I'm procrastinating designing dungeons like you people wouldn't believe.

Prison abolition debates are hilarious because we have literally thousands of examples of societies without prisons (most of human history!) and 0 societies with these ideal Reformed Prisons the left-libs rave about, but the latter insist that the former are "utopians" lmao

Kropotkin wrote a popular science book about the role of mutual aid in evolution (the subtitle "*A* factor of evolution" is important, he knew it was one factor among many).

illustrations of the function of cops everywhere and people still want to claim that they "serve and protect"

took a cherry coke to my favorite overlook spot. cop pulls up behind me and points to a no parking sign. i'm still idling, haven't stepped off the bike. i say i'm just looking at the view. he points to the massive house behind us and says "they pay millions for it. you don't."

This is really the worst time of my entire adult life to be doing any sort of research outside of universities. Google search has been so hollowed out to the point of basic dysfunction; ChatGPT is so committed to hallucinating the existence of entire texts that it's completely...

@EcoTechBro Very funny to see people get squeamish about the entire point of Communism. As if only the top "1%" should be subject to scrutiny and not the upper echelons of the Middle Class too. We don't care if you own a factory, real estate, or a 401k, "ownership" of all is to be abolished.

But if you close your eyes does it almost seem like nothing's changed at all

[ድብ ⚢ @my_bearhands]

the only violence committed was by the cop who attempted to shoot a protestor. song acted purely in defense of life. stop separating him from the other defendants.

Judge O'Connor is an activist judge for Nazi pedophiles.

30 years for moving a box of anarchist literature. absolutely fucking insane.

[barbarism critic @barbarismcrit]

Gotta say capitalism is remarkably fucking resilient. This country is about to mint a trillionaire. There’s mass unemployment and the price of everything is sky high. Higher education is out of reach for all but the few while mass layoffs are happening everywhere. The entire stock market is a giant bubble of fake incestuous capital. And yet day to day life chugs along. It’s really mind bending.

ai has made life so depressing, can't just enjoy a photo or written words anymore without the haunting question of whether it's been altered by ai

@w0ruis I hate people who rationalise wage slavery

[Whale Oil Salesman @BlackholeBen]

@HitFactoryPod Yes, definitely
