they're gonna name a fallacy after me one day

i respect people that ask stupid questions

mostly for initiating the discussion

the stock market is a mutual aid organization and food not bombs is not

it's also more of a dual power organization, according to anarchists' own definition

i think i actually read this in a mutualist piece some time

especifismo: stalinism with a black flag

situation or strategy?

dual power and mutual aid are descriptive categories, not strategies!

guys what if we titled the thing that we're doing currently The Good End State we hope to achieve? this will not delude ourselves, surely. btw i hate leninists that call the USSR socialism

less true of mutual aid but tbh that ones moreso trivially true and always around. you're doing charity and that's fine

she was sweet for indulging me, i'm glad she doesn't have to right now

there's a joke here somewhere about rorty or early nietzsche

metaphor is trying too hard but you get it lol

well it's not a metaphor that's just real life

will delete soon lol

old me was right that getting good at something is to some extent uncritically adopting it's internal logic

which is to say adorno was right about "joining in"

do you ever get the feeling you've imagined a synonym that simply doesn't exist and then forgotten it

this is a confusing way of saying i could have sworn there was a better word for "commandment" and i can't think of it

this is who you're asking to come in at 5:30 am

i should be nice its very very new, im just saying from current-day usability pov

flatpak is so mega ass dude omfg :sob: :sob: :sob:

i don't mean to be so dismissive because yea it's worth doing and yea it is necessary and genuinely individually transformative, albeit as basically a more action-oriented form of consciousness raising. theoretically the action could be leveraged further but like that's not happening.

it's also worth doing because the alternative is acquiescent accomodation to the status quo and while this is inevitable when weak, making a conscious effort to behave differently in the spaces granted as "private", you might as well try to make your action as utopian as you can imagine

it sucks less in the here-and-now for yourself and others and might help you imagine further. but yknow from a macro perspective i think it's fair to admit we're basically at "subversive poem" tier behavior

im well aware there are more ambitious projects of prefigurative institution building, some that could even be dual power, and these are a necessary precondition of a more complete consciousness raising. but the benefit of prefigurative politics is the slippage between the revolutionary and private

(i use "benefit" cynically here of course). you get to feel subversive and as a part of a larger struggle while not doing very much at all. which yknow, is fine. by the time you get over it you're likely to have some cool intuitive styles of relating that persist
