When he found that the administrators were upset, he laughed.

"Do they expect students not to be anarchists?" he said. "What else can the young be? When you are on the bottom, you must organize from the bottom up."

I know we use the "It is something colonial" quote by Herzl a lot to refute Zionist talking point, but I don't think you understand just how serious the full context of that quote is

Hurry comrade, shoot the policeman, the judge, the boss.

Now, before a new police prevent you.

Hurry to say No, before the new repression convinces you that saying no is pointless, mad, and that you should accept the hospitality of the mental asylum.

Hurry to attack capital before a new ideology makes it sacred to you.

Hurry to refuse work before some new sophist tells you yet again that ‘work makes you free’.

Hurry to play.

Hurry to arm yourself.

Liberty is no less a blessing because oppression has so long darkened the mind that it can not appreciate it.

The best way Christians can fulfill the work of the reign of God today is to participate in the work of abolition.

"Active disillusionment is liberating. It doesn’t mean becoming incapacitated but fighting in the here and now, without any desperate hopes for a 'world revolution' that will only leave us waiting while the world around us breaks. Wildpunk recognizes the dystopia of the future and present and tries to face it and create ways of life without at the same time falling into utopianism. The 'goal' is not waiting for a better tomorrow but fighting in the here and now to build something still worth living for: for us, our loved ones, our animal and plant world, our Earth. When it is no longer about waiting and hoping, everything is open to us."

-Elany and Samuel B., "Survival in the Endtimes: A Wildpunk 'Manifesto'"

... all human life, from the very beginning of its development within capitalist society, has undergone an impoverishment.

More than this, capitalist society is death organized with all the appearances of life. Here it is not a question of death as the extinction of life, but death-in-life, death with all the substance and power of life. The human being is dead and is no more than a ritual of capital.

Young people still have the strength to refuse this death; they are able to rebel against domestication. They demand to live.

I think that the coming tide of fascism will force many comrades to come out of their lethargy and put into practice the original anarchist tradition of being not only the detonators of revolution, but also of making it an objective reality.

Not just detonating the revolution to have it ripped off by party lineists as has traditionally happened, but to give it an objective life and a sustained life to build the first anarchist base from which the other bases will emerge and from which the deeds will inflame the spirit of the masses.

The sick, the elderly, the disabled, the neurodivergent, my sweet cousin on the autism spectrum — we tend to assign lesser social value to those whose ‘doing’ cannot be enslaved into a given output.

We should look to them as sacred guides out of the bondage of productivity.

There'll be a post like, "ableism is bad" and all the comments will be "yeah! Ableists are all sociopaths and narcissists!" "Ableists all live in their moms basements and don't contribute anything to society!"

In the era before the coronavirus, about five flights a day in the U.S. experienced a fume event, according to an academic study of aviation records. But no government agency tracks fume events or how often people become sick or impaired.

Pilots and flight attendants have reported an array of health problems, including eye irritation and coughing, as well as more serious long-term conditions: tremors, memory problems, brain damage and other illnesses that have kept them out of work for months and sometimes ended their careers, according to airport and aviation records, workers’ compensation filings, court papers and other documents.

Scientists have long warned of potential dangers from breathing heated jet engine oil, which contains tricresyl phosphate, a highly toxic chemical that can damage the nervous system. Heated oil can also produce carbon monoxide, an acutely incapacitating gas. A 2002 study mandated by Congress recommended requiring carbon monoxide sensors on all passenger airplanes. Today, most homes have them; airplanes do not.

Airlines have been asking Boeing to install air sensors for years. But the company decided against developing the technology. Senior Boeing engineers worried that data from sensors would prove damaging in lawsuits by sick passengers and crew members, according to internal emails and sworn depositions obtained by The Times.

An internal Boeing memo described it as a “risk” to give air sensors to even one airline, according to a deposition of a Boeing executive.

“Flight attendant, pilot unions, and congressional supporters could use this effort as evidence that sensors are needed and … to drive their agenda forward to have bleed air sensors required on all aircraft,” said the 2015 memo, which Boeing turned over in litigation.

wow and I thought I already hated flying and also Boeing

If anarchism is to mean anything of substance, it is surely not merely an opening bid from which you are happy to settle.

Anarchy doesn’t stand for small amounts of domination: it stands for no domination.

Although our approach to that ideal will surely be asymptotic, the whole point of anarchism is to actually pursue it rather than give up and settle for some arbitrary “good enough” half-measure. Such tepid aspirations is what has historically defined liberals and social democrats in contrast to us.
