Not to stan too hard for my friends, but this remains a top-of-all-time anarchist banner:

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

If this is true, it’s very clear that we want to destroy the possibility of a genuinely democratic opposition taking power, because we want to install that dog Reza Pahlavi as Shah

"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?

Spare a thought for the poor centrist UK columnists, torn between their kneejerk hatred of gauche Trump and his antics, but oh! The glorious realpolitik of foreign locales on fire!

In the days that followed, Cundiff became something he does not quite know how to inhabit: a hero. "It's weird," he said. "I just did something that I would think anyone would do. What do you mean you would watch a stroller and a baby just sink?"
The shock of the cold didn't fully register until afterward. After emerging from the lake, an ambulance transported him to the emergency room.
At the hospital, doctors monitored him after his cardiac enzymes spiked to more than thirteen times the normal level, a marker sometimes associated with heart distress. He stayed about twenty-eight hours. He was not allowed to eat, in case doctors needed to perform a heart catheterization.
"I was so sad," he said. "I love to eat." When he was discharged, he went straight to Redhot Ranch for the cheeseburger he'd been craving. "I just experienced some trauma. I wanted this cheeseburger," he said.

there's nothing this walrus-faced fuck wants to see more in life than dead iranians and even when trump jams him up on bunk charges as payback for criticizing him, he falls all over himself to praise his illegal war

A baby goat stands on a cracked military helmet containing a partial skull. Beside the goat there is a line from a song by the Mountain Goats. It says "you can arm me to the teeth you can't make me go to war"

"Oh but there were some early utopian zionists who..." don't fucking care. You can find guileless idealistic hippies pushing other nationalisms and statist marxisms back in the day, they were all fucking utterly wrong because those ideologies are evil at core and will always bear the same fruit.

Anyway, I find this tabooing of valid descriptive terminology of our enemies so fucking deplorably slimy and underhanded.

Instead of tabooing us saying "zionism" have the fucking spine to stand in public and say that you think there's some valid form of settler colonial ethnonationalism you support

"Oh no no no ever saying 'abuser' would be stigmatizing and imply it's an unchangeable fixed property of someone." Motherfucker, sometimes it functionally is. I'm not going thru some "person who did harm" smol bean olympic contortions to talk about a DV homicide or Guantanamo torturer.

Similarly I titled that one essay "bad people" because like the goddamn tabooing of any negative descriptive term had gotten so fucking batshit that folks legitimately wanted to make it impossible to say anything like that, instead only using some wishy washy shit like "person who did harm."

I was similarly apoplectic about the "well they call us nihilists so we might as well identify as such" move around 2010 that abandoned once common anarchist critiques of epistemic and moral nihilism. To deny us a word for shit we oppose denies us the ability to enunciate the critique of it.

It always makes me so fucking mad when folks try to taboo any usage of a term that describes a real thing that we should oppose. "Oh but some random shitty libs use 'tankie' to describe all leftists." Don't fucking care. To strip away our ability to name bad things impairs our ability to oppose them

Yes, "zionism" has been widely used by antisemites as functional shorthand for jews, but denouncing only "Netanyahu's government" is fucking deplorable weaksauce that runs cover for the evil of nationalism and Israel.

Anarchists cannot afford to cede proper descriptive terms of what we oppose.

This is a photo of a sticker of a drawing I did of a raccoon holding a monkey wrench and saying β€œAnything you can do to undermine the US war machine is justified and morally right.” The sticker is slapped up in the street for all to see.

France, Germany and UK urge Iran to 'negotiate solution' after attack Rare joint statement from leaders of European nations makes clear they did not participate in US-Israeli strikes

Iran was negotiating with the US via Oman. Mere hours later, the Americans and Israelis bombed Iran and Israel is now saying they killed Khamenei.

Iran’s conclusion will now be that they should have developed a nuke. That’s going to be the conclusion of every state on bad terms with the US.
