The Quuuuuill

i’m always excited to recommend it! there’s probably nothing more influential or more driving to my ethical-political outlook on the world than her and Carol Gilligan. it is not strictly speaking an anarchist text but it is extremely influential in modern anarchist circles.

it’s also SUCH a departure from so much prior male driven philosophical examinations of ethics, and it really opens some eyes about what becomes possible and how the world can be different when people with hegemonic privilege shut the fuck up and listen for a minute. it made all that time i wasted studying philosophy in college worth it haha (by my senior year when i met my philosophical mentor i was feeling really depressed and jaded about what a waste of time studying philosophy had been as i was facing the prospect of never having a well paying job and not knowing what to do about how fucked the world is all the time)

also to piggyback, does anyone have any good books about effective propaganda i can recommend to people? i know the basic pattern and put into practice:

1. identify something about your audience
2. give them something to agree/identify with
3. associate a positive message with what they agree with
4. create mass presence of this messaging so they see it everywhere
5. wait for someone to give them in person verbal confirmation

but i lack any concrete published theory to give to people to read if they’re interested in changing 21st century minds

Mutual Aid - Dean Spade

Ethics of Care - Virginia Held

if that

for anyone interested in picking a lane:

• rap: here, specifically, is how america is fucked
• punk: I’M MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
• funk: they want to see us sad, but i refuse to be
• bluegrass:

in 1872 my pappy was born on the coal fields of eastern kentucky. his mother loved him even though he didn’t look a thing like his daddy. his daddy loved him too. he looked just like the mine boss. you see back then the only way to make ends meet was for the woman of the family to supplement the income of her husband with sex work. but they loved him for being their son regardless of what he looked like. but i swear to fucking god, if i ever meet that sumbitch James Donald Bowman i’m going to break this goddamn banjo over his fucking head for reperpetuating my suffering by pretending to speak for me. because i love jesus, and that’s what jesus would have done. he whipped bankers, afterall

hotel. these adhoc ICE protests are outside of the major chain hotels DHS books reservations for their agents at

i don’t understand how that negates the utility of a mobile app that presents this information. also i’m not saying to get rid of the server-client paradigm, not sure what you’re talking about

status. part of the impetus of the development of piefed was a frustration with how the lemmy devs treated people who tried to get onboarded to help with the development of lemmy. i can go into more depth about how this is a reflection of how the lemmy devs see the world, but i don’t necessarily feel like hashing all that out when i have bigger fascists to fry

there’s a black market for human skulls and skeletons that mostly caters to racists who still believe in phrenology

phone apps can’t use activity pub as that’s a server protocol so if you want a good mobile interface you generally speaking need a rest-y api that an application can query. yes, lemmy and piefed both feature PWA frontends that can be installed to your homescreen, however on older phones this can be an extremely suboptimal experience as PWAs tend to require more RAM than native apps.

wildly unhelpful, @alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com . you’ve jumped straight back into reinforcing false binaries. i agree that the person you are replying to is in the wrong, but caping for authoritarianism is NOT OKAY.

you could just leave it at that a foreign occupying nation enacting an extraction economy on a people is wrong, immoral, unjust, and doesn’t bring anyone closer to liberation. instead you “pray for [someone’s] oppression”

i’m going back to blocking you and this community, but i’m going to ask you this. what do you want the world to be? just a bunch of campist fighting so long as you get to attack some liberals? enjoy. i want no part of it. i want to build a better world from the ashes of the old rather than renewing past mistakes.

accelerationism, making things worse for people, does not bring us closer to liberation. working and organizing into a robust movement of the people does. we cannot be free as long as we’re all just picking which imperial dictator’s to support rather than working together to burn them all down

i think he sucks, but i don’t think it’s good he’s gone. this hasn’t brought venezuelans closer to liberation. the opposite, in fact. i think the people celebrating just aren’t familiar with what a foreign occupying extractive economy does to a people

My apologies! Yes. I was more interested in saying “We need more of us, and we need to get coordinated”

“Tyrant” for the common 2A crowd meant “Someone who seriously disrupts the status quo of patriarchal white supremacy. You know. Like a black woman”

There’s a few out there who genuinely intend to use access to violence to protect their community from systemic violence. But that is a vast minority. I see a lot of lemmings thinking that the 2A crowd was speaking in good faith. They were not. And because of the political culture of America collapsing complex political spectrums into binaries that largely exist by virtue signaling, anyone who is against this should be presumed gunless, and anyone with a gun should be considered pro-this.

If anyone is interested in how ICE is just imperialism turned inwards (one of the definitions of fascism) I recommend this book

I am not endorsing Hamas as the legitimate leadership of Palestine. But I am saying that there is no credible evidence of rape and murder of civilians “as resistance.” You are perpetuating a harmful zionist talking point uncritically and it does the work for who you claim not to support for them. The world is filled with enough injustice to speak truth into the world about how genocide and the starving of children is wrong without doing what you’re doing here.

You’re posting hasbara again, and what’s more is it’s “every accusation is a confession” shit with a growing mountain of evidence that Israel military forces like the IDF and IOF use sexual violence to terrorize Palestinian civilians as well as incoming aid workers trying to help starving children.

Please stop re-perpetuating this harmful and wrong misinformation.

Would you be fine with me calling you “sis?”

The notion of “everyone is ‘dude’ or ‘guys’” supports a patriarchal hegemonic understanding of the world

also mastery over fire has been a super power for millennia. now we can purchase portable fire from the gas station for $0.99, but for some reason many of us treat this as something only for degenerates. a lighter and a knife are useful for a great many things and i recommend learning how to carry and use them safely as a general preparedness skill

on white men, specifically
