Any Day, Happy Day!

daggers-drawn:

Socialism, nationalism and liberalism are simply three different ideas of how to centralize and make coherent the systems of social control. They don’t abolish, but simply attempt to reform and continue past points of crisis.

Each of these systems of thought offer their solutions and the system of domination takes what it needs from each.

If anarchism is to be just another buffet for this machine to sustain itself from then the world would be better off without anarchists.

But anarchists are capable of being more than that, and so our project is not yet unsalvageable.

ultraviolet-techno-ecology:

The normalization of stimulant-usage as the standard method of ensuring enough energy in the day to perform labour is itself a massive sign that the economic demands placed upon humans are inhumane.

I wish more people were aware that “Needing coffee just to wake up.” is a sign that your lifestyle is killing you - and that those who demand you maintain that lifestyle through economic coercion are endangering your wellbeing for profit.

daggers-drawn:

“Are you a boy or a girl?”

I am becoming.

these corporations that are fucking destroying the earth environmentally aren’t ignorant to what they’re doing, they’re not stupid. they just want us to fucking die.

currently theres a climate change lawsuit and exxon mobile who has been playing like it’s ignorant of climate change and really not doing anything bad 

they’re being forced to turn over its documental knowledge of just how badly they were fucking over the planet because the truth is finally coming out.

Though I hardly fucking doubt just taking Exxon’s money in a lawsuit will do anything. Taking these corporations money doesn’t stop them from continuing to destroy the fucking planet

but for some reason lawmakers keep on pretending like these huge multi-billion dollar companies are really going to be frightened by some lawsuit when it’s quite literally cheaper for them to pay lawsuit cash than pay for their destruction of the earth

also according to the article the lawsuit is very roundabout, since essentially what they’re suing for is “lying to investors about potential regulations that could come into play based on them privately knowing what they were doing but publicly denying it.”

Because our system is so fucked that you can’t even successfully bring someone to court over a little thing like “actively destroying our ecosystem, being one of the biggest players in a mass extinction event, causing weather extremes that directly kill thousands of people and destroy their homes, and then running an unbelievably large smear campaign against anyone who says this is happening.” Because that’s legal.

They should individually be charged be mass murder tbh

yes, they should all be charged as mass murderers. you can kill 12 people and be seen as absolutely abhorrent but when you get into the territory of destroying the world and the people in it … apparently that just deserves a little lawsuit.

so someone just said they’re “really interested in history” how careful do you have to be?

 “i just think history is interesting in general! i’m not interested in any specific part of it”: this person is most likely safe. never drop your guard though

“i’m interested in this specific subject or time period in history. (ex. ancient egypt,  the golden age of piracy, the history of the printing press”: still probably safe. be on the lookout for certain risky historical subjects. you should know them you see them 

“i’m really into WW2 history”: this is the caution zone, there’s plenty of valid reasons to be into WW2, but if they start talking about how Operation Sealion totally could have succeeded, it’s time to abort

 “i’m specifically into roman history, the crusades, prussian military history, and WW2”: danger! do NOT talk about history with this person. in fact, do not talk to this person at all. you will regret it, you do not want to know what they think of the treaty of versailles or why germany lost the first world war

anti-oedipussy:

“Line of flight, a term developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus, designates an infinitesimal possibility of escape; it is the elusive moment when change happens, as it was bound to, when a threshold between two paradigms is crossed. ‘Line of flight’ is Brian Massumi’s English translation of the French ‘ligne de fuite,’ where ‘fuite’ means the act of fleeing or eluding but also flowing, leaking. Gender dysphoria is one such moment of leakage, when the face you see in the mirror is not a face for you anymore, when a supposedly familiar landscape is blurred by the transposition of gender-signifying marks from one millieu to another, when the socially determined coordinates of familiarity-identity-gender no longer add up to a legible (legitimate) pattern, when materiality itself escapes the frame of representation, because this frame is built on gender binarism.”

Abuse and authority are the same dynamic.

cronaca-sovversiva:

Anarchists should stop talking to liberals as if we have all the answers for how the world would function after some revolution because the truth is, none of us do. There never will be a universal answer. And pretending as if there is holds us back.

I’d say leftists/marxists/etc But the truth is those categories have always acted like they have a diagram and blueprint for every thing and they don’t lmao.

And not to toot our horn but anarchism is the only one (nihilism too I guess) that even by its base definition makes no promises. “Without rulers”. We can make suggestions, show points of reference at most. But to say “this is how things will run the __workers do this and the ___workers do that and we all live happily ever after” is false.

I eye all those with skepticism who believe I need to have an ideal world in mind to hate the current one.

We aren’t the least afraid of ruins, remember?

“Idealism!” Squeals the Marxist preacher as I steamroll over them and all the other charlatans. You are only in the way of the very world you claim to promise to bring about. One step forward and two steps back, perfectionists who are so focused on how beautiful you want the finished sculpture will look, you never put the hammer and chisel to the stone. And it will never turn out as perfect as you envisioned it to be, it will be real, and that is what makes it more beautiful than the utopia you imagined.
