- Reposted by Mathew OnipeA decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?
- Reposted by Mathew OnipeThis. The challenge is that people were taught *that* the nazis were bad, but not *why* the Nazis were bad. Studying Black History, Indian History, and African History, would have revealed why Hitler didn't see himself or the Nazis as bad, and the danger and rot lurking in our societies.
- 💯 this! However I’m not sure this will happen. Folks impression about the Green Party for instance is quite crappy. I try my best to educate at any chance but it feels like there’s a missing gap.
- Like you have to first understand what this whole government thingy is, what their purpose is, how they operate or how they should operate.
- I think this missing gap in how things truly work allow people to give in to the common narratives. Also these common narratives usually confirms their base bias of what to expect etc
- Looks like Annas archive is down 😔
- I hope this is not permanent.

- Reposted by Mathew OnipeRemember to check in on your champagne socialist friend with 3 rental properties and remind them that all of their gains over the last 20 years are entirely untaxed. It’s a hard time for them, but don’t let them stealth-vote National because of ignorance.

- Reposted by Mathew OnipeWhen the NZ's coalition govt took office nearly two years ago, its #WarOnNature started. In that time, they've made a bewildering number of changes leading to environmental harm. Greenpeace Aotearoa head @russelnorman.bsky.social has undertaken the gargantuan task of tracking them all👇 #nzpol
- Reposted by Mathew OnipeMore ICE analogies to understand criminal justice reform: Some of y'all still say that I am "anti-cop" and don't believe me when I say that some of my followers are current and former cops, and that they don't disagree with what I say, or get mad at me when people say "ACAB!" or "Defund!"🤷🏿♂️ Cont'd

That's holding back progress? 🙂🙃 "I want to build murder drones!" I'm a builder? "I want to build enough housing to end homelessness this decade!" Leftist? 🙂🙃

- Reposted by Mathew OnipeLol, we need the "AI" that is killing the environment and guzzling untold amounts of resources to save the environment. This is 1984 type of marketing, like "ministry of peace" that is actually the war department.

They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

- Reposted by Mathew OnipeI worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.
