@hakan_geijer I argue staying armed and ever alert to the return of the menace will be key to staying free.

@hakan_geijer Indeed. To one: yes todays soldiers are not reluctant draftees, they are eager volunteers. Thats the threat. Not a reason to not fight.

@anarchopunk_girl Personally I've driven to play on their fears; and honestly, undermining white birth rates would do a lot of good for our side of things. I love when they're panicking about white birth rates. The funny thing is, I think their plan is going to backfire. A lot of white guys, in response to the Roe being overturned, went and got vasectomies.

@anarchopunk_girl The slip is that she didn't hold back the hidden point.

@hakan_geijer @rechelon It seems to be turning into a war between two bad guys...just like what the Euromaidan thing was. A conflict between Russian nationalists and Ukrainian nationalists.

@abolisyonista Maybe you can explain, to me, French theory's weird fixation on the figure of the autistic, autisme, and how they keep trying to connect it to capitalism and the notion of the autistic as "capitalism embodied/capitalist subject perfected".

Because honestly I struggle to understand it as an autistic person and no matter how I slice it I am left profoundly insulted. At best, it all seems to suggest that autistic people are incapable of any political consciousness, and even if we are earnest and dedicated we shouldn't be taken too seriously and never as fully included comrades.

@abolisyonista Well it reflects a very old fashioned second wave liberal feminism in that sense.

@abolisyonista More interested in understanding it in order to understand transphobic feminism as such. It's more accurate to think of it as embodying antiquated liberalism and radicalism as opposed to full blown reaction.

@abolisyonista I mean...honestly I'm less interesting in damning such a perspective (Honestly, not even second wave radical feminism all together rejected gender essentialism in the end. It was very easily discouraged by everything. Lapsing into a "men are worthless" conclusion far more easily than second wave liberal feminism did. In many ways, radical feminism just embodied the worst traits of the second wave by the end.)

@abolisyonista Democracy...even at it's best is still a kind of autocracy.

@abolisyonista (The jest being on your part)

@abolisyonista And I imagine it wasn't even all that hardcore and serious, just a thing suggested in jest, however bizarre it was in story

Look, being an individualist anarchist, that means I'm going to be at odds with a lot of anarchists about stuff including in economics. But rest assured, "an"caps are fucking bullshit.

One of the hardest ideas to wrap your head around, if you want to bake your noodle: a free market economy and capitalism aren't the same things. In fact, they are opposed. And the argument against capitalism and the argument against free market ideas are not identical. Nothing irritates me more as an individualist anarchist is the description of capitalism as "the free market run amok", or pairing "laissez-faire" with "capitalism".

And yes, libraries should defend their right to stock age appropriate sex education materials in their libraries. For anyone, including children, who wishes to check it out. To stop cringing before the right's accusations of "corruption/sexualization" of youth. To bluntly, and without shame, tell parents and other busybodies to fuck off and mind their place. To defend the libraries by lethal force if need be.

@anarchopunk_girl @BeyondTheSwineAge Given how there were periods where sections of the left just took that easy way out.

@anarchopunk_girl Jesus Christwagons this is all a big mess.

@anarchopunk_girl I'm not even sure she's a syndicalist

@anarchopunk_girl Not exactly Nina's biggest fan either in this mess.

@anarchopunk_girl Yeah Welshpixie is not exactly the most reliable source.
