  1. I believe all #religion is made up by men to #oppress #women. if that offends you dni 💗

  2. 2/ #China is barely getting to middle-income status and yet is already transferring vast amounts of #wealth and #technology to other #poor #nations. Will it #oppress? Will it share?

  3. #Procreation is not a neutral act, it feeds both #patriarchy and #capitalism, strengthening the very #systems that #oppress and #exploit us. In this #world filled of inequality, environmental collapse and systemic violence, choosing not to reproduce becomes an act of #resistance. Refusing to bring new #life into this broken #society is not only a rejection of #oppressive institutions, but also a deeply #moral stance. Fight back. Choose non reproduction.

  8. Strongman rule is a fantasy. 
    Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. 
    He won't. 
    In a democracy, elected representatives listen to constituents. 
    We take this for granted, and imagine that a dictator would owe us something. 
    But the vote you cast for him affirms your #irrelevance
    The whole point is that the strongman owes us #nothing
    We get abused and we get used to it. 

    Another illusion is that the strongman will unite the nation. 
    But an aspiring dictator will always claim that some belong and others don't. 
    He will define one group after another as the enemy. 
    This might feel good, so long as you feel that you are on the right side of the line. 
    But now #fear is the essence of life. 
    The politics of us-and-them, once begun, never ends. 

    We dream that a strongman will let us focus on America. 
    But dictatorship opens our country to the worst the world has to offer. 
    An American strongman will measure himself by the #wealth and #power of other dictators. 
    He will befriend them and compete with them. 
    From them he will learn new ways to #oppress and to #exploit his own people.

    At least, the fantasy goes, the strongman will get things done. 
    But dictatorial power today is not about achieving anything positive. 
    It is about #preventing anyone else from achieving anything. 
    The strongman is really the weak man: his secret is that he makes everyone else #weaker

    Unaccountable to the law and to voters, the dictator has no reason to consider anything beyond his own personal interests. 
    In the twenty-first century, those are simple: 👉 dying in bed as a billionaire. 
    To #enrich himself and to stay out of #prison, the strongman dismantles the justice system and replaces civil servants with loyalists.

  16. His time in the #Senate had left Romney worried—not just about the #decomposition of his own political party, but about the fate of the #American project itself.

    …“A man gets some people around him and begins to #oppress & #dominate others,” he said…. “It’s a testosterone-related phenomenon, perhaps. I don’t know. But in the history of the world, that’s what happens.” America’s experiment in self-rule “is fighting against human nature.”

  17. "but if you're pro-union, why are you anti-cop-union?" because #cops are not #laborers. what cops do is not #labor. they are #enforcers of the #laws that #oppress laborers and exist solely to protect capital. don't bother me with #stupid #questions.

    What frustrates me about our adulation of these #billionaires is that we treat their ideas as new and innovative without any critical thought. #CompanyTowns have been used to #oppress workers for centuries.

  25. @grumpygrimnir @mehdihasan

    Agree 1000%. #Twitter #destruction helping enable those who want to #oppress the masses.

    But people can regroup and go elsewhere online, and also redevelop other non-online ways of organizing.
