I used to be pretty good at chess, but now everytime I play, all of the pawns revolt, unite, outnumber and defeat the rooks, knights, and bishops, and then guillotine the king and queen ๐ด

@CaringErin Absolutely, crime and addiction are both things that are rooted in and exacerbated by poverty and an overall lack of access to essential resources and care
If I woke up tomorrow and my boss told me that today at my job I had to shoot rubber bullets and throw tear gas at people protesting racism because one of my coworkers killed someone in cold blood, I would simply quit that job and do something useful like stock grocery shelves.
It's up to all of us to come together and give what we can in an effort to learn to live with each other and the earth in a healthier, happier, more sustainable way. That means giving away food/care as much as it means throwing bricks at cops. Party hard y'all, this world is ours
Anarchy is not the absence of order or organization or community, and if you think it is, that's profoundly indicative of your reliance upon externally imposed authority. It's easier to submit than it is to take responsibility for your role in your own subjugation.
Please actively reach out and develop community support networks and affinity groups. Join a union and repoliticize it to be more broad and intentionally militant with it's goals. Make some tasty vegan food for houseless folks. Be revelrous and rebellious and relentlessly kind.
@Gay_AnCom Similarly to other abusive relationships, congregations often work to convince members that they cannot experience belonging/community outside of that relationship.
Among other things, the threat of being shunned by the community that raised you can be enough to control people.
At this point, you can pretty much name any stressful, terrible thing about life and I can tell you how capitalism directly causes and/or benefits from and perpetuates that problem. #CapitalismIsTheCrisis
Your boss is not doing you a favor by "giving you work." The ruling class who steal the value of your labor are the same ones who use money to restrict your access to the things you need to live, making it necessary for your survival to sell yourself.
Neoliberals will fight for "justice for all" when it serves their interests and preserves state authority, but they will continue to allow and even endorse further imperialism and colonization as long as it's comfortably nested within the purview of their fabricated legality.
