@job it's joever

Let's call a spade a spade: Akbayan has not only survived its refoundation crisis, but emerged on top. The Makabayan bloc is now where Akbayan was when it lost all its seats. We shall see how they react and reorganize in the coming months and years.

Happy to say there's a Spanish translation of my essay "Rebel Peripheries" out already! Pretty impressed there's a translation of it already! I hope this can reach Latin America, which do have anarchic peripheries and upland peasants!

Pope Leo X, born Giovanni de Medici, was so outrageously corrupt and decadent that his corruption (specifically the selling of indulgences) spawned the Protestant Reformation, plunging Europe into centuries of religious and class conflict.

What a name.

What was in the water in Italy? At least three deep states were operating in Italy during the Cold War: the CIA, the NATO stay-behind army, and the rogue Masonic lodge Propaganda Due. Several more if you count the mafia.

TV anthropologist: This tribesman has gifted me a boar's eyeball to consume. It is a great honor as it's high in caloric content. *Munches on eyeball*

EARLIER: *Tribesman motions to his fellow*, wanna bet I can get whitey to eat an eyeball?

[Based on a true story I saw on National Geographic once.]

May 5 today, Cinco de Mayo! May 4 and 5 mark two anti-imperialist holidays. May 4 commemorates the start of the anti-imperialist May Fourth movement in China that generated anarchist and Marxist currents. May 5 commemorates the victory of the Mexicans over the French invasion forces at the Battle of Pueblo.

Normies: May the Fourth be with you.

Me: Fulfill the conclusions of the May Fourth Movement!

@jindra thanks very much! Check out the footnote as I'm citing my friend who wrote on urban refugia!

@flowrot Fascinating! Hadn't considered that

@cedar Thanks! Really proud of this one! A product of a year of thinking, rethinking, and active discussion.

My essay on learning anarchist lessons from CPP-NPA-NDF is out now. I situate the people's war and mamundok in the context of a uniquely Philippine tradition of remontar and then put it in dialogue with Black anarchism, insurrectionary anarchism, and communization.

@corruptian have fun in your Nazi bar, Zionist

@db0 seems to be cognates. That's what that word means in Tagalog.

“Karambola” is far too much fun-sounding a word to be associated with mass casualty events.

@corruptian Fuck that. You know what's that called? A Nazi bar.

Y'all are literally on the same blogging platform as Nazis, who profit off and promote fascist content. Please, get a damn blog, maybe with NoBlog if you're an anarchist.

@hakan_geijer Hated a guy that kept doing this, he's the most famous anarchist from the Philippines too, Bas Umali. He'd keep gatekeeping anarchism in many other ways too. Unfortunate that Philippine anarchism is still quite associated with him.
