guns
Hello, are you a member of a marginalized group? Do you want to learn some gun basics? I’ll teach you if you want. Exchanges will be conducted via encrypted email only. If you live close enough, I’ll pay for some range time too. I am not an expert by any means but I know a fair deal and I think I am a good teacher.
Please note that this offer isn’t open to cis/het white men, and also that detractive direct action (i.e. violence) isn’t the only way to revolt against the forces of oppression.
As I re/play thru the #AssCreed series, u will be commenting on the antifascist themes and other cool stuff. It will be threaded and CWed. Reinstalling the first game now. :)
apparently eurovision happened tonight?
would much rather be watching #AnalogRevolution #PutOnAShow
Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen
i guess to further specify, Loewen accurate describes the result of propagandized educational materials but stops short of assigning a definite cause. “these educational materials, in the style they’re made, can only produce a complacent, uncritical civic body,” he says, rightfully, but without saying that doing so is in the best interests of the empire and is intentional.
maybe he wants to give the benefit of the doubt to the powers that be and believes that the bourgeoisie will eventually, with enough reform, give the proles the education necessary for waging class war. i disagree, but i also think works such as his are a necessary step on the path to revolution.
Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen
i’m almost through with chapter 8 and this book does an excellent job of dissecting the imperialist propaganda that constitutes high school text books
however, Loewen is kind of a lib. he makes several mentions of students or activists being “anti-white” and his opinions strike me as solidly reformist.
that being said, the book is still the most honest and straightforward look at this problem i have ever seen. would recommend with only a couple of grains of salt.
uspol, abortion, racism (incl. medical)
when you combine the factors of
1) forced birth/mandatory misery mentality
and
2) the disturbing history of nonconsensual, uninformed sterilization of (mostly) women of color and/or disabled women
the alignment between patriarchy and white supremacy, and their alliance with the settler-colonial state, seems really obvious
and their goal of a white supremacist ethnostate also seems really obvious
this is the first one of these i’ve seen: mbmbam dramatization
this extends to the right to sanitary and nutritious food. this extends to the right to safe water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and washing. this extends to the right to safe and comfortable shelter. this extends to the right to informed and kind medical care. it is impossible to respect bodily autonomy without respecting all other human rights as well. nobody gets to pick and choose.
human rights for all people by any means necessary. death to all oppression around the globe.
by any means necessary.
this includes pregnant people—those who wish to be pregnant and those who do not.
this includes transgender and gender-nonconfirming people to any combination of hormones, surgery, clothing, or none of the above.
this includes children. this includes disabled people. this includes people of color.
bodily autonomy for all people by any means necessary.
