@jwildeboer @_mosso That's one way to look at it. That period was way before my time, so I have to judge it through the coloured lenses of history.
In any case: people nowadays should be focussing on standing & working together to promote & defend "common" decency, respect and rights.
The oligarchs will not do it for us.
Personally I don't care if someone is "left", "right", black, purple, gay, trans whatever.. if we can have a respectful chat & work together, that's enough for me.
🧵Reports suggest Biden intends to pardon Dr. Fauci, arguably one of the most notorious criminals in human history.
In this thread, I will present evidence proving he was a gaslighter and a key player in the plandemic, fully deserving to spend the rest of his life behind bars.⬇️
…we can’t address climate breakdown because we have the wrong incentives.
Caring more about something we’ve made up (money) than what we’re made of will go down in history as the biggest collective mind fk in history.
In parallel to antibiotics that once worked becoming redundant (also in the news this morning), the worth of the vast pools of capital ‘looking for a return’ will evaporate https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/112042715978488637
If Kamala Harris taps Tim Walz for VP & they win, then Peggy Flanagan becomes Minnesota's Governor, & would be the first female Native American governor in US history.
In US HISTORY!
In 248 years we've never had a female Native American Gov. This can be a critical step forward.
Struck by Jane McAlevey quote from 2021:
"Winning a new New Deal will require the same level of power to create a real crisis for the elite in 2021 and 2022—just as workers did from 1933 to 1935."
Profoundly disingenuous reading of history.
In the prior five years, unemployment had gone from 3% to 25%. The Harlan County War had been 1931; the Anti-Injunction Law passed in 1932*; yet union membership was at a nadir.
* The result of what McAlevey calls "advocacy"—rather than "organizing".

That richesse rested *entirely* on the kidnapping of black peoples from Africa & the theft of their labor via slavery, an institution maintained by the governments of white colonizers. Haiti's Revolution was the largest revolt of enslaved peoples in history.
In response, the Revolutionary government of France abolished slavery. When Napoleon took over & declared himself "First Consul"/emperor he reinstated slavery specifically to try to force the citizens of Haiti to pay France's/his debts.
