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

oomf made a really good point that one reason f/f isn't as popular as m/m and m/f is because fixed t/b dynamics are faaaaaar more common in the latter two

- Mum, muuuuuum! People are having hope on the timeline again coz a left winger won a by-election.
- Don't worry, sweetie. The ratfucking and/or sell out will knock it out of them.
- But they keep doing it mum!!! Why won't they learn?

Saaame, I'm in my mid 20s and I've seen it among my peers far too many times already

Officers responding to a planned snowball fight in Washington Square Park were struck by members of the crowd. The NYPD commissioner described the incident as "illegal" and said authorities are investigating.

The Tactical Aid Unit (riot cops) in Manchester this weekend often wore no identifying epaulettes

The GMP's own Uniform Policy and Dress Standards states that: "All officers and staff in uniform are required to wear epaulettes clearly showing their collar number on both shoulders at all times."

and at some point we have to come to terms with the fact that sports competitions between “national” teams are inherently nationalistic and will always be used for nationalistic propaganda

If you feel an instinctive flinch at the very idea of those in power facing real consequences for their actions, and find your mind defaulting to old excuses ("it could ruin their lives" "shouldn't we try to rehabilitate" "what about forgiveness?")

That's just conditioning. Work on that shit.

Anti-feminism is the collective cultural temper tantrum at the temerity of women who ask if we can be more than exploitable sex objects.

You can't make a living from revolutionary work. You might be able to make a living doing something which doesn't suck. If you're very lucky you might be able to do more good than harm through a job. But revolutionary work? That shit will always have to be for free.

Girl who need to go to sleep: what if I doomed scrolled instead maybe a lesbian will find me,,,,,,,,,,,

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

told the story before about how I only got any of the many low-level admin jobs I applied for once I stopped being honest about being trans I just didn’t say it and let them assume I was a cis girl, then just "forgot" to present my ID to HR until they forgot about it boom: respectable university job public-facing, too. not something they let trannies do if they can avoid it the thing that gets me is that I was going for charity and public sector shit, like these are supposed to be the good guys but I could see the transmisogyny manifest like a fucking aura when it came up the other method ofc was to sign up with a temp agency, because then you just get placed and you can temp to perm with people who have to let you work at least one day, even if they know you’re a tranny. and if you’re friendly and competent and normal, congrats, you can push through the latent TME tranny hate

on employment as a trans woman

You think I'm cringe?

Yea

You don't hate cis parents of trans kids enough.

Wow a charismatic suit who turns out to be a complete cunt. And he's a democrat? Has this ever been seen before?

I remembered I can draw literally whatever I want. So here's Godzilla as a butch biker punk. Enjoy.

Men’s feelings don’t need more space and attention, their feelings need to stop being a special gendered concern entirely. They don’t need more spaces special for Men and their allegedly unique Man feelings. They need to understand them as a common human experience they share in common with women.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm not one of those misandrist feminist dykes, lmao"

Skill issue.

A healthy social movement is a messy ecosystem, not a party bureaucracy.

I know that newbies want there to be a single monolithic The Organization that you can easily sign up to, that'll present some kind of inspiring sense of strength through numbers and unity, but that's actually *weakness.*

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.

Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

It's this calculation that led to one of the most important failures of antifascism in the UK - not going after groups like UKIP who posed as extreme conservatives. We're not beating shit out of individual racists but trying to stop them having power. Shitty views are not enough.

When you say "don't talk to cops" there's always a guy who thinks he's smart enough to get information out of them and ignores the advice and that guy is exactly the person that should never talk to cops.

It’s even worse than this, it’s “attempting to cover up child suicides because they want to enact policies they know will cause more child suicides”

Mussolini is not Stalin: "Hitler realized no more than the programme of social democracy but without the socialists. Stalin is not FDR: "...the conception of the men from Moscow is based on fundamentally the same theoretical methods as that of the reformists." FDR is not Mussolini: "You want to know what Fascism is like? It is like your new deal." All are Social Democrats.

And so ultimately Social Democracy, Fascism, and Leninism are operating off the same fundamental logics of nations, borders, police, law, order, security, so on and so forth and will engage in virtually the same manner feeding into the Fascizing trajectory of Liberalism and the Capitalist mode of

ai isn't art
kill god
create smut

If a take about the Epstein files doesn’t explicitly acknowledge the role of patriarchy and gendered violence I throw it in the garbage.

Possibly one of my more controversial opinions but failing to deal with your trauma and enacting harm on others because of it, because you're afraid or reluctant to do the work you need to recover, is a moral failing.

“protecting women and children” means first and foremost “women and children should be property without autonomy, subjugated by men”
there’s a reason why it’s literally part of the 14 words.

This is just the leftist version of the myth that all rapists are strangers in dark alleys, rather than relatives, fathers, boyfriends and so on.
All rich people (not just billionaires) shouldn't exist because capitalists shouldn't exist, whereas abolishing CSA implies destroying the POWER OF MEN!
