are there any good anarchist texts that wrestle with the contradiction between opposing the state as a force of hierarchy and oppression and supporting it as a means for people in the global south to organize resistance against imperialism?

it's unbelievable that no one on here has the display name "himemiya anxy"

1 year later, the NLRB found Google guilty of ILLEGALLY spying on two employees' activism, the real reason they were terminated. Even when things are looking down, never give up! Fight the power! 💪🏼

Shout out to @CODE_CWA@twitter.com for litigating on our behalf!

Since no one's bothered to teach the bartender about class consciousness, they tell their boss all the concerning things they've overheard. He calls them all dirty commies and kicks their asses to the curb.

The anarchist says, we should go around the bar and organize a mutual aid collective so that people who have more cash today can buy their neighbors beer and ensure nobody goes thirsty.

The PSL lady says, we should storm the kegs and kill the staff. The patrons will rise up in support of us, because they know we'll give them all the beer they can drink once we've secured power.

A DSA guy, a PSL lady, and an anarchist walk into a bar. The DSA guy says, we should try and get one of us hired as a bartender so we can give everyone a round of beer on the house.

every transphobic person could have felt this joy, but instead chose to create a monster in their head and be afraid of it

we'd have so much to celebrate, if everyone chose to celebrate with us https://twitter.com/NoisyBits/status/1334072738605043719

including America and Canada in "Europe" here. the first world, I guess

the thing is that Israel is what Europe wishes they could do to the rest of the third world

A European colony. That’s what Israel really is. https://twitter.com/trtworld/status/1333799267673153539

that's not fun, but I'm not sure if bumping it to Hard now is right or if it naturally escalates in-game, or if Hard will also be too easy and I should go for Nightmare, or what. I don't even know what these settings do

I'm playing this game mostly because @OhPoorPup@twitter.com insists that the combat is amazing once it clicks, but so far at Normal difficulty it's been so easy that I'm just jamming "attack" and easily winning every fight

at the risk of provoking discourse, going to Ys VIII after Dark Souls has definitely made me appreciate the downside of having adjustable difficulty, especially without a clear and moderately challenging default

literally the first thing @OhPoorPup@twitter.com said to me this morning was just, context free, "Elliot Page" and I immediately understood

RT @blotchkat@twitter.com

Okay, well I'm already annoyed by cis people and their reaction to Elliot Page.

"How would we know who they are talking about if we don't use his dead name."

His last name is the same. They changed their name to something similar to to their dead name. This isn't that hard.

so apparently 250 million people went on a general strike in India last week? that's like one in thirty people ON EARTH who were actively striking, and I didn't hear about it until just now https://www.plenglish.com/index.php?o=rn&id=62212&SEO=nearly-250-million-workers-start-strike-in-india

for anyone who's interested, I got linked to https://queertheland.org/ and https://www.uprootedandrising.org/

does anyone know of a good socialist agricultural project in the US that's looking for donations? it does not need to be an official non-profit

probably an accessibility antipattern too but I can't speak to that with any authority
