Got any info on that user script? Y’know, just for educational purposes

No.

40 hours a week isn’t some magic number that we have to adhere to. We should be working less.

Isn’t WSWS run by Trotskyists?

MAGA types

I think Germany might have its own thing to compare the AfD to…

Great, we can keep being perpetually blood feuding with eachother for all eternity, great solution, once we’ve exiled and eradicated all hateful people the remainder will live in peace and prosperity forever.

This is not Fanon’s point, nor is it mine. The Wretched of The Earth Is a seminal text on colonialism for good reason. In it, Fanon is grappling with what it means for the colonized to violently resist.

The settler state is already violent. We just don’t usually conceive of state violence as such. Fanon is correct in the same way that the way to deal with a schoolyard bully is to stand up and confront him. Not appeal to his better angels.

(It’s not like that thinking isn’t basically how we got here or anything)

This misunderstands the situation. This isn’t some ancient conflict where both sides are equivalent. The Israeli state is the aggressor here, and that aggression has a clear beginning, with at least the Nakbah.

The land itself is the thing being fought over. Not some nebulous blood feud. The land, the capacity to live on it, work on it, cultivate it, to have history on that land. These are things being denied to the native Palestinians by the Israeli state.

The solution here is the right of return for all displaced Palestinians, restoration of their civil liberties, language rights, etc. So they might be able govern themselves, as they see fit.

For a colonized people the most essential value, because it is the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity -The Wretched of The Earth

The starving peasant, outside the class system is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization is simply a question of relative strength.

• Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

For the starving people of Gaza, who have lived their entire lives in what amounts to the world’s largest concentration camp, the time for “changed behaviour” from Israel is long passed, if it was ever there to begin with.

Him, and Jesus, apparently

in for

I think we’ve been in one. After Trump got shot, I predicted that political assassination would be the “cool thing” among the stochastic terrorism types, and that seems to have been true, between Luigi, That guy who killed those legislators in MN, and now this.

I’ll say it

Ok, but you shouldn’t

-Literally doctors in trans medicine until very upsettingly recently

You used to only cleared for HRT or surgery if your doctor thought you’d look hot afterwards

If it helps, you see, he was “in government” at the time so he had no choice but to be a shit eating sycophant who told the president whatever he thought he wanted to hear.

“Just following orders” is very famously not a defense for being complicit in a genocide

She’s got a couple of different podcasts. Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, which is a radical history podcast on the same podcast network as BTB, and Live Like The World is Dying which is a show about prepping.

My first exposure to her was actually by listening to an interview she did for the guerilla radio station operated out of The ZAD, which is in France, and is the largest Anarchist autonomous zone in Europe.

Margaret Killjoy

Definitely seconding this recommendation. I’ve really liked Margarets Killjoy’s more adult sci-fi/fantasy output, for a long time. The Free Orcs of Cascadia is a personal favorite.

But she recently wrote a YA fantasy novel called The Sapling Cage which is really wonderful.

Lol, lmao even

I think permanently carving the faces of a bunch of genocidal slave owners into an indigenous people’s sacred mountain, is infinitely more offensive than a marginalized group temporarily putting up a flag.

Indigenous folks opinions about the pride flag protest are most certainly varied. Collapsing all indigenous Peoples has having a single opinion is the real white people behavior.

The Gooner Liberation Front will rise

How can they be tankies AND give a shit about what the Pope says?

There are Catholic Communists. The world does not conform to your perception of drama on a tiny collection of web forums.
