    Yeah I’m not reading an article from someone who is defending Cornel West and the fucking People’s Party.

    This is Shea anyways, comrades like @absentthereaper@lemmygrad.ml can tell you of the many, many flaws in his analysis

        takes like “MLK Jr. would have hated ‘wokeism’ from the left today”

        Also the founder has serious sexual assault allegations

        quite frankly there’s more than this I just don’t care enough to look any of it up

          Came back to read over the newer posts here and holy shit does hearing that take infuriate me, considering the settlers never seem to like when you start bringing up the span of time between the I Have A Dream speech, and his eventual assassination. That span of time where he started listening to the likes of brothers el-Shabazz and Ture. That span of time that spawned the quote “in many regards, the dream that I’d had has become a nightmare”. That span of time where Dr. King started understanding that… Non-violent action, while it got in the papers, would not be enough to unravel the Gordian knot of settlerdom.

          Then he caught a bullet for it. But surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre, “MLK Jr. would’ve hated wokeism”. Ohhhhhhhkay.

            yeah, my jaw dropped when I read that tweet, I wouldn’t have even said something like that as a cringe libertarian teen, and these people are calling themselves socialist? lol

      I’ve never seen Rainer defend Cornel West. I saw the opposite.
