the radical liberals pontificating about what race of person are allowed to use what innocent phrases to mourn the dead, and why people are mourning a white male soldier and such, aren’t actually real federal agents lol. but this should make you ask some questions. we have declassified files from cointelpro operations. why is this crass exploitation of identity politics indistinguishable from what a genuine psyop would look like?

why is the department of defense using the banal appeals of “representation” in their recruiting strategy? why does mossad plaster videos of female IOF militants over their tiktok pages, waxing poetic about the “empowerment” of thugs and mass murderers? why is kimberle crenshaw, the academic hero of many liberal feminists, black feminists, anti-racists and LGBT advocates, pioneer of the often weaponized, often misunderstood concept of “intersectionality,” silent about the ongoing genocide in palestine? or, anywhere where American fangs are buried? congo? hell, why did the government lie about babies being ripped from incubators in kuwait?

the state department, its mouthpieces in mainstream news outlets, and its intellectual weapon—academia—all work in tandem to hollow out and exploit our pleas for material change. in doing so, these institutions are then able to groom us into these hyper-individualist, atomized tribes and drones that prioritize optics, ego, appearances and uphold “boundaries” that are nothing more than a means to entrench a false sense of personal novelty and exclusivity. Because Americans love the idea of being so fundamentally unique that no one else can quite understand the particulars of our plight. This attraction to individualism bleeds into every corner of our cultural fabric. the goal is to make each of us feel like an island in a collection of islands that can never form bonds and be responsible for each other despite our differences.

It is necessary for the powers-that-be to keep us complacent and thwart any efforts to unionize, organize, or connect our struggles to each other and to those overseas whose bodies lie at the heart of imperial plunder. It’s also a necessary marketing strategy to sell us products. It is necessary for these institutions to exploit social justice language and grievances to justify war. if we adopt this callous and destructive approach to “politics” then there is very little need for cointelpro, since we have become experts in enforcing it ourselves, and no serious mass movement against white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, imperialism and so on can ever materialize if maintaining these impossible “boundaries” overrides a material analysis of how we live, how we act, and what we can do to change our circumstances.

We need a male equivalent of political lesbianism

"Past attempts at establishing socialism were unreasonably aggressive and tyrannical (in opposition to that most coolheaded and diplomatic of states, the United States of America???), starving and poor for reasons that were definitely entirely their own fault, we must RETVRN".

Wow, weird, it's like you sound like my conservative uncle, just talking about the "reds", this is hilariously easy.

self-crit babe

Yeah sure you’re “anticapitalist” but are you doing so out of a progressive desire to create a new secular, scientific, collectivist, and egalitarian society or out of a reactionary impulse to return to an imagined perfect past of virtuous smallholders who totally weren’t ignorant, diseased, starving, and constantly doing pogroms

[rider-of-the-circular-equine]

Oh no, the anprims disagree with me on tumblr, whatever shall I do. If you're so "anti-civillization" why are you here on the internet arguing with strangers instead of living in a shack in the woods and sending mailbombs to ceo's like your idols? Aren't you the ones saying we must "live anarchy now" or whatever, put on your huggy-wuggy mask and agitate against bedtimes and showers?

#people on this site are insane

[rider-of-the-circular-equine]

surely this has to be bait

yet another pro contact to block

looks like "kardian" is a new term coined by that winterpunk racist btw, it seems mostly identical to radqueer

[rider-of-the-circular-equine]

one problem many anarchists have is that they think power is like an evil spirit and if you don't acknowledge or name it it doesn't exist

[rider-of-the-circular-equine]

I’m going to be honest you sound absolutely insufferable and I’m 100% confident that your behavior was not just “not being an asshole”

"That's not how you play Shadowrun!"

You know what? I am gonna talk Cyberpunk this week. Specifically I am gonna talk about my issues with the genre. And I could not think of a better place to start but Shadowrun.

You see: I always loved Cyberpunk, because I grew up on Japanese Cyberpunk. And both the atmosphere, the aesthetic and heck, the rebelliousness of the genre were always my thing. As such it is not much of a surprise that I, who also loves to play TTRPGs, was instantly drawn to Shadowrun once I learned about it.

But... While I was playing Shadowrun I got to hear one thing from several players: "That is not how you play Shadowrun!"

Now, what about my playstyle was it, that irked them like that? Did I min-max too much? Or exploited something in the game? (Okay, admittedly I found one broken mechanic in SR5E.) Did I endanger the group? Or what was it, that I did?

Well, simple. I... played a character, who is not an asshole. In fact, I played characters, who were... at times self-less and did things for other people. Which included both the NPCs and other player characters. Because, you know... Again: I just did not play total assholes.

And apparently that is not "how you play Shadowrun". Apparently Shadowrun requires you to play asshole characters. Apparently there are rules against trying to positively influence the game world. Sure, the rules are not there in the rulebook, but I apparently... was supposed to just asume this. Because... Being self-less is actually stupid, you see?

So, uhm... Yeah. I haven't played Shadowrun in a while because of that. Because of the three groups I played in two of them had one or two of the dudes, who would decry my characters doing the "right" thing. Something that I just do because... TTRPGs are in the end a power fantasy. And my power fantasy is it to help people. Even in a cutthroat world.

But it is this kinda thinking that kinda irks me with Cyberpunk so much. The entire cutthroat "everyone needs to be an asshole" kind of thinking. Because... It is tiring.

my apologies for not devoting my entire life to thinking about internet arguments, but in addition to real-world concerns preventing me from spending all my time online your links seem to be broken - when I try to open them all I see is this

[rider-of-the-circular-equine]

@kiwisandpearls if you're attracted to "drawings of children" you are obviously still attracted to children even if the children themselves aren't real - your attraction is real even if the kids are not, and attraction to children is the definition of pedophilia. Or are you going to argue that a guy who gets off to Tom of Finland is 100% straight since the men in the drawings don't exist?

[rider-of-the-circular-equine]

People who lie about being against predators who then turn out to be predators is a real thing. The fact you are denying that is baffling to me, especially since there are tons of anti-lolisho people who have spewed the same "loli porn is pedophilia!" who then turned out to have sexually abused real children

Are you going to provide any actual proof of this? Because if we're going to talk about pedophillia - I mean, have you read the butner study? Possession of child pornography is absolutely strongly correlated with actually raping children
