Thats not the argument I was making. But whatever, it still seems like you are admitting there is nuance to this even if Anark is wrong. Which was at the end of the day, all I was trying to say

This is just what the CNT-FAI did with POWs during the Spanish Civil War. Whether that is a prison, I would say, is debatable.

Anark is an idiot who supports what would basically be anarcho-cops, anarcho-bureaucrats, and anarcho-cia. So not surprised he’d support building prisons. Bro’s basically just another Vaush. Some influencer larping an anarchist. Screenshot pulled from Constructing the Revolution by Anark. It is on the Anarchist Library.

Considering how much the US relies on undocumented immigrants and prison labor (read slave labor), the US would certainly hurt. There’s plenty more stuff to consider as well that would likely add to a collapse, but this is the biggest impact I can think of.

Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most

That is not oppression

I thought that was Flash Thompson?

I believe its because they don’t believe being trans is real, and so they think anyone who is trans is just a pervert cause the only reason they can think anyone would want to be a woman is to perv on women. Its at the end of the day misogyny. Because of this I don’t think they even realize trans men even exist, cause it doesnt fit their misogynistic ideas of men and women. To them, women cant be pervs so there is no reason why someone they see as a woman would want to be seen as a man. Even if they do know of trans men, I don’t think they see it as problematic (or at least as severely so) because of their misogynism.

However, this is all just my thoughts on it, and also very much a generalization. Even if I am right, it is very likely there are transphobes that this doesnt apply to.

I am convinced that peta is a psyop by the meat industry to trick people into thinking animal rights activists, vegans, and vegetarians are crazy and thus make people dismissive of their arguments.

I think left-wing people should also be upset with this movie as well. Just not for the reasons the right are.

Specifically because Christopher Nolan had gotten permission from Italy to use environmentally protected locations for filming, and then proceeded to dump plastic skeletons into them. But good luck finding any non-Italian new outlets talking about this.

The statement that “all trans people want more” is also crazy to me cause it makes me wonder how he’d react to a case like my sister who in fact wants less (in a way). My sister used to be prescribed it via pill, but her doctor swapped her to the patch (saying it had lower stroke risk), but she seems to be really sensitive to the patch. This is causing her hormone levels to be way to high and I guess giving her symptoms similar to being on her period 24/7. She wants to go back onto the pill but the doctor wont answer the phone or her emails.

I feel like the blue doesnt stand out well against the green, but besides that I really like it

Sometimes things dont need a moral or ethical reason not to do something. Sometimes all that should be needed is the fact it is disgusting and/or dangerous

It wouldnt be the Cree, it would be the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Abenaki, and Wolastoqiyik (maybe some others that I am not aware of).

I do read theory, but it is likely different than yours. I do not believe that landback or any of the change that is needed here will come from a politician. Especially if the strategy is to find a politician that is working class, holds all the right views, and has any viable chance of winning. I don’t see electoralism as a viable strategy, but when need be I feel the strategy is to find the most agreeable one and then apply external pressure (through direct action, protest, and advocacy) for the change we want. While Platner hadnt advocated for landback, he did advocate for queer rights (including trans), universal healthcare, divestment from Israel, and had the endorsement of the labor unions. That was as close to agreeable as I saw. Now I wasnt ever gonna campaign for him, and hell I didnt even think I was gonna vote for him, but I did see him as the most agreeable choice when the alternatives were Susan Collins and Janet Mills (who has a long history of blocking important legislature and being hostile to idigenous tribes). However with the rape allegations (his response to it being the cherry on top), it doesnt matter how agreeable I perceived him in the past. The only hope for an agreeable senate seat is if Platner drops out and Troy Jackson gets the seat. And frankly I do not have much hope for the electoral politics working out well here.

Instead I am going to hold course to direct action as the strategy I want to invest my effort into. If others want to put effort into other strategies, the 100% can. But I expect people to tolerate and respect where I am choosing to put my energy, just as I respect and tolerate where they put theirs (and not to assume I am just being an armchair politician).

This is all to say, thank you for apologizing and I appreciate you being amicable now. I apologize if this comes off blunt or like I am trying to get the last word in, that is not my intention. I just wish to explain myself so you have a better understanding where I am coming from with this, address any loose ends to the convo, and to just generally clear things up. And totally truce [pic related].

Also genuine question, are you from Maine?

I organize an activist and mutual aid group, so you can get off your high horse and stop accusing me of doing nothing. You saw one comment and assumed I am doing nothing. You saw through one window and think you can saw through my whole house.

And no, I wasnt defending him because I just think people can change. I thought he did change because of his apologies and beliefs. I felt the tattoo was not evidence enough against this because I could see scenarios where a former soldier, mercenary, and bluecollar worker from Maine would get a tattoo not knowing it was a nazi symbol.

Now leave me alone or I’m just gonna block you. I no longer have the patience for your bad faith scolding and demands for self-flagellation.

Edit: also thinking that someone making a couple comments on the internet giving the benefit of the doubt is somehow equivalent to nazi apologia or defending colonialism and genocide is, once again, crazy.

Edit 2: Also also, as someone pointed out, this person is a fucking victim blamer. So frankly they can eat shit. Crazy they think they got ground to stand on. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/26963454

I am an anarchist, and anti-electoralist. All I have ever done to defend him was say that it is possible he had changed, and that I didnt like when people cherry picked quotes without also showing his later statements on those quotes, and that I was pissed about all these people outside of Maine all of a sudden having something to say about Maine politics.

I do my part in my community. I do not need to add electoral politics to “reparate” onto that list.

This is a crazily aggressive response that makes a lot of arrogant assumptions, and all at someone who is admitting they were wrong about half-heartedly defending a politician. No wonder people never admit when they are wrong.

Arguing with someone admitting they were wrong, and doing it as a two part comment, is genuinely insane.
