Just binge watched all of Aggretsuko with my partner. Many say Aggretsuko is about sexism in the workplace and feminism but while there's a bit of it in there I think it's REALLY about alienated labor. Specifically alienation from ourselves and from other workers. The ways we have to remain "marketable people" to survive even in supposedly casual social situations, because if they involve someone connected to work we have to be Professional

And they did it to this one dude but nothing is stopping them from doing this to many activists at the same time. Pick the right influential people and you can destabilize and break apart groups even if you let them go later. Kill the momentum. Just taking an activist out of commission for about I'd say 8-12 months is significant.

~America is already fascist~

And they *know* that other people are watching. They're saying "Look how easy it is to convince the system that any black man who owns a gun is too dangerous to offer bail. We could do this to any of you." They're making an example of him for black activists all over the country.

Because you need a stable grounding to put a lot of your time and energy into activism. He can't get back into activism until he rebuilds his whole life after 6 months in jail.

LB: Holy shit from that article: "The FBI, Keighley said, learned of the protest from a video on Infowars, a far-right site run by the commentator Alex Jones, known for spreading false news and conspiracy theories."

An FBI agent saw someone on InfoWars, surveilled him, and incarcerated him without bail for 6 months to punish him and his family for Facebook posts. They had no intend of winning the case because the case itself would fuck up his life.

“What scholars of Europe call the ‘long peace,’ from 1815 to 1914, ended with two world wars. But keep in mind that during this period of long peace an estimated 120 million people were killed in the process of colonial expansion and ensuring the safety of the capitalist market.”
