    I was on Twitter for a month during the Floyd uprising when left Twitter was doing the whole “no comrade under 1k” thing. I got up to 1500 followers, I think. I ended up deleting my account because I, someone with no identifying information in my bio or any of my posts, was accused of “whitesplaining” because I told a black woman that Fred Hampton was very much a socialist. It was my ultimate:doomer: moment. Words mean nothing, history means nothing, they’re just rewriting the lore to suit the neoliberal agenda.

      I fucking hate neoliberals’ appropriation of antiracism, antisexism, gay rights, etc. with the boiling fury of ten thousand suns
