"Men and women ... do you not realize that the State is the worst enemy you have? It is a machine that crushes you in order to sustain the ruling class, your masters. Like naïve children you put your trust in your political leaders. You make it possible for them to creep into your confidence, only to have them betray you to the first bidder. But even where there is no direct betrayal, the labour politicians make common cause with your enemies to keep you in leash, to prevent your direct action. The State is the pillar of capitalism, and it is ridiculous to expect any redress from it." ~ Emma Goldman

ML is kinda libshit in practice

Thank you for making space to say Sonya Massey's name. Her murder this summer was the moment that felt like it clicked my brain open and i decided that there wasnt a single thing about to change, no matter who was running for the Democrats. It felt like her death went by like a whisper, as if the tragedy of it wasnt enough to take to the streets as I expected. I don't want to be part and parcel to anyone who's running for a party that wont listen to the people that are trying to save lives. I don't want tax credits in exchange for more arms deals and fracking??

I don't know why I'm only seeing this 8 days later when I've got the bell turned on for your channel, but I did see that they change the algorithm every quarter so if anyone else is wondering why their stuff isn't showing up right, that's a likely culprit. Thank you for your work, comrade!

I stopped voting after reading Emma Goldman.

If you aren't voting for Trump, then you aren't voting for Trump. If you also aren't voting for Harris, that doesn't suddenly change that. If you didn't vote for a candidate, you aren't responsible for them winning. You literally didn't vote for them.

MOTÖRHEAD “ACE OF SPADES” LP in the background? We’re good good friends. SUBSCRIBED.

I respect people’s decision to cut off problematic artists. I just don’t think people who like Drake’s music can be categorized as the same people that defend his actions.

Honestly I didn't like Kamala from the beginning just cause I know she sent a bunch of people to jail, people who look like her, and fought to keep them locked up for small drug crimes. At a disproportionate rate to whites. Like she was literally a bad prosecuter and were just like yeah president material. Then to see her just go from lets stop fracking and help move forward in the EV revolution to nah lets get as much oil as possible. You cant vote for trump for obvious reasons but you cant vote for her for obvious reasons. Even the boondocks cant help me, cant move to canada they started getting maga infested.

And liberal voters will cheer for that abuse, just eat it up. It's really sad and disappointing.

The cheek highlights 😂😂

So glad I found your channel. All the best with your efforts.

facsim isn't "coming", it's always been here in its primeval form of colonialism

As a non American this was really interesting.

*Really good content!* Lots for me to learn here!

I wanted to leave a comment yesterday addressing the video but after seeing the young girl singing in the rubble, i just started weeping and had to come back today and finish this. And I am glad that I did. One of the most important things I’ve learned about oppression(feminism) is the concept of the kyriarchy and how intersecting systems of power and domination perpetuate these injustices. Patriarchy isn’t just about male dominance; it’s a structure that normalizes violence and, as you’ve tied so well together here, genocides. These systems teach society to tolerate oppression, and when violence is accepted in our homes and communities, it inevitably escalates into the most extreme forms of dehumanization. This country elected a man who associated with a known sex trafficker. It’s the same country that accepted Jerry Seinfeld dating a 17-year-old because Seinfeld was ‘too good’ to be questioned. People often cling to tradition, gaslighting, and perpetuating abuse because it gives them a sense of power and identity within an oppressive system. Rather than reclaiming their own power by challenging and dismantling these structures, many end up reinforcing them. It’s easier for some to uphold the very systems that harm them than to face the uncertainty of change. America, as you’ve said, is a deeply traumatized nation-riddled with mass trauma that manifests in cycles of violence, control, and fear. Until we confront these collective traumas and dismantle the systems that uphold them, the cycle will only continue. FOR THE Ⓐ ALWAYS ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info.

I needed this😅 Thank you🎉Your Amazing

THANK-YOU Lucretia, your sharing is always sacred medicine to me and does the mind, body, and spirit sooooo damn good! Your videos are so well crafted and put together. I'm so grateful you exist and how you choose to live your life. There is way too much evil and intentionally ruthless shit happening, a very old story repeating itself for certain. You help to foster and encourage my sense of hope, truth, benevolence, humor, possibilities, evolution, compassion, sense of adventure, and curiosity. In deep appreciation, always.

Thank you for making this

1:27 you're three years older than me, making you in the YOUNGER third of the Millennial demographic.

Loved it! Point by point. The lady with the shaky camera was really intense and on point. My only suggestion is that people need to understand that medicare for all is NOT the same thing as universal healthcare. Medicare doesn't pay for your medicine or medical bills. It SLIGHTLY decreases some of the bills, but nowhere near as much as they are inflated. It still leaves the sick and vulnerable behind. That, if I'm remembering correctly, is why I never had a great opinion of Jill Stein. As a physician, she has no excuse for not knowing that. But omg, great takes otherwise! Congrats on reaching 9k!

Lucretia posts I click immediately

watching this video while reading bell hooks’ teaching community. i’m joining a mutual aid group in my city and helping my friend start another one. after protesting for awhile, i realized that the most important spaces are the ones we create for each other. building momentum, community, intellect, critical thinking, and ways through poverty through mutual aid is my main focus now and its really fulfilling so far. thank u for everything u do!!

Good video. And your voice is mesmerizing!

Well, I’m going to talk to you about fascism, because here is my problem with you so-call anarchist declarations. Nothing you said about Kamala Harris is wrong except what the hell do you all plan to do if Trump gets an office? There are two parties running. Not one. Two. And are not voting for Kamala People. Cool. And you’re not going to vote at all. Excellent. But you are all focusing on one party and when we ask, “what are you going to do about the other party?” There’s always silence in the desert. You’ve punished the Democrats. Good for you. So what happens after? While I agree that both of them would be horrible on Gaza and Palestine. One has said his absolute intention is to have Netanyahu “finished the job.” The sistah in the clip said “Don’t talk to black women about fascism.” And yet that’s precisely what the right-wing has in store. So I ask again, what’s the great strategy for that?

I love this video title. It’s very spot on. Yes we’re in a very abusive relationship that we refuse to leave because we suffer from PTSD or Stockholm syndrome. Democrats knew for years how bad Joe Biden’s mental health was but I think they waited till the last minute to get rid of him because they didn’t want any other choices in the Presidential seat other than Kamala, Kamala wasn’t nominated by the way. She was appointed by her controllers

I feel like her Bish. And not the Bottom Bish. Just one of her/his many many Bishes. 😢

Great Video👍

Excellent commentary, I admire your hard work on ethical positions.

I promise I’m taking the video seriously but I have to ask… did you put a highlighter filter over some of the media clips? If so, I’m guessing that’s for copyright rules and not artistic expression. Regardless, adds a nice touch.

Vote Blue No Matter What They Do This is the state that democrats are in, and it’s extremely revealing of how privileged the labor aristocracy is in the United States. That they will continue to put the supposed ideals of American lives over those of actual real life dead Palestinian children means that things still have not gotten bad enough in the imperial core for there to be a big enough wake-up call among the general population. Thank you for this video comrade.

Excellent video as always. Happy to see a radical and especially an anarchist actually talking about this.

I think people need to stop looking at voting as something capable of causing significant, long-term, systemic change; because we know it won't. It never has. The best it can do is damage control. All _real_ change, throughout history, has come from direct action and, yes, bloodshed. Voting is not "validating" or "condoning" the system because the system does not need our validation, it does not need us to condone it. It already has all the power, and demonstrates that fact every single day. And the system loves it when people don't vote, because that just reinforces the status quo. To me, voting is not meaningless, since we've seen it _can affect_ the system, albeit only in small ways. But I don't understand people who refused to do even that; and I have to ask, what else are you doing? Voting only takes a few hours at most, every couple years. What, besides loudly refusing to vote, are you doing the rest of the time to change the system? You can't demolish the master's house with the master's tools, but you can still break a few windows. I will continue to vote, to do what little damage control my vote makes possible; and the rest of the time try to support more effective direct-action movements for fundamental change.

I actually feel a wave of relief hearing you speak facts after a long time spent on... significantly less nuanced parts of the internet. once one can see the pattern, it's very exhausting and desperating to realize how tragically invested people are in systems of oppression that directly go against their interests.

We can't stop talking about these issues, we can't let up. right now we can still use the platforms to apply meaningful pressure... at the same time, we can't be blaming and shaming our neighbors. Educate and try to show patience... though I'd never judge some good old fashioned righteous indignation, if it's properly focused. Also, don't give up on promoting the facts that offend, that's not the same as shaming and blaming. Please, remain willing to accept those (regular people) who are willing to listen or are open to change. 15 years ago, I was a libertarian. Then I was homeless for a year. 10 years ago I didn't know that Israel is an apartheid state Then I read Ilan Pappe Education and experience can make a difference. Don't let up on the pressure towards those with power.

This video is so cathartic. There’s been this wide swarth of people doing full blown centrism (both sides are bad for Israel and Palestine) or genocide apologia (if we don’t secure our rights here in America we can’t help Palestinians) and it’s been equal parts nauseating and enraging to witness. There have BEEN people doing activism, BEEN organizing, BEEN working to divest from the system. To ignore their efforts validates fascism, and the fact that the struggle has always been a thankless, but significant job nonetheless. Relying on the crumbs from a capitalist, imperialist country that would love to hoard even those is asking for a subdued suffering. Not a halt to the suffering. It’s disheartening, but not surprising to see that genocide is not a general amount of people’s red lines. If someone’s lives have to get sacrificed, be it in Congo for the minerals that make this phone, be it for Sudan that has their gold get plundered, be it for Palestine, just so I as an American can have rights? That’s just fascism. We can have a better world. I think video essays like yours, or Prince Shakur, or Annasi’s Library, or Andrewism, these kind of works are what will help propel us forward. Thank you.

Baby please I've changed. I'm not as bad as orange man. Also I still refuse to try universal healthcare. -Democratic party

The opening with Meet the Grahams was inspired. Lucretia McEvil don’t MISS. Hope all is good in your world beautiful smart amazing person!!!!

If the ab*ser in this analogy in the president of the US, you're not 'removing yourself' from them by not voting, because you still live in the US. And frankly the rest of the world knows even if you live anywhere, given the US is the largest military in the world, you also are not removed. So they will still be in your life, no matter what. As a woman with a medical degree, Kamala gets my vote because she will save hundreds of thousands of lives of pregnant women that will be lost if Trump is in office and continues to take away the right to choose. It's not about some lives mattering more than others. It's about what lives can our actions plausibly save. And a vote for Kamala will save American women's lives, while sitting it out will not save 🍉

I've been waiting for someone to use that meet the grahams sample in a context like this lol

Had me at the title alone!

You got a Patreon?

That's why people who are excited for the election are delusional whether harris or trump the destruction of thie planet and funding of war crimes and human rights atrocities as well as the reinforcement of the authoritarian militarized state at the expense of human liberties and the deaths of marginalized people will continue unabated, great video!

Crazy that anyone is riding this hard for DRAKE of all people.

Vote blue no matter who has always been a terrifying line to me, because it implies there is no limit to how far right both parties can move as long as unthinking voters continue to believe they are voting "progressive". Democrats are not leftists, they are tools of power being used to maintain the current structure.
