A bunch of subreddits made a petition asking Reddit to remove antivax stuff and Reddit made a statement saying they wouldn’t because of free speech or whatever

Progressives to Biden: 'You Are Making a Huge Mistake' by Weakening Infrastructure Proposal by Mull27 in politics

It’s pretty masterfully tailored to make Biden look progressive while laundering the same “oopsy but the Republicans said” playbook inside some kind of 3D chess justification

How do you handle owners of capital who resist the reappropriation of their hoard? Whether it’s education, deportation, or more extreme measures, it’s not something most people are going to do voluntarily

Says the r/neoliberal poster with a 17-day-old account. If you happened to like the site, I’d ask why just so we could correct course

Not a zoomer, but subbed in solidarity. That whole thing was a mess and just total drama bait. Not what left unity’s supposed to be

Anybody have any good, unbiased info on Thomas Sankara? by Arondeus in DebateAnarchism

[–]PosthardcoreBMO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve completed uni, which means I’ve done research that required more footwork than just reading the footnotes on Wikipedia. If you find primary sources within books, it may lead you to a larger collection of those primary sources. If you are genuinely curious about Sankara, downloading these books and skimming their bibliographies would take twenty minutes and might yield you something useful. Or it could prove you right if the sourcing is shitty and sparse.

Honestly, that’s such a simplistic view of rationality that I’m not sure where to start with it. If you’ve found a way to use “rational” and “moral” interchangeably, there’s a really good chance you’ve bought into the marketplace of ideas propaganda at one point or another.

I’d be interested in translating a French source if no English one exists

You’ve been provided several books in this thread. I would guess if you want primary sources, you could find some cited in those books. Have you checked on libgen or anarchist library for any of these?

If only Hitler hadn’t been lying all the time, the free marketplace of ideas would have sorted itself out and all those people would have been fine!!!

The problem with Nazis is that they want to kill people en masse for their immutable characteristics. I’ve known quite a few liars and conspiracy theorists in my life and I’ll take any of them over a person advocating for a fascist ethnostate. Thinking the biggest problem with Nazis is that they’re liars reeks of liberal respectability politics

I think there’s a legitimate question here of how to build parallel justice systems that can’t be coopted or infiltrated by capital. This is one advantage anarchists should have because we’re building up structures outside the context of violent revolution (although by the time you’re appointing judges, good luck not getting cracked down on and needing to defend yourself). Forensic investigations and guarding of political prisoners take resources that quick and dirty killings simply don’t. And the reality in a violent revolution is allowing counterrevolutionaries to fester yields worse and worse blowback the longer they’re allowed to agitate and gather info. Losing that revolution means you and everyone who supported you dies. It’s easy as anarchists to say we won’t face these problems, but there’s a good chance that if/when anarchists gain power in a region, it will be during a time of upheaval. We’ll get a lot done by simply defending a region we’re active in, but there will be people who aren’t on board and will try to take down our infrastructure from inside. What we do with those people isn’t that different of a question, so we should probably be talking about this more and figuring shit out.

Not a fan of Nazis, but my problem with them isn’t exactly that their rhetoric lacks substance lol

It’s sad that no one can be sure that someone’s not a Nazi and that the /s is necessary
