The 1%, meanwhile, got richer. Even proposing ways to fix this is a sin, for liberals, conservatives and reactionaries.

Woah.
No, no. You guys don't understand. I know you don't understand. Check this out:
1-Year drop in GDP 2020: 9.5%
1-Year drop in GDP 1930: 8%
This is worse than the great depression. Objectively. This is not """"the worst since the great depression""""" this is, by all accounts, worse than the great depression. This one year GDP drop can get sharper because it's literally only July. Over THREE years, the deepest the Great Depression got to was 15%. IN 6 MONTHS THE GDP HAS DROPPED SHARPER THAN THE GDP DROPPED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION. And, it should be noted, we have an entire apparatus of state printing money and insuring bad assets.
Finally, we can say with certainty that the sky is falling. Let's capitalize on this, friends.

Hiya all,
I'm a Queer, autistic, anti-zionist Mizrachi Jew hailing from Israel. This month, I'm in big trouble: I don't have enough to cover the costs of my therapy, medicine, or electricity. I don't want to go into a situation where I have to choose between these things; they are all essential. I'm on my own too, with my parents being quite neglectful of my situation and abusive.
Therapy is usually free here, but because of long-waiting times, I had to seek private treatment, this means I'm paying a lot. Electricity usage has also spiked this month because of several heatwaves impacting the Middle East.
I'd appreciate any donation, no matter how small, as it will make a big difference in helping me afford to live.

Thank you! <3

Watching people be upset about identity politics is hilarious. Guess what shitheads, literally every political ideal originates from identifiers. If you’re a fundamentalist Christian, and you don’t want abortion to be legalized because you see it as something that’s against your religion, you’re using your identity to inform your politics. If you’re a worker and you believe you should be paid more for your work, you’re using your identity as someone who makes little money to influence your political views. These people are generally deep in the core reactionaries, whom have adopted disillusion of capitalism, but haven’t adopted leftist identity politics. Thus leaving them in the broken dumpster fire no-folks-land of the economic left, social right.
Those people can get straight fucked right out of here.

This noscript We Are Antifa is a response to Donald Trump’s declaration that the United States will be designating Antifa a terrorist organization. This makes no sense because Antifa is not an organization; at its most basic it’s a term given to anyone who opposes fascism. Therefore, we are Antifa and we are terrorists.
This is perhaps the most dangerous comment Trump has yet made, his public declaration that he is a fascist. Already, it’s had huge effect. On-the-ground protesters and activists are now saying that FBI is interviewing arrestees regarding their connection to “anti-fascist sentiment.” On June 3, an opinion piece by Republican senator Tom Cotton was published in The New York Times calling for the deployment of the military in order to dominate dissenters. Two days before this, Cotton declared on Twitter that protesters should be killed: “No quarter for Insurrectionists.”
This is where we are now: a fascist calls for the murder of protesters and gets an op-ed in the Times while out-of-control police roams the streets terrorizing and brutalizing peaceful protesters. Trump himself had peaceful protesters tear-gassed and beaten outside the White House on live TV in a brutal warning to Americans that he has the police and military behind him, that he will use lethal force, and that dissent will be crushed. The danger of all this can’t be overstated: not only has fascism arrived in the United States—it’s winning.
