Damn. You’re annoying

How should he be defended?

Seems to me a matter of arguing that, a person put in a circumstance in which they endure immense and sustained, sometimes chronic pain, or loss; who is full aware that they are gatekept from a medicine, procedure or healthcare service which drastically ameliorates or outright prevents that suffering, in seeing the unneccesary cruelty for sake of some rich monster getting another yacht, and under immense anguisu, or grief may suffer a form of fugue state in which they cannot be considered to have acted of their own sound mind, but instead induced by the actor who by the pen created their suffering.

I asked them if they wanted to hear a funny joke.

Then i spoilered “go fund yourself”

I did not say fund.

Ig some people found that funny, and a mod didnt.

I dont find the person I told to fund themself, to be here in good faith.

Have a nice day!!

Tl;dr i dislike hypocrisy of those whonare silent until it affects the privileged who arent conditioned to not be in the shoes of the marginalized.

Vanilloids in the thead need to take a fuckin joke. See my other post in thread. I dont have the energy nor obligation to unpack the deeplore (tl;dr incels appropriated/co-opted the term from a woman and femcel memes are a kind-of spiritual successor and reclamation which is fuzzywarmbutedgyposting) and the MRA’s in the thead are soggy about what is imo fairly mild humor given the traumas we commiserate. (Not like it matters but im happily partnered in >1 lesbian relationships; heart goes to my sadgrrl club all the same)

Ima be real w u, as a woman, in this economy, rent’s fucking expensive so if someone from c/femcelmemes wants to set me up like this, set me up with an ethernet line and it’s a deal.

One major idea from feminsm is your gender shouldnt matter. Yeah no shit, locking up anyone agaisnt their consent is fucked up. Take a joke snowflake 🙄 /hj

Gender’s a scam. Stop making up a guy to be indignant about. You only care when you have a status quo to defend and like it or not, men benefitn from their percieved status where women have to work so much harder to be taken seriously.

Thats exactly why Ill reply with this, and refuse to engage in any debate or what abouts. Yku dont have to worry about policing your thoughts and having others police them the way women do. Do not have time to allow you to ratchet the overton window rightward gg ez 🤷‍♀️

Lol the cishets arent ready for this joke. It triggers them. Oh no their safe space. We must contain ourselves to our widdle queer subforums and never disturb their hive mentality /s

I remind myaelf of this all the time, to the point that this post pretty much wins the thread.

(Which is on top of:

Sanity is overrated No i mean it i reject Sanism )

🫶 In practice, every locality people are being the rescue workers to their neighbors Whenever and whereever Corporate & State institutions inevitably give way to their own weight and parasitism, the darker the times, the brighter folks shine. It isnt always intentional solidarity (rural townfolk often embody the practices as a matter of survival and culture, diverse as any peoples), and I’m always leery of calling things “natural”…but I do believe people have a tendency to want to help one another.

Local Mutual Aid organizations, and Encouraging anti-authoritarian parenting methods, are the two things we can do to drastically reduce violence in our society

“Practicing mutual aid is the surest means for giving each other and to all the greatest safety, the best guarantee of existence and progress, bodily, intellectually and morally.” Mutual Aid By Pëtr Kropotkin https://thereitis.org/kropotkins-mutual-aid/ https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-mutual-aid-a-factor-of-evolution https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anarcho-mutual-aid-an-introduction-and-evaluation

“The structures of our state economies are going to matter in terms of protecting democracies, and by that I mean if you look at economies that were based in the kind of small producer economies like New England was vs states like the South and the American West that were always built on the idea of very high capital using extractive methods to get resources out of the land either cotton or mining or oil or water or agri business, those economies always depend on a few people with a lot of money, and then a whole bunch of people who are poor and doing the work for those Rich guys – and that I’m not sure is compatible in terms of governance without addressing the reality that you know if people have more of a foothold in their own communities, they are then more likely to support the kinds of legislation that Community [Education, Healthcare, …] and that may be the future of democracy, if not a national democracy"

Our resulting interactions may seem chaotic and illegible to authority, but it is through that seeming chaos that vastly complex, horizontal, and resilient practices of learning, cooperation, and reciprocity have historically arisen. https://youtu.be/qkN_nQPpeSU Mutualism: What Anarchy Needs By Andrewism

https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/comments/jp3q4p/comment/gbesw1p/

About preventing crime, the short version is that it starts in the home.

Much violent crime can be traced back to cultural factors. Violent crime, such as murder, would probably decrease dramatically in an anarchist society because most of its causes — poverty, televised glorification of violence, prisons and police, warfare, sexism, and the normalization of individualistic and anti-social behaviors — would disappear or decrease.

The differences between two Zapotec communities illustrates that peace is a choice. The Zapotec are a sedentary agrarian indigenous nation living on land that is now claimed by the state of Mexico. One Zapotec community, La Paz, has a yearly homicide rate of 3.4/100,000. A neighboring Zapotec community has the much higher homicide rate of 18.1/100,000. What social attributes go along with the more peaceful way of life? Unlike their more violent neighbors, the La Paz Zapotec do not beat children; accordingly, children see less violence and use less violence in their play. Similarly, wife-beating is rare and not considered acceptable; women are considered equal to men, and enjoy an autonomous economic activity that is important to the life of the community so they are not dependent on men. Regarding child-rearing, the implications of this particular comparison are corroborated by at least one cross-cultural study on socialization, which found that warm, affectionate socialization techniques correlate with low levels of conflict in society.

As for the re-emergence of hierarchies, I think that the notion of anarchism is essentially ‘checks and balances’ turned up to 11. You get to a society that’s an ecosystem of fluid social relationships, and an anti-authoritarian culture which makes it impossible in a million ways for anyone to accumulate power. If we could get there, I think it would be more robust than current liberal democracy, where the branches of government can cooperate and you need buy-in from less people to enable power to be accumulated.

IMO, good anarchist praxis is to 1) encourage and popularize anti-authoritarian parenting methods and 2) build strong community groups and mutual aid networks.

I sounded like you until I went offline and learned about Anarchism, anarcha-communism, intersectionality, Mutualism and Solidarity Economies. You might get your feelings hurt by online ML’s, but that’s not the real world. I dont agree much or even at all with some ML’s, and others I date. And I give less than zero fucks about what any .world neolib has to say about anything, given how much their system more than anything else has colonized and raped the planet and her peoples.

Fwiw (I sure hope this is not an empty platitude), as a trans woman who’d love to be able to feel safe outside of cities in blue states, who very much knows and experienced that it’s not free:

You’re absolutely right.

I read this back early 2016, been reeling from it ever since: https://morecrows.wordpress.com/2016/05/10/unnecessariat/

We have been divided by the american mythos of “pinko city slicker vs rugged indvidualist rednecks” and the truth is it’s all so the boss can take the whole plate of cookies, while scapegoating your brown/queer/whatever co-worker “He’s gonna eat your cookie”

I refuse, at least for my inner child anyway, to surrender the love I have for my fellow common person, regardless of where you’re from. Sweeping generalization.

There’s lots of blame to go around. Big Pharma, Politicians, the way in which the midwest and south’s entire economies that were always built on the idea of very high capital using extractive methods to get resources out of the land either cotton or mining or oil or water or agri business, those economies always depend on a few people with a lot of money, and then a whole bunch of people who are poor.

I blame them, not you. I see you. We are not alone. There has got to be a better way.

You might find this helpful. There will likely be another this year (fyi Beau took a sabbatical for workaholism and his wife Belle and collaborators are doing an excellent job of carrying it forward)

Edit: was meant as a reply to someone who is getting ready to endure sitting at the table with red hats; and had accidentally instead replied to OP

Yes, which is where Gay Furry Hackers on Estradiol come in.

The person you’re replying to claiming that, for bigots to have won, the true litmus test is if society hates bigots. How entertaining.

My message to you is keep fighting. You can learn angrily, you can teach angrily, you can be braver.

There’s plenty to learn and teach about. Wherever you are there are surely folks in need and folks organizing, and the darker things get the brighter our resistance grows.

Take up with, and get involved with literally ANY human rights advocacy. No, you wont change the world all on your own – but hyperindividualism is something to unlearn (angrily) all on it’s own!

What you’re almost certain to do, supposing that you go in with the strength to admit when you’re wrong, will be to build connections with kindred spirits.

So here’s just a few inspiring causes, for which i both encourage online learning about, but topics for which you never have the true picture until youre involved locally with folks who are already saying, for their humanity “Nothing about us, without us”

Drug War Survivors: https://www.crackdownpod.com/

Landback: https://www.indigenousaction.org/

Marooncast: Black and Queer anarchism, ending police (and their) brutality and creating real autonomy for communities of color https://marooncast.buzzsprout.com/

Healthcare: https://www.beatriceadlerbolton.com/ (Has a link to the book and podcast. Other collaborators, and the greater community formed around these, deserve equal attention and credit)

These are a small fraction of what’s out there. If you’re able bodied and inclined to do so, go link arms in an eviction defense; Stonelink Realty is buying out folks apartments from under them everywhere, and there’s no justice, or even any sense, in police throwing someone working two jobs out on the street, just because sillicon valley types are moving into the area.

Be pissed. That is an appropriate emotional response. Know that for many of us, especially those whose intrinsic traits cannot br safely hidden (melanin, queerness, medical or economic condition, …) that retreat or surrender are not possible.

Since youre still reading: There exist so many anonymous, unofficial rescue workers, engaged offline providing the resources made scarce or forbidden to those forgotten or sacrificed by society. Knowing of them casts a bit of light. Getting closer to that light? Well maybe your experience of community begins to feel a bit less cold. ✨️

I’ll work for 40 years (at least)
40 hours a week
And if I am lucky retire by 60
I could sit at home with all of my things
Basking in the surplus
And the empty space

Fuck this whole empire and it’s class war, everything we “audaciously fight for” was only ever stolen from us in the first place.

Dear walking smallpox blanket

Get fukken ratio’d

Then get that horseshoe shaped indent in your forehead checked out. Concussions are no joke!

Im not gonna engage w the fashbot arguing with you, so ill instrad reply here to affirm that trumps use of “blood poisoning” is still justvas dehumanizing and fascist no matter what way they try to deny or obfuscate it.
