bacterial futurism

An ecosocialist theory of society and politics suggesting that both interpersonal interactions and large-scale human dynamics can be better understood through insights drawn from microorganisms. Since bacteria form the fundamental building blocks of life on Earth, these single-celled organisms hold immense potential—especially when considered collectively, in vast numbers.

Pessimistic about the future? Bacterial futurism has an answer! We can only get out of this situation by organizing en masse toward a decentralized, ecosocialist future.

Mr. Lynch: lol just Lynch swap 4 and the denominator x.

Zio

Short for Zionist: someone who believes that racist Jews have a right to an apartheid ethnostate. They usually defend the genocide of Palestinians on the grounds that many Jewish people support it, usually erasing people of all faiths refusing to back this terror state.

Naftali Bennett: The Palestinians can't have a state!
Normal, well-adjusted person: Man's a major Zio. They will say and do anything to secure complete Jewish supremacy to the detriment of Muslims and Jews alike. Free Palestine!
