Hey folks, when you see pacifist garbage like this being spread, please let them know it's already thoroughly debunked. One of the original authors of this "comparative" methodology worked for the US State Dept for f*s sake.

I don't usually do commercials and 99.9% of the time I believe movies can be at best emotionally important but otherwise reactionary or recuperative, but if there's any independent cinema near you, please see Sinners!

Assuming this guy spends so much time lecturing strangers about their impure consumer choices out of good intention and coherent analysis, I'd like to know: once you get the money from a platform that is supposedly Nazi-free, what bank do you use...

If these clowns weren't deliberately ignorant of history (if they even just read that two page article they're fuming about), they would realize that, oopsie, the Communist Party and the USSR collaborated with the Nazis on multiple occasions...

What do you know, the moment this got a certain amount of traction, I started getting harassed and trolled for my first time yet on Bluesky!

Please help fight back against these Democratic, pacifist conspiracy theories. These mf'ers work hand-in-hand with the cops and then try to speak for the movement.
They've always been saying it's provocateurs, but it's people who actually care more about life than about banks and cop shops!

Every year they erase the past:
Peaceful protests accomplish nothing besides killing movements
The Democrats support the genocide in Palestine, killer cops, greenwashing, transphobia, deportations, and then they act like they're the leaders of the resistance.
Are we going to forgive and forget?

8 years ago today we lost a life long anarchist organizer and fighter, Joaquina Dorado. She survived the civil war, prison, clandestinity and the armed struggle, and all the betrayals of democracy. She survived to be just shy of 100, and participated in the movement until the end.

Both books explore the loss of collective memory, the lack of intergenerational continuity, and the constant ruptures in our movements that cause us to repeat the same strategic mistakes or to succumb to repression, exhaustion, and hopelessness.
