i really hate that 'firebomb a walmart' tweet. not only does nobody think that firebombing a walmart is the solution to literally any systemic problem - even if they did, who is going around promoting their own crimes?

i also really hate how it positions lefty/libs when they are confronted with real struggles being fought on the ground that have no "representation" in party politics, real struggles which require illicit acts to resist, regardless of any question of "changing the system"

it's not about revolutions. it's not about waiting for the socialist/communist revolution to show up at your door. it's about building the knowledges and the coordinations which allow for free people, in collective coordination, to organize and actualize their own autonomy!

people will really be like "you believe in the power of self-organized, coordinated social living? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, building working class power in the democratic party" and then not build any working class power in the democratic party

@ZiaNitori i'm going to be trying to make this masto instance my new little home, but until other people move off of twitter i'll unfortunately keep checking it occasionally (and hopefully i can drive that "occasionally" down to smaller and smaller fractions)

here's the full quote for anyone curious.
its from The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State

what was Engels on when he said "Before incest was invented (and it is an invention, a really valuable one indeed)..."

stealing this from my buddies over at Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour

i'm planning on publishing something on Autonomy (as a principle of self-organization) and i'm pulling a lot from the italian-variant of Autonomists. in particular i'm pulling from the book Autonomia: Post-Political Politics and there's this one section, which is kind of unnerving, that i just still don't quite get

(no alt-text, too much text)

i think its time i lock down my twitter, stop tweeting entirely, and try to build my projects elsewhere.

"We fall into a false alternative if we say that you either imitate or you are. What is real is the becoming itself, the block of becoming, not the supposedly fixed terms through which that which becomes passes... becoming lacks a subject distinct from itself."

i recently got a physical copy of this "Bestiary of the Anthropocene" and its really fun

@shadingwiththegrey HOLY SHIT JUMPSCARE

one landed on my roof while i was sitting outside and cawed at me a few times, and then it and two others flew into the yard and one of them mounted the other and they made a very unique noise while fluttering tails a lot

my crows had sex in front of me today
