Liberal trans women… stop. Radicalize. c’mon. We ain’t going nowhere by praising Laverne, Caitlynn, Manning, etc.

Celebrities help but tbh, the last three examples are kind of a poor element to pick from. Chelsea did suffer a lot for exposing war crimes (something she shouldnt have been arrested for, she was doing good). Laverne is just bathing in money by tokenizing herself and selling out. She’s an amazing actress, but she’s a capitalist after all. Caitlynn, well. She’s anti gay marriage and supports Trump, what else can I say.

Laura Jane Grace is a great icon, but as much as I love her, we have to stop idolizing trans women. I know, i feel so connected too, but it keeps pushing the idea of “oh trans people = money” by corporations, networks and the rest.

Look at pride for fucks sake. It started as a riot, expanded as a parade of celebration; and now it has fucking sponsors like banks, law firms, etc. By not radicalizing, we let the system use our identities as merchandise for the curious. Or in the other spectrum, to cause outcry therefore making more money.

Same goes to pop feminism. Fuck Hillary (Warmongerer), Fuck all the “feminist” actresses promoting non intersectional feminism (and being terfy at times). That’s how we get Laci Green’s.

LIBERALISM ALLOWS FASCISM AND IMPERIALISM TO SPREAD.

Get fucking Laverne, Chelsea, and Laura’s names out of your mouth, and dont you dare compare them to laci green, caitlyn jenner, or hillary. Like, in what universe does this make sense???

Look, you don’t seem like a bad person. Your heart is in the right place even if your head is up your ass. But you need to understand that accusing everyone of being liberals with…seemingly no sense behind it.

Chris Hedges on America entering the “Trump Phase” of late capitalism

On the one hand, it’s the end of capitalism. On the other hand, it’s taking us out with it.

[Caption: a gifset of Chris Hedges at a podium saying, “The final stages of capitalism, Karl Marx predicted,  would be marked by global capital being unable to expand and generate profits at former levels. Capitalists would begin to consume the government, along with the physical and social structures that sustain them. Democracy, social welfare, electoral participation, the common good, and investment in public transportation, roads, bridges, utilities, industry, education, healthcare, and the protection of the ecosystem would be sacrificed to feed the mania of short-term profit. These assaults would destroy the host. And this is the stage of late capitalism that Trump represents.”]

[Caption: Gifs from Community. Craig motions with his hand and says, “Abed, you’re special. Can’t you just stand at the scene of the crime and see what happened?” Abed says, “I see a man…Using a social disorder as a procedural device.” Abed looks around the room as he continues, “Wait, wait, wait. I see another man. Mildly autistic super-detectives everywhere. Basic cable. Broadcast networks. Pain. Painful writing. It hurts.” Abed then walks out of the room.]
