Always remember, if any ML tries to give you shit about 4 “already existing communist states” (of which none of them have stayed true to communism), remind them that there are more than 8 anarchist demonstrations happening across the world right now. https://redd.it/18uc5im @COMPLETE_ANARCHY

"Lenin is not comparable to any revolutionary figure in history. Revolutionaries have had ideals. Lenin has none." — Peter Kropotkin

The Scriptures tell us that God created Man in His own image, which has by no means proven a success. Parents follow the bad example of their heavenly master; they use every effort to shape and mould the child according to their image. They tenaciously cling to the idea that the child is merely part of themselves — an idea as false as it is injurious, and which only increases the misunderstanding of the soul of the child, of the necessary consequences of enslavement and subordination thereof. As soon as the first rays of consciousness illuminate the mind and heart of the child, it instinctively begins to compare its own personality with the personality of those about it. How many hard and cold stone cliffs meet its large wondering gaze? Soon enough it is confronted with the painful reality that it is here only to serve as inanimate matter for parents and guardians, whose authority alone gives it shape and form. The terrible struggle of the thinking man and woman against political, social and moral conventions owes its origin to the family, where the child is ever compelled to battle against the internal and external use of force. The categorical imperatives: You shall! you must! this is right! that is wrong! this is true! that is false! shower like a violent rain upon the unsophisticated head of the young being and impress upon its sensibilities that it has to bow before the long established and hard notions of thoughts and emotions. Yet the latent qualities and instincts seek to assert their own peculiar methods of seeking the foundation of things, of distinguishing between what is commonly called wrong, true or false. It is bent upon going its own way, since it is composed of the same nerves, muscles and blood, even as those who assume to direct its destiny. I fail to understand how parents hope that their children will ever grow up into independent, self-reliant spirits, when they strain every effort to abridge and curtail the various activities of their children, the plus in quality and character, which differentiates their offspring from themselves, and by the virtue of which they are eminently equipped carriers of new, invigorating ideas. A young delicate tree, that is being clipped and cut by the gardener in order to give it an artificial form, will never reach the majestic height and the beauty as when allowed to grow in nature and freedom. When the child reaches adolescence, it meets, added to the home and school restrictions, with a vast amount of hard traditions of social morality. The cravings of love and sex are met with absolute ignorance by the majority of parents, who consider it as something indecent and improper, something disgraceful, almost criminal, to be suppressed and fought like some terrible disease. The love and tender feelings in the young plant are turned into vulgarity and coarseness through the stupidity of those surrounding it, so that everything fine and beautiful is either crushed altogether or hidden in the innermost depths, as a great sin, that dares not face the light.

'It’s pretty obvious that the Library made this a Pride Month thread to celebrate the fact that “biological sex” is a beautifully varied thing across species, and that a static dimorphic sex binary is not actually a default or natural state — in fact, that’s not even true for humans. But the Library got totally ratioed by transphobes.' https://www.them.us/story/british-library-fish-sex-pride-tweet

"The ethical quagmires surrounding this form of reproduction are not novel, but in Israel, this phenomenon assumes a unique and deeply securitized dimension. It transcends domestic boundaries, reflecting the deep securitization and militarization of the nation. Servicemen are revered as the embodiment of national masculinity, and the act of posthumous fatherhood is perceived as a homage to these fallen soldiers — a means to ensure their legacy endures. A striking manifestation of this transformation from the intimate to the national is exemplified in cases where soldiers had no partners. In such cases, families often seek female volunteers, many of whom have never crossed paths with the deceased, to potentially carry their children. Shockingly, recruiting these volunteers has proven to be less challenging than expected. In fact, when families sought volunteers or advertised their quest through media and social platforms, they were met with overwhelming responses." https://mondoweiss.net/2023/12/the-rush-to-preserve-the-sperm-of-slain-soldiers-exposes-the-deep-militarism-of-israeli-society/

🇵🇸 #Palestine - 🇮🇱 #Israel: The #UnitedStates has vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution was backed by almost all other members of the council, but was struck down by US Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood, who called the idea of a ceasefire “divorced from reality”. 📸: AFP

🇬🇧 #UK: A ULEZ camera was destroyed with an improvised explosive device this week in Sidcup, southeast London. An investigation by counter-terrorism police was launched. The blast took place roughly 90 minutes after another ULEZ camera was cut down nearby. A ULEZ camera is a surveillance device used to enforce Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) regulations in urban areas. It captures and identifies vehicles entering the zone, allowing the government to monitor and penalise anyone that doesn’t meet the required emission standards. A campaign of sabotage against the ULEZ cameras has been ongoing across the UK for more than a year now. ULEZ raises privacy concerns and is a financial burden for vehicle owners who can’t afford to buy new low-emission cars.

So apparently the Elm Fork JBGC channel was run by just one person and the whole org hates them https://efjbgc.noblogs.org/post/2023/12/11/126/

damn bro really owned those anarkkkiddies with this one

and THEN they went all "anarchism bad, also we're a left-unity space"

Don't get me wrong, that is BASICALLY what they said, but in a much more polite manner, if that makes sense

They took the bait but they didn't have the expected initial reaction of "stupid *string of political buzzwords and pejoratives* read theory and you will understand that the literal right-wing solution is the only valid solution"
