@comebackkid44723 i don't think i agree. i'm interested on hearing an elaborated form of what you mean if you've got the time.
to say it in a way that shows whats at stake: how do we think praxis while our praxis is so often used to keep the gears of the enemy machines running?
someone like Emma Goldman would say that "direct action is the consistent method of anarchism"
but is putting every activity within only immediate means desirable? is it even possible? what's the subjectivity that has "immediate" means? can groups have immediate means to goals or is it reserved only for individuals?
i'm also reminded of Schmitt's discourse on the Sovereign. The Sovereign as the Decider Of The State Of Exception thus needs a Normal Situation by which to judge something to be exceptional. The Sovereign Makes and Maintains the Normal Situation that it judges its subjects by.
What mediates the sovereign?
“Luana Ross's study of Native American women incarcerated in the Women's Correctional Center in Montana argues that "prisons, as employed by the Euro-American system, operate to keep Native Americans in a colonial situation/'87 She points out that Native people are vastly overrepresented in the country's federal and state prisons. In Montana, where she did her research, they constitute 6 percent of the general population, but 17.3 percent of the imprisoned population. Native women are even more disproportionately present in Montana's prison system. They constitute 25 percent of all women imprisoned by the state.”

@Fullnihilism@kolektiva.social okay ive only ever seen the one picture of you that you use as your profile pic, so i have no visual referent, but i wouldn't have guessed 46 just because i expect most people i interact with online to be within 5-10 years of my own age, which is a silly thing to assume
@ashenwan i'm usually a 4-5 hour sleeper. getting a full 8 hours is hard for me. so i think my body just has a "okay, its catchup time" mode
I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps.
EDIT: Replies tell me that this doesn't function in the UK without a VPN.
