YOU TO GET FUCKED !!! you know what? I am resentful. Resentful that it's 2021 and we haven't abolished white women yet. Envious that you can just say stupid shit online and not get checked for it. Ya got me Contra, well playedPermalink On twitter.com
