Che Guevara (via lifeisliterallylimited)

vruz: bullshit. if you are willing to rob a man of his life, and you can accomodate this thought at the same time, you’re just a liar. a hard stone-faced liar. you don’t talk about the value of human life and kill people at the same time. in any case, if Guevara were right, it was not for him to say it.

che quotes capitalism

A QUOTE

The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.

A QUOTE

Take away the cash nexus and there still remains a psychological predisposition toward war and militarism on the part of the GOP. This undoubtedly arises from a neurotic need to demonstrate toughness and dovetails perfectly with the belligerent tough-guy pose one constantly hears on right-wing talk radio. Militarism springs from the same psychological deficit that requires an endless series of enemies, both foreign and domestic.

hitchens Christopher Hitchens quotes god is not great religion

A QUOTE

Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children: organized religion ought to have a great deal on its conscience

Dan Savage “Speaking of Rick Santorum” (via abaldwin360)

timekiller-s sez: I have severely mixed feelings about Dan Savage. I thought he meant well with his “It Gets Better” campaign but I abhor his transphobia. Dan Savage is very problematic and I now hesitate to reblog anything that mentions him, or anything that he said.

BUT DAMMIT HE’S RIGHT ON THE MONEY ON THIS ONE.

GOP Republicans bullies politics Quotes Dan Savage

A QUOTE

Remember when Ann Coulter apologized for her liberal-bashing books Godless, Treason, and Demonic? Or when Jonah Goldberg apologized for Liberal Fascism? Or when Michele Bachmann apologized for suggesting that the media investigate liberal members of Congress for their anti-Americanism? Or when Rick Santorum apologized for comparing same-sex couples who want to marry to Islamist terrorists who want to kill Americans?

Yeah, me neither.

Conservatives beat up, impugn, and slam liberals all the time. And conservatives make their attacks personal because their policies are unpopular and they’ll always have an easier time running on “Who you’d wanna have a beer with?” So they beat up and brutalize their opponents. Because they’re bullies. And like all bullies, they react with shock and sputtering rage when someone they’re beating the shit out of has the nerve to swing back at ‘em.

Amiri Baraka (formerly known as LeRoi Jones), in his book Blues People (via solitudinous:weexist-weresist:la-vie-est-politiques)

vruz: in a nutshell… positivism applied to human matters. making it about skin colour *only* obscures the underlaying problem: one size does not fit all. also see: anti-positivism and critical theory.

A QUOTE

But one of the most persistent traits of the Western white man has always been his fanatical and almost instinctive assumption that his systems and ideas about the world are the most desirable, and further, that people who do not aspire to them, or at least think them admirable, are savages or enemies. The idea that Western thought might be exotic if viewed from another landscape never presents itself to most Westerners.
