Noemen het wat het zijn: fascisten!

You can always spot a reactionary 'rebel' by looking at who they think holds power

Even as mainstream parties, the media and economy are controlled by interests close to their hearts, they will keep pretending that the enemy is to be found in marginalised communities or 'the left'

The 
@LemkinInstitute
 is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. 

No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. 

GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. 

IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:

"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."

"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

"for black people, for latino people, for trans people, for the people in gaza, we all deserve to live in hope and not in fear and i hope we stand together, my brothers and sisters, against hate and we protest against it"

This, in a sense, is the point of capital. You cannot demand dignity, justice, freedom when you're worried about what you are going to feed your kid. It has always been a manufactured scarcity in the wealthiest country in the world.

Uncle Karl taught us that two centuries ago.

So this is a gamble, it might not work, but to think of this as just ‘economic illiteracy’ or stupidity or whatever misses the point about the nature of capitalism, how it functions, and social relations, institutions and conflicts of which it is composed.

It's not real.
It's not us.
It's not bad.
It's too hard to fix.
It's too late.

Just about every climate denial argument I've ever heard is a variant of one of these five categories, and each one is as bad as the next.

Why? Because they all have the same goal: prevent action as long as possible.

If you're a faculty member—especially tenured faculty—who's never spoken out against genocide and/or stood in solidarity with students, don't complain about the shit that's happening now. Your liberal indifference is what led to all of this. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!

Had a dream I was teaching Descartes' dream argument and went out of my way to tell the students, "Look, I know it's kooky, of course none of us really doubts we're awake right now and couldn't believe this is a dream if we tried, but the point is that it's logically possible, so just play along..."

'In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.' is such a beautiful indictment of bourgeois culture.

Of the many lengths which people will go to in an attempt to advocate against migration, the "breed for Britain" one is one of the most insidious in my opinion. It is the absolute pinnacle of removing choice, from women, from people moving etc. It embeds the idea of people as a disposable resource.

In welke bochten het CU en CDA zich ook wringen, het is een bezuiniging op het hoger onderwijs om belastingkorting mogelijk te maken voor het grote bedrijfsleven, en wat snippers voor het volk.

A Struggle To Destroy The World The following is the text of a short lecture by Dylan Saba on the Palestinian struggle, the difference between a structure and an event, and the destruction of the old world as a bridge to the new.

Thus the only way to squeeze real, revolutionary justice from law is to pervert it, to turn it against itself. Can you turn a sentence against itself? Can you turn violence against itself? The revolutionary asks, and history answers. proteanmag.com/2024/09/24/a...

Eco-apartheid uses imaginaries like “sustainability” to safeguard the future of an elite minority, while institutionalising a legal, political, and economic structure built around the idea of “national security”. #palestine #ecoapartheid #ecocide #genocide #gaza #antiimperialism #liberation

a cartoon with two panels

panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground

Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there"

The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons
