A small business owner who voted for Donald Trump recently posted a video on TikTok, pleading for help as crushing tariffs on China threatened to bankrupt his operation, which imports alloy wheels. His call for support, however, drew little sympathy from some fellow Americans.
“Votes have consequences,” he was told, with many comments from Twitter/X users relishing the notion that another MAGA voter was suffering because of their political choice. The backlash prompted a second video from the man, in which he dropped several F-bombs while criticizing the apparent heartlessness of those celebrating his hardship.
Yeah, I’m an anarchist too, and I have a pretty decent understanding of the Black Panther Party, though I thought they were dissolved in the 80s. Were you active in the Black Panthers back in the day? Has it become active again? I’m genuinely very curious about what you meant and I’d appreciate more information.
What’s the connection between this org and the black panthers? and when you said that you’re a black panther, what part do you play in this organization?
edit: lol, I just realized on their website it says they’re “veteran led”… linking this org to the black panthers in any way is a fucking insult to the black panthers
Feeding, sheltering, and antifascist praxis.
Tis why I can praxis black anarchism.
I am educated enough to know others can’t be educated, thus settled on vanguardism somewhat.
So is there no actual connection to the black panthers, beyond doing some similar stuff?
Also, holy shit, saying people can’t be educated because of learning disabilities/mental health is a fucking horrible thing to say… I don’t like calling people fake leftists, but holy shit, you have a LOT to learn, my god.
Wait, are you denying learning disabilities do not exist?
No. I’m disabled and I am involved in a local group of disability advocates. I am saying that you are being ableist. People with learning disabilities can absolutely learn, they can be educated, they can understand solidarity and all the rest.
Great that we agree then.
Fascists want to kill the disabled.
I want to vanguard the disabled. I am just perfectly aware fascists don’t want to give us the opportunity to educate them. In our case, a second time.
