#CarnivalRow It hurts to have to recommend #Amazon. Jeff #Bezos undoubtedly belongs to the #evil #empire. But there are also alternatives to #AmazonPrime. You can take them into consideration.
The series "#CarnivalRow" is definitely worth a recommendation. It deals with topics such as #racism, #xenophobia and #colonialism. Given the shift to the #farright that is going through the world as a result of #Covid, this series is #politically more #topical than any before. My favourite scene...

"It's not over, it's just not yours anymore."

Given its full context, within the story and broader reality when it was released, I believe that's the most underrated devastating line in the history of #cinema.

Probably not for the relatively too few who've seen it, but because too many haven't.

#TheGirlWithAllTheGifts, 2016, #DirectedBy #ColmMcCarthy

Much more than a #horror #movie, a #politically and #socially relevant #film that's a still-timely work of #art.

Speak your #truth, but be #politically #correct as it's very easy for you to be labelled as an *ist even though you are factually correct.

I am struck by the similarities in the construction of “degenerating” situations in both cities, by racially and economically #marginalized young men of #immigrant origin. These discourses of disorder and pathology attributed to these young “migrant” men end up #socially and #politically justifying the desire for “order” by state #interventions of any kind- Shreya Parikh.

"When people keep telling you who they are—again and again—take them literally and seriously, and stop #whitewashing it as “economic anxiety.” It’s #racism, which is the feature, not a bug, of the modern #GOP.

The #conservative movement realizes it can no longer #politically afford to cast off white nationalists because they are part and parcel of their #constituency."

"hey writers if you want to make a metaphor for #racism, please maybe remember that racism is literally based on nothing. #Africans weren’t enslaved en masse because the Robo-Musa threatened to destroy the #world, they were #enslaved because it was #economically rewarding and #politically convenient. If at any point your allegory for racism includes “so <#oppressed #group> did this major #catastrophe and” then you have not only missed the point but you are literally reinforcing the #ideas that racism have let racism self-perpetuate (that e.g. black #people are naturally dangerous and violent and must be contained or begrudgingly accepted by the Nice White People)"

Yes, everything is #politics, everything is #political. Trying to avoid politics does not make you safe.

Being #politically aware, well-informed, and consistently active are our only hope for our individual and collective safety.

Choosing to disengage is cowardly surrender, and does exactly what the oppressors want, making you another one of their tools.

It's ok to rest and recharge, it's not ok to put the full burden on others; that's complicity.

@VirginiaEubanks and @JohnGMcNutt:

Can either of you shed any light on this question?

I.e., do #UpwardlyMobile people become more #politically #conservative as they age, while #DownwardlyMobile people become more politically #progressive?

👴 💯  #Anziani, #vecchi, terza età. Alla fine sembriamo ridurci solo al problema dell'etichetta più #politically correct, e ultimamente sembriamo bravi a mancare il bersaglio per fissarci su inezie. Perché, mi pare, che l'anzianità rientri proprio in questo falso approccio al problema. Come si trattano davvero gli anziani, intendo, e come gli anziani sono portati a pensare a loro stessi?

@nemesis I think it's not due to #democracy but the fact that #ignorant and #illiterate (espechally #politically & #technologically) are ultimately deciding.

The #EducationSystem solely teaches skills to maximize #exploitative gains and #productivity of #Wageworkers...

It's the only reason why the government actually runs schools: Because somewhat literate people make more taxable income.

@Jaden2 what saddens me is reading this from you.

18 years old and representing the new/next #generation of #leaders and it sounds as if you've lost all hope.

Not that I disagree mind you, I have little hope in #Australia #politically speaking because there's no one to teach kids #critical #thinking which I'm #assuming is an issue for you guys as well.

I hope you find something to trust in and #believe in and offer to others as some sort of hope for the future but until #guns are not available to every moron with a bone to pick, I feel your pain.

@Remittancegirl On this, I’m sometimes disturbed by what comes from the seemingly malign #RichardDawkins Foundation (RDF) - imo, a sort of neo- #rationalism (not altogether out of synch with #AynRand’s #Objectivist diatribe). However RDF do a lot of very practical work making learning materially accessible to #regime and/or #politically #oppressed #women. And that is a marker set down for modern comfy universities to follow. (I stress, I have no axe to grind with Richard Dawkins’ #biology.)

FOLLOW BACK WOULD BE APPRECIATED.THANKS

@eleventyone salut! Thanks for the follow, and to all my new #followers and #boosters.

We can only be the change we want to see by active #collectively and #organizing #politically. I'm particularly thinking of #CanadianPolitics and #OnPoli, but the message is the same across the world.

We are all a #humanrace first before we are #politically divided. We do not need to conquer anything. Lets regain our humanity and put a stop to global intolerance and world power. Lets help one another. Its better to be friends than enemies. Peace to all fellow #humans. We need each other and I definitely need you.
