go to mastodon

Anarchist, physicist, transhumanist. Really into exploring the roots of things and expanding degrees of freedom. Incurable moralist. Floating metal sphere. “Radically uncool.”

The entire reactionary wave is The Backlash To The Internet. The creation of the internet allowed anarchist (and similar) ideas to rapidly spread in influence. The resulting catalyzing culture of half-converted liberals (eg tumblr) went wide and irked selfish bastards who in turn unionized.

me: if people had told me when we negotiated the St. Paul Principles that people would be using this one-time use document in perpetuity, I wouldn’t have believed them. my fellow negotiator @rechelon.bsky.social, who is more sensible than I am: if people had told me that, I would have quit!

JD Vance took part in the "National Conservative" conference. "He later speculated that a “post-white America” would denigrate “much of the cultural, political, and social legacy that built the country” and spoke of a need to “reform” civil-rights laws." nymag.com/intelligence...

This is NYT’s portrait of a Trump rally, where the explicit agenda was putting millions of people in concentration camps before deporting them.

Gorcenski said it's inappropriate to compare what is happening in the US to the beginning of the holocaust and let me tell you as the descendant of survivors and as a student of the history that she is full of shit

IMHO one of the reasons neoreaction got popular is that reactionaries in america never really created mechanisms of social reproduction in the way that the left did and so yarvin was able to walk in, write a bunch of shit, and get outsized popularity b/c there was no one else

thats definitely a valid concern but despite tankies getting a lot of upswell on social media, far left activism is overwhelmingly dominated by anarchists and also anarchists naturally push back against tankies in terms of arguments
That experiencing of watching a small extremist group suddenly grow massively in reach has made me reticent to write off tankies as just nobodies. Neoreactionaries suck, tankies suck. Anything we can do to diminish the influence of either is time well spent.

Just utterly ghastly to be reminded liberals think casting a vote to direct the mountain of intuitional violence that is the state doesn't count as violence. You miss your shot more often casting a ballot, but if your vote ever made a difference it would cause far more violence.

“political violence” is when violence is done to a politician. everything they cause is a different thing and you shouldn’t worry about it

Everyone sneering that the dude was a "bad shot" should be required to make the same sort of shot at that distance and then on a target that twists and moves around abruptly. This is, weirdly, the part of the discourse rn I hate the most. Fuckin critics, man.

Suddenly getting hit with a bunch of emails from gun shops about discounts. So that's fun.

Apparent gunshots reported at Trump rally in Butler, PA, just now. Trump's ear appears bloodied as he's taken off-state. In the video, Trump is speaking, then there are some pops, then Trump touches his head, then everyone jumps on the ground. He pumped his fist a few times while leaving.

*there being prison. Despite the risk of extended jail time, Cyprus is committed to resisting the grand jury because it believes resistance is the best way to protect its community. This is both incredibly risky and the absolute right move to take, an example for all of us as the state cracks down

Cyprus has been subpoenaed to testify in a federal grand jury in August, and has decided to resist the subpoena. Grand jury resistance is both incredibly necessary and incredibly difficult as a judge can decide that the act is criminal contempt & hold someone there for the duration of deliberations.

I just deleted an entire page of sources and argumentation in my book and replaced it with the single sentence: "This is, of course, an audacious and immediately apparent lie to anyone other than guileless white hippies." The book is much better for it. Don't waste time.
