I believe it is my place to tell Ukrainians they should be subjugated and die, be killed by a brutal authoritarian capitalist state rather than accept weapons from a different imperial state. Better to vanish forever and stay pure than live having tainted oneself with impure weaponry. That way we can read about the sacrificial martyrs to the class war in our histories and admire their ethical consistency as we have a nice picnic on their graves.

Shant Mesrobean making the weird assertion that Trump never would have run were it not for being indicted. 🤔

From the Los Angeles Anarchist Book Fair panel on the War in Ukraine.

There are some effective refutations of those arguing that support for people in Ukraine to fight the genocidal Russian invasion somehow equates to pro-war, nationalist, or pro-NATO positions.

Wayne Price makes a good analogy. When a union with corrupt, bureaucratic leadership goes on strike, you support the strike against the bosses. Even if you to oust that union's leadership, or believe unions should be organized on entirely different terms, you don't revoke support for the workers and tell them to make peace with management.

Yet "anti-militarist" anarchists demand that Ukrainians under constant bombing and war crimes make peace with Putin. As if that somehow translates into resisting NATO or the Ukrainian capitalist class. It's just removing support for people resisting brutality.

Employers violated California Covid regulations(a public health order) in mid 2020 and brought in a bunch of workers from a separate work site that had been hit with a covid outbreak. The workers protested but were ignored. One of the workers caught covid from the new workers and then his wife got it from him. She was hospitalized and kept alive on a respirator for weeks.

The Supreme Court of California ruled that although the employer's actions caused the harm to him and his wife, they could not be held liable as it would set a precedent that was too hard for businesses and the state to meet as far as protecting their employees from infectious disease. So they will simply be abandoned.
