Thank God feminism was unnecessary
ohhhhhh okay so what we've learned from the epstein mail drop is that the entirety of the fascistic culture war since the 2010s onward was basically wholesale consolidated through the anglosphere bourgeois old boys club network of pedophile rapists
So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

NZ Post should not be run "as a business". It's a fundamental public service and every issue you have had with it, or with courier delivery, in the past 30 years is down to governments sacrificing that public service for the sake of short term cashflow

Since this is trending again, I’m not a particularly well-read student of history and political theory, but this is an aspect that always stood out to me in the little reading I’ve done on historical authoritarian revolutions.
Something I’ve been trying to tell people in my life is there is no safe or right way to exist safely under {fascism|authoritarianism|whatever}. There is no logical course of action you can follow that will prevent you from being targeted, intentionally or by chance, which history shows repeatedly.
honestly even the folks saying “FAFO” immediately fall apart too, since some reporting seems to point to her just driving up after dropping her kid off at school nearby

Wilhoit's Law isn't just astute, it offers the bedrock of a far clearer understanding of *all* politics if one just drops the bullshit left/right spatial metaphor of a "spectrum" and replaces it with that in/out distinction: a centre of power & privilege; its fash cops; the Abject excluded from it.
