No, I’m not okay for the rest of today…
This absolute hell spawn of a man raped me, assaulted me, hit me, and threatened me with suicide throughout our relationship and you’re telling me he’s going into politics and govt?? How???
I introduced him to politics; he knew nothing of it when we met, and it was through me becoming a socialist (Marxist), anti-imperialist, and staunch anti-Zionist that he got exposed to politics. I constantly talked about dismantling the American empire, liberating our homeland, freeing Palestine, and how imperialism and capitalism are bipartisan policies of the US.
Tell me why he’s a hardline democrat that published an entire article saying that the killing of a certain white supremacist (the same incident that led to the TheDeprogram Reddit exodus…) was incredibly wrong and that calling politicians “fascists” is wrongful incitement of violence, and condemnded any threats to Trump and said that the real threat to democracy isn’t Trump or various white supremacists or politicians, but is actually radicals who think political violence is okay
Tell me why he’s already published a book about abortion rights for women, as if this dude didn’t assault me multiple times and sexually abuse me
Tell me why he’s a lobbyist and is so painfully obviously climbing the ladder in politics and govt and remaining entirely silent abt imperialism and Zionism
I feel like I’ve been kicked in the ribs again and again, how could he take a turn like this when his first exposure to politics was through me showing him photos of dead Palestinian children and raging about Israel??
He’s doing incredibly well in life and getting so many treats for being political, while I’m continuing to fight an uphill battle and relentless repression and persecution…I’m so exhausted and just completely drowning in grief and burnout through all my political work, while I’m getting hounded systemically and institutionally, and this guy just gets to be praised
Do you have any texts from him that could incriminate?
He’s an opportunist- an exploiter through and through. He’d be a republican right now if they weren’t slated to be in the dump for a little while.
I need to submit that I was initially tempted to make some sort of low hanging joke “par for the course in regards to poli sci students” or “he’ll fit right in with the other dems” but beyond inappropriate these jokes reveal what we all know: His type are well rewarded by capitalism.
He’ll likely continue to do well, continue to climb. Or he’ll find some other career path well trot by others who exploit and compete the way we’re all incentivized to.
None of this is an excuse for him, and I’m sure you know it better than I. But I felt that it might be worth reiterating to emphasize that it’s not your fault.
It’s better not to compare yourself but if you must, find comfort in knowing that the work you do builds genuine relationships while he is in a race with no finish line (unless aspiring to be like Kirk) surrounding himself with other exploiters in what can only be the beginning of a hollow-unfulfilling life.
