Backpacking America

It's tired, it's dusty, it's old, and it's stupid. Canada is racist, imperialist, and at some points is completely identical to the US.

I talk about the racist history of Canada, and how it is identical to the US in racial policy. I also discuss how white liberals only hold on to social justice causes or movements if they offer free-college or healthcare, making the flee to Canada discourse especially problematic and brings into question their dedication to the goals of the American social and economic struggles.

The first ever BPA live stream! In this one I talk about why the corporations want you to vote Biden, and tactics to fight against fascism.

I also take questions and comments from viewers about how they can help organize there communities and there feelings regarding the election.

I take back my previous position of voting third party in the Presidential race because of a re-analysis of the present issues facing the US.

Biden winning will not make issues we face go away, but another four years of Trump will make the far-right increasingly violent and will see a further eroding of rights of exploited people and degradation of working conditions and purchasing power.

It is also important to note that the American ruling class wants Biden to win, he will bring them stability to continue making profit and endless war. This must be talked about and reckoned with. He must be ruthlessly criticized and if he wins we must hit the ground running working to establish a socialist pushback against the current ruling class.

I give an over view of ways we can resist while taking into account the movements sustainability and need to acknowledge varying level of privilege when planning this pushback.

Joe Biden and of course Donald Trump are the worst candidates to ever grace the United States. Listen to the worst things Joe Biden has done, and after that seriously consider either voting for Gloria LaRiva (PSL) or Howie Hawkins (GREEN).

SUNY Oneonta's COVID response was disappointing. Instead of taking responsibility, they shifted blame exclusively to the student body. This, coupled with Mayor Gary Herzig creating anxiety over the return of the student body, has resulted in open ended hostility and discrimination towards students.
