  i had someone tell me as an Appalachian, i didn’t understand the power of a union the way she did as a Michigander and i just stared at her, dumbfounded. America’s first unions were in the south. the most powerful union America ever had was based in West Virginia. we absolutely know the power of a union, and wrote many of the tunes that have been solidified as Union Songs. the reason our unions don’t have the power they once did is largely that we couldn’t get solidarity from the Industrial unions for our Primary Unions. our collective direct action was thwarted by class traitors claiming to act on class solidarity.

  but the thing is, the southern libertarian trope? that’s not a fuckin’ act. southerners legit hate authoritarians. we hate them because we’ve suffered under them. we don’t need city folk telling us to hate authority. we need help educating our neighbors that a libertarian capitalist is just a fascist faking.

  and i’m seeing something i’ve never seen before right now. there were zero pro-trump counter protestors at No Kings. zero nazis. people are unified in their understanding of who the problem is right now that i’ve never seen before. and i live in a right to work state. but still the union is gaining power. people would rather potentially get fired than have their boss be a local microgod.

  the biggest core thing it requires is class solidarity. you have to understand that you, as a human, are ultimately no different from any other human, and so when you see someone in need of help, if you don’t help them, that means other people will make the same decision you did. so you have to help.

  once you have that, you have to start organizing the people who help in some way. this is the root of mutual aid. the idea in a mutual aid society is that no one deserves to be poor and that anyone who asks for help is welcome to the help that is provided. when you have this people will naturally contribute in what they can and take from it what they need.

  the next thing to understand, coming from a position of class solidarity, is that poverty is enforced. when you start organizing a mutual aid society, society’s enforcers of poverty, the military and the police, will come crashing down on you. so at least some people in your community will need to practice, plan, and organize community self defense

  if david bowie or juggalo paint lets me walk with my head held high instead of hiding my face in public, then it is the dignified option. dignity is choosing to live your life free. if other people think it looks ridiculous, so be it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  hey just so you know “white trash” reinforces a racial hierarchy, and is thereby a racist term. as a term, it is built on the presumption that white people are supposed to be higher than the lowest rung of society.

  whatever you may think of ICP’s fans, this critique of them is classist and unhelpful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human experimentation, one way or the other.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Vaccination is a major component of community health measures. If someone doesn’t want to participate in community health measures, they are a risk to communities. Without vaccination, the only way an unvaccinated person can keep from putting the community at risk is to increase social distancing to a degree that would disallow them to spread diseases to immunocompromised people within the community. During an epidemic or pandemic, with no vaccine, and with other measures in place like masking, testing, and contact tracing, a social distancing policy of 6 ft can keep a disease from spreading rampantly. However, we are not currently mass masking, testing, or contact tracing mostly trusting people to be and act safe.

  But you’ve decided to opt out of community health measures. You’ve decided to lone wolf it because it’s, as you put it, a strictly personal choice. This means that you don’t have to participate in community health measures, but it also means that if you come closer than 15 feet to people who are engaged in community health measures, you are raising their risk of unknowingly spreading something to someone immunocompromised. If we were to not engage in community health measures, we would need to increase the spacing from 6 ft to 15 ft to prevent devestating health risks.

  So since you’ve chosen this for yourself, I assume you’re taking these measures? Or are you being a typical selfish antivaxxer who wants to receive the benefits of community health measures without doing anything to participate in making them work?

  there’s more than one epstein and more than one blackmail book. weird rich guy sex stuff is about power and control more than it is anything else. the centers of these rings just also enjoy power and control over victim and direct perpetrator in a form of violent sexual hierarchy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human experimentation, one way or the other.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, so I assume you’ve self isolated yourself entirely and aren’t going within 15 feet of anyone else or letting anyone else come within 15 feet of you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  reasons to resist fascism:

  1. basic fucking empathy, you shouldn’t need more you jackass
  2. oh? you need more you fucking sicko? fine. how about this. if the state is indescriminantly killing, it will only be a matter of time until it thoughtlessly kills you by "mistake"
  3. jesus christ, you still need convincing? my god. okay. here you go. you reap what you sow. in 20 years the children who see what you’re doing will be adults. there will be no forgiveness in their hearts for the parents, brothers, and sisters you killed. so maybe don’t give them a reason to hate you

  but fascist apologists lack empathy and they lack the critical thinking skills to be moved by the other two

  in the grand scale absolutely. nothing ever good comes from foreign interventions. a people must be given the tools to liberate themselves rather than have it decided for them what is best

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i will not tell them how to think or feel. the old regime killed their families. the new regime will likely finish the job. iran, israel, the united states. none are working or fighting on behalf of the Iranian people. i will help them as they work to survive, but i will not moralize to them that they’re wrong to feel how they feel about things that impact them directly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the way my Iranian friends have put it as they celebrate the death of the head of the regime and brace themselves for the impact of the new regime is that when you live under opression all your live, you learn to celebrate the small stuff, even as you know what’s coming will also be bad

  he’s also extremely dedicated to maintaining his brand. turning down Django Unchained does feel like a HUGE wiff to me though. Django is basically Deadshot if Deadshot lived in the Antebellum South (presumably after the California gold rush since he spends some time in Colorado). maybe Tarantino films can’t ever fit the Will Smith toxic positivity brand?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good point⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  what i love about The Big Unit is that that, his most iconic moment, is something he uses to promote his brand as a wildlife photographer because he feels so wracked with guilt that a bird died because of him. it’s not anything he had any control over. but he refuses to let that bird have died in vain. so now he’s the wildlife photographer who accidentally exploded a bird once.

  the world needs more men like Randy Johnson. skilled enough to be absolutely terrifying but humble enough to be heartbroken to have killed a bird

  having known a lot of sex workers and lesbians we need, societally, to engage with that some people enjoy giving blowjobs and that this doesn’t invalidate their sexual preference to be with women
