David Graeber called it “everyday communism.” When you care for friends because they’re human, not because of ROI, you’re already living antifascist solidarity. #AntifascistDad #EverydayCommunism #FightFascism #Friendship youtube.com/shorts/jmYiK...

McBride on Klein wasn't just elite capture. I think they share a spiritual idealism that gives their liberalism a vibe of moral and civil superiority. youtu.be/WYbjnEtCdZ8?...

Following up on #EzraKlein and the uses and misuses of Buddhism and Indian wisdom traditions. You can use this stuff for the self-project, and the bosses will love how calm you are. Or you can be like Rosa Parks and Audre Lorde. youtu.be/1CEOfQ82cak

NOT REAL: MAHA mamas accusing woke mamas of poisoning their babies with Tylenol to own Trump. REAL: Antifeminist BS that incentivizes women to police each other's reproductive value and choices on behalf of fascism. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/277-tiktok-tylenol-mallory-demille

Queer + trans freedom threatens fascist order. #AntifascistDad #FightFascism youtube.com/shorts/p86Yh...

I forgot the most important thing! "I don't know what my role is" is a DESIRABLE state of mind in white convert Buddhism. Bottom line: Klein’s Buddhist calm isn’t antifascist strategy. Detachment ≠ clarity + resistance. #EzraKlein #tanahisicoates #PodcastBrain #AntifascistDad youtu.be/_TArb0sOzZI

Grateful that Klein allowed for a very clear demonstration of his character by having Coates on. You can insist that politics is chasing sentiment, gaming out numbers & cutting deals with fascists to maintain status quo stability. Or you can know that politics is an unending struggle for justice.

Capitalism colonizes inner lives. Mark Fisher, RIP, said that it cancels the future. But sometimes I can feel that cancellation creating empty space. #AntifascistDad #FightFascism youtube.com/shorts/BYMYP...

Hey Kirk funeral chat how you doin

No notes.

I love Simone Weil. That is all. First of a two-part reflection on the French philosopher, mystic, and antifascist activist—through the lens of autism, embodiment, and political courage. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/brief-antifascist-autistic-christianity-simone-weil

My take: it's a lot easier for MAHA to blame parents or medications than to reckon with capitalism and guns. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/275-its-never-the-guns

Laundering Kirk’s project=laundering capitalism=pretending violence isn’t there until it’s undeniable. Antifascist eldership refuses that delusion. #AntifascistDad #FightFascism #ezraklein #CharlieKirk #capitalism

Hot takes, rizz, and the fascist yearning for truthy answers. New pod launches Oct. 8.

From 2023 we've lived with a media apparatus that's been happy as a dog on a bone when it came to Russian Facebook bots, but just as happy to take dictation from the ADL or IDF as though they were reliable sources. youtu.be/XpWxeiy6BXM

“The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women... If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.” — bell hooks

Manfluencers vs. Squishes. What's worse? Pushing kids towards the fash, or making them ambivalent to it? Paolo Friere said parenting, teaching, or mentorship is not about top down discipline or encouraging status quo productivity. #AntifascistDad #FightFascism #PauloFreire youtu.be/zUvFBoevtXw

Elephant Graveyard compared Joe Rogan to Marshall Applewhite and, absurdity aside, I for one wonder if the metaphor went hard enough. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/274-is-rogan-really-leading-a-death-cult

Happy Labour Day. Part 2 on Bonhoeffer's hard Christian labour of antifascism. You gotta look good on wood. Ends with some letters he exchanged with his dad while in prison, before they hung him. www.patreon.com/posts/antifa...

Bonhoeffer found the soul of antifascism in a Black church in Harlem in 1930. He arrived loyal to the white Jesus of European empire, but left loving the Black Jesus of the oppressed. Then he joined a plot to kill Hitler. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/brief-antifascist-christianity-bonhoeffer

🧵 Those who are still debating using the term “genocide” have to be on some level engaging in ghoulish speculation. Wondering aloud: “Is there something *worse* that Israel and its allies could do to the Palestinians?” And then they have to imagine what could be worse. /1
