Excited to have bagged this bad boy from used books spaces. *The Boys from the Barracks* tells the a story about military conspiracies (so-called "deep states") in the Philippines after EDSA. I'm assembling a syllabus for a seminar on deep states and parapolitics in the Philippines so this will be useful!
What a nice film about the Blues, Black America, and starting a business. Would be a shame if vampires suddenly barged into the juke joint and ruin the party. 😳
Filipinos are missing the point with No Contact Apprehension. It's an automized AI cop, an entire system of surveillance and monitoring, not merely undue burdens or lack of due process. There is no such recognition of this significance. Cars are bad, drivers suck, but we have bigger problems.
The crisis of rape in National Democracy has now hit the mainstream news, with big news outlets covering the accusations, cover up, and saving face in Kabataan PL. This has been a long time coming, decades in the making. As always, bombard the headquarters! Out with the sexual opportunists!
But the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines made a statement last year saying that they oppose "gender radicalism" and totally absent in their call for rectification was any mention of the crisis of sexual harassment and rape in National Democracy. Two-line struggle!
Just learned about the Great Raft, an enormous millennia-old natural wonder composed of a truly vast log jam with its own floating ecosystem on top of it that created a veritable ecological paradise in the bayous of the American South, destroyed by settler colonialism in the 1800s. Sickening.
Utterly ironic that the dictator's son presents himself as the able and moderate liberal against dangerous populism and the liberals are eating it right up.
Word on the grapevine is that there's a coup brewing against Xi Jinping. Shall we see the end of personalist dictatorship in China and the restoration of collective leadership, even within the confines of one-party rule?
Imagine 500 years from now, Legally Blond the musical survived because its slime tutorial version was encoded in long term storage. That's how William Shakespeare's plays survived into the contemporary age.
I'll be discussing my essay, REBEL PERIPHERIES, with the Asian Anarchist Discussion Group (ARSON) on June 6/7. I'm pretty proud of a lot of original thinking in this one and I can't wait to share it! See you all soon!
🤓Um akshually, Israel is in EBC and Europe is a place, not a project🤓
Shut up nerds. The crakkkers at Eurovision are just afraid that the Philippines would win Eurovision every year. What's the matter whitey? Afraid you'll hear some godsdamn talent?
@miiamustang not to mention all the feel good stories of welfare and ecological restoration in Europe is only made possible by extracting wealth and wood from the global south.
Too many losers on Bluesky went “um actually” 🤓👆 to Israel and Australia being in Eurovision.
Shut up nerds. Israel and Australia are in Eurovision because they're white settler colonies, because Europe is a project, not a place! I don't care about the legality of the matter! Until the Philippines joins Eurovision this will be true.
Returning to this old banger, scoured the French web for this obscure pamphlet and asked @alraven to translate it. Down with the proletariat! Long live communism!
I read stuff on ultraleft communism, anarchy, ecology, police+prison abolition. Aspie, he\him. Scribe.Librarian at The Anarchist Library and the Southeast Asian Anarchist Library. Archivist for Philippine socialism and the Tagalog section at the Marxists Internet Archive. Climate justice worker.Build militancy not membership. For the self-abolition of the proletariat and the anti-prole prole club. The revolution will be proletarian by those who make it and anti-proletarian in its content.
