I don't make the rules but the hottest girls make the grossest sounds.

Tactical tradeoffs in antifascism 🧵... The right has actually lifted a lot of specific tactics from anarchists and leftists. "Leaderless resistance" as opposed to fragile klan hierarchies. Ecofascist rhetoric literally pretend they were ELF. Black bloc tactics in Europe. Etc. .....

My kid bout to start school and she does not identify with her assigned gender and it's such wild cultural change that her teachers and the other students are just pretty much totally chill and used to it. 🥹

The leftist thing about the US or western world having a foundational unshakeable sin from colonialism/slavery/etc has obvious truth but I think it's worth also noting that the human desire to build high difference good faith connection is also deep in the soil and worth watering.

I get the appeal to nationalism of "these wwii soldiers are antifa" but much more exciting to me is the reality of things like a single mom working on a 10y/old laptop to expose a multi national white terror ring with her friends. And that's happening rn every day.

If you have big follower clout even when you're getting dunked at the level of correctness a mass of yr followers will just like and support all of your replies. It's clout chasing, yes men, marching orders. If your followers aren't disagreeing w u yr doing something wrong n its bad for ur brain.

I've always been Tiqqunism skeptical n also bout their "we should stop wearing all black and only listening to pink and talking in codes and become more normal and integrated and convince ppl that way" but maybe they had something. Tho all that ingroup stuff (esp theory) makes infiltration harder.

I think for some people listserves and lib protests and posting r the most dangerous political actions they've ever taken and honestly no shade, do what u will. But uhhh that's not the hand everyone is playing with so just be mindful of sweeping statements.

Sign all the protest lists u want if that's yr theory of change. But a trivial and reasonable case where you wouldn't want to is yr in a direct action crew but u still want to attend the protest without any trail. There's no need to think in extremes. Why is everyone so righteous abt listserves?

the history will continue until morale improves

All of this discourse just depends on your theory of change and threat model relative to yr actions. The mutual indignation is not really necessary imo. Platformists and insurrectionaries were brawling in Patterson bars about this 100 years ago.

The part people are missing about fbi visits for a protest list is that the issue isn't getting arrested for attending a protest. The issue is getting caught up in an enhanced surveillance network and being used against each other. Sure u can add anonymity Tor style, but that assumes yr safe.

What show/music/book/movie etc do you foist upon any new lover as part of the curriculum of knowing you?

While everything in chaos, just gonna throw this out there, punk music is horrible and anarchists should pick genres that are cooler and more current to organise around culturally.

Sometimes i see a playlist and im like damn u aight bro? (Then proceed to listen to it bc I'm also not aight)

Wish the CIA could spread some democracy in the US

It's funny how much of Trumps chaotic targeting of political opponents is all the weirdos we don't even like that much like Kimmel and Code Pink. n we're just like okay sure I guess Karl Rove is in the resistance now or whatever.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

Translating this post for my Aotearoa audience: Landlords are like, "Black mould is good for you!"

Assuming they didn't bc if they did I'm sure they'd make example of him so it seems like the story was suppressed bc he got away? It was much more clearly ideological than even like Kirk. And directly targeting the Gestapo not like podcast goebbels.

Me 🤝 @miawong.bsky.social Forcing our political followers to wade through our fanatical transbianism.

In the borderlands we didn't really have ICE we had CBP but every time I saw them felt like witnessing terrorism. if u go down to the wall in Nogales you'd see kids having a picnic across the fence w their deported father. Incomprehensible barbarism.

Anyways if you're wondering who Max Blumenthal is I wrote an enormous number of words about how he became the pure InfoWars fascist he is today Moreover, ICE must be destroyed podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Did they never catch that Korean dude who did a raid on an ICE facility and allegedly shot an agent? Like it hardly broke as a news story but seemed very News Worthy.

Funny how feudalism over but it's not uncommon for individual land "lords" to own like 20% of a city and charge dues to their serfs, I mean tenants.

My friends, end to end encryption and disappearing messages please.

If Ford Foundation, universities and the NYT are left wing terrorism idk how any liberal institution thinks they're safe enough from The Purge to comply in advance and somehow stay safe.

Trump has literally always loved political violence. They're just framing everything against them as Terrorism and everything they do as good and people/institutions are playing right into it.

Surveillance on even "private" platforms like discord that aren't actually e2e about to pop off in subpoenas and door knocks. I'm hearing it's already began just for Kirk posting. Protect your neck and such.

Okay but, many presidents did extrajudical hits? JFK tried to kill Castro a comical number of times and ways. This is obviously bad but it doesn't seem particularly 'unamerican' to me. Am I confused?

Antifa is good actually

This sucks so bad. I did 7 days on the AT as a teenager and ended at Harpers Ferry. it's such a special place and honors real abolitionist heroes.

This too is cancel culture.

Someone probably: Socratic debate is cancel culture!!! Rabbinical traditions are cancel culture!!! My mom making me move out is cancel culture!!!!!!!

The reason I made such common cause with Syrians was in part bc I saw so many commonalities between the tensions in our society. Major difference tho is that the US had civil society and somewhat free press which Assad fully repressed. But uhhhhh...

The next year in Grand juries is gonna b so intense. Lean on yr protest elders w experience.

With solar and battery innovation soaring I'm really curious where battery independence will come from. Obviously every community cannot access lithium (which has cool electron properties!) but there are many different battery substrates now.

I got so inured to it that one time this militia dude was standing around w rifle and I went up and started whispering like "hey baby I'm a transsexual n yr just my type. Youre gonna b my little b*tch." which in retrospect was extremely dumb but funny in the moment. He just straight up left.

something hard to make non-USians (or even some blue staters) understand is the sheer amount of guns at protests, on both sides! In AZ RW wannabe militia chuds would just stalk our crowds openly holding ARs. N they didn't even stress me as much as the Nazis who conceal carried.

Someone in NZ told me that Kirk was a moderate if you're wondering how the psy-op is going. America is like "I can accept racism but I draw the line at direct quotes".

I know almost everything is bad rn but we are also taking major strides towards energy independence of which the cascading effects are almost immeasurable. Cheap electricity isn't just power, it's also clean water. That alone can renegotiate so much neocolonial control.

'Kirk was a scumbag' is one of the most trivially defensible sentences in existence and it's wild that they're trying to memory hole it.

Please help me sir my economy is dying! I've tried: - tariffs against everyone - threatening war on allies - torturing and deporting all our specialized highly skilled labor Nothing is working!!!

If someone does a Snowden on unredacted Epstein files my brother I promise you will be drowning in aura.

1984 chuds sure be enjoying 1984 when they get to control it.

Politics is increasingly divided between those who are comfortable with the complex systems of modernity and those who would rather burn the world down than accept that things are complicated now.

Robert Wheldon, star of the funniest antifascist video of all time

The far-right is clearly emboldened by the murder of Charlie Kirk

My working theory is that we give conservatives a slight feeling of anxiety from sexual confusion and rather than risk opening the flood gate by processing it, they just go mechahitler. This is why among trans women we know, the most dangerous situation is when someone is attracted to you.

Not sure how to combat a cascading societal level epistemological collapse when it discredits the very things that challenge it directly.
