 the longer we wait, the more their hypocrisy becomes apparent, and the more
 "the people" get it
 
 but, uh... I think enough people get it. They at least know something is going
 on, whatever it may be.
 
 they will tell their base whatever they want to hear and their base will have
 hate. they're itching for it.
 
 volunteer for things if you want a say in how they turn out. risk your life to
 live longer. there is no way to know when the time is right because nobody
 knows the truth of our times. Even the president is misled.
 
 gee I sure wish there was like, some form of centralizing intelliagentic
 knowledge that pulled the strings and led us puppets toward liberty, justice,
 and freedom for all (as a baseline) surely they'd be able to see the
 corruption and rot that imperils us all, might they have a better design? who
 can say, they are quiet as the grave, here's hoping they stay that way.

 capitalism wants to drown your voice
 
 do not let it
 
 speak until you cannot speak
 
 then go do some pushups
 
 then find some friends
 
 then pitch a tent in the park
 
 then explain to the cops that you're not actually homeless and living there
 you're just trying to do this as a social statement because someone on the
 internet told you to
 
 then use your phone call to call your representative and complain about how
 much funding the police get
 
 then study law for 30 years because that's how long the government decided
 your life was worth
 
 by then you'll probably have figured out a better plan moving forward, so, use
 that one instead

 They may return to us if they choose, when they realize that we were right all
 along.
 
 Otherwise, they might feel disenfranchised and choose to disengage. That is
 expected and allowed.
 
 Others amongst them might go right. Fuck 'em, they always cared for gold over
 lives.
 
 You are right, their methods have not worked. They have sustained our society
 up to this point and for that I thank them - but we are entering a new age for
 our country, and we shall build it as a federation.
 
 They are more than welcome to observe and offer insight from their years spent
 observing and wrestling with Republicans, but understand that much of their
 insight is dealing with their elite class of politicians and not with who you
 and I might come across on the street.
 
 They are encouraged to learn from us. To do otherwise is at best to neglect
 our only route to a bright future - at worst it is to obstruct us, to delay
 us, to keep us running in circles.
 
 Find the people who are sabotaging our efforts and move on

 they are not MAGA anymore. Don't call them Trumpers. He won't last long.
 
 Call them what they are. They are part of a newly born Confederacy, and we
 must call them by their name. That name demands respect, and we must respect
 their power.
 
 Then, when you're sufficiently cautious, begin conjuring visions of their
 downfall. Ideally accompanied by carefully laid plans intended to accomplish
 specific strategic goals.
 
 They are top-heavy. Once their bravest and thickest perish they will have
 nothing left but their weak fools. They are scared, nothing unites them more
 than fear, and for that they are weakened.
 
 Our bonds are those of love. I would die for my neighbor. I would die for our
 world. They have no passion, no rigor, all they have is hate and vigor.
 
 Martial skills we can learn. We will have to, sooner rather than later. Be
 prepared, work hard, and do what you're good at, ideally what you'd like to do.

 @user-367 
 
 when we, societally, are forced to discuss fascists and such, they're getting
 what they want.
 
 We cannot ignore them. We cannot hide them. They are true, they exist, and we
 need to deal with them.
 
 I can say this because nazis are evil. Trans people are not evil, which is why
 their attempt to use the same logic falls so flat. Seriously, have you ever
 met a GOOD nazi? I highly doubt it, though their most "respectable" amongst
 them certainly try to make it so.
 
 But good trans people are everywhere. Hell the old boogey-man, old-school
 communists, they're GOOD people too. They feed the homeless!
 
 If we're bogged down in talking about their distraction / propaganda campaign,
 then we have no time or attention to devote to our own. And our stories are
 better for the soul.
 
 The people who follow Trump are yearning for something they cannot describe.
 But I can, 9/10 times it's just community.
 
 Literally, the first thing we evolved.

 I saw someone on Reddit complaining about "the libs" and how "they want to
 destroy all conservatives everywhere!!" and they ended by saying "just look at
 the WEF agenda 2030 plan it's ALL THERE." like they were "countering" our
 concerns about Project 2025 or whatever - lmao.
 
 I went and googled it and goddamn does it slap. Like, hell yeah I want all
 those things.

  It turns out a lot of Democratic voters kinda hate George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Liz Cheney, actually? They're leery of cops. There was that whole BLM thing? They're alarmed by the idea of having the most deadly military on Earth. What is it for? Oh, and Israel? We're going to back Israel to the hilt even as it exterminates children.

 I want modern society without capitalism. Most people do, which is why no
 matter how awesome our proto-post-capitalistic anarchic socialist paradise is,
 there's always going to be people who want to go to work and watch TV.
 
 call me fucking crazy but they should be allowed to live as they please? So
 what if they're beguiled, so what if they are deceived? We can take our time
 to show them how much better things can be, but also... they like modern
 society as it is, and so I reckon someone should fight for them to be able to
 live as they please. Just... without billionaires and endless layers of
 bullshit micro-managerial jobs and paperwork pushing bureaucratic whatever
 time wasting jobs.
 
 modern society without capitalism can look like plain old capitalism, just
 without the oppression. Without the coercion.
 
 all I'm saying is that nobody's gonna fight for a healthcare CEO because
 they're scum. They're scum because they oppress. oops politics-mentioned brb

 Honestly I think the reason there's two political parties is because then our
 fears align against one another, and we can push against something solid.
 
 If we go back to bearing afraid of the dark, then who knows what might crawl
 out of it's dark recesses.
 
 When Order 66 went into effect, suddenly the CIS became the galactic good guys
 - who would you rather win the clone wars, some bastard capitalists or a
 literal sith lord? At least capitalists can be overthrown, sith lords are
 basically vampire wizards with laser swords and trust me that's NOT a good
 combination.

 I personally think that it's better to act before the liberals have a chance
 to hand power over to the fascists.
 
 when? well, that depends. Are you part of a large and massive organization
 that accomplishes great and beautiful things with incredible efficiency... but
 rather slowly? Then yeah get working. I'm sure you already are.
 
 Are you just a person, like me? Then go do things that don't raise the
 temperature too much, but make you feel more confident and inspire those
 around you.
 
 Like, bricks at cop cars is one way to go, but you're probably gonna get
 arrested. And then you're useless when we need you.
 
 BUT if you meet with your friends and make plans for where to go, what to
 bring, who to know, and what to sing (if you're the musical types) then great!
 Go do that.
 
 If you're reading this and thinking "I'm not gonna do that, I have a plan
 that's so much better" then yeah do that instead. I don't mind. Just... don't
 hurt innocent (ignorant) people, because if you do then you are my foe.

 @user-192 
 
 You've developed a crucial insight here. Fascists aren't the opposites of
 communists, they're not trying to make the world better by altering or
 updating their governance systems.
 
 They are trying to kill people. To gather power. The mislead and betray. They
 seek destruction and little else. They are evil.
 
 Not everyone who votes for Trump is evil... They might simply have been lied
 to, repeatedly, and never given a chance to think anything else. But their
 movement will bring us fascism, so, they are enemies to those who value a
 fair, just, kind, rational, and developing nation.
 
 They are few. We can win, I know it to be true.

 the trick is to wait until they congregate on their own, then surround them.
 They're outnumbered right now, and that's great for us. But it means they stay
 home, in the shadows, for now.
 
 It kinda feels bad to win so handily. Like, damn, their "bark really was
 louder than their bite", wasn't it?

 I usually just repost it and say something like: [stolen from reddit] or
 [stolen from one of my followers who didn't write any alt text]
 
 that way if they ever come across your post they'll know what it feels like to
 have a post stolen from them. Like how a blind person, happy to hear-read what
 they originally posted, but aggrieved from the conversation by their lack of
 alt-textual information, might feel stolen from if they happened across that
 originally posted alt-textless post.
 
 there are more blind people that use mastodon than queer people. At least,
 that's what I once heard. Dunno if it's true.

 imagine yourself slaying it

 and vengeance and pay special attention to the way that you cauterize each
 tentacle as you slice them one by one at first, and then in a massive flurry
 at best, ultimately leading to the incomparable brightness that radiates out
 from your shining blade of the sky, which blinds the poor beast who can't see
 you as you approach, piercing the skull and then going home for some toast

 Fuck, I hate being incontinent. I especially hate being incontinent in an
 apartment building where people might hear you changing through the walls - is
 it too much to ask for diapers to be built discrete? Alas, they are fucking
 loud, and my neighbors will perpetually hear me tearing loud-ass tapes from
 plastic every night at 2am -.-
 
 Oh, I guess I could buy the ones that have velcro attachment points. BUT for
 some reason those are always built kinda... shitty? Like, sure yeah we live in
 a material world that has material conditions that make things more or less
 amenable to perfection - but WHY do they have to be so LOUD fuck me amiright

 trying my best not to think about communism too much right now. Mostly because
 I'm waiting for everyone to catch up... when the day comes when people stop
 saying "based" and leaving it at that, then I'll make more theory. But as a
 consequence of my queer nature I shall deliver such things in the form of an
 insane twitter post on the fetlifeverse.
 
 the world waits with bated breath in the eye of the storm. Nobody knows whats
 coming, and everyone prays that it's nothing [short of revolution]

  Sorry if this makes me a lazy leech on society or whatever but I think we should chuck the Puritan work ethic, hustle culture, grindset mindset, all of that crap. I think people should have time for rest, leisure, self care, family, friends, and civic engagement. We should be letting people enjoy life, not expect them to spend every waking hour working for the sake of work because idle hands do the devil's work or whatever modern paint job you want to put on that 400 year old bullshit.

 Conservatives don't have to be pro communism to be good people. They just have
 to be anti fascist.
 
 And unfortunately, capitalism has produced fascism. It will continue to do so
 if left unabated.
 
 Capitalism is not the middle ground between administrative authority and
 anarchic despotism as they claim to see it, but rather a whirlpool that drains
 through our adversity. A sinking tide strands all ships, as it were, and
 together we will begin to falter.
 
 Fascists are quite good at bending the will of whatever system they inhabit to
 suit their needs. In fact it is almost a certainty that any sufficiently
 organized institution shall fall prey to it, as if it were part of our nature.
 
 Hence, my desire to abstract it out of our hands, and into the care of the
 future. We can build a better world for you and for me and all of our
 posterity, it's just a matter of interdependent communication protocols.
 
 Nobody has to do what I say, nobody should be forced to be a certain way, and
 just as your rights end where another's begin so too is our world in danger.
 
 For you see, we have a right to litter. To despoil. To leave the earth in
 turmoil. And though I am a bit bitter, it's slowly getting better, so through
 our efforts we are investitured.

 Capitalism isn't perfect but if it's capitalism or cyberpunk North Korean

 aren't safe financially though? Like, if you own a billion dollars it should
 be because you make a billion dollars per year. Anything you don't spend
 should be taxed away, to be used for public services and the defence of our
 nation.

 violence is legal in self-defence.
 
 nazis want to kill me and my community.
 
 punching nazis is self defence?
 
 it's communal defence, for they present a clear and present danger to the
 community.
 
 You know the guy in the vietnam movies who shows up and fires over the enemy's
 head because he doesn't want to kill anyone? That's justified, though it might
 mean he'd die.
 
 He isn't fighting in communal defence. His community was safe from the
 vietnamese farmers and countryfolk who wanted nothing to do with imperialism,
 only to govern themselves their way. Too bad that sounds like communism, and
 the USSR was keen on funding the most violent amongst them if it meant another
 state for capitalism to contest.
 
 Nazis are not farmers. They are not countryfolk. They wear suits and they
 deceive these people into fighting for them. They are liars and they enslave
 the minds of those they can catch in their web of despair.
 
 they want to hurt you is surprisingly motivating.
 
 nazis want to hurt you

  A friend who's a fed employee sent me a msg about what's happening in their agency and it is so much worse than I thought.  
                                                                              
  It's not just that the Trump administration is breaking shit.               
                                                                              
  They're literally building their own dark infrastructure inside the one that exists. They brought their own personnel, yes -- personnel who aren't even being cleared. They just come straight from Heritage or Musk, and they're setting up shop. They're bringing their own servers - so there are no communications that can be traced through 'the system.' This goes against every rule. They're all going through their own offline channels.  
                                                                              
  That's what all that stuff about the meta data on those memos is about. No trace back to the WH.  
                                                                              
  The Heritagers + Muskovites have purged all the senior folks and sending memos in the name of powerless juniors who remain.   
                                                                              
  I don't want to sound alarmist but it's literally like those movies about evil fuckers taking over. It's another Jan 6 but with memos and communiques vs guns.

 In related news, dystopian authoritarian despotism (aka fascism's fruition)
 never lasts long. It's a snake eating its own tail, and its not getting any
 longer. One day the snake will choke on its own excrement and then that system
 will collapse, but until then there will be suffering.
 
 Kinda makes me think that those who would do us harm could accelerate our
 demise by filling our positions of power with evil people. Is that not an evil
 impulse, to force your neighbor to decay?
 
 Kinda makes me think about all the democratic regimes we've overthrown and
 replaced with authoritarian autocrats. People who keep the liquid gold
 flowing, perhaps with the hope that one day we'll choke on it.
 
 Well, that day is rapidly approaching because the air is getting thicker with
 carbon, and we're all struggling to breathe in this heat.

 hello everyone, I would like to take a moment to address a weapon used by the
 far right called "Agent Sabateurs" - or "provocateurs" or "civilian disruption
 forces" - however you want to call it.
 
 Basically, they hire a bunch of people to pretend to be us and then they make
 disruptions in public so that people start to hate us.
 
 I'll go into more detail in this thread.
 
 First, they identify a homeless person and eliminate them. Then, they put
 someone who looks pretty similar in the same spot and they start making noise,
 tearing up flowers, being really pushy about asking for money and shit, yell
 at passerby, that kind of thing.
 
 They do this for homeless people, trans people, black people, anarchists,
 punks, leftists, basically everyone they don't want.
 
 They do this to defame our champions. Our most vulnerable. Our strongest of
 heart and their greatest threats. They do this to turn the liberal majority
 against us.
 
 the conservative minority fell for it quite easily.

 those billionaires are using their money as a weapon to "vote" toward what
 companies they think capitalism would most grow from. Unfortunately for us,
 they often aren't very efficient because they're only looking at what sells.
 
 human interest is not the only factor to optimize for, and yet that's the only
 one they're incentivized to.
 
 kinda makes me think that the only reason to replace them would be to
 institute something that could not be incentivized because it was more
 objective or decentralized.
 
 (the only reason they'd accept)

 how would you even hear of suburban conflict? nobody knows their neighbors.
 All you need is sufficient insulation, and you can start small and work
 through an entire population.
 
 just wait until everyone in an area is cleared for "disconnected from the
 larger whole" ness by the agents who are pretending to be their friends and
 neighbors and BOOM you got an enslaved god. works best if your raise them from
 the childhood, or the past distant memory.

 among all the others, I want a wonderful and fulfilling life for the
 socialite. they deserve light just as you and I might.
 
 "eat the rich" bruh there's like, 100 people who are running the show.
 everyone else is basically just a syncophant who's trying to get ahead and
 stay working.
 
 then there's like their families and such and like... they didn't do anything
 wrong, they just eat cheese and wine and laugh at memes all day with their
 besties.
 
 they are basically pets
