I didn’t know Kamala Harris believes housing is a human right, is pro-union, anti-war, anti-racist, pro-lgbtq, pro-education, pro-kids (whatever that means) and wants to protect bodily autonomy! Wow, she sounds amazing!
Calling Kamala Harris anti-war is one of the most unhinged shit I’ve ever heard. This whole post is just so condescending, my god.
On one hand- yes, definitely. And education, of people like this especially, is important and will always be.
On the other hand, the barest minimum of human decency (in the face of industrial genocide) is on the table here, and she’s rejecting it. Does she need education? Absolutely, and if I were speaking to her that would be the primary focus. But all the same, fuck her and the horse she rode on in and she most certainly deserves exactly what she’ll get.
The working class can be lied to and exploited, yes. And the “labor proletariat” fighting for their table scraps at the expense of everyone else is nothing new, either. The education is out there, and even without education the call to the most basic principles and common humanity is out there and should be out there to anyone who sees what is going on in Gaza- I can’t claim that I have sympathy for her as a result even though I understand where she’s coming from; countless far less educated (or even outright illiterate), far more disenfranchised people than her- including of her own fellow USians have chosen the right side of history (and at immense personal cost, or sometimes well beyond even that), and this is her rejecting it (though it does not have to be a permanent thing- people can change, and our ability to change is incredible) and going so far as to support the opposite, reluctantly or not.
We can and should reach out. But by all means, I would even go so far as to say it’s a good thing she’ll get hers, and she will continue to get hers (and it won’t be from us) until she learns her lesson or dies from it. Thankfully, the rest of humanity has built up the material conditions necessary to resist, and the order that she and millions like her constitute (as reluctant cogs, maybe, but ultimately willing and understanding cogs in the machine of genocide) is coming to an end one way or another. She and her ilk can either get with the program (something which does not even require education- though it certainly helps and shows there never was any other real option to begin with) or get out of the way.
