It's frustrating how common it is to mount opposition by rhetorically depriving a target of all virtues.
Good strategy requires understanding both positive and negative, and how they interact.
"Nietzsche was an artful chauvinist" is a sharper critique than "Nietzsche was bad."
Area man utterly fails to engage with political economy as a holistic and world-historical process of matter in motion, takes to Twitter to eagerly share his pseudo-profound examination of discrete data points divorced from space and time.

Whenever Zohran equivocates on Israel, picture the NYPD there with a gun to his back
Extend that logic to Gustavo Petro and the narcoterrorists circling his government
Now consider Iran where the army is loyal and there is nary a 5th column
We must outgrow betrayal narratives
Started a reread of ASOIAF and was blindsided by the beautiful chapter that is AGOT Bran III. Tears were welling.

Michael Parenti, the path-breaking Marxist scholar, historian and political scientist, passed today at age 92
He went peacefully this morning, surrounded by his family
“Now he is in what he used to refer to as ‘the great lecture hall in the sky,’” his son, Christian, reflected
Mets fans talk about Mets fans like “you’re broke, you’re a loser, the place you’re from isn’t cool”. Like middle schoolers. Mets fans say stuff like “being a Mets fan is an abject moral failure, there is a black hole in your spirit if you support that team”.

🇮🇹 BREAKING: Italy Sees Massive General Strike in Solidarity With Gaza
Italy is seeing a powerful 24-hour general strike today, Sept. 22, as millions of workers across transport, education, logistics, and other sectors are expected to join protests for Gaza. The strike has been announced by the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) with USB, CUB, ADL, and SGB unions also participating, and demanding an end to Italian arms sales to Israel, sanctions, and a new foreign policy approach that prioritizes stopping the genocide.
➤ Trains, buses, taxis, ports, and schools are shut down across the country – with only air travel mostly running as normal.
➤ Unions are linking Gaza solidarity to broader social justice and labor demands, calling for housing investment, welfare expansion, and better workplace safety.
➤ Rallies and blockades are underway in ports of Genoa and Salerno, and also Rome, Milan, and other cities, demonstrating broad popular support for ending the genocide and backing Palestinian rights.
🚨Genoa dock workers threaten port shutdown on Sept. 22 if flotilla to Gaza is impeded -- a strike that could shut down European commerce.
