  1. This is what I miss the most, strong #Unionism without criminality and corruption (aka with constitutional and legal oversight).

    “Breaking people into identity groups and having them fight each other has always played into the hands of the powerful because it undermines the more material bonds of class that unite us. When trade unions were stronger, they could provide a counterpoint by driving solidarity across race and gender from the shop floor up, championing material benefits such as equal pay, universal healthcare and super. As those networks have weakened, so has that consensus.” (Peter Lewis in The Guardan

  2. Too many people in our world will cut off their nose to spite their face. #dividedwefall

  3. 🙄 Again with the hippies are bad rhetoric.

    Don't you understand "the establishment" is dividing us by weaponizing "generational differences"?

  4. Biohazard – Divided We Fall Review

    By Steel Druhm

    Biohazard are one of those bands that held my interest and affection, but only for a small window of my life (1992 through 1996). While their mean street NYC tough guy hardcore-meets-metal sound resonated with me as a dumb, loud 21-year-old, by the time I was approaching 26, it all started to feel too “try hard” and adolescent, like something I should move beyond. After that, I would still enjoy the hits from Urban Discipline and State of the World Address on gym playlists, but I rarely went back to the actual albums or sought out their new stuff. When it was announced that Biohazard had reformed the original lineup for a new album, some 13 years since the last release, I had more than a few reservations. The NYC badass schtick is a perishable one with a definite shelf life, and the idea of a bunch of dudes in their 50s shouting about curb stomping me just wasn’t a selling point. Still, the Cro-Mags pulled it off, so maybe these guys could too. I sampled the early singles, and to my surprise, they were quite entertaining. And here I am reviewing Divided We Fall against my better judgment. Can these Brooklyn goons deliver the burly goods all these years later?

    The short answer is…yes. Divided We Fall is a shockingly spry, punchy outing with catchy writing and enough testosterone to power 4 Cam Skattebos. It’s basically the album that could have followed Urban Discipline, with a collection of short, angry anthems about staying hard no matter what life throws at you. Opener “Fuck the System” sounds exactly like you’d expect. It’s enough like classic NYHC to conjure memories of Madball, Agnostic Front and crossover acts like Pro-Pain. They keep that rowdy, pissed-off tone going on bruisers like “Forsaken,” and the uber rugged “Eyes on Six,” which is one of their most catchy and entertaining tracks ever. This one stinks of BO and malt liquor, and it will hit you a pipe and dump you in the Gowanus Canal.

    Slower cuts like “Death of Me” blend well with the bouncy, classic hardcore urgency of “Words to the Wise” and “The Fight to Be Free,” and at no point does the machismo drop below mega-toxic levels. There are a few missteps though. “S.I.T.F.O.A” is too rap-centric and ends up sounding like a cross between Anthrax’s “I Am the Man” and one of the godawful raps by SNL in-house comedy act The Lonely Island. Closer “Warriors” mostly works and has cool parts, but Evan Seinfeld singing “the warriors” oh so seriously doesn’t really help. Still, 9 out of 11 tracks landing and delivering more or less vintage Bio-sounds is quite a shocker. And the band smartly keeps every song in the 3-minute window so everything motors by in a sweaty fury. The sound is what you’d expect from this kind of band, and production is credited to Jonathan DeMaio. I’ll assume that’s actually Joey DeMaio from Manowar because that’s way too fucking funny.

    Both Billy and Evan sound fine vocally. I’ve always preferred Billy’s rough bellowing, and he still sounds like he could beat your ass. On tracks like “Eyes on Six,” he sounds angry, mean, and murderous, and that’s essential for this kind of music to get over. Evan sounds like Evan, not better or worse, and he only irritates me when he tries that rappy-metal bullshit or tries to sing too much. The guitar work from Billy and Bobby Hambel is sharp and recalls the glory days quite clearly. You get a collection of very NYHC-inspired riffs designed to get you pumped up and into the pit leaping over pizza-rats and comatose hobos. The minimal embellishments work well in the songs, and I even hear traces of Prong at times, so that’s a win. This ain’t prog, folks. It’s simple, fugly noise for the mouth breathers and lunkheads, and that works just fine for me since I’m both.

    Divided We Fall has no business being as good as it is, and it’s on close to the stuff Biohazard were churning out during their peak. That means you get rough, confrontational meathead metal for those with fatty beef in their brain, and there’s a demographic for that. I can’t say I will be blasting this one way into the future, but I already moved select cuts to the gym playlist for maximum gainz. Maybe I still needed a few good curb stomps. Maybe you do too. If so, Biohazard want to say hello from the gutter.

  5. @jackhutton Why not save the U.S.A. from an oligarchs dictatorship, its sadistic violence, purges, endless wars, embezzlement, bribery, financing dictators terror, internment camps, extrodinary rendition, torture and ruin and remigrate, or better arrest MAGA? After all the 2025 is a project to create a chauvinist, racist, anti-indigenous, ableist, LGBTQ+ and immigrant hating criminal mob fuelled Fascist IV Reich for losers. Europe and the USA rejected it at WW2, now it’s time for the people do so again! Melt the ICE sadists with love, create and offer proper jobs. That means build a stronger base than the oligarchs fascist cults, to protect and serve the democratic rights of diverse interests. The many are greater than the few! #ComeTogether #DividedWeFall #FairLabour #FairPay #Inequality #Injustice #ICEGestapo #RemigrateMAGA #BillionairesFckOff #OligarchsMAGA #FascistSpawnMAGA #RunMAGA

  6. French Union #CGT refuses to participate to the genocide by loading pieces of armement ment to be deliver to #IOF

    Where are the other French Unions ? They are to afraid to displease Macron's government and the fascist state of Israel, thus being called anti-Semitic.

    Quid des autres syndicats et en particulier des carpettes de la CFDT, trop occupés à s’aplatir devant la Macronie pour garder leur statut de "1er syndicat de France".
    Trop terorisés qu'on puisse les taxer, évidemment, d'antisémitisme.

  7. @KFuentesGeorge
    It's basic human nature to want some control

    Of course, we know it is Trump who should stand down. But that shameless grifter won't, so the media has got us fighting amongst ourselves about #Biden , who as a decent human just might step down.

    It's absurd. Let's unify behind our candidate, get the narrative back on how w unfit and dangerous Trump is.

    If Republicans win, it's not because they're strong. It's because we're divided.

  8. @jonreed Yes, we are diminished when we forget our interconnectedness and interdependence.

  9. When you find someone via #SocialistSunday hashtag do more than 'just' follow and wait for a #followback. While you're on their page there's bound to be something worth a Boost; maybe many somethings. Do that before you forget. If you like most of their posts, click the Bell icon to deliver regular Boost-worthy posts. If you disagree about something, maybe ignore it. Alternative, maybe you could engage in dialogue. But whatever you do, do NOT fall out. Our enemies want/need that. #DividedWeFall

  10. Every time I see a divisive headline in the media, I think of this. It's happens a lot!
