I am a musician, anarchist, lover, fighter, and am here to immanentize the eschaton through art, mutual aid, direct action, and rock and roll.

I am so left wing, I make Bernie Sanders seem like Ron DeSantis. Liberals can Fuck Off.

I hope Biden and Trump both die in a fire.

From the River to the Sea.

Sure, you're punk rock. But are you "Muslim girl sewed a liberty spikes Mohawk" onto her hijab punk rock?

I'm starting a movement to call people who PRIDE in their toxic masculinity (Incels, Proud Boys, Andrew Tate) "Junk Males."

Make this happen plz. Boost

To all the Sealions who decided to pipe in with their bullshit:

Substitute "justice" or "self-defense" for "vengeance" and you are closer to what this person meant.

But I suspect you all just couldn't help being the fucking pedants that you are

Silicon Valley billionaires are creating a future we were all warned about by dystopian novels that they mistake for instruction manuals. Lots of painful & funny insights here from science fiction author @cstross https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/tech-billionaires-need-to-stop-trying-to-make-the-science-fiction-they-grew-up-on-real/

Whenever I talk about the world of the 24th century in Star Trek: TNG being the ideal economic and social system, someone will inevitably say "Star Trek isn't real! Gotcha!"

My brother in Christ, we an living in an amalgamation of 1984, Brave New World, every Phillip K Dick story, and Idiocracy

why does so much post apocalypse media have people wearing straight up bdsm/fetish gear lke. do the kinksters watch the world ending and think “oh boy I can wear my bondage gear in public now"

skelefolk

thats actually exactly what happens

brolitoquy

What | wanna know Is why the spiky kink warriors are always the bad evil marauders. They might be into some weird shit and unafraid to show it but that doesn't mean they want to go around killing dudes They're a tight-knit bunch A lot of them are queer. They understand the importance of community.

If the government collapses and all laws come to an end, the people rampaging around killing and looting are gonna be like, frat boys and 4chan rejects. You can mistrust the bondage raiders ail you ike but they're definitely the ones you're going to run to for help when the neoliberal blood cultists and Nazi meme demons iay siege to your survivor enclave. There's gonna be gayboy berserkers busting up slaver gangs and burning down wardoy frat houses. The assless-chaps leather daddies and weird petplay people are gonna be the accidental peacekeepers of the post-apocalyptic world just because they're the only motherfuckers who understand the importance of consent anymore.

Listen. Don't come to me asking how to get the secret cadre of bisexual death commandoes to protect your wretched tent village if you're scared that we might call in the kinksters for backup. | don't give a shit if they dress up like dogs and spend ail day writing poems about butt plugs. There’s assholes out there acting like Vlad the Impaler on a meth bender and you're afraid of seeing a nipple. Fuck you. if you really want to get rid of the MRA death gangs you're going to have to accept that a lesbian chainsaw dominatrix or two might be involved. it’s the fucking post-apocalypse my guy we gotta weigh our priorities here

In the third season of the Harley Quinn adult animated show they continuously pick on Bruce Wayne/Batman for being an out-of-touch billionaire:

Here is a scene where she is inside Bruce Wayne's mind trying to help him recover from the trauma of the night his parents were killed in front of him:

History has proven there is only one way to rid the world of Nazis.

The sooner we wake up to that reality, the better

I think one of the main reasons therapy and medication are so ineffective to treat mental illness is because what we're really suffering from is capitalism and fascism.

First they came for the trans people, and I did not speak out—because I was not trans.

Then they came for the drag queens, and I did not speak out—because I was not a drag queen.

Then they came for the anti-fascists, and I did not speak out—because I was not an anti-fascist.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Srsly... look at them

Nazis and TERFs don't want to "protect" children, they want to control them and strip them of their autonomy.

I don't see why adults can't see kids as whole ass human beings.

Also, anyone but me noticed that non-abusive/authoritarian parents wind up learning from their kids rather than the other way around and changing for the better because of them?

I'm Gen X and there are two groups of people from my generation who are almost all left wing, anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, and will fight to the death for LGBTQIA rights:

Goths

And cool parents of kids.

I'm depressed and I was wondering if anyone could help me with something: long-distance music collaborations.

Basically, I need a guitar player right now who plays metal, punk, or post-punk (the latter includes bands like Killing Joke, Lords of the New Church, and New Model Army)

The name I have chosen for this project/band is "The Very Idea" which was the name of a transgender bar in an Andrew Vachss novel - which is where I got it from.

If someone who has a DAW is interested I can send individual tracks as MP3s through email. You import those MP3 files into your DAW and then add guitar. And if you're skilled enough maybe EQ the vocals and some effects. (I only know the basics.)

I plan on re-singing it with my "good" singing voice. (I purposely channelled Jello Biafra, but I am a much better singer than this recording lets on.) A new version with keyboards has also been worked up.

The lyrics are at the SoundCloud link but I changed the first two lines of verse three to "Marx envisioned post capitalism to be a classless world without a state . . . "

The title is a play on "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" by the Dead Kennedys

Who are you optimists who think we're all going to die in a fiery nuclear blast?

The biggest problem with the western left is that it doesn’t exist.

To look at a lot of leftist discourse today you might think the left’s biggest problem is that some leftists have the wrong beliefs about this or that issue, or that the left pays too much or not enough attention to identity politics, or places too much or not enough emphasis on electoral politics, or is too sympathetic toward enemies of the US empire or not sympathetic enough, or that this or that faction gets it all wrong — but it’s not. The biggest problem is that there aren’t anywhere remotely close to enough leftists to get anything done in the west today.

And by leftists I of course don’t mean Democrats or “progressives” or anyone who just wants a few adjustments to be made to the capitalist empire so that they can afford medicine or a college degree or whatever. I mean real socialists, communists and anarchists who oppose capitalism and imperialism and seek the drastic, revolutionary changes this civilization urgently needs. Those who understand that the system is not broken and in need of repair, but is working exactly as intended and is in need of complete dismantling.

This latter category has barely any meaningful existence in the western world. The “western left” in modern times is either controlled opposition or what amounts to a glorified online message board. That’s not our fault; the empire has poured vast amounts of wealth and effort into making that happen. But we do need to be real about it, and we do need to fix it.

And it’s just so strange to me that this doesn’t dominate all leftist discourse all the time. The fact that the western left is a tiny politically impotent minority with nowhere near the numbers needed to accomplish its goals is the single most significant thing about the western left, by a long, long way.

I mean, if you were a general who was setting off to war, and you only had a handful of soldiers to fight against an entire enemy nation, that would be the single most glaring fact in your attention. You wouldn’t be spending your time arguing about military strategies or the history of equestrian combat, and you certainly wouldn’t be wasting your energy fighting against those who are basically on your side. Front and center of your attention would be the fact that you don’t have enough troops to fight this war, and how can you get more.

If you’re an architect who’s been hired to construct a skyscraper, and your workforce shows up and it’s just one guy with a plastic toy hammer, that’s going to be the focus of your attention. You’re not going to be poring over your blueprints and books on architectural theory and musing about the finer points of foundational integrity, you’re going to be trying to figure out how to get more workers to build this damn thing.

So you’d think that would be the case with the western left as well, because we find ourselves in more or less the same kind of situation. But it isn’t. To look at the writings of a lot of western leftists you’d think the best way to enact your ideology in the world is to spend your time arguing with other leftists using esoteric Marxist jargon about obscure points that nobody outside your tiny echo chamber knows about or cares about, or to sit back smugly knowing better than everyone else while waiting for the contradictions inherent in capitalism to bring about its demise.

If you look at organizing and demonstrating it’s not much better. You’ve got sparsely attended meetings with increasingly atomized sects, antiwar protests with a handful of people and one banner, and some LARPers dressed in black punching racists and transphobes here and there to make believe they’re fighting a real revolution against real power. Which is the same as nothing.

The first and foremost priority of the western left should be to create more western leftists. You don’t do that by having all the correct opinions and reading all the correct books and proving yourself the most correct in argument after argument, and you don’t do it by waiting for western material conditions to deteriorate like a bunch of fundamentalists awaiting the Rapture. You do it by reaching out to people, winning hearts and minds, showing them that everything they’ve been taught about their nation and their world is a lie, and showing them that things can be better.

I don’t claim to have all the answers on how to address this dilemma, I’m just highlighting a massive, glaring problem that doesn’t get the tiniest fraction of the attention that it should get. I address this problem the best way I know how with my own work, but I’m just one person with one mind. I hope to see many more minds pointed at this issue in the future, so that we can all come up with solutions and fix this thing.
