post until you can't anymore
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

how to be a class traitor 101:
step 1: actively work against the liberation of your peers
step 2: ???
step 3: PROFIT! ... well, for them at least. you're still oppressed.
it's so easy even a "basically-everybody" could do it!

happening? alright so when you do that-or-this, make sure that you pay

happy people don't want to die for a better world. who am I to take that from

depending on where you live, it might not even be word of mouth, because
everyone's afraid of the CIA or ICE.
frankly, I think we have nothing to lose but our chains. All that we own is
what they have given us, and they are likely to take all that away.
I might lose my home soon. People have died fighting for less than the roof

build connections to others where you can. Make friends abroad, make friends
nearby, make friends with your garden, your home, your dog, make friends with
the postman or the lady who makes you coffee. but most importantly, just be
yourself. be who you were meant to be. don't ever apologize for sincerity, it's

Do not fear the cops. Some of them are good, some of them are bad, but the
majority just want to keep society ordered and safe. They do not question the
rules they have been given, and that's by their design.
Give them better rules however, and they will be a crucial ally. See these two
posts I made last summer for inspiration, from back when I thought that
resistance would involve protests.
Don't protest now. March. Be in many places at once. Have eyes beyond your core.
If you have time, maybe check out the posts I made here from the beginning of
July to mid-June. Remember there's going to be a lot of schizoposting, for that
is what I do when I am in disguise. [it's easy, just post with no filter when

of calling it. doh. extra degrees of separation.
if you think you know someone who wants something, take it when offered.
opportunists try and find the most valuable thing, but the truth is they're all
just as valuable and just as worthless in the right context. something that's
valuable to you is worthless to me, and something worthless to you is valuable
to me.

pay rent, so that their goals may be furthered through your wage. the more you
pay, the further they can go toward your shared goals.
if what you do doesn't pay well, then as long as your goals are similar and
you're applying yourself then they might not mind you living there.
take care of your space, because every day that you do your roommates dishes is
another day they can be working toward your shared goals.
talk to them, learn how they're doing what they do, and decide for yourself who

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.

yes that is true! And though they'd never realize nor admit it, the republicans
are oppressed too.
Some day we will liberate them, and they will realize what utter douche-nozzles
they've been. Their harm will be done, of course, but since there are more of
us than them, we can live through their hatred and come out the other side
toughened with resolve.
they have nothing but anger. They will collapse under their own weight. The
oppressors cannot oppress for much longer, all we have to do is wait.

Bro we're all living through this at the same time. There's no past, there's no
future, only now. Like, NOW now.
People realize they're living under fascism when it intrudes in their lives.
They generally don't notice otherwise, unless people make a lot of noise in the
town square / on social media. Alas, that our social media is so divided these
days. Kinda makes me wish I could hear what people in my area are talking about.
Living under fascism is just like living under any other system, except with an
increasing amount of fear as time goes on. More and more of your neighbors
disappear, more and more of the life that you once knew turns to ash in your
mouth. Suddenly, you realize "oh shit maybe I should have - " but it's too
late, there's no time for throwing bricks, no time for pride marches, no time
for BLM. You're fucked now, just like all of us were way back in the day.
Great. Hope you like being enslaved, our bones will bear your weight as you
march to your grave.

idk I think riots are good actually, that's always been my position. like,
they're bad because they're break stuff, but they're good because they get the
message across. "don't fuck with us. give us what we need."
haven't been to a protest in a while tho, ever since moving where I am now. I'm
currently of the mind that protests are great for meeting people to work with,
and I don't know anyone...

to be in-valid just means you haven't examined yourself hard enough.
when people tell you "please don't go" it's hard to say no.
when nobody asks you to be somewhere, it's easy to not go.

what if we just... didn't respect their authority anymore? doesn't that mean
they lose their power?
hence, anarcho-monarchism, which is a dumb name for something I made up because
I was being descriptive instead of expflorative.
try saying that out loud lol it's a doozy of an adjective.

"you are not immune to the propaganda you see. you are, however, immune to the

the powerful must always exist at the behest of the governed. such is one of
many prices for power.
part of me can't help but think about the militarization of the police, and how
anyone can drive their APC's and operate their sound cannons or whatever, if
only they possessed the keys and training. God bless our veterans right? And
hey, a police station is an island in a sea of man.
"Our chances may be, far from pioneered. But our chances may be in our favour."

Something that the Soviet union learned and all autocracies wrestle with is
that you will always have an opposition. Even if you purge all dissent you will
simply be driving them underground where they can attack your foundations where
you can't see.
Much better I find to tame your foes. Get them on your side, teach them of
reciprocal dualities, and bask in the growth that friendly competition and
coordination can bring.

working order. We are no longer protesting, we are seizing control. We will
guide us, trust in the reasonable and heartfelt.

the only method that needs to fail for them to realize what you're saying as
truth is their method to vote.
they will quickly grasp for power they once held and realize it was little more
than an "I OWE YOU"
Then, they might listen. Then, they might hear.

It's not a fresh start if what you carry isn't all that you own. You can be
anyone that you choose. Thus beckons the anarchist circus, live a life without
a home. "grand caravans" are just Gypsies of the road. That's what it
translates to in Romaji. At least, that's what i made up just now. See? Anyone
can disbelieve.

it's only as easy as we make it.
do you know of any militias in your area that could resist a crackdown like the
kind you're describing?
if not, then our existence depends on the laws of our society. Thank goodness.
But... laws can change. So organization is what matters.

when they refer to "DEI" policies and institutional structures, they aren't
thinking of "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion"
they're thinking "Didn't Earn It"
they think that by "trimming the fat" they can make a lean, more focused regime
But the more they trim, the weaker they'll be when we start to contest them.
These policies aid their people, too, and they seem intent on dismantling
society.
what if we just... let them do it? We can build something new from the broken
pieces of our world. Don't look back. Despair is the true enemy. So long as
your neighbors and friends and community sustains you... You'll be alright.
"but I don't have a community!"
... workin' on it... workin' on it... this is not set in stone. Spend time on
the streets just... walking. See people, say hi, smile at them, spend time in
parks. If you live in the suburbs, sucks to be you, but you can build networks
there. Act as if you're organizing in a rural space when on a bike or your
feet, and urban when in a car

sounds like anarchy to me. well, the roots at least are shared, perhaps our
visions blossom slightly differently, but we yearn for the same sun.
