  • I’ve read through your earlier post and it doesn’t really strike me as frightening or anything. It seems like standard kind of national mythology stuff that gets taught to kids no matter where they’re from. What’s the alternative? Is there a country on Earth that has an education curriculum amounting to “We suck and everything sucks. The government should be overthrown”?

    Honestly what you described makes me kinda envious. It sounds cool, and it seems to have better outcomes. Kids in China outperform kids from my country in every metric from what I know, including stuff like understanding of civics, history, etc. Whereas when I was growing up I was told national mythology that makes excuses for genocide, like that pilgrims were friends with native americans, and that there were “kind” slave owners. I was continuously told the American Civil War was over a complex disagreement over civics, not slavery, and in fact the northern states started the war over jealously of the south’s freedoms. The south which was a slave economy. I was told my state of Texas was justified in its war against Mexico for vague semblances of freedom and justice, even though the Texans were fighting to keep their slaves.



  • Dude, this may be breaching opsec, but my comrades have had DEA and FBI knock on their doors because of affiliation with anarchist organizations and connection to BLM leadership. Please don’t tell me what cops here do or what I have the freedom to do. I live here and I’ve seen people get arrested. Just last month an elderly guy was shot and killed in an FBI raid over a tweet.

    We’re free to criticize as long as we keep quiet about it and don’t actually try anything. The place I live absolutely will kill people if need be. I’m definitely not free to be open and critical wherever I go. My boss will fire my ass if he knew my politics. I’ve been fired for unionizing attempts at previous jobs. Is that freedom? Freedom of speech without the freedom to do shit about it? I don’t subscribe to this liberal horseshit of raising awareness or raising voices, or that my ability to say certain things is my greatest freedom. Fuck that, I would take a free house, comfortable existence, a better job, and healthcare if it meant never opening my mouth again. You understand me? I want to do shit now, actual physical things and topple this whole capitalist framework.
