Kaleidic Riot

Just as liberals consistently end up siding with fascists to crush anarchists and preserve the state, the gender reactionaries consistently side with the foulest of misogynists and fascists to preserve the patriarchal ontology of sex. Both have a vested interest in beating the belief into everyone that patriarchy is natural, so foundational is that premise to both of their projects. From this perspective anything that might actually attack or undermine the state/patriarchy is a ghastly threat. It’s akin to rejecting the toppling of the racist police state because without the police state how would we have affirmative action?

While there have always been some reactionary currents within feminist ranks, it’s honestly hard to find anything recognizable as feminism in Stock’s ideology; her worldview is so systematically statist and conservative. She whines that feminists are too pro-abortion and don’t consider the wishes of the pregnant person’s extended family.211 She whines that a show shouldn’t have been canceled because Greg Wallace is a sex pest and racist. Certainly she has nothing in common with the radicals that planted bombs in banks, burned down the houses of politicians, and nearly killed the king of Britain. Leaders of the gender reactionary movement like Posie Parker (Kellie-Jay Nyishie Keen-Minshull) have already explicitly rejected identifying with “feminism” on the grounds that they think patriarchy is more or less exclusively a biological inequality rather than a self-replicating social and ideological system. Their prescription is social democracy: the existence of biological differences legitimizes the centralized violence of the liberal state to intervene in society to “protect women” as a disadvantaged group, restoring the balance. And as biology means that these interventions must continue forever, so too must the state.

from my book:

"Which way western leftist", and it's just whether or not to fellate a mass-murdering theocratic fascist:

All the "it's just a distraction" people don't understand that War is the Health of the State, and murdering brown people abroad is a key to weaponizing and militarizing the most brutal, vile parts of the state apparatus against domestic political dissidents.

This sort of delusional, murderous thinking is your brain on nationalism. Trump, Hegseth, Rubio and the rest of these delusional fascist mass-murderers are high on their own propaganda supply.

Trump really think he can bomb elementary school, kill hundreds of citizens and destabalize a region and the people will automatically be on his side.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

Is this a headline from 1979?

War is Peace

Freedom is Slavery

Ignorance is Strength

Somebody please give totally-not-a-reactionary-hack Walter Block the "fell for it again" award.

Borders are fake. They can not hurt you. Only people can hurt you. People are already here, hurting you. You are people. Stop it. What are you doing? Hurting yourself, thats what. You've imagined a little box, and crawled inside it. What the hell, buddy? You are not stuck in a box. Borders are fake.

"There are valid concerns and criticisms to be had about immigration."

No there aren't. Fuck you. Don't concede that absurd shit. Abolish every border. Let hundreds of millions in. Why are you justifying violence to keep folks out? Why are you pretending like nations aren't moral atrocities?

"our violence is surgical." collateral damage is never acknowledged. "our violence is moral." every pretense is false. "our violence is necessary." every place we touch is hurled into chaos that takes years to unfuck.

I see the 7th George W. Bush administration is going well.

Yeah, you can't crudely analyze the AI org fights in terms of classic capitalist incentives alone, there's fucking huge amounts of sincere true believer ideology in play. Many folks involved would absolutely die or kill for their esoteric frameworks and I bet there's fractal nest of conspiracies.

It’s wrong to vaporize school children even if Congress votes to approve it.

We bombed an elementary school in a fucking seaside town with an entire fucking mountain range between it and Tehran. 24 little girls are dead. This is not a war for them. It’s not a war for liberation. Don’t let anyone fool you that this war is justified.

Don’t let anyone tell you that it is a measured response to the Ayatollah’s treachery against his own people, that it’s only because negotiations failed, that it’s solely for the purpose of liberating the oppressed Iranian people.

Don’t let anyone tell you that this unhinged war of aggression the United States and Israel just instigated against Iran is justified.

Reporting from @thisamericanlife.org on the Prairieland trial. This political prosecution poses grave threats to First Amendment rights, and all who care about freedom should be following it.

Any institution that sends violence workers because people are having fun in the snow needs a massive budget cut to pay for…literally anything else.

“Taken together, we find that immigration saves elderly lives, and these health improvements may come through protective effects of avoiding the nursing home setting and through better treatment of those who go to nursing homes.”

Conservative MP searches for ‘antifa’ in federal government, Canadian Armed Forces - National | Globalnews.ca Federal departments and the Canadian Armed Forces must answer by April how many members of anti-fascist groups work for the public service and the military.

So much of the discussion about antifa on the right is projection of their strategies onto the left. The right has billionaire financing, so the left must also. The right joins the military for training, so the left must also. Hopefully, this doesn’t go beyond grandstanding.

trying to estimate the size and commitment of people via posts is questionable but one thing that minneapolis points to IMHO is a return of a militant liberalism we really haven't seen in the west since the cold war started

Me in court some day: Your honor, my bloc was bad tho. They were all dunking on my bloc online. They said I was doing punk bloc without the punk. They said I was doing normie bloc without the bloc. They said they were making a zine about my bad bloc but it had to be a book.
