The old EU really focused on "these are all Imperial pilots who defected" -- which is fine enough for a few folks like Biggs etc -- but we can do better. In the same way that Andor's prison jumpsuit was orange, these workers' had orange jumpsuits for space construction work and still use them.

The network of evidence that informs the scientific picture is vast and strong. We're not shallow bare empiricists who throw out the speed of light upon a single experimental neutrino detection. A floating jesus on a cloud would overwhelmingly suggest a trick, a symbol, a communicative choice.

I was a nuclear-grade free speech warrior back in 2000 and I was perplexed as hell by folks thinking free speech meant an entitlement to being hosted and legitimized by anyone on their own blog. Moderated comments sections aren't censorship, they're a matter of basic autonomy.

I would characterize my position as still free speech absolutism (abolish intellectual property, legalize libel, and see my recent essay on what anarchists aren't allowed to say) but I wouldn't usually self describe as a "free speech warrior" as that's more of a social/cultural category.

It's popular on here and sneerclub to mock the rationalists for being rogue autodidacts who aren't sufficiently deferential and servile to the subculture called academia, but imo, that's the opposite of their failure mode: they're too fucking compliant unoriginal undriven chumps.

In 2016 "communism" went from being two old white guys trying to sell newspapers at the protest to an online fandom that was somehow even more embarrassing.

"Violence" is a contested term and concept. Liberalism says that calling the police or voting for laws isn't violence, when they obviously are, but then burning draft cards is violence against property. The question is not what constitutes violence, but what is justified.

Probably the most basic unobjectionable fact in moral philosophy is that "billions of animals suffer hell on earth." I don't care if you still eat animal products or whatever, shit's hard, you've got some excuse, but like something REALLY has to go wrong for someone to dispute that line.

This is why the concept and category of the "human" is not our fucking ally. Will never be our fucking ally. When you fetishize the "human" as response to AI, you simply empower fascists to champion human-nationalism until boring plumbline veganism is "anti-human," to say nothing of trans folks.

Tenderlibs and some bolsheviks are doing "oppressed people get to snitch" discourse on twitter, and it's truly unhinged. If a trans woman snitches on other trans women and they all end up in jail is it "pro rape" to classify her a snitch? I hate that I predicted all this, but it was an easy call.

I am genuinely so fucking haunted at the way Eric has been treated over the last three years since he got out. First there was the "he was colonizing the supermax" discourse. Then campists slandered him for standing with Casey Goonan. Now there's casual driveby shit like this from snitch apologists.

This, to put it mildly, fucking sucks. Destroy the AI companies, hound the executives, demolish the flock cameras, etc etc etc, of course. But outlawing invention itself? Imprisoning people for acts of inquiry and creativity? Obliges an infinitely powerful state.

And, just as prisoners desperately desire and fight for their pennies-on-the-hour jobs because it provides them *something to do*. I can totally see how a tablet with an LLM you can nonstop interact with (controlled by the warden) would feel immensely good to many folks behind bars.

And plenty of radicals like Joy James have pointed out the utterly toothless/counterinsurgent complicity of the nonprofit and academic sectors that have wrapped themselves in "abolition." But my fucking god, the sheer fucking chutzpah to act like the 2020 uprising originated prison abolition.

I have spoken endlessly on liberal abolitionism and how it subverts anarchist lines like "fire to the prisons and off the cops" into tepid reform policy papers that are ultimately impossible within statism and thus only held together with plainly unworkable hippie/christian forgiveness vibes...

We look at the wheedling hand-wringing refusal of so many german leftists to do more to clean house and violently expel the antideutsch and correctly see it as arising from a wasteful psychodrama around their own guilt, but US leftists are doing the same shit failing to confront campism.

Everyone knows the grotesque absurdity of people claiming to be antifascist and yet flying Israeli flags, saying shit like "abolish every nation but Israel last" -- but this arises from the same stew of privilege as those trying to cleanse their guilt by defending Iran as a necessary counter.

Indeed the antideutsch are not just an exemplar of campism's poisonous view of the world in terms of monolithic collective blocs of identity (complete w/ the myopic fixations of revolutionary defeatism on only germany/US), but it's symptomatic of a smugly paternalistic western orientalism.

If you're antifash then you should know that whatever you say could disrupt a movement fighting for your freedom as well. You stfu because you can more than likely destroy that entire freedom movement, or at least get ppl locked that fight till the end for yours, yes, even your snitch-ass’s freedom.

yes, noblogs is back up (mostly) but it's still very much in danger. it's extremely important not to let the state declare that privacy-preserving communication architecture is an act of terrorism. if it helps, think of it as part of the same range of attacks on privacy as "age verification" etc.

Chomsky combined genocide-denying campism with everything toxic and naive in liberalism (platforming nazis, demanding rape accusations be channeled thru state justice, hostile to insurrection). He was the personification of the anti-antifa Left. I dreamed of his dethroning for much of my childhood.

He had some good moments that held him back from being a complete 90s slop leftist (like scoffing at 9/11 truthers that "what would it even matter? what would proving that do? the US does tons of worse shit and no one cares"), but christ the campism was so toxic.

In the process of pushing back on this, I discovered that this former friend also had major issues/insecurities with my work on domestic violence. Then they said my defense of myself reminded them of a cis man. So yeah, that was 1000% a trap. I’d rather be “judgemental” than caught up in that shit.

If someone thinks my judgement on a particular issue is flawed, they engage with me on that subject and have the bravery to declare and defend their own position. When someone just doesn’t like my boundaries or just my attitude, that’s when I get called “judgmental.” It’s always a trap.

In this case, I was able to see the trap for what it was. I was like “I’m down to be in process and to figure out what making different choices means for our friendship. But my judgments as a very disabled, immunocompromised person are what keeps me safe, and more they’re what make me an anarchist.”

But the problem is that everything is entangled. You can't separate Palestinians held in Iranian prisons from immigrants being gulaged in ICE camps. You can't win the world by steps where we myopically focus only on some "immediate" enemy and only think beyond that after we defeat them.
