It's been a year since I published LTEP. I think this is the most important thing I've ever written, and I'm glad it resonated with so many people. Unfortunately, the only thing that's changed since then is that we've learned that COVID is even WORSE.

Do I want all of these things? Yes. Should I have the option to get an apartment without some for less rent? Yes.

They will, of course, blame those of us who oppose empire with all we've got, for "giving Jews a bad name." They will subsist on a diet of revanchism and collaboration. The rest of us? Well, we'll just have to remember how to fight.

There is no "anti-Hamas left." Palestinian Marxist organizations are engaged in armed struggle alongside their comrades in Hamas, PIJ, and others. You don't know better than them, you are just a chauvinist who wants nothing but a more even distribution of the spoils of empire.

The stronger the anti-occupation Israeli left & Palestinian anti-Hamas left, the greater the likelihood of the just peace emerging that the Western left wants to see. Every time a western Hamasnik pops up, they instead strengthen the enemies of this heroic, brave I/P left.

The economic benchmark that matters to people in the lower 40% -- below the median, but still a HUGE chunk of the population -- is not the growth of the median, the mean, or even their own "growth," relative to abstract figures. It's the steady *bleed* of their economic position.

"Colonialism isn't about the settler working class" is an incomprehensible position for Marxists to hold. Do you not understand the construction of national identity as a vector of exploitation? How the nation was designed to supplant class in the public consciousness?

Bourgeois culture wants you atomized. "Protect your mental health" by distancing yourself from others, rather than helping each other grow. Alienation marketed as self-protection, so that you develop your sense of self as being implicitly divorced from social well-being.

Capitalists found a mountain of silver, enslaved the indigenous population, and replaced the silver with a mountain of corpses. For a century, it was the largest industrial site on the planet. What the Spanish named "Mountain of Riches," the Quechua call "Mountain that Eats Men."

We all know what happened next. At no point in that rapid ascent did Hitler or the Nazi party win an election on the backs of disaffected leftists refusing to vote for the "lesser of two evils." Rather, every step of the way, liberals chose fascists over communists.

It cannot be captured in snapshots of static figures, but must be tracked dynamically, with the full context of both time and the broader economy: "how the other half lives." You will often see figures showing growth across all percentiles, adjusted for inflation...

Purchasing carbon offsets is the equivalent of the "buy a star" scam. No matter how much money changes hands, no material progress toward carbon neutrality is made. Billionaires trade carbon credits back and forth, garnering praise for the purchases, while sales are ignored.

If you're a liberal, ask yourself this: "Do I want my favorite party to have more power?" If not, why do you support them? Clearly not for the things they claim to want to accomplish, if you want it to be harder for them to actually accomplish those things.

Jewish burial law dictates the following: -Z'rizut: the body must be buried as soon as possible. Waiting a day or longer is only done in extraordinary circumstances -Sh'mira: Someone should be designated to watch over the body until burial - Tahara: ritual cleansing of the body

To them, having an ideology is seen as almost *sinful*. They throw it around as a slur: "Oh, you can't trust them... they're ~ideological~!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ" They fail to recognize liberalism as an ideology; it's just "common sense." Just like creationism was once "common sense."

Liberalism is dogmatic. It mystifies phenomena and naturalizes the existing state of affairs as eternal, immutable, and causeless. History, to a liberal, is a list of bullet points: events in a sequence, with no underlying reason beyond "that's how it happened to play out."

The use of "brand" here is reflective of the liberal worldview, that any appearance of "activism" is simply a marketing opportunity, that championing a cause is simply a pathway to personal advancement. Under liberalism, there is no legitimate political project, only branding.
