He/him queer anarchist
“Peaceful protest” has very little to do with what I’m talking about. I’m talking about militant resistance, such was what anarchist/communist movements have put into practice for 150+ years, including in the US. It isnt delusional, it’s history.
Another close angle shows clearly where ICE removes the handgun from the victim’s waistband and takes several steps away before the first shot is fired.
They disarmed and then executed an unarmed man.
This is the most harmful rhetoric to a resistance movement that I can imagine. You’re literally saying that people organizing themselves to force radical change have no power or ability to succeed.
Resistance does not look like a witty sign. It looks like community self defence, direct action, union organizing, general strike, and the miriad other methods that have been historically successful against authoritarian and oppressive regimes. These are the methods being used by organizers in Minneapolis today.
And you’re here arguing that The People dont have power.
No, it takes militant direct action. Liberal protests are toothless sign waving performances, but radical protest movements have over 100 years of history showing exactly what methods will force regimes to recognize the power of The People.
Okay but unironically getting organized with your local community and sustained general strike actions will literally bring the nation to it’s knees.
The United Panther Party is another small modern Panther org. The UPP is mixed and Anarcho-Pantherist in political philosophy.
There was also the White Panther Party back in the 60s-70’s formed mostly of white college kids following the Panther model. Essentially a more explicitly revolutionary alternative to SNCC, which was itself highly influential in the anti-war movement at the time.
These days there are several Panther groups doing smaller scale community self defence and mutual aid across the country, many of them led by second and third generation Black Panthers.
Our showers are seperated from the bathroom floor by at least a few inches of lip (for lack of a better word) so that water never flows into the rest of the bathroom floor. The drain is only in the shower section, so you can’t spray down the rest of the bathroom with water and have it just drain out.
A drain in the bathroom floor (rather than just the shower floor) allows you to spray water on any of your bathroom walls, appliances, and fixtures for cleaning and it will just drain away as if you were running the shower. We generally can’t do that here in the states.
God I love European style bathrooms. Why can’t we have floor drains in our bathrooms here in the US?
Mine are Angry Itch and I’ve been happy with them for several years now
Pretty sure BumLung is the original artist for this. I really enjoy their podcast The Spectacle too.
Love reading Peak patch notes
Queer anarchist (as in my bio) is the easiest way to get other leftists to understand where I’m coming from. To people I’m organizing with or talking to in person and willing to explain, I’m an anarcho-pantherist
By not using an encrypted messenger, you’re opening your messages up to being read by many more intermediaries than Google. Google isnt the only adversary that could exploit your messaging data, and it would be a hell of a lot easier for them and any other tech/ad/data company to access your info if it isnt encrypted in transit.
This is actually a technology community. Got anything more to say about the inevitability of Nostr and the merits of hate speech?
Idk what’s up with your apparent obsession with being banned, but if that’s a problem for you - maybe you should reconsider the way you interact with people on the internet.
It’s really not hard to avoid bans in most spaces. Just follow the rules. Each Lemmy community has a helpful sidebar where the rules are detailed.
My whole point is that removing abusive and hateful content isnt censorship, its responsible moderation. Any online community that allows hate speech is not a community I want anything to do with. If you let Nazis in your bar, you have a Nazi bar.
The “censorship” you’re referring to is what real online communities commonly refer to as moderation. Moderation is a direct form of influencing or “building” community in online spaces. Unmoderated (or uncensored as you put it) online spaces always necessarily become filled with bigotry, slurs, and Nazis.
That’s the conversation we’re having with you, even though you seem to want to talk about the same subject in a manner that doesnt match with reality.
Intentional community building isnt censorship, and a lack of moderation isnt intentional community building. It’s a cesspool with no drain.
Cool people who did cool stuff

Weird little guys

Ask the union leaders in Minneapolis if “no one is doing that.”
Minneapolis is where the George Floyd Uprising started. Go ask those organizers (who are absolutely active today) why “no one is doing that.”
Just because you dont see it, doesn’t mean it doesnt happen. Its not the job of the resistance movement to look like what an outside observer thinks it should look like. Read radical theory and you might recognize the signs of radical resistance.
