Broadly a post-anarchist minus the psycho analytic gobble garble.
I think we should abolish a lot of things.

Prefiguration, Biopolitics, Ideology and repression is everywhere.
Occasional absurdities.
Authoritarianism in “Liberal Democracies”:

In France, you can be fined for whistling during the national anthem in some sports games. If committed as part of an organised group, this goes up to 6 months in prison.

I hate the debate on “is it really genocide” or “just” crimes against humanity.

If you spend more energy trying to claim it doesnt count as genocide than learning about it and trying to help end the atrocity. Then you’re effectively complicit.

Borders are so normalised, that sometimes we forget they are the state’s prison wall or the vast majority of humanity.

The globalised elite that inhabit most of bluesky are a miniature exception to this rule.

One of the easiest way to reveal your brains inner misogyny is to watch a womens version of the sport you watch all the time, and observe the thoughts that come into your head.

In asymmetric conflict, "anti-war" rhetoric condemning the violence of the conflict without addressing its causes (perhaps oppression, systemic violence, colonialism etc), can easily become a tool of the powerful/oppressor.

One of the worst forms of gaslighting is being called “negative” or “doom and gloom” for describing the reality of your oppression.

Sportswashing isn’t just done by nation-states.

It is by and large primarily a Corpo thing as well.

Found this on an insta real comment section of all places. I like the phrasing.

“If capitalism is the natural way or human society, why do rich people spend so much money bribing politicians to uphold it?”

Luigi should say that at his trial.
a few months ago there was a congress woman who was specifically told that her vote for a cut to medicaid would kill people. she said "i hate to break it to you but we're all going to die".

the successful branding of political violence as kinetic violence for political means is covering for so much

Anyways, there’s no such thing as innocent “patriotism”.

Stateism kills, erases, enforces, and institutionalises everything we are fighting against.
Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

The choice of words, by media and politicians, of “pro-palestine” as opposed to “anti-genocide” is very deliberate.

Problematic assumption. Look at disabling chronic illness circles and you’ll see those people are some of the most woke and aware of state harm and state abuse there is.

An ill population is less able to fight back, but not less likely to recognise authoritarianism. Healthist to assume that.
It does explain it quite well actually. An educated, healthy population is more likely to recognize and fight back against authoritianism. Also, they can't rely on facts to support their goals so they have to build their whole movement on myths and lies

Calling it “law enforcement” is playing right into their hands. Giving it credibility. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s state mafia, power, hierarchy enforcement.
all federal law enforcement of all kinds — from fbi to dea to hsi to irs to ice to diplomatic security to everything else — deprofessionalized and combined into a single amorphous and untrained federal “police” force for use in the streets.

In the age of Trump, liberals are grieving the loss of what they call the “rules based international order”.

While the autocratic international order is terrible, so was the manufactured consent machine with the technocratic illusion of fairness liberal nations created.

Just look at Gaza.

if (political) party names were accurate they would immediately be changed.

For all the weird classical romanticising and linguistic prescriptivism in Parisian (Standard French) and English.

The fact many neologisms were made modularly with greek/latin roots makes the language perhaps simpler to learn with pattern recognition.

“Meritocracy” in the sense the biggest arseholes are those most rewarded by the system.
👏🏾THIS IS WHAT MERITOCRACY LOOKS LIKE 👏🏾

A good way to illustrate how ridiculous capitalist rent logic is is to take rural scotland.

You have many farming families who’ve been renting the same farm since the 1700s

They’ve paid centuries of rent. They’ve worked and maintained the land for 300 years.

Authorities will always lie. That’s how they become authorities. Humans don’t tend to give other humans power over them unless they’re lied to.
going to keep saying: important for a society that would like to keep functioning to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities
Lying by an officer should be a one-strike-you're-fired situation, and the officers who did so should all be prosecuted. I won't hold my breath. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Ah, the pleasent roars of the leafblowers are back, I thank the mighty one, for they are cleaning the satanic leaves. 🙏

No dreaded diversity.

When the most powerful judges in the country can be bribed. It isn’t democracy. As in demos (people) kratos (rule).

It’s corpocracy.

While your letter to your representative gets binned because they “can’t read everything” your representative is hosting hour long meetings with corporate lobbyists over catered lunch.

Welcome to Liberal Democracy.
Or Should I say, Corpocracy.

What Liberal Capitalism and Corporate NGO Conservationism don’t admit, is that if we reach 2.5-3 Degrees C warming. Which is looking inevitable unless we go for growth agnosticism. Polar bears, will be extinct in the wild. No magic solution, no silver bullets. No ice = no bears. Simple as that.
