RIP US Embassy in Iraq, we hardly knew ye

So the war is currently rapidly escalating right now,, and we're experience a serious 'fog of war' where, for example, Netanyahu is putting out obvious, obvious, AI generated 'rpoof of life videos' which prove nothing here nor there. Western Media just parrots whatever Israel or the US says to a pathetic degree, and Al Jazeera even has a clear bias.

So I've noticed, ironically or not that Indian based outlets tend to be the most objective sources.

@passenger @abolisyonista

Simon Bolivar was a Mason apparently

@MediaActivist heck yeah, gonna set up my account

@MediaActivist there's a todon tube?

@kaia wait... which national anthem? :blobcatdevil:

@Rasp i get that too, putting a key in a lock when i'm nervous, nightmare situation

@kaia oooh graphene is so smoothe

@FlashMobOfOne

no one needs it, and i don't particularly want it, seems like it would make the phone that much more breakable

@kaia yeah, a big part of that line of work is role play, or emotional labour / counseling type stuff, from what i've heard from escorts that most of their job actually, playing girlfriend or therapist

@kaia i often feel young women are giving away way too much too soon, and this is probably because they have no one in their corner giving them advice, very important to say no and not just give in to the demands on mofos that haven't even paid anything

@kaia looks like an improvement to me

@kaia it is highly improbable, even assuming the guy is is a compulsive sex addict, likely many kids who rumoured or alleged to be his children if a women ever had sex with him, since he basically had dibs on every women in the empire

@kaia that's some fun math, okay so let's say he bust 1-3 nuts a day each in a different concubine...

@kaia i think the whole point of a tank is that they are 'all terrain vehicals'

@abolisyonista

they are both excellent libraries, as is MIA, it is a tricky situation for sure, and we should assume *any* public web host is going to be monitored by the police

and i didn't mean to be sectarian, diversity is good, nothing against green anarchism as such, but i do oppose the publishing of reactionary materials in an anarchist library which is why these alternatives were set up https://www.anarchistlibraries.net/libraries

with libcom, at first it was with a member of the journal, but what's telling is all of the admins of the site came out defending Drury, that this is "just his day job", when it increasingly was revealed that his day job is being a leading counter insurgency theorist and police consultant. This became a big deal around 2013-14 and was a drop off of membership activity after that, the place was dead for some years before they did the site makeover, i think around 2018, which scrubbed many of the posts about this

Anyway, i'm not telling you what to do, books are books, i am less sure about Anarchy Planet, their messy politics is likely just a reflection of North Americas confused anarchist scene, but i was convinced 10 years ago libcom is a honeypot and nothing has changed apparently ( tho i still use their library pretty frequently lol

@miiamustang @abolisyonista

thanks for this info, yeah i've noticed their editorial line is all fucking over the place, a lot of left-com shit or weird tankie shit

The quality of those T-shirts also struck me as fishy because it's the corny-est clip art anarchy signs i've ever seen

@miiamustang @abolisyonista

Sadly much of the anarchist online space is dominated by very very shady entities, i'm sure you know about libcom, aufenbaub-gate and John Drury: basically the people running libcom moonlight as police crowd control theorists lmao, big "compatible / non communist left" vibes

I find Anarchy Planet who runs the anarchist lib, anarchist news , little black cop ^ i mean cart, and other outlets very shady --- they still publish attassa ( a publication that glorifies liberatory sexual violence ) and host the writings of ATS, who claim to have murdered trans women -- and browse the front page of any of their sites all they're talking about is boomer shit like Zerzen and Bob Black

I'm sure there are decent people involved in both projects, but i think they're both fundamentally compromised and they neatly cover the whole spectrum using complementary strategies: libcom promoting a do nothing left-communism under the guise of "red" anarchism, while Anarchy Planet promotes this "green" eco-extremist noise too often indistinguishable from eco-fascism

how i miss indymedia, notice the cops went after them and no-state dot net ( raided their servers ) but libcom hosts pdf of copywritten books in the UK and no action taken, curious

@miiamustang @abolisyonista

i should provide some sources so here's just 2

auftenbooble shit happened wow over 10 years ago https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/sam-fantosamotnaf-cop-out/bbselect

on the atassa controversy https://itsgoingdown.org/of-indiscriminate-attacks-and-wild-reactions-an-anti-civ-anarchist-engages-with-its-and-atassa-their-defenders-and-their-false-critics/

so it turns out that the president can just ignore the courts and do whatever he wants
