Fuck Allison you really needed to read some theroy, possibly also a grammar book
Okay so society specifically imperialist based society is justified by supposed basic state of eternal warfare when there is no centralised power right? But what is capitalism if not that this is an economic system built on the fundamental of inter-personal individualistic warfare.
This is a world where you go to war against your fellow man every day, and just because it’s an economic war that doesn’t always manifest as direct violence makes it no less horrifying, scaring or deadly.
When the time isn’t right to fight in the streets, when revolution isn’t here I propose that anti-capitalist action is to form groups, communities, to form gangs that fight this capitalist war for the group rather than the individual.

Tbh this was a fuckin ride from start to finish and it made accidentally opening this app entirely worth it
like french people literally think that because they legalized same sex marriage before a lot of other countries and they have free health care and all that they’re somehow beacons of progressive policy in the western world like….. ok but you still arent dealing with the rampant islamophobia in your country and you’re still totally ignoring your country’s legacy of racist imperialism all the way through the late 20th century in algeria so………. are you REALLY better??

It isn’t even a choice under capitalism, it’s the function of the roles that must exist in the present system to generate profit
Everyone needs to understand that the capitalist class would rather kill all life on Earth, including, ultimately themselves, then give up their money or their power. This isn’t a hypothetical thing, by the way; the oil companies have already made that choice.

I don’t want to kill people and I don’t want to support the killing of people. I don’t really want to kill fascists, I don’t want people who are fascists to be killed. I feel that shit, pacifist instincts are strong on the left and certainly opposition to fascism is often born out of a disgust for the violence perpetrated by fascist regimes.
I’ll even go so far as to admit that many of those who we call fascists are followers of manipulative fascist cults that utilise the fucked up biases and prejudices people are likely to pick up to exploit them.
The thing is though that the danger they pose to society is an immense risk and as that risk escalates it gets closer and closer to a kill or be killed (or worse) senario. It is essential under circumstances that have existed and which may exist again to kill fascists and it sucks but ought implies can and we cannot under any circumstances tolerate fascists. We cannot allow fascists power. And all the pacifist intent in the world means fuck all to that goal. Fascists dying is not a bad thing if it is essential to human life and wellbeing at a societal level and that’s what’s on the line.
“antifa never killed anybody” is not only not true if you also want to claim the heritage of the original antifaschistische aktion, but even if you’re just talking about the recent 2015-onward incarnation in the US, it’s not gonna be true forever, and you need to get used to that. eventually a fascist will be killed by antifascists, and if your whole argument relies on the idea that white supremacists are violent while antifascists are not, it’s gonna fall apart. fascists dying is not a bad thing

I was pretty bummed to look into this and find that it was probably created by liberals to mock the Northern Colorado secessionist movement rather than by the secessionists. I love overly detailed flags because I love the idea of small children having to draw them.

The proposed flag of Northern Colorado is something else

You should probably also have something to measure the temperature if you’ve not fried a lot of stuff before speaking from past experience catching my kitchen on fire.

Also, I don’t watch a lot of that kind of thing, but it seems like as far as easily accessible media goes creators have a lot more freedom right now in that space than they do in others which spawns more authentic and interesting work.
Maybe all the twentysomethings are obsessed with cartoons because all the “adult” shows show the same traumas, frustrations, and anxieties we already have to deal with 24/7.
Sometimes you just wanna watch a princess of power or a magical alien child do fancy magic stuff in a lower-stakes world where you can be reasonably sure you won’t be subjected to depictions of extreme violence, gore, assault, and sex without warning, ya dig?

It’s so weird having older millennials talk about how old they are and how they used to party and shit but then also have people the same age as them just like still doing the whole young and wild and free thing.
It’s like 35 just isn’t old hun, I might be ten years younger than you but it feels like we’re all the same age just with different priorities. I don’t fuckin party anymore either...

On the other hand if all the worlds leftists defect to Russia...
Leftist: if you look at this democrats publically available voting record they’ve done a lot of awful things continuously over their whole career and there is documentation of it readily available so you can confirm this for yourself if you just Google it

They could like also return the wealth, valuables and land appropriated in their name or directly to the indigenous peoples of the former Empire. Ya know seeing as it was only like 60 years ago that they abolished the title ‘Emperor of India’ and the British Empire was not acknowledged as being over by the Royal Family until 1997 at the end of the British Lease of Hong Kong where they finally lost their last major overseas territory and Charles very sadly declared it the “end of empire”. Shit the ‘crown’ only just fairly recently recognised that some indigenous people here in Aotearoa, New Zealand didn’t ever cede sovereignty and yet sovereignty is still withheld by the Crown.
I mean all solidarity with the hungry and deprived working class children of Britain (I gave like $100 to British trans kids the other week for a service that should be funded by the NHS #TeethGang) but also with all the working class children who have been robbed of their birthright and wellbeing by the legacy of empire.
the queen could literally intervene and stop british children from being so malnourished that there has been a widespread return of rickets in the country but she won’t. kate and baldy could do something about this instead of going to various ex-colonies of britain and lecturing locals about the dangers of having too many children whilst they are expecting their third inbred freeloader but they won’t. megan markle and ginger are going on a £120,000 honeymoon. whilst children forced into poverty by the tories fill their pockets with food at school just to get through the weekend. the lifestyle and entitlement of the royal family remains absolutely and completely morally indefensible.

Ya know I’m actually probably guilty of misandry sometimes, but ya know what? It doesn’t even fucking matter because it has no structural or material effect and also the fellas are out constantly feeding my confirmation bias to the point that it’s just a healthy skepticism. Y’all can work on yourselves while I focus my introspective energies on examining biases which are unfair and do matter.

Procter & Gamble is out here pulling $10 billion a year in profits and could literally buy a military (the nz armed forces have an operational budget half that) while these fucking weird men are out here with their wee guns talking like someone threatened to castrate them with blunt razors and opposing the institutions that prevent companies like this from wanting or being able to actually have their own armies.

It’s sad because no one with actual money is going to be taking advice from the daily mail. The Headline should be how to protect your imaginary potential wealth from a man you imagine will potentially nationalise it.

I'm not gonna watch that dudes video but God damn if anyone deserves to be robbed..
Nah fuck actually watching his crap, but either way his social media presence has been pretty fucking destroyed, his Twitter is locked down, his Instagram got deleted or something so he remade and all the posts are from today with all the comments just about how much of a racist, ugly piece of shit he is. He’s still uploading on YouTube but it doesn’t look like he ever got big there anyway.
Honestly though I’d be pretty happy to rob him. Makes me reminisce about being a teenage anarchist fucking with bougie shitheads and their stuff.
