In short, the rich exist because of the state, and the state exists because of the rich.

Remember when there was a moral panic over fidget spinners? Funniest shit I ever seen tbh

Defacing a statue of Anne Frank with the message “Free Gaza” is blatant anti-Semitism. It is premised on the association of all Jewish people with the present actions of the Israeli state, including children like Frank who was murdered by the Nazis years before the Israeli state was formed.

The use of the word "antisemitism" to silence conversations is really getting tiring. FYI: Antisemitism is the hatred of the Jews, and can include antisemitic tropes like the "Jewish conspiracy" or "blood libel" ones. Anything else, criticizing Israel, criticizing Zionism, criticizing the US, writing "free Gaza" on an Anne Frank statue, even criticizing a group of Jews, as long as its not about them being Jews, is not antisemitism. I will not back down on this.

@Coms I would say that calling self-immolation a purely symbolic act is so egregiously gross I can’t even fathom saying it. Literally go fuck yourself
Another person self-immolated in the US over Gaza and no one gives a shit.

The Silicon Valley New Right and the Neo-reactionary quest to “disrupt” democracy.

Me: Yo, JD just said he's fighting an "internal battle that is a continuation of the civil war" and he's "on the side of the south"
Edgy Dems: "Um ok and where's the surprise tho?"

Acting smug in the face of overt white nationalism doesn't stop it. Surprise or no, breaking news or "not really news tbqh," we've got a murderous thielspawn neoconfederate on the loose. That's very bad news no matter how predictable it may be for those blessed with future vision.
Let no one get off the hook for this behavior, especially right now.

Honestly the only side effect of having Venezuelan and Haitian immigrants come to your city is that the music, culture, food, and dancing all become significantly better

Spot-on observations on AI "art" by @pluralistic, echoing an unease I wasn't too sure how to describe.

"The most febrile, deeply weird and authentic prompts of the most excluded outsiders produce images that feel the same as the corporate AI illustrations that project the illusion of personality from the immortal, transhuman colony organism that is the limited liability corporation."

We can talk about anarchist preparations to counter the rise of fascism being necessary regardless of who wins in November, but the reality is that they are two very different strategies.
