It’s like not knowing what pain is until you get relief for the first time because it’s so constant that it’s all you know
I’ll write something here later probably. In the meantime, hi to whoever’s reading this I hope you get a chance to enjoy something kind today :)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you build and cultivate revolutionary optimism, given what's happening in the US?English
13·1 day agoAnarchist praxis and using the levers in the current system to better ends are not mutually exclusive. The line is understanding that the state itself is largely not built or operated in the interest of the common people.
We can hold our noses and vote, and show up to local councils, and not put all our eggs in one government/corporate-appointed basket by building mutual aid and having each other’s backs.
If politicians are actually throwing some action behind slowing down the mess they’re complicit in, that’s great! In the meantime, there’s a video on here showing the BPP protecting people in Philadelphia as a solid example of good anarchist(adjacent) organization and action.
One-or-the-otherism leads to nothing getting done. And hope is definitely an important part of resistance. We’re all in this together, for better or worse so we should fight side by side.
TL;DR: anarchists are on your side, no need to frame us otherwise. /gen

I had family who lived through WWII and warned us the Nazis would come back. They never went extinct, just into hiding.
Teach them to double check against the man page before pasting, would be my guess.
The worst three things that can happen to a company are an MBA, going public and private equity. (And to any trolls, no, co-ops are not “going public.”)
Capitalists actively weaken strong, healthy commerce.
Annoying cousin, probably.

Worm-brain here is plague, and Kegsbreath is war (or at least trying to be).

^Or at least overrides the desire to grab a sledgehammer when troubleshooting^
It’s a decent umbrella term since there’s so much variation in experience and expression. It’s not always “not gendered.”
Shades and tints of gray aren’t exclusively “not black,” so to speak. Even more so if you’re a shade of green instead of black or white, and some are black and white checkered, and so on.
I’m also okay with Mexico and Canada each annexing about half the US to stop this insanity.
~20 min. old account with a political essay in a shitpost community. That’s…something.
