The nazis themselves were not some clever masterminds where everything they did went perfect. They were also comical idiots who did ridiculous things, like invading Russia in the winter.

They gained power because the opposition couldn’t understand that the fascists were not rational agents.

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law “I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story,” Thunberg said during a press conference following her release.

remember…13 years ago? when millennials couldn’t be pried away from avocado toast long enough to go to work in between group therapy sessions? and now they don’t believe in sleep and want to live in tubes in the office unlike the wretched zoomers and their fucking fortnite who just don’t want to wo

An illustration. In the foreground, two figures sit on a downed tree and embrace. There is a gasoline can and two spicy cocktails in the ferns surrounding them. They look down at a valley which has a prison on fire in it. There is a decorative leaf border around the whole illustration.

our melody is louder than a shout

We don't tbh. I think the important thing to recognise is that the ideological incapacity has followed the hollowing out of traditional working class power. The working class is no longer able to inflict pain on the state and capital in measured ways and the state has responded in kind.

I mean fuck Rowling but fuck Jensen too tbh.

Crucially: a majority of Jewish-Americans aged 18-34 are not “emotionally attached” to Israel.

50% of them say Israel has committed genocide.

This was a big split in the early 00s movement against Blairite ID cards. The libs and the trade union left all ended up in bed with UKIP in No2ID and got completely outflanked when we got a limited scheme aimed at asylum seekers which was supported by the racists.

a post which says "you know considering the tweets shaun made downplaying trump im not surprised his first video in awhile doesn’t mention any crimes trump has done but is instead just the equivalent of leftist cotton candy"

comments like this can fully drive you mad if you let them. fists balled, yelling at the sky - "i rattle off a whole list of terrible things trump has done in the first 2 minutes!" - not me tho. i'm very chill, about this

My only take about Mr Beast is that every time I go to the grocery store he has a whole stand of energy bars with his face on it there, and I remember I live in Europe and it's so friggin' weird man

Safety Advice:

I keep seeing young trans people on social media talking about therapists disrespecting their pronouns and parents telling them that the therapist has a right to their beliefs.

I want to be clear: you have a right to the therapy room being a safe supportive space for YOUR growth.

Obviously, there is nothing in the nature of majorities, that insures justice at their hands.

What was so central in historical struggles for the trial by jury was the necessity of unanimity. Juries are the only place in our government where a small minority of average citizens or even a single veto can turn back the tide of state repression.

Antifascism is real.
Antifa groups are real.
Trump’s ‘war zone’ in Portland is fake.

Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump A new Homeland Security report details orders to connect protesters arrested in Portland to one another in service of the Trump's imaginary antifa plot.

Good time to refresh this read from 2020.

"DHS analysts recounted orders to generate evidence [that] would have served to legitimize President Trump’s false claims about “Antifa" [which] even his most loyal intelligence officers failed to drum up proof ever existed." gizmodo.com/donald-trump...

But this of course means that when certain "abolitionists" speak of "the community" and "peace holders" in ways that layer on hippie vibes it's important to realize that vibes don't matter, structure does, and "the community" is often just functionally The State reskinned.

There's nothing philosophically distinct about "police" as opposed to the mafia or MS-13, they simply have more numbers with more centralization and thus can bring more murderous force to bear on you.

A difference in "vibe," aesthetics, or excuses is not a real difference in structure or function.

Reject Trans Doom-Posting This week I took the long train down to the south of England for my friend Robyn’s funeral. She died very suddenly three weeks ago, aged just 32. Robyn gave so much love to the world, and was so lo…

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING.

It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment.

It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.

'Transphobes hate the word cisgender so if someone says cis, they can't possibly be transphobic' is not a take I was prepared to see lol.

Discusses the start of the moral panic about vaccines.

I had to explain Tony Blair's obsession with ID cards to a 22 year old today and I've never felt more ancient.

I'm jealous that they have no memory of him as well

Hello people can we please use our brains and not share posts claiming digital ID is because of (((the Rothschilds))) just because you agree that it's an authoritarian privacy invasion thanks

jesse what the fuck is this

(I use the mud to attach the old computer parts to girl)

there's some far-right eugenicists (not linking them, IFYKYK) who are like "leftism is literally dysgenic because leftists are inferior because [metric]" who cite these sorts of studies to back up their claims

anyway lmao

Probably the only poem I memorized:

"Love is contraband in Hell, cause love is an acid that eats away bars. But you, me, and tomorrow hold hands and make vows that struggle will multiply. The hacksaw has two blades. The shotgun has two barrels. We are pregnant with freedom. We are a conspiracy."

it's more than affinity fraud, altho it certainly is a TYPE of affinity fraud. it's more than simply the wounded bird (altho that is a tactic this type of abuser uses.) it's something specifically about survivor-centered spaces that operate on mutual trust and support and vulnerability
