the knife missile is so emblematic of the entire military industrial complex. can’t stop engaging in unnecessary resource wars due to unnecessary casualties. instead, the military industrial complex will develop and sell a product to allow the killing of specific people in public spaces. and the more you think about the idea of being at a produce stand and someone standing next to you turning into a fine red mist, never to exist in physical space again, the more distopian it seems.

it reminds me of the episode of star trek where they encounter a planet that has eliminated war via coordinated computer simulations and voluntary genocides.

the regulations on intensity never presumed we’d use such small arrays to produce that intesity. in the cabin, the lights projected onto the road don’t seem that different from 20 years ago. but from the other way it’s dazzling

my c posts in my 2020 car are so big that i frequently have no idea there’s a pedestrian right in front of me about to enter a crossing. it stresses me out

both saw each other as important to furthering their own goals

fundamentally anarcho-transhumanism is a social libertarian position that “my body, my choice” is true about a great many things. anarcho-transhumanists celebrate scientific advancements that allow a person to alter or modify their body as they see fit.

the national org did but the local groups are still active. probably look for things that say either “redneck revolt” or “john brown society”

a company has no moral guiding principals outside of monetary gain. its board of directors members may have their own individual viewpoints, but as a collective, a corporation is representative only of the shareholder’s shared interest in making some money. if they wanted anything else, they would collectivize into another form.

generally speaking the best, i mean the best, you can expect from a BoD member is liberalism and all that entails. from a liberal perspective, pacifism is a virtue to be signaled, not an overall approach to the world with a goal of bringing about a just and fair society. liberals preaching non-violence don’t really care if someone is preaching violence so long as they don’t practice violence and the results of the preaching of violence remain unseen.

that’s how you wind up with liberals saying that the founder of turning point usa did things the right way and denouncing someone doing exactly the things he said were good to do, but moreover, denouncing people who have trained in violence accessing that violence in self defense. in the fight between fascism and anything other than fascism, violence must be used to denounce fascism because it is the only language fascists speak. you can use non-violence to interact with other political positions. those are positions who do not practice solely violence. but fascism believes access to violence grants license to use that violence. you can only counter this belief by rendering it scared to show itself in public

there’s also difference between being correct and being effective. right wing propaganda machines program people to exist in binaries and young leftists, new initiates i mean, have to break out of that. they have to learn to listen to the problems people are experiencing and talk about how to address those problems rather than fixating on an us/them dichotomy

real life leftists are fun as hell to be around. if anyone’s looking for some:

• IWW
• CWA
• Redneck Revolt

the precolonial societies that eliminated their hierarchies have a very consistent pattern of continuing to train military practices while also practicing pacificism. i’m not saying that’s the answer for a post colonial society, just that humanity has escaped from hierachy before and people living within the three empires probably need to do an uptick in listening, and that distributed access to violence amongst pacifists is likely part of it

ah. alright. okay. got it. that’s on me. what i was describing would be more eutopian then

anarchism, marxism, feminism, egalitarianism, anti-racism. these are all deeply interrelated utopianist movements.

they exist and they smell weird (probably, idk, this is intentional slander)

i’mma dip all your insoles in elmer’s glue!

CoMaps is GOATed. i need to make some edits in my neighborhood

there’s a reason i coalition build best with religious anarchists while myself being an agnostic. there’s actually a ton of radical political thought in theology if you can get away from a hierarchically programmed preacher long enough to study it yourself.

there’s a song i love titled Owed to a Hypocrite about how the politician and the preacher walk down the road hand in hand oppressing all us regular people

what’s google got to do with it? this is an article about a product develeped at GitHub (now a microsoft subsidiary) causing problems with Windows and the thumbnail is showing produts from the following companies:

• facebook
• discord
• microsoft
• microsoft
• microsoft
• microsoft

like. look. i hate google. they partner with israel to conduct genocide (don’t use waze, btw, or better yet, don’t use any google products). but this seems like not looking at the whole of how evil all of big tech is just to focus on how evil one company in big tech is

the original two axis map i think shows things on a vertical axis of how tolerant you are of state violence and the horizontal axis of how tolerant you are of proxy violence (but this is rooted in my view that money is representative of theft and is a tool of oppression). this new version kind of presumes that both kinds of violence are tightly coupled which is… hard to argue against, but it still flattens rather than complicates the chart when the problem with the original chart is it is a right-wing biased over simplification

it’s uniquely cancerous in that regard, isn’t it? fascinating shit
