If y'all see me post something up here and it suddenly disappears, that's usually me.

I'm very much a borderline perfectionist when it comes to writing.

Doesn't help either when there's no edit button so I can't fix glaring text errors.

So, that said, please accept my apologies if I delete posts.
Electorialism is worse than traditional organized religion.

Errico Malatesta said we need to despise and distrust ANYONE who holds a government office.

Smooth talking Canuck politicians like Carney don't get magical exemptions just cause they do good speeches at big capitalist meetups.
Everyone is quick to celebrate a hero the moment someone presents a glimmer of that possibility. It’s worth tempering the enthusiasm by noting that Carney mentioned lowering taxes on capital gains, increasing defense spending, & mining in more places. It was Davos and he’s of Goldman Sachs pedigree.

It's pretty amazing how most of the stopped clock positions "an"caps hold onto are basically just positions that individualist anarchists have.

Which, coincidentally, is actually why it became so easy for me to make the transition from an "an"capper to a black flag anarchist.

It's worth noting the chief reason Leon Czolgosz did kill William McKinley was because the latter refused to get the net he was being a callous megalomaniac prick and stop being one.

Yeeting authoritarians for that reason is absolutely an okay thing to do and we need to stop insisting it isn't.

This really ignores the fact electorialism is a fascist placebo.

Even if a substantial amount of the oppressed class had come out to vote for Genocide Harris — yeah, I see what you're going for here James — then it still would not have stopped the fascist creep.

Electorialism is not democracy.
We all have a right to be angry at GOP voters -- that almost goes without saying. But I still maintain a special reserve of vitriol for people who can't be bothered to vote at all. They, by themselves, could have prevented this. They, by themselves, can stop this whenever they want to.

Gavin Newsom just walked back calling ICE terrorists on a recent podcast where he taled with neo-fascist Ben Shapiro

When most of the U.S. is straight up demanding ICE get abolished, y'all Blue MAGAs who are rooting for him to be president are declaring yourselves certifiably insane sycophants.

Ireland may appear to be a more progressive minded place than the U.S. where abortion goes.

But it's yet another capitalist nation-state regime that monopolizes access to abortion and REALLY does not want to let the oppressed class opt out of birthing new wage slaves on a whim.
Ireland failed to remove the 3-day waiting period for abortion, which "...reinforces the idea that abortion is uniquely regrettable, that it carries an exceptional emotional risk, and that guilt is not just possible but expected. This belief is widespread, deeply ingrained, and wrong."

The three day waiting period for abortion has no medical basis, but it remains in Irish law to slow women down, writes Roe McDermott.

The thing that needs to be understood about fascists in Germany shutting down elections in Germany when they took power during the 1930s wasn't them shutting down democracy.

That was them throwing away a placebo they didn't need anymore as it had served its purpose in helping fascism succeed.

Leave it to Blue MAGA liberals like this one to get absurdly pissed at folk actually attempting to get Democrats to act like a genuine opposition party.

A "Blue Tea Party" is effectively a bizarro Tea Party in that folk in it want make Democrats go more to the left.

Why is that bad exactly?

Basing your product brand on bloodsoaked authoritarian nation-statism is just braindead thinking that'll not end well where basic commerce goes.

Imma just sayin'.

That letter Trump sent to Norway is wild in admitting colonization is not valid.

It has a point: Denmark doesn't get a magical claim to control Greenland just because colonialists landed there.

BUT, that also means, absolutely no statist regime has ANY "right of ownership" to any land either!

"ICE is not the police."

Interesting way of saying you're illiterate in how centralized policing works.

Traditional policing isn't the ONLY institution authoritarians use to police their rule.

That also extends to standing armies and border enforcers like ICE.

They're ALL the police too.

I gotta say the whole point that "Democrats and Republicans shifted political ideologies post-Civil War" is pretty absurd.

Like, do Democrats shifting from hard to center-right and Republicans from center-right to hard right really change the fact they're still shitty right-wing authoritarians?

Fuck the US and their colonial ambitions in Greenland, that goes without saying. But is anyone else really fucking pissed off at Denmark for being like: "How dare you try to colonise our colony!" I fucking hate how folks are treating Denmark like they're the victims here. They're definitely not!!

"Lincoln would hate Trump!"

Abe Lincoln?

The guy who wasn't sincere in abolishing slavery completely?

The guy who sent the army to violently shut down anti-conscription protestors?

The guy who okayed hanging indigenous Americans en masse simultaneously?

Cause I think they'd get along okay.

Blaming non-voters and third party voters for inherently authoritarian systems that keep going on with oppressive behaviors after elections is cheap cope.

It's weak scapegoating to not directly address that electorialism's neither democracy nor does anything to stop elitism.

Grow up, vote shamers.

Fella could've walked by and let the anti-fascist folk teach a neo-fascist Lang a lesson in how the paradox of tolerance works.

But, nah, why do that when you can go down poorly in history books by being remembered as a fascist accomplice like the liberals of 1930s Germany instead?
The narrative being pushed on X is that Jake Lang was dragged off the window ledge into a violent antifa mob and beaten.

The dude who pulled him off the ledge protected him and escorted him through the crowd.

The social contract is a reification.

It's a garbage liberal fiction that was made as a cheap justification for oppression.

You're not being the bigger person in fallacious appealing to a fiction like it but are just admitting unironically to be okay with authoritarianism if you do.

Don't do it.

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day.

I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

ACAB includes standing armies.
I'm not sure where this idea comes from that ICE and Border Patrol couldn't hack it in the "real" military. The data does not support this; in fact both of these agencies recruit heavily from the military. A very large number of Border Patrol agents and Deportation Officers are former infantry.

most work that must be done is nonviolent: feeding, childcare, trainings on Stop the Bleed, and a thousand other things are nonviolent work

it's important. it's necessary. it is hard and often thankless. do it

but do not blame people pushed into violent resistance or say it justifies their harm

Interesting how so many "leftists" do a political fishhook right when you ask them this simple question.

Can you give me a reason people seek to become parents that isn't driven by a desire to exploit, dominate and / or indoctrinate?

There isn't any.

And that's why I support youth emancipation.
