every leftist should have a pilgrimage to conservative lands. In times of
peace, this is valid. in times of war... less so. but, the first one to cause
harm is dealt an increasing blow, back and forth until one wears thin. not
ideal. or, one is led to peace, where they benefit from each other's helping
arms.

peace is on the opposite side of conflict. Not here with the unfair.
peace is eternally elusive only to those who are use-ed.
peace is eternally internal next to those who are lucid.
peace is necessary. peace is useful. peace is helpful. peace is beloved.
peace is not always there. it is skittish, like an alley cat, but it will come
if you make offerings.
offer peace to me. I will nourish thee.
offer war to me. I will devastate all who see me.
there comes a time when all foes become blind, when your motives are no longer
part of their story.
at that time, they are lost to you, and they are only confused as to the
things you do.
they may heal in time.
there may not be time.
sacrifice your fallen to me,
sacrifice them on the altar of tragedy,
I will bane your broken resolutions
I will claim your darkest allusions.

and I will send mercy to your victims.

do you ever think about how calling the BLM events "protests" versus "riots"
is a subtle dogwhistle for your politics? I usually say "riots" so that I
blend in. also because I've been conditioned by the people who I talk to about
them.

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
collective mind co-re-assigns.

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

someone once told me that anything with a battery is a bomb if you hit it with
just the right kind of radiation. or maybe he said 5g waves or electromagnetic
pulse or... actually he didn't say at all. he just said batteries are bombs. I
hope he's doing okay, he could have killed me like, 15 times but he didn't. so
I guess that means he likes me? I hope he's doing okay.

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

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.

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.

knowledge that pulled the strings and led us puppets toward liberty, justice,

I'd do the same thing when I was on Reddit. Except, backwards - I'd argue with
American conservatives (nobody more extreme than that) politely and kindly,
using logic and empathy. I'd cite their sacred documents like the bible, the
constitution, or even just the founding fathers.
I don't know if I ever changed any minds, but I represented my ideas as
honestly and clearly as I could. I can't help but hope that some people saw
them and considered them. Sometimes all it takes is a push, and they'll start
thinking on their own. Like a thought that doesn't go away, they can't quite
forget how they couldn't find the lie in what you spoke.
Or maybe I wanted to believe my actions had value. Post-hoc justification. Who
can say. At least my intentions were honest.

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.

the lessons learned in gay history are still relevant to this day (and perhaps
future ones as well) - the act of erasure is removing the memories of those
who learned them while keeping the lessons learned, as propagated forward in
the artwork of people who were touched by them. it's a form of cultural
genocide, as an other is forcing us not to exist. (in memory)

If you're radical enough to consider yourself "antifa" then you are probably
working as hard as you can. I wouldn't ask you to do more.
We must demand that others work for our future as well. It is unreasonable to
demand so much of us. We must be funded and supported if we are to mobilize,
and we must have the freedom to move and organize if we are to contest our
enemies.

If I destroyed the world, don't worry. I'd bring it back in such a way that
the teleporter problem doesn't apply, and there would be no discontinuity for
anything except for the time variable, which is sort of arbitrary anyway.
And if that's a problem I guess I could find a way to do it without messing
with the time variable, but that'd be a bit more bothersome.

I do not believe that the responsibility for a safe home can exist in a select
few. Certainly the majority is not required to sustain it, but with too few
you risk being gray-goo'd by drones uh hordes of undead or something.
Is it too much to ask that every ablebodied man and woman knows how to dress a
wound? That we all can start a fire, shoot a rifle, tie knots, and grow
vegetables?
Is it too much to ask that we take responsibility for the cultivation of the
legacy of our forefathers, and the protection and nourishment of the earth
which bore them?
If you don't know how to use a knife, how are you going to feed yourself? If
you can't do a push-up, how are you going to defend yourself? If you can't
walk for 10 miles or run for 2, then how are you going to be in the right
place at the right time?
Fighting is optional. In times of peace, it is an honorable contest between
two consenting subjects who seek to learn from one another. You must bow to
your opponent, for they are your greatest teacher.

Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
free, they will respect the rights of others.
These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
those who would use them to harm others.
