I think a lot of people stopped listening to the rad libs like Maddow and became disaffected from the Democrats since then. those folks are (at least around me) engaging in more radical acts of resistance than the marching-and-shouting that dominated the public actions of that time. so while buttegieg probably hasn’t shifted much, and might think he’s still talking to those same people, many of them are no longer listening.

I think his audience has shifted

2018 was a different time

tale as old as time

I didn’t see this film until the 2010s, and I couldn’t believe how accurately it lampooned my local scene.

just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s worthless, and charging for content doesn’t make it valuable

nobody is going to want to create new content when they get paid nothing or almost nothing for doing so.

that’s a lie

pkk is often discussed in anarchist circles as a model for armed resistance.

what i’m reading is that being joining the military as a trans person is a hack to get medical care. that’s universally true; a lot of poor people have considered joining the military for healthcare (and other) benefits.

but queerness is axiomatically incompatible with the US military.

it sux, for ppl who were counting on it, that the option is gone. i’m sympathetic. but, like, fuck the pentagon.

queerness should preclude military service for the hegemonic empire. if the USA were kurdistan, i’d consider a nuanced view. since we live under pax americana (whatever that’s worth), no one who is queer should be anywhere near it’s military.
