➸ Urocyon's Jaunts: A rant and a PSA all rolled into one: newsflash white activists

Oh FFS. Every political thing I’ve ever been to has the ISO trying to take over. Including a time the press was there, taking comments, and a woman from the ISO stood there waving her copy of the Socialist Worker at the camera and babbling nonsense. I was briefly involved with them, and literally their entire purpose seemed to be selling copies of their paper. When I quit in disgust, the leader said “that’s okay, you never sold any papers anyway”. They are utterly disgusting from everything I’ve seen, and they try to take any political situation or rally as publicity for themselves.
