Do you consider answering “synthesizer” cheating?

I mean anything can be a toilet if you’re brave enough

New mobile public toilets just dropped

Then do it. I never said anything about not planning or a blaze of glory.

You said “Buy a gun and sacrifice” but without any discussion of what to actually do with those guns. Maybe I read too much into your words, I’ll cop to that, but it felt like you were implying that buying guns and nebulously “sacrificing” are the solutions. My point is that we need to actually do stuff with those guns and our sacrifices.

And strictly speaking, I did not say that you said those things. By your logic, I could accuse you of putting words in my mouth…but it’s more likely you are just trying to read the subtext of what I said, which is absolutely reasonable.

People standing for humanity don’t give a shit about your political system or nation.

Okay fine boycott us I literally don’t care, I fucking hate this country…but to do accurate climate research, you need climate data from across the globe, right? I mean sure you could interpolate the missing data, but would that be physically accurate? Probably not.

The way you people talk your talk is just as bullshit as the methods of the right.

No lol, leftists are incredibly rare in this country so even when we do go out and do stuff, it gets drowned out by liberals and liberal media. Like there are absolutely people arming themselves, doing mutual aid, protesting, doing direct actions, etc., but the culture here is working against us.

Like the Mafia boss ain’t shit if he’s alone. Under that metaphor, there just aren’t many mafiosos around here.

Like I literally do not disagree with your commentary about US-American culture and I am perfectly willing to let you vent at me about my neighbors and even myself, but you’re missing the forest for the trees here. This isn’t a W for you. It just sucks for everyone.

Are you talking to me, or at me to US-Americans at large?

No? Everyone else doesn’t deserve access to US-American climate data? Because even if US-Americans all unilaterally deserve the worst, then what about the innocent people the empire has damned to a climate-related death?

Buy guns and sacrifice.

This is individualistic thinking. I absolutely support armed insurrection against the US government, but we gotta organize, we gotta gather support, we gotta get the masses involved in their own liberation.

Individualistic tactics by those with high risk tolerances need to be complemented by collectivist actions.

It’s just not as simple as “buy a gun and go out in a blaze of glory”.

Okay but what about everyone else? Because they’re not getting that data either.

And what about US-American climate scientists? Like the climate scientists are not to blame for this.

Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.

Yes, that’s why we should stop capitalist violence by tossing them into the sea 🏴🏴🏴

IMO the capitalists, the politicians, and the cops broke whatever social contract ever existed. Your neighbors, as much assholes as they might be, whatever box they ticked on the ballot box, were caught up in the breakage. You don’t have to like them, hell you don’t even need to forgive them, but please understand that it is the systems that need to be destroyed. And if we have to destroy any people, let them be the monsters who drive the system (capitalists and politicians) and the people who inflict that violence upon us (cops, ICE).

Solution: just poop in the car/on the bike/on the sidewalk.

…

What? I said “Solution”, not “Good Solution” 😆

Capitalists and the rulers who do their bidding

Nah. I’m pissed at the Trumpets too, but voting ain’t worth shit.

Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.

Maybe try this?

Perfectly reasonable. I don’t disagree with that. But we still need to prepare for the day when disclosing that coherent worldview is needed. And more importantly: a coherent anarchist worldview can inform what you give to the movements you contribute to, and you can give an honest justification for why.

I can still work with people i disagree with.

Me too 1000%. All the more reason why we need to come up with our own coherent worldview 😁

They’re the same picture

But i can work with pretty much any if it, if the foundation is ‘i care about people and/or the planet’.

For sure I can work with them too, but we have to be ready to have these debates and work through these issues. My point is that good vibes are not enough to do good politics. Of course, people with good vibes are going to be much more agreeable to anarchist ideas, and any debates we do have will be more productive than people with bad vibes. But we still need to have clear ideas and good praxis with a solid logical and historical basis.

Ppl my take is basically “good vibes ≠ good politics”, why is this controversial?

I want to believe

I 100% support a general strike, but (1) I think that’s a lot more difficult to organize than revolt, which can be spontaneous, and (2) I don’t think a general strike and a revolt are mutually exclusive tactics.
