"But anarchy president, I just want to feel safe!"
Well now that's too bad buckaroo, because from now on, you're gonna see the face of God every time you go to the grocery

after the revolution, when I'm anarchy president: Due to new safety procedures, all interior surfaces of motor vehicles must be covered in a variety of knives.

airbags, seat belts, etc. are there just to externalize more of the costs of cars

(I'm using onion links for everything now to lightweight guilt ppl into using tor, a policy I'm sure A! would have hated, but w.e deal with it 🕶️)

"That impossible task set I share with you is the closest thing I would put forward as a recommended practice. A world-weary rebuilding of the very reasons we should do things together at all. A practice I am myself incapable of participating in because I have been broken by the same things as you. My mind is no longer limber enough to learn a new language. My heart is too scarred to do something so honest with a group of new people and too experienced to do it with the monsters I surround myself with (for other reasons). To go deep enough to subvert the conditioning and violence of this world is just impossible enough that I can imagine the kind of person who would attempt it but I have no idea what will result, even in a best case scenario."

it takes conscious effort to not make fun of William Gillis constantly

I think it's funny how the most vocal critics of anything fediverse on twitter are all accounts that seem to cater to fostering thousands of followers. I have my critiques of the fediverse, but "I can't engage with a massified audience" is sure as shit not one lol

@nausikaa I've got takes for insurrectos too, don't worry ;)

I've got more takes, but I'll save them for later. I promise I'm nice, but I'm sure I can find something to piss off everyone eventually ;)

just as liberalized democracies removed regicide as a viable option to destabilize the existing order, decentralized technologies are more robust and therefore by default more resistant to social change

people who claim that good texts or ideas are better with obfuscated wording and jargon to force some level of investment to engage with them are just seeking ways to delude themselves into feeling smarter and/or cooler

any Revolution possible in this world, even an "anarchist" one, would suck

things like antifa are popular on the left because it's easier to advocate physically attacking literal fascists than it is to interrogate the ways institutional and infrastructural racism continue to benefit you, despite the latter being far more impactful than chuds will ever be

"degrowth" is anti-civ for people who want to defund the police

all positive projects are coping mechanisms. there is no path from "here" to "there", so all truly anarchist positions are destructive.

To break in this account, I'm gonna start off with some hot takes
