electoralists: "voting is harm reduction"
the politicians who won the election: actively removing harm reduction support for drug addicts, causing an enormous amount of public harm, not just to the addicts but to everyone else in the neighbourhood too.

the world could be just a little bit better if all of the people whining about Epstein files and infantalising adult fascists spent even half as much time writing and boosting funderaiser posts for starving Palestinians in Gaza.
you know, shit that matters directly.
if you feel offended by this post, you've got work to do. talk to a Palestinian, help them survive. if you care about soldarity, you will do it.

2026-04-01 07:38:36 UTC

the Zionist terror continues, as does the Palestinian struggle to survive a genocidal blockade and seige. people in Gaza are starving as the Rafah crossing remains closed and Israel continues to ruin Palestinian lives and homes. food prices are unreasonably high. please give anything you can to help one family survive. boost if you can do nothing else.

it seems like a no-brainer to me but maybe it isn't as much as i think it is. guage who you are speaking to and use appropriate language.

"strict linguistic terms" is not the problem, and sounds like a refusal to define words or an excuse to be sloppy with definition.
how do you say what you mean, if you don't know the definition of what you're saying and don't care either? i call that speaking in bad faith, which is what fascists love to do.
do you see "potential for solidarity" in using oppressive language? why not just say whatever racist shit you feel like and then excuse yourself by saying "oh that's not really what i meant, you see"? who are you building solidarity with when you do that?
"people will shut down if you tell then they're wrong" is defeatist nonsense, and also counter-revolutionary language. what is the point of education but to lead people toward changing their own mind?

there is nothing revolutionary about fascism. its role is to magnify and strengthen the status quo, to the point that nothing and no one else remains.
social democrats have often co-opted the language of socialism and revolution for the purpose of undermining it. that is literally what the Bolsheviks did to gain power. the Sozialistische-Demokratische Parties Deutschland (SPD) fought for nazis to march in Berlin with police support.

i don't need a lesson in what tankie means. i know what i've seen tankies do and say. tankie does mean pro-Putin, because tankies are pro-Putin. it does mean pro-Russian state, because they are pro-Russian state. tankies are pro-Assad, and so is this asshole. how much of a fool do you think i am?
fascists always use this same line of bullshit to disavow their own actions. "i am not baking a cake, i am simply heating the oven, oiling a cake pan, gathering ingredients, mixing them, pouring them into the pan, and putting the pan in the oven."
Ukraine is not Norway, and that is an extremely bad faith interpretation of what i said.
it's also extremely bad faith to only attribute the label specifically to its original meaning, as if Bolsheviks don't exist and have no history that has everything to do with that label. without Bolshevism, there are no tankies.

neither are tankies. i refuse to differentiate between big C, little C. if you are a communist, you follow communist principles, and that is not somethink tankies actually care about, while claiming to be something they are not. the NSDAP did the same thing, and i see little difference between a Bolshevik and a nazi, for this and many other reasons.

i don't really see power tools and construction equipment as automation. they are electrical, air- or fuel-powered versions of tools which already existed for centuries or millenia. these tools do not do the work without human being in direct control. the Jacquard loom is really the closest thing to a modern computer, and it's the very thing that caused the Luddites to form their movement, because it deskills workers and turns their labour into a commodity instead of the products of that labour.

i think the question then needs to be, what purpose would computers serve, and how would you build one without replicating the problems of industrial capitalism. there are unquestionably positive non-exploitive uses of computers, but they still have to come from somewhere, and something must be done with them when they no longer work and are irrepairable.

automation has never been liberatory. the Luddites existed because they saw that it would lead to the destruction of cottage craft industry and send workers into waged factory labour. automation and enclosure of the commons led to city populations swelling, emptying and deskilling rural labour, and increasing pollution and the diseases that come with it.
in USA, the cotton gin did not liberate enslaved Black workers. it dispossessed them and sent them north where factory bosses then wouldn't hire them and the mine bosses would only hire them to use them as scabs to increase racism between white and Black workers. that's why ghettos exist.

it's a bizarre way to think about relations, but where it comes from is not very mysterious. eugenicists invented "blood quantum" to confound Indigenous ancestry. it's why there are so many white people claiming they are "6/32nds Cherokee" or some nonsense like that. in Canada, this allows some white people to claim an Indian Status card, be enrolled in Indigenous bands, and hold positions on band councils. in the past, they've been called "oil chiefs", and are now are often called out as "pretendians".

i think no one is wrong to distrust psychology and psychiatry. read about their history, especially their role in colonialism, slavery, and eugenics. these people might have different reasons for their distrust, but it is by no means wrong to distrust either. i can't say a lot about psychology, but psychiatry is absolutely an ableist pseudo-science made for murdering people who can't pass an IQ test, tries to escape enslavement, or has the wrong shape of skull. an IQ test is a white person test.
it is really harmful to diagnose anyone with a psychiatric condition if you are not a licensed psychiatrist. i often say it's no different from diagnosing cancer without being an oncologist, or doing dental work without being a dentist.
that's why i say "choose different words".
there is also a whole online culture of making memes about "narcissists" which often identify autistic traits, so it's extremely stagmatising not just for people with an actual Narcissist Personality Disorder (NPD) diagnosis, but also harmful to autistic people.
the thing i know people are trying to indentify with these harmful memes is abuse, so "abuse" or "manipulative" are words i use to describe people who are manipulative and abusive.

you'll also get people fired for taking the day off to protest without organising anything. the fact that many bosses supported this one-day strike is far from the norm. if it had been about wages, hours, and working conditions, you can bet they would have fired people or locked them out. calling in sick on your own is not a strike. if you want to call in sick, organise a sick-in, which is another kind of organised direct action where many workers co-ordinate calling in sick on the same day or days.

i've only been in one situation where mass arrest could have happened, but luckily didn't. it was public enough that the cops weren't about to risk whatever social capital they think they have. but i was not going to leave that circle. i came to protect Indigenous land defenders and their sacred fire, so i did not leave just because the police threatened us.
i've been to many protests, strikes, acts of resistance, whatever you want to call them, and that was the first time i ever felt like i could be in danger, but i was there for a purpose and was not going to back down.

read what many people who were swept up in the Palmer raids had to say about what they found when they were exiled to Lenin's Russia. Emma Goldman is a good source for that. Alexander Berkman was there too, and also had similar things to say.
George Orwell's book Homage To Catalonia is a good account of who was doing what during the Spanish civil war. if Stalin was a communist, then why did he and his followers help fascists win at every turn? if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then we don't say it's an elephant.
pay attention to the actions of the Bolsheviks from the beginning of the Social Democratic Party of Russia, to what Russia looks like today, and ask "is this what a stateless, moneyless society built on mutual aid and solidarity looks like?"
find out why Hitler's party was named "national socialist", and ask "how can a stateless, moneyless society built on mutual aid and solidarity somehow involve nation states anyway, and what did nazis ever do which amounts to liberation via mutual aid and solidarity?" and you'll find an enormous contradiction which tells you the term is used in bad faith.

language may not be static, but we're not talking about words which can be frivolously used in different ways. it's important to not use these kinds of words carelessly.
words with baggage are why i used the example of "don't say the U-word" when organising a union, if you have a bunch of fellow workers who might bristle when they hear that. in that situation, it's necessary to show people what the word means, instead of saying it out loud and then having to explain yourself, so that they will come to their own conclusion that they were wrong and can change their own mind.

that's how reactionaries define socialism. they also include liberals as "leftists", and liberals have no principles.
socialism is a moneyless, stateless society built on mutual aid and solidarity. it's important that people be educated about this instead of recycling reactionary nonsense, including the idea that leaving capitalism and the state in place is in any way socialist.
let's stop allowing ourselves to be defined by reactionary ambiguity and nazi conspiracy theories.

it seems to me like a term reactionaries use to lump any and all opposition, genuine and perceived, into one label. it includes liberals, social democrats, and anarchists, none of whom want anything to do with each other.

it's a desktop environment (DE). it's the K DE. nearly every program made with its development kit has a name that starts with k. why? idk.
you can't change it in Windows, so it might be a very unfamiliar idea. it's what sets up your desktop with a task bar, window decorations, system tray, etc that you expect to see, but you can change it in any way you like, and even change DE to a different program if you like. KDE is "recommended for beginners" but it's really memory-heavy for no good reason, and other DEs exist which do the same things just as well in far less resources. Gnome is the other most popular DE for linux. i prefer Cinnamon, or MATE, both of which are forks of Gnome 2, which preserves that Win95 feel instead of the modern "locked down af, rounded corners on everything" feel of Gnome 3.

i can't help but to draw very clear parallels between what is happening to Palestinians and what was done to Indigenous children in Canada. it's not even entirely correct to say "was" because family separation looks different now. instead of being threatened with death by starvation, now the state separates Indigenous families by accusing them of abuse which is a direct result of generational trauma caused in part by the original policy of family separation.

i prefer to put the "intention" thing in a positively contrarian context, ie yes, i do need attention, and fuck everyone who says i'm acting in bad faith because i need attention. i am literally fucking crying for help, and being belittled for it.

Assata Shakur dies, people quote her for a week, and somehow we're still on "tax the rich", and not moving to "abolish the wage system".
what the fuck are we doing? what is this bullshit fuckery? i'm so tired of listening to liberal single-issue campaign slogans. and it's *always* white people!!
liberals, just try learning something for once. please. we don't have time for this. people are going to die because you refuse to listen or be educated. people are already being killed because you wouldn't listen or be educated. a whole genocide happened because you wouldn't fucking listen.
this is why i'm done with liberal apologies. you were given so many chances, and you chose helping fascists waste our time. it's unforgiveable. it's a pattern. wake the fuck up.

white supremacy includes the belief that white supremacist violence will never and cannot happen to white people, despite any and all evidence that it does and will happen.

liberals and fascists alike would have us believe that the world blinked into existence yesterday and nothing ever happened before then. they're kind of worse than Bible literalists, in that respect.

finding those bits of literature which break the false narratives is very liberating. those things you might have noticed people repeating without verifying, which you maybe had a feeling were somehow massively untrue, are suddenly cast in the proper light, instead of through a "beautifying" filter for something extremely ugly.

giving a fuck about genocide "moralistic" now, is it?
bye liberal asshole, take your murderous cynicism and shove it so far up your ass that you can shove it up your nose too.

it's not about perfect options. who was shipping bombs to drop on Palestinian children? did those bombs mutilate and disfigure more nicely?
talking about "perfect options", when your options are fascism or fascism, is the height of liberal cynicism.
it's not a fucking chess game.

idk sounds like "if you didn't vote for the fascists i'm comfortable with, you're the reason we got the fascists i'm uncomfortable with".

times like this are why Oi Polloi have a special place in my heart and mind. there are many punk bands who are direct an honest with their feelings about fascism but Oi Polloi tell you exactly why it's important to fight, and to live to fight another day. they're not afraid to come out and say "don't fuck around, always bash back".

if you would have been alone, as in didn't know anyone there, you may be best off staying at home.
i often miss marches and protests, but i tell myself "the whole thing does not and will not hinge on my individual presence, and if it ever does, i'm in the wrong movement."
it's really not a good idea to fight fascists alone, if you can avoid it. when the whole thing is over, one of the most dangerous times is when everyone is going home. always make sure to have friends or some kind of safety escort, to go home with you. they will attack you when you are alone, and it did happen to people i knew in 2017, in Ottawa.
thank those who could and did show up.

is there another book like The Handmaid's Tale which is not written by someone on JK Rowling's side, not a transphobic piece of shit?
let's stop ignoring that ugly detail about Margaret Atwood. don't let her have a "legacy" when she has, afaik, never apologised or made any reparation for her "can't say woman anymore" remark.

his parting remark was to say the Liberal Party is a party of Zionists, he is a Zionist, and "no one should be afraid to say that".
what does "left wing" mean?
