Grimly hilarious that disinformation and brainrot has so subsumed humanity, that Daesh has to work overtime to claim responsibility for the Crocus terror attack; while the Russians try to believe the Ukrainians did it, the Americans try to believe the Russians did it, and the tankies try to believe the Americans did it

The Persian New Year begins at the end of this month and I hope that liberation comes for people this year.

May all Iranian peoples be free, may we see the death of the Perseosupremacist theofascist Iranian regime, may the pursuit of liberation drag all the bloodthirsty power-worshippers to deep cold soil and insodoing bring life and love to everyone everywhere.

May all peoples be free.

Happy !

I'm still not up to Black History! I'm still working through white US history. Bear with me! Almost there!

Q: Why does it seem like everything has to be woke now? Even our scientists?! It never used to be that way! Why does it seem like these days, even higher education has to think about race, when it didn't before?

A: Higher education, including STEM, did think about race before. That history has just been hidden from you. Because racism.

@mekkaokereke Einstein literally wrote a letter to Roosevelt urging him to seize a Belgian-occupied Congolese uranium mine to keep it from the Nazis and produce the best uranium

He absolutely didn't care about the slave labor used to produce the uranium

He also suggested a uranium mine on Native American land as another alternative and gave no thought to the genocide that required

People of color weren't people to him unless they were educated academics

Mad props to @firestorm in for accepting from and sending them back to FL for anyone who asks. It's a huge good deed.
Furthermore: every person in the photo in this story of them boxing up the books is wearing a mask. All the unmasked photos were taken outdoors. This is what real inclusion looks like in the age of .

@jik @firestorm masks need to be worn outside too as covid is airborn and spreads outside

in the air

It in fact spreads 30-100 feet outside, so no, refusing to wear masks is not "inclusion"

It's just more ableist excuses for excluding us disabled people

Friend's friend died of Long COVID a few days ago

She was queer, disabled, a bright light in the world for her friends, a fierce advocate for COVID safety, as well as a beloved mother & wife.

She struggled and suffered for two years with long COVID before it managed to kill her. She was a sweetheart I never was privileged to know though I clearly recall when she was active in my friend's life and the absolute joy she brought. She meant the world to her loved ones.

She was one of us, the forgotten and discarded, left behind to rot and die as the world committed to the fascist fantasy of the Big Lie that us "back to normal." She deserved to live long and well but for the callousness of anti-maskers & eugenics.

She deserved better.

May her memory be a blessing.

    " The denial of conflict and the singularity of individuals may reflect a fetish for unity that stems from residual leftism or collectivism. Unity has always been highly valued by the left. Since most anarchists, despite their attempts to separate themselves from the left, are merely anti-state leftist, they are convinced that only a united front can destroy the society which perpetually forces us into unities not of our choosing, and that we must, therefore, overcome our differences and join together to support the "common cause". But when we give ourselves to the "common cause", we are forced to accept the lowest common demoniator of understanding and struggle. The unities that are created in this way are false unities which thrive only by suppressing the unique desires and passions of individuals involved, transforming them into a mass. Such unities are no different from the forming of labor that keeps a factory functioning or the unity of social consensus which keeps the authorities in power and people in line. Mass unity, because it is based on the reduction of the individual to a unit in a generality, can never be a basis for the destruction of authority, only for its support in one form or another. Since we want to destroy authority, we must start from a different basis."

    In a 2022 earnings call, the CEO of Pfizer admitted he wanted repeated COVID infections because it meant they had a guaranteed market for Paxlovid and profit

    Wear a fucking mask and eat the fuck rich

    Participating in the spread of covid is capitalist eugenics, is fascism, is a crime against humanity for the sake of hateful greed

    "So I think when you add all of this up, what we are seeing is the fact that there is demand for this product. We also see that the social -- the removal of the mask mandate, the social distancing requirements that have been removed. You also know that in the EU that just in the last week, they've removed the emergency period of the EUA. That means that people are going to get out there. We know with all of that, infections are going to increase, and that's the role that PAXLOVID can play. So we're intently focused on working with national governments, state governments, in helping them to educate, to take great lessons learned from around all the different countries to help them to utilize PAXLOVID. And importantly, what we're also seeing is that it's not as -- we don't have any inventory on hand. Every dose that we produce is being shipped out and is being ordered. So I think all of these give us a lot of confidence that there is a demand for PAXLOVID."

    Sometimes I find myself saying something like "I'm too old for this shit." And then it leads to a chain of inquiry about are the Lethal Weapon films copaganda?

    Mordantivore,
    @Mordantivore@kolektiva.social avatar

    @Montaagge honestly at this point I think anything that portrays cops as good or reformable is copaganda

    I do still critically rewatch some things like Die Hard because it's so over-the-top ridiculous but things like Brooklyn 99 I struggled to get through the first time and rewatched only because my then partner wanted to see it.

    Even The Wire is copaganda and that show broadly paints cops as being corrupt, unlikable, selfish shits until a 'good cop" becomes chief iirc

    Hell, I'd call the X Files, a show I like and have rewatched a few times, copaganda because it depicts two federal agents as being relatively good people trying to expose the lies and harms of the government--- which admittedly tries half-heartedly to kill them a number of times-- while they also are confronting insular small town police on their Weird cases.

    Really, any scene of any show that shows cops as anything but the absolute enemy is copaganda. It's more a question for me of to what extent it can be enjoyed critically, or if the audience even is critical of police. A lot of shows, perhaps even most, have copaganda threaded through them.

    Bob's Burgers has copaganda, depicting local cops as broadly nice if bland and generally helpful to the mostly white middle class characters.

    Mordantivore,
    @Mordantivore@kolektiva.social avatar

    @Montaagge I think it comes down to "does this make me set aside critical thinking or otherwise encourage uncritical support of the police characters depicted through various mechanisms"

    SWAT is a great example of that. It uses big, attractive stars to pull people in and disarm them while being heavily subsidized by LAPD (the show--and many cop shows-- would be impossible to film without the millions in free use of cops in uniform in overtime, police vehicles, locations, street filming coordination etc).

    I watched the first season in the before times cause I do love guns & shemar moore is a handsome man and could barely get through it.

    The pilot literally is about how a character takes over the SWAT team because a cop was fired (already almost impossible) for shooting an unarmed Black kid (extremely doubtful it's an accident given the real life context of how often Black children are murdered by police).

    The latter half of the wiki pilot description: "Hondo must quickly establish his right to be leader, and their issues escalate when another shooting occurs at a protest to the previous shooting. Hondo learns that Buck saw potential in Street and vows to make the best of his inclusion as advised. The police gradually realise that the entire spat is not about simple racial issues, but a political one. Uncovering more clues of their previous suspects involvement in manipulating the police, Hondo and his team race to rescue Mumford and his team in an ambush and take out the remaining suspects."

    "simple race issues" lol as if centuries of violent oppression by whites and the assimilation of people of color into subservient roles for whiteness and white supremacy were nbd. Meanwhile, the cops are more concerned with how shooting protesters protesting police shootings make them look and how the cops are the true victims.

    Literally every episode is a copaganda theme but the only thing I found surprising was that some of the episodes did actually include white terrorists for a change, as nearly all acts of terrorism in the US are perpetrated by white Christian men but this is rarely even touched upon in cop shows.

    Fast and the Furious is just literally Christofascist propaganda. So long as you have a car, are a white man, and believe in Jesus like a good patriarch, you can achieve anything.

    There's no fixed line, everything has to be assessed within its context and on its own merits and according to your own principles.

    I can't help but feel like part of why everything is so awful in the west is because a significant amount of people actually think that wearing a mask or not going to Starbucks is a real political sacrifice. Like these things require so little of us and still people feel/act as though it is revolutionary or a feat of effort and it's just so wildly disconnected from reality

    It's painful to see folks using the original heaterbloc pdf. Please stop hahaha it's more work and doesn't burn as cleanly.
    Staying true to the pdx scene, heaterbloc folks had a tiff which resulted in one person refusing to update the original pdf that circulates most spaces.
    The pdf that came out last year is safer & easier.
    This year, folks are focused on various stills and different alcohol recipes so that heaters can assist our friends in various areas of the world who do not have access to the same resources/supplies as we do.
    I'm sure with these trials and errors, things will continue to evolve and grow 🖤
    We hope that this is always the case, that no one remains stagnant in their pursuit help one another survive.
    Please connect with folks, build together, work together, play around with various ideas, share those ideas, learn from one another

    Editted to add the link in, but please just consider sharing the link and not my rant because the info is the useful part, not my opinion on shit

    Also, if you're building in places that is outside the us, please note that you need things like heat seal jars. If you find affordable jars as well as other substitutes in your part of the world, please consider sharing with folks

    Thinking again about how an Iranian radical slogan now is "In the name of the God of Rainbows" in memory of Kian Pirfalak, a child of only nine years old, who was killed by the regime in reprisal for protests of the Jina Amini uprising in 2022

    He'd made a little paper boat and written on the side "In the name of the God of rainbows" and the video of him playing with it was released by his family in his memory and the phrase was taken up by protestors in his name

    Kian's relative was killed at Kian's memorial by regime forces who refused to allow even public grief and mourning for its victims.

    I see so much shared struggle and sorrow and joy, from occupied Turtle Island to occupied Palestine to the occupied Iranian plateau and beyond

    Death to all regimes

    we struggle in the name of the God of rainbows

    "🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

    —

    The Popular Front calls for Participation in the Global Strike and its Escalation

    The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine calls for participation in the global strike, which was called for by forces in solidarity with our oppressed and struggling people for their freedom. The strike is scheduled for every Monday until the cessation of the aggression and genocide against our people.

    The Front considers this strike as part of the comprehensive escalation required for all forms of protest and struggle against the forces of aggression that insist on continuing the genocide against our people, obstruct every effort to stop it, and support and participate in this aggression with money, weapons, and political cover.

    The Front invites labor unions, professional associations, progressive forces, and supporters of our people around the world to engage in every possible effort to make this strike successful, expand its base and the scope of participation in it. It considers that every effort to harm the interests of the imperialist forces of aggression positively contributes to saving our people from the fires of barbaric genocide.

    The duty today for all the free people of the world, especially the sons and daughters of the Arab nation, is to escalate pressure and protest using all means of struggle and its forms and tools, to strike the interests of the forces of aggression, besiege their embassies and bases, and prevent financial and military support to the zionist entity that slaughters and besieges our people.
