  • because there’s a universal blockade by the genocidal Israeli state on the Palestinian people both in Gaza and the West Bank. that’s what the apartheid wall is for. that’s what the segregated roads are for. a state’s currency can only exist if the state is autonomous, not the other way around. otherwise they’d just be printing origami paper



  • this song describes perfectly why I couldn’t give a fuck about space colonization anymore.

    after covid, Ukraine, Palestine, Iran, Sudan, etc. and the sheer number of genocides the governments around the globe managed to squeeze in in just a short 6 year period, I stopped caring about the progress and democracy fetish they’re trying to force feed us.

    if we wanna make the world a better place, we gotta stop relying on them. i know now they’re gonna use those space launches to perfect their genocidal weapons, that’s why I could enjoy NASA before I knew the military industrial complex


  • the main sources of child abuse stem from the nuclear family, patriarchy and white supremacy. sociologists and anarchists call this intersectional system of domination childism.

    as adults we should all start with abolishing parental rights and not treating children like property.

    once children have the freedom to choose their parental figures, abuse will go way down.

    in other words, we need to apply the lessons from the feminist movement of emancipating women to emancipating children.

    it’s no coincidence that in old timey rhetoric women were called children, because being associated with a child means you become a slave to your husband.









  • if I applied this defeatist logic to other things then my history of using Windows for decades would’ve invalidated any of the Linux advocates trying to get me to leave my abuser Microsoft.

    i could’ve wallowed in complacency and used Windows until I died instead of applying myself and learning a new ecosystem.

    by this logic, all the Linux users are virtue signaling because now that Linux is also flirting with AI, all the efforts to promote open source are null because they’re “just as bad as Microsoft”.

    this is the same logic that we as white people use to buy a new phone every year even though that contributes to more slavery in the cobalt mines when just buying a refurbished phone would’ve both been easier on our wallets and would’ve lead to less market demand on the child miners in the DRC.

    just because I can’t find every single appliance I need to survive on the used market, that doesn’t mean that I’m now justified to upgrade to a new smartphone whenever my current one loses the shiny bubbly feelings it gives me. i believe this is what leads gamers to make excuses for AI usage in their favorite products. as long as they can live in ignorance and aren’t forced to come to terms with how the sausage is made, they’ll continue invoking asinine excuses for their harmful behavior. if white people started seeing Black people as fellow human beings, then any hint of slavery in the tech supply chain would lead us to boycott big tech and AI whenever possible.

    black and white thinking and perfectionism are self-defeating learned behaviors that can be unlearned with time, you aren’t doomed to inaction for the rest of your life. the choice is yours whether you apply this knowledge to your everyday life to fight for labor rights or you continue to wallow in impotence.
