they made a graph to upset me

also sorry em for the asymmetry of replying directly to u when you only subskeet, don’t mean to be a gnat

i really like the contrastive storytelling implied by the screenshot being dark mode

yknow what i’ll allow it

“why are you using dim theme?”

cases i had in mind when writing that: bluesky for former, work for latter

type 2 fun

its honestly fairly satisfying to read a work within a relatively small/tight knit literature, so you know all the references that are made

on the other hand it's stifling and boring to know that this is the best we've got

it's funny to describe it as "satisfying" when it's most directly experienced as "ugh, of course you'd cite him"

genuinely this is severely sad

what if there was a single anarchist who read hegel

With all this, actionism acquiesces to the trend it intends or pretends to struggle against: the bourgeois instrumentalism that fetishizes means because its form of praxis cannot suffer reflection upon its ends

i very much dislike when one definition is given to a specific category to the neglect of its alternative meanings and applications

the answer is unfortunately something *sigh* dialectical where you can integrate those multifarious aspects into the single term and address each of its moments of interaction that progress the whole discussion (or system, depending on how grandiose your aims are)

there is something about a stipulated definition for an article-length piece that is exactly appropriate, it's perfectly applicable there and not out of place. there is an implicit demand that the reader understand the limitation. when given more room the writer has an obligation to be more thorough

sometimes ppls writing gives early liberal vibes, in the sense of "random observations"

i really love kasey and it makes me happy when people treat her softly with kindness

she is an evil goblin script ready to run rampant in ur system but shes also a sweetheart

yknow how david graeber talks about seasonal political structures that flexibly alternate between more authoritarian and more horizontal modes? my attractiveness and presentability are kind of like that, except the seasons are going out and doing gay shit instead of harvest time or w/e

yknow that section in the german ideology that's like "hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner"? i'm like that but "anarchist when reading a marxist, nietzschean when reading an anarchist, feminist when i'm reading a nietzschean..."

actually the crimethinc quote fits much better here but i already wrote that out

"We are anarcho-syndicalists on the shop floor, green anarchists in the woods, social anarchists in our communities, individualists when you catch us alone, anarcho-communists when there’s something to share, insurrectionists when we strike a blow."

im having a great time btw but i do hope its over soon

this is what every anarchist book sounds like

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 😭bertrand😭russel😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

this is a comedy skit istg

okay he's just trying to see how much he can get away with at this point. noam chomsky r u shitting me

"its true that these are vital individual and political goods, but uhhh inequality is unfair and it's harder for poor people to do things so its oppressive to expect they could possibly be up to the task" you'd be so much happier as a social democrat, deport some immigrants while you're at it

SMOL BEAN FASCISM IS EVERYWHERE

one thing you can say about christians at least from a fuerbachean-marxist standpoint is that at least they were able to construct and projectively identify with a more powerful being that could imaginatively achieve things. the secularized acquiescence is all the more flacid by comparison

im gonna crash out we've completely lost the plot and given up

i was planning on ignoring this earlier part for you but since you insist on telling on yourself, whatever man go right ahead

slave morality bullshit dude, you suck

there is no such thing as "relationship activism"

there is such a thing as "relationship actionism"

some times u have to realize ur being murray bookchin and stop urself

"i'm not an anarchist i'm a social ecologist" man shut up

also tho some anarchists' takeaway from him being wrong about lifestylism is that they can clear their consciences and be proudly useless which, erm

i'm not saying you should be useful (i don't know how either) but at least exercise a bit of shame about it

they should verify em

it'll happen when they bless fastpay :trogi:

right-libertarianism has similarities with anarchist communism (AC), but is even broader: while AC doesn't allow for hierarchical economic relations and won't endorse making a distinction between racial classes, right-libertarianism embraces any organizational style that is consensual, growthful, or

oh okay we're just saying shit now

this is what "non-normativity" gets you, dumbasses!

i am deeply unimpressed by hypocrisy

like, as used as an unmasking device. it's just weak and pathetic and weird. people will say internal criticism but that has a much different moral tone

"i am differently abled" ok

update: i got supremely bored with the nazi shit and gave up
