    itt: those in the priveledged position to rely on the state for defense of self and community would rob others of the ability to enforce their bodily autonomy and community defense.

    ‘only the [fascist] cops should be armed’ brain worms,

    enforcing the capital owning class’ monopoly of violence (against ourselves),

    a negative peace at the expense of justice.

    you know-- bootlickers.



  • argument through analogy is a logical fallacy, I’m not going to engage that.

    you’ve yet to convince me that further entrenching capitalism (which requires scarcity to the extent that it will create it where there need be none, and demands endless quarterly growth within a limited system) is a solution to the environmental destruction to which it contributes.

    it seems to me as though you would like to eat your cake and have it too.

    private ownership of capital is a race to the bottom, leading inevitably to unsustainable extraction of natural resources. The latter won’t be halted or reversed without abolishing the former.

    we need power to be distributed horizontally, not continue to be concentrated in fewer and fewer actors.

    scrub the influencer brainworms from your gray matter for one moment and produce a critical thought–

    engagement with what, exactly?

    the signal which carries no message is white noise.

    meaningless engagement is distraction, wasted bandwidth.

    an emoji is not a meaningful improvement to the material condition of the working class, or a threat to the status quo. It’s not even relevant to the abolition of work.
