me lil autism dump

keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it

kurwa na sybir nas zesłali wszystkich tak zimno

~Aleksandr Sołżenicyn, "Archipelag GUŁag"

“why don’t americans protest like the french?” france has 68 million people while america has 300 million, there are next to no job protections in america meaning you can be fired at any time for any reason, america is bigger than most countries in the eu combined, and america has the most well funded military and police force in the world who do not care about your molotov cocktail and will light you up

like come on do you seriously think this shithole at any point in time would’ve allowed you to do a tenth of the shit in france without straight up murdering you. the police sometimes will kill you for not even doing anything at all

an insane amount of people on reddit (yeah egg on my face there) act like you can win against the military with your shitty civilian gun. that’s not going to happen. change requires actual widescale organization mainly involving finances, just blowing shit up doesn’t help anyone

america is a country that figured out a very long time ago that you don’t need to compromise with the working class if you can just kill them, wether that’s via losing your job and starving or just point blank a gun to your face

for christ’s sake it’s such a common tactic to send literal mercenaries to strikes that entire companies are formed from this concept, most famously the pinkertons

if you want an actually realistic way to resist fascism by the way, find socialist/leftist organizations in your area and find out what they have organized already. theres a good chance they already have the frameworks of a general strike organized and they need numbers
