We are literally out of planet, and either capitalism goes, or a shared biosphere that can support 8B+ people does. And the rich guys who own everything, including your states, have made their choice - this is what that looks like, this is the only possible answer that explains EVERYTHING falling apart around you in the precise way it is. And dawg, you're gonna tell me "that's a conspiracy theory" and I just ain't here for it - capitalism works this way, it's not a "theory" at all.

The reason the nazis are always trying to pass themselves off AS us, despite hating everything we stand for, is because deep down inside they know nobody likes them, not even other nazis, and they hope to more or less repackage their tired bullshit as new and exciting long enough to get your guard down - at which point they can simply apply the power they've seized to end you.)

AnarchoNinaWrites (anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse)'s status on Monday, 20-May-2024 08:55:25 JST AnarchoNinaWrites Naw seriously tho, as recently as five years ago I was having to tell people "no, fascist militias with guns and pepe badges are not "anarchists" and I expect that at some point I'll have to repeatedly explain that again the next time nazis try to pass off their bullshit as "the real leftism/punk/rebellion."
Thankfully, they haven't been successful, but once I saw "MAGA Communism" I pretty much gave up on the idea that we could invent words they wouldn't try to steal; successfully or not.

This is absolutely an ideology built on exercising minority rule by force and legalist doctrine.)

These folks absolutely KNOW that people who aren't nazis find them loathsome.

AnarchoNinaWrites (anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse)'s status on Monday, 20-May-2024 08:09:10 JST AnarchoNinaWrites I get that you're irritated about having to constantly "stay current" but how do you think folks trying to communicate relevant ideas in a society where "free speech" now means "the freedom to preach racism and eliminationism" and murdering billions of poor people so tech bros can escape a boiling planet and go to Mars is "effective altruism" feel?
We'll stop inventing new words when you nazis stop stealing and twisting them.

AnarchoNinaWrites (anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse)'s status on Monday, 20-May-2024 08:09:02 JST AnarchoNinaWrites Related: I also find it irritating when people complain about the complexity of left wing and social justice terminology in a derisive way, without acknowledging and understanding the very real propaganda war conducted against liberation, socialism, and justice discussions in real time. We keep inventing new hyper-specific terms because we're faced with a machine that constantly redefines and colonizes the terminology of sharing, to distort it into something that services fascism and reaction.

AnarchoNinaWrites (anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse)'s status on Monday, 20-May-2024 04:09:15 JST AnarchoNinaWrites What binds the ruling class together, regardless of their professed politics, is the continuation of the capitalist order that grants them wealth and power. What explains everything they do, are the monstrous actions necessary to keep doing that as limitations are reached and exceeded. All the violence, all the reorganization of society, all the propaganda points to the same place "fuck you, we won't stop even if it kills ever last one of you; in fact, we're planning for that."

I dunno what else to say; I've spent enough time studying and observing that I wouldn't even describe articulating that master plan as a THEORY anymore.

AnarchoNinaWrites (anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse)'s status on Monday, 20-May-2024 04:09:11 JST AnarchoNinaWrites I cannot stress this enough, the "master plan" for the ruling class here is literally "kill billions of people so we can keep doing capitalism on a boiling planet for perhaps 3 more generations" and literally everything you're struggling to understand stems from that. Why fascism? This. Why AI? Because PEOPLE won't agree, but machines can choose genocide for them. Why police state? Cause you won't go quietly into that good night.
All of it, stems from this.

DuBois, Angela Davis, James Baldwin, and internationally, Frantz Fanon. And that's not to hold anyone up on a pedestal, or to say there are no other liberation writers worth reading - but those are the folks that helped shape ME personally, and my journey is WHY fascists don't want their kids reading them)

"Above the fray" was good advice for before you put your goddamn foot in it on the side of fascist murderpigs. That ship sailed, and folks ain't gonna forget it.

AnarchoNinaWrites (anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse)'s status on Monday, 20-May-2024 03:23:00 JST AnarchoNinaWrites Not about that RT but; I kinda hate how Malcolm X's ideas have been reduced to a series of quotations, often applied out of context; the guy was incredibly thoughtful and he had a lot more to say than you can fit on a meme. Did I agree with everything he said at every point of his life? No, but the dude was constantly learning, refining his ideas; which is true of anyone seriously examining the concepts of liberation and resistance. I learned more from that guy, than any class I took in school.

AnarchoNinaWrites (anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse)'s status on Monday, 20-May-2024 03:18:04 JST AnarchoNinaWrites There are of course other ways to build collective power, but traditionally, unions are our way, the labor class way, the way that doesn't involve turning over all the power and authority to bougies in suits. When they come for the unions, I know they're my enemy; no matter where they profess to be on the political spectrum.

AnarchoNinaWrites (anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse)'s status on Monday, 20-May-2024 03:17:56 JST AnarchoNinaWrites So you start by negotiating with your boss, but you don't end there - once you've formed a union, you now have the MEANS to build collective power; and my friends, we are not beating fascism and escaping the hellworld these maggots have lined up for us all, without building collective power. This is why there's such a thing as a "renter's union" and it's why the machine spend so much time putting IWW organizers in the ground. You start in the shop, but you don't have to STOP there.

It's not enough to sign a union card, you need to fighting inside your orgs towards radical justice and action - but if you never form that collective power in the first place, none of that CAN happen on its own.)
