Really testing my faith as a non-voter, lol.

There was a brief window where fat acceptance and body positivity were entering into the mainstream, but that's all been pretty effectively undone between the success of the fascist cultural backlash and the emergence of GLP-1s,

Aside from the obvious, my favorite part was the assertion that imperial oppression is "alien to the traditions of American and Christian morality." I too have never read a single paragraph of history!

Ignoring what I think is an oversimplification of the civil rights movement, Stancil is attempting to conflate any use of violence (an already ambiguous concept) with, I guess, a war between the feds and Minnesotans. But that's not really the case and I don't know that anyone has suggested that.

"Fake-educating each other" in this case is pointing out US history rather than embracing some feel-good warm and fuzzy lie.

I really don't try to ignore Stancil because I think he's obnoxious and should simply be ignored, but Jesus Christ. ICE doesn't need a pretext. Cops don't need a pretext, they do what they want knowing people can't or won't respond. This 'they WANT you to respond with violence' is nonsense.

Migrant "detention centers" have always been concentration camps. These photos are from 2014. I made this point under Obama, and I remember people getting pretty mad at me. Well, here we are. This didn't come out of nowhere, Trump didn't invent this, he's just expanding on what was handed to him.

We all know this is what pundits mean when they say "working class" but it's still surprising to see someone say it so openly lol

The file on Scott Ritter does exist, it's just in the sex offender registry.

Thank you all for helping me raise 1.5k! We are almost 25% of the way there, I can't believe it. Truly appreciate any and all support Donate below givebutter.com/iG0zWz

'ICE beat up and kidnapped a guy but he wasn't even illegal' is idiotic framing that legitimizes ICE doing that shit to people who aren't US citizens, you fucking dope.

People in the US aren't duped by the role of ICE or the cruelty of their practices. They like it. There's no shortage of people here who happily lick boots because they're subservient little worms and seeing agents of the state brutalized people gets them off.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

Wild liberals keep trying to create a distinction between ICE and regular ol' cops as if cops haven't been doing the same shit. Have we just memoryholed cops kidnapping people during BLM protests?

Seems kinda bad that a significant segment of the Left has decided anything short of enthusiastic support for a foreign government killing its protesters is automatically an endorsement of US imperialism.

Saying this doesn't make it legally true, and in any case federal immunity isn't a magic spell that blocks 5.56.

Probably nothing to do with the left doing the same thing to mask openly misogynistic takes for years.

The US is funny because you could have a poll on whether or not we should inject everyone with ebola and 1/3 of the population would still enthusiastically support it.

An Ice official threatens to kill protesters and the Democrats' response is 'You better delete that post, Mr.!'

A few years back I was working on a little project about the importance of books-to-prisoners programs, so I emailed a group somewhere in the midwest and the lady scolded me for using the word "prisoners" but didn't give me any information or advice lol.

Woah, Robert Reich. I don't think you can just say stuff like that.

I think a pretty significant segment of the political elite have been normalizing this for regular cops for some time now.

As someone in the US the most sensible and effective action you can take in solidarity with Iranian protesters is disrupting your own government's ability to function. The primary enemy is where you're at.

Any help identifying this guy? ICE on Marshall University's campus a couple days ago.

Just an observation, but it's really easy to get winded in a gas mask.

I don't give a shit what is or isn't "Un-American". What idiotic framing.

Has anyone considered throwing rotten eggs at ICE? You ever smell a rotten egg? Gag a maggot.

"...another problem with the provocateur trope: it spreads the idea that the police need a justification to attack demonstrators and kill people…It is an absolute whitewash to claim that police even pretend to be reactive..."

Rich kid podcaster whining about provocateurs in an attempt to deligitimize militant responses. This is cop behavior.

Jesus Christ

We're gonna find you, motherfucker

Would like to add these to my modest library of anarchist literature without getting a knock on the door.

Living here is feeling insane and being treated like you are insane and being unable to convince anyone that things don't have to be this bad.

We need to make all these fuckers fear for their lives.

I've never seen commentary from Michael Parenti that struck me as even remotely insightful.

I've seen a few people arguing that 'Well akshually, there are other things that use more water than data centers 🤓' and while this is absolutely true, adding additional strain on water systems for no discernible reason other than making rich people richer is uhhh fucking bad.

Wish I had this cool chair

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Bush

For the second time this week I've seen someone use the CNT joining the government during the Spanish Revolution as proof that Anarchism doesn't work. Buddy, they still lost, how is that a gotcha?

Big fan of Elisée Reclus’ idea for a cartoonishly big, extremely detailed globe: www.libertarian-labyrinth.org/from-the-arc...

Anyway, here's some prints from the anarchist and pacifist Louis Moreau (1883-1958). He contributed to Joseph Ishill's The Oriole Press as well as some periodicals by E. Armand.

As much as internet communist like to call anything they disagree with "propaganda", it's hard not to see how defending the worst excesses of ostensibly socialist states and celebrating systems that are just capitalism painted red aren't pretty effective forms of anti-communist propaganda.

Oh, so anarchists can't address all minutiae of how a future society would operate? That pales in comparison to my political ideology (not addressing problems at all).

Saw a ML post this unironically, but these same people get mad when you say they act like a cult.

"Collaboration of pro-war anarchists [in Ukraine] with the far-right"

From earlier this year

Mangione is included in the wikipedia article on propaganda by the deed lol

Renewable energy is cool, but no one wants to admit we're simply using too much energy on stupid, frivolous bullshit.
