I followed the link out of a "surely not" sense of curiousity.

Nope.

@anarchopunk_girl I've very little experience with it, so for me it's just like "oh, ok, that bloke has an axe instead of a hand and some kind of branded jaw-protection thing? And then, she's using a snail as a bluetooth headset? This going to get explained? No? Cool, cool. Ok. Just go with it."

Me: "oh, ok, this One Piece thing is meant to be good. Pirates, you say? Sign me up lol they've autocorrected 'sketchy pirate' to 'stretchy pirate' lmao idiots"

Me, some time later: "oh. I see."

Wassat? Russell Brand is a rapey twat?

Shocked, I tell you. Who'd have thunk it?

@goatsarah @rachel_norfolk

I think that is what the kids call "receipts"

Dog-whistle alert: use of word "identity" in the 2nd screenshot.

FWIW - thank you @goatsarah for finding and posting.

@anarchopunk_girl

Supported.

@anarchopunk_girl

The only animals that I *know of* that can definitely parse sentences properly are certain types of birds (it's to do with their songs, apparently they understand word order).

That said, I wouldn't be at all surprised if some dogs/cats/rabbits can do, whilst others can.

@anarchopunk_girl Meh.

Nationalising industries gets a cautious "one cheer" from me. It's clearly better than privatisation, but goes nowhere near enough.

@anarchopunk_girl

nooooooooooooooooo!!!

@anarchopunk_girl @rechelon

Long supply chain do NOT necessarily require hierarchy. (They may not be *ideal* for absolutely everything, eg. we in the UK maybe can do without asparagus from Peru in September, but that's a different issue)

As for the rest of your post - my experience was much less, uh, pointedly close to home (for want of a *much* better phrase), but the sense of "well, you'll just have to learn to live without X*, which might suck for you, but will be better for society at large" is eerily similar.

*X being certain tech that makes my life more liveable/dignified, especially with my arthritis/long covid, albeit I *can* function without it.

Fuck that noise.

@anarchopunk_girl @rechelon

I wouldn't mind reading that, if you come across it again.

The times I've interacted with people who lean in that direction, I've got frustrated extremely quickly, as I don't really understand their motivations/approach (eg. bow and arrow vs wifi router), given how different they are to me, and I've always been left with a - possibly unfair - unease about how they'd treat people who are less abled.

(That's more a view on anti-tech types, rather than anti-city types, to be fair)

@rechelon

ok, I might regret asking this, but what's iconoclastic about being pro-city and tech, as an anarchist?

@rechelon thanks for that - makes sense, and I can sorta see why too, even if I'm not anti-civ myself, a lot of folk I talk to view tech and cities as products of capitalism first and foremost, rather then potentially liberatory tools

@rechelon I can see that argument in the case of cities (cities need mega agriculture, that leads to an administrative class etc etc), and even without a state, will inevitably lead to class, hierarchy, oppression and so on - I'm not convinced by the argument, but I can understand it.

Not so sure about technology, though? Unless it's that you need increasingly "large" industry to product it?

@anarchopunk_girl

This is really making me wonder how much of my fatigue is LongCovid, and how much is arthritis.

Whilst it doesn't really make a difference to me, it *might* make a difference to other people in terms of being believed - arthritis isn't exactly contested in the same way as LongCovid is.

@anarchopunk_girl no, that's great, that's super helpful

Stay loving existing!

@anarchopunk_girl

THAT'S IT!

THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊

@anarchopunk_girl

I'm not sure - I came across that one while I was searching, and while it hits the points, I've an idea it was a different one.

Feel ya, too, sis ❤️

Hey, so, help?

Couple weeks ago, an article was doing the rounds, something like:

"How to explain CFS to someone whose never had it"

Had loads of good stuff in it to give to the people who go "blimey, yeah, no wonder you're tired, last week was a hard week at work, we're all feeling it"

Gonna need it I think over the next few weeks and I forgot to save it...

*PLEASE BOOST FOR REACH*

@anarchopunk_girl Doesn't exactly sound like a bad thing. I'm for it.
