Those poor Parkland teenagers are figureheads for a bunch of gun control orgs whose ‘politics’ and language surrounding mental health is drenched in ableism and based on armchair diagnosing murderers. This was inspiring for maybe to weeks total and now I’m just distrustful and jaded again.

Oh and I just saw the video where they have these kids talmbout how assault weapons should only be used by the military and the police so That’s Definitely Over for me. That movement is dead, they’re not getting more of my time because as “intersectional” as this thing is on the surface level, them stanning the police and being a-okay with gun violence against innocent victims of the American military let’s me know this is just repackaged rhetoric I’ve heard before.

So rather than realize these teens have limited understanding of policies and politics, we should completely discredit and ignore then altogether???

It just seems like now that Tumblr has removed Russian blogs that we should be careful of posts that try to discredit progressive movements for not being perfectly up to some standard.

It’s not like they can implement any of the policies they have talked about. Most of them aren’t even old enough to vote. They didn’t come out with those statements to be internationally malicious.

There’s no reason to cancel a movement because some teens with their hearts in the right place misspoke.

Oh my god y’all. A person who didn’t read my post and didn’t realize I was talking about the gun control orgs and not the children before they wrote this long rebuttal has implied I’m a Russian bot fr.

I’ve made it.

Y’all are really about to accuse any popular Black blogger critical of anything of being a Russian bot? @staff make this person apologize to me.

Of course you don’t. Free college might hinder the school-to-prison pipeline your  prison owning donors depend on

Actual quote, in context:

“I believe that we should make community college free. We should have debt-free college if you got to a public college or university. You should not have to borrow a dime to pay tuition… I disagree with free college for everybody. I don’t think taxpayers should be paying to send Donald Trump’s kids to college.“ 

Don’t spread misinformation just to fit a narrative, Clinton is advocating for there to be a cap on who gets free college so that the government doesn’t have to subsidize the education of people with enough disposable income to pay for it themselves. The plan she’s proposing would have a better chance of being passed, is more cost-effective, and still opens up higher education to low-income individuals who previously couldn’t afford it. 

the op lagonegirl literally ended up being a russian psyop im losing my mind

This is what the fuck I’m talking about.

the above commentary is bullshit. clinton does benefit from the school-to-prison pipeline. we should be talking about this shit. you’re wasting effort by picking apart leftist criticisms from deleted blogs instead of picking apart the rhetoric of the far right. the entire country’s politics need to be pushed leftward, not towards “moderate.” the moderate position in this country is essentially right-wing. when you reblog shit like this that says that remarks in the leftist vein, written by deleted blogs, are mere propaganda and should be dismissed wholesale, you yourself are participating in political propoganda that aims to push those on the left more towards the center. the american center is right-wing, so you are participating in right-wing propaganda. jesus christ.
