So, she kind of looked crazy to some at first. Her family has operational security measures that they must follow. Ex: a question like "Will you be home at 3:00p" will not get an answer since it asks about future whereabouts. When she converses in person, she asks phones to be left elsewhere.

But as we see rises in #politicalViolence, it now looks reasonable.

#Politics #Violence

@nm thanks for sharing. i skimmed your text:

> A philosophy against suffering cannot [...] build liberation through cruelty or peace through domination. If it does, then whatever purity it once had is gone.

without speaking about the specific incident, that made you write this post, i think there is a problem with this purity culture of #nonviolence. internally or externally, it pushes everyone to condemn the kirk shooter, to condemn hamas, and – as #MargaretKilljoy did repeatedly on her #podcast – to condemn animal liberation protesters. i'll link to that last one (as an example of what i dislike, even though it's by self-described "vegan" "anarchist" )

but — !
#racism is #politicalviolence.
#zionism is #politicalviolence.
#speciecism is #politicalviolence.
and all of these oppressive ideologies have killed and are killing disproportionately many
more people.

if we condemn these acts of so-called #politicalviolence towards oppressors and demand "peace", let's be careful that we're not asking for that #negativepeace, which #MLK describes all to clearly in his #LetterFromBirminghamJail.

Just learned about this Hasan Piker guy.

https://x.com/JeremiahDJohns/status/2043683447340691947

He's a Twitch streamer. That's a video of him promoting political violence. "Let the streets soak in their f[***]ng red capitalist blood"

An article on him, hoping the Democrats don't become a leftist version of #MAGA :

Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 (@JeremiahDJohns) on X

In addition to being an ideological authoritarian, Hasan routinely calls for political violence. Here he is calling for the murder of landlords, practically screaming "Let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood"

X (formerly Twitter)
"The moment that a people—or at least a plurality or otherwise-sizable portion of the people—stops settling its differences with the former and instead opts for the latter, self-government dies."
