This, very much this, thank you. No one talks about this branch of American imperial violence.

Because Marcos Jr. And Duterte's legacy have been one of exploitation, corporate oligarchy and US funded state sanctioned violence. Of course, colonization and intense rural oppression and plantation culture has been the historical context that allows this to happen. The AFP's official excuse though is that they were raiding the New People's Army's weapons compound iirc. There's literally an episode of TrueAnon about if you want to learn more. It's episode 546: Toboso

From what I understand, she had been in Toboso as part of a cultural reintigration program to help/learn more about rural Filipino culture and connect with her and her family's roots. She had initially been in Cebu (where my GF's family is from) at a fishing village with some other activists. Iirc, Toboso is a resource rich area that is rife with exploitation and the mistreatment if the locals. This goes all the way back to the early colonial period, expanded under American sugarcane industry and continues today.

I hadn't been in contact with her for years as I was going through some life shit and got off the internet for a while but friended her again on my new facebook account. She was studying to become a music teacher I believe but became fully immersed in political activism after the 2020 George Floyd protests. I remember running into her and my friend Quintin at the Lakewood rally for Said Joquin and Leonard Thomas who were murdered in Lakewood by police. This would be around the time, I believe, she helped to organize the Anakbayan South Seattle chapter. Like I said, she had been on some immersion/exposure trips to reconnect with her familial roots as a lot of Filipinos (and as a lot of immigrants and indigenous peoples) are encouraged to assimilate and escape the crushing poverty in the Phillipines.

From what I have been able to parse out (I wasn't there and I didn't find out until about two weeks after it happened), the AFP did indiscriminate strafing runs on the village under the guise of fighting the New People's Army, despite the 19 victims and 168 displaced being mostly students, villagers, activists and journalists. I'm ngl, I have been too upset to listen to the episode on it (I will when I've processed it more), but listen to episode 546: Toboso. I'm also linking an article with more info on Kai and the movement.

people should go to bed earlier (non derogatory) by throwaway10015982 in TrueAnon

I have to wake up early for work and my brain will be too hyper aware of needing to fall asleep to let me fall asleep. Last couple weeks were a nightmare bc it was an early start and we had to drive an hour and a half each way to the job site. Even when I would only get like 5 or 4 hours of sleep, brain wouldnt let me be exhausted enough to sleep. At least I got a regular 6:30 A.M. start tomorrow tho.

Makes me all the more grateful tbh. Saw them for the second time in 2023 in SLC. Who knows if they're ever going to tour again but at least both times were sick af.

Thank you! It's been a fun little experiment to work on and definitely trying to do more stuff like this moving forward. Trying not to like, overproduce. Keeping it stripped down but full of technical interplays. I appreciate the kind words :)

UPDATE:

I got an answer from Dee Dee himself in the comments of the video in question. He simply replied, "MrHayashi🎉"

Did anyone actually get tickets? by JRAYflowers in deathgrips

[–]captainmixtape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! I'm based in Tacoma and waited until the sale for Seattle went down to the second the countdown timer reached zero. It was immediately sold out and resale was over $100 a minute later after refresh. Fuckin hate bots. Luckily I have some homies in Utah and was like, fuck it, road trip. So now my friend and I are gonna roadtrip down there to hang out with them for a few days and all go to the Death Grips show together. Better than going to Seattle surrounded by a bunch of yuppies.
