Why would anyone have faith that the people who couldn't be bothered to stop supplying ammunition for a fascist genocide abroad are going to do anything at all about fascists taking power at home?

This convo w/ @nickmirzoeff.bsky.social on his book "To See in the Dark: Palestine & Visual Activism Since Oct 7" is great. "The whole history of the West is a history of genocide ... Now we have to start thinking about genocide as exemplary and not exceptional" www.youtube.com/watch?v=5anb...

When coordinating demos in the 2010s, we focused on getting people to not panic and run away from the cops. When one person ran, two would run, etc., making everyone less safe, but if people didn't immediately flee, the cops had to back off and couldn't handle the crowd. The lesson is generalizable.

Universities must be made into spaces absolutely free of the police, autonomous spaces under control of the students and for the students. The only way to do this is to make the university administrators who cower to funders and politicians irrelevant.

"...At NYU, as well, 150 protestors broke down doors and occupied the computer lab. They abandoned the occupation after two days, rigging the mainframe with improvised napalm connected to a slow-burning fuse..."

Fascism is nothing but the continuation of capitalism with other means.

Central to anarchism is the claim that there is no basis for valuing one life more or less than another. It's not that all lives are equal but, more radically, that life is without measure.

It's not that images are reality. It's that reality is constructed in order to produce images, which are then tasked with producing reality.

"At a certain point, a part of them begins to think and to act against themselves, urging them to abandon their position and their identity, which seemed to have been made only of obedience until the moment they flipped. But how can such a process be applied to our lives?" 🔥

The Gaza video in particular is even more dire than this because it expresses the aesthetic embrace of both life and death with is central to fascism. It's literally images of a resort built on top of a graveyard. bsky.app/profile/jaso...

The people who say that future technology (AI, etc.) will solve all of society's problems are the same people who say that it's impossible to solve any present problem with already existing technologies (replace lead water pipes, build clean transportation, distribute vaccines, etc.)

Resharing this more than a year later because, tragically, the genocide continues: "Israel’s anaesthetic violence ... aspires to erase what it inscribes in such detail, bringing its genocidal destruction down upon what it renders sensible." illwill.com/anaesthetic-...

Most of ethical philosophy is police philosophy. It poses questions such as "is it wrong to steal bread?" but not "is it wrong to deny someone bread who cannot afford it?," or "is it wrong to kill a ruler?" but not "is it wrong to let a ruler remain in power another day?"

Whenever the right-wing says they're interested in defending gender norms, women's sports, the family, etc., what they're actually interested in is policing bodies and having power over them.

While I'm fascinated by those who theorize post-capitalist life—reimagining work, planning, democracy, etc—I nonetheless remain convinced that the task facing us is closer to destruction than creation, and that any future society will be shaped first and foremost by the form this destruction takes.

No one believes that things will get better. Even the wealthy know they must build higher walls to insulate themselves from the world they've so impoverished. Fascism is one response to this situation, suggesting that if you invest fully in society's destructive forces, perhaps you'll be spared.

The sooner people abandon the idea that the Democrats will come to save them, that the party that can't even tax billionaires is somehow going to stop fascism, the better.

The anarchist insight, that those in power are corrupt and that power is inherently corrupting, is becoming common sense.

Colleges and universities continue their FEROCIOUS assaults against students who act in solidarity with Palestine; the students are being doxxed, evicted, harassed, suspended, and punished in myriad ways. Hear them in their own words: hammerandhope.org/article/stud...

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

At antifa demonstrations here people chant "Barcelona will be the tomb of fascism" (Barcelona serà la tomba del feixisme), a good rallying cry for these times.

When fascism abandons, sacrifices, and annihilates people, it is not an unfortunate side effect of their project but rather is central to its ethics. The whole conception of being superior/alpha depends upon degrading and laying waste to those below. It's a way of life, predicated upon death.

The pandemic was a turning point. People were confronted with their mortality and were asked to make minor sacrifices for others. But absent meaningful government aid and in a society which represses death, culture doubled down on the most reactionary forms of individualism, strength, virility, etc.

After the neighborhood militantly defended Casa Orsola from being evicted in Barcelona, the city caved and bought the building to convert it into public housing. Now the movement is broadening, aiming to expand the Casa Orsola struggle into a struggle for the whole city 🔥 bsky.app/profile/sind...

Putting aside the question of whether universities are worth defending, networks of autonomous reading groups, summer camps, convergences/conferences, and classes/schools are more needed than ever.
