radical feminists have all kinds of interests. we're everywhere!

And you chose to judge an entire demographic by the actions of a bare handful of its members. That's on you for being a bigot. And don't bother trying to pull trauma as an excuse, because if this is trauma-related then you're clearly doing the exact opposite of what you need to do, which is work at getting better to the point where trauma no longer forces your mind to fear an entire demographic.

it's still normal reaction to fear what's hurt you before, it's doesn't makes you crazy, it's basic psychology

Like seriously, wahhhh everyone I don’t like is a nazi. You’ve probably never even seen a real nazi in your life, never seen the hate in their eyes, never watched what that ideology does to real people. But here you are, stamping your little buzzword over and over again like a toddler who learned a new sound.

It doesn’t make you sound smart. It doesn’t make you sound edgy. It just makes you sound like an immature, whiny little brat who can’t form an actual argument without screaming “NAZI” at everything that makes you insecure. Grow the fuck up and maybe actually read something that wasn’t regurgitated by your fellow crybabies online.

Have you ever cracked open a Jewish memoir from the Holocaust? Ever read Anne Frank? Ever sat in a classroom with a survivor who came to talk about what they went through about their family being murdered, about living in terror,

How dare you trivialize one of the most gut-wrenching tragedies in human history by comparing it to a feminist saying “biological sex is the axis of oppression.” Do you not realize how grotesque that is? Feminists aren’t rounding up families, they aren’t sending people to death camps, they aren’t committing genocide, they are identifying the system that patriarchy rests on. And you think that’s comparable to nazism?

No. What you’re doing is cheap. You are dragging real human suffering, millions dead into your little online tantrum because you don’t have the spine or the reading comprehension to argue in good faith. It’s insulting, it’s dishonest, and it’s so deeply immature it makes me wonder if you’ve ever once stepped outside your echo chamber.

Stop disrespecting history. Stop disrespecting survivors. And stop fucking crying “nazi” every time you want attention.

Oh, but I know exactly what you’re going to do. You’ll cough up one half-digested little “nazi!!!” response and call it a day. Wah wah wah. Because you can’t articulate a real argument against feminism, so you just retreat back into the laziest, most inconsiderate, most cookie-cutter take on the planet.

It’s pathetic. It’s not radical, it’s not clever, it’s not even offensive at this point, it’s just tired. You can’t debate. You can’t discuss. You just hide behind your buzzword like it’s a shield and expect people to take you seriously while you stomp your feet and scream “wah feminists bad!! wah nazis!! wah wah wah!!”

But here’s another not-so-fun fact they don’t teach in school: if you're a woman locked up, you get a set number of pads for your period. Run out? Too bad. Bleed through? That's your fault. And if blood stains your jumpsuit? That’s a disciplinary mark. Rack up enough of those, and they can extend your sentence.

Yeah. You heard that right. Bleeding can make your time longer.Now ask yourself, do men have to deal with any of that? Do they get punished for their biology? For bleeding? No, they don't cause men dont have periods!

Women are being punished in a system that already chews them up and spits them out. Most women in prison are there for nonviolent crimes, fraud, petty theft, survival shit. Not murder or rape. And yet they’re given barely enough pads to get by, then written up if they bleed through.

This is why you can’t say women’s and men’s prisons are the same. Women's biology is weaponized against them. Their bodies used as tools of control. The system doesn't just exploit them it re-traumatizes them, over and over, for being women.

well for starters, i heard this fact from a woman who was actually incarcerated, so yeah, it’s a fact that happened. you really think the united states prison system is out here following their own rules?menstrual products only became free in 2018, by the way. this woman was in jail in the early 2000s. so yeah, she had to pay for them, and even then it varying state by state

infractions are literally called ‘shots’, it’s a write-up for a violation. and guess what? a dirty uniform counts as a shot. so no, don’t believe everything you read, and maybe try using your brain for two seconds about the very obvious ways prisons work around their own rules.

and i know i know no ethical consumption under capitalism but like…. you’re watching porn and that’s your idea of resistance? one of the most exploitative industries ever? okay 😐

but genuinely and i’m being dead serious, in terms of “small acts of resistance” the best one is frugality. capitalism exploits all of us and is constantly pushing stuff for us to buy to give us temporary joy.

A punk asking if it's okay to burn a CD… what timeline am I in??.

Y'all, they used to dub cassettes in the school bathroom and sell them outta our backpacks

Like tbh... most musicians make their money from merch tables at shows or direct support online anyway....Good lord.

Snitching is how they kill revolutions. That’s not paranoia. That’s history. And the fact that you have to explain to supposed leftists that snitching is deadly to organizing shows just how gutted and pacified modern political culture has become. These people don’t come from a place of struggle. They come from forums and campus politics and Reddit threads and think that because they read one book or went to one protest they understand power. But they don’t. If they did they would know what happens when you open the door to state surveillance even a little. They would know what COINTELPRO was. They would know that Fred Hampton was murdered because someone close to him gave the FBI a layout of his apartment. They would know that the reason the Panthers were destroyed was not because the state was powerful but because the state had eyes and ears inside every chapter. They would know that in every revolution from the Paris Commune to the Chinese Civil War the turning points came when comrades were betrayed by people who smiled in meetings and whispered to the police later. And they would know that snitching online is no different from snitching in person because there is no boundary anymore between digital and physical surveillance.

But instead of learning that they laugh it off. They act confused. Why are you so dramatic? What’s the big deal? Why not cooperate with CSIS or the CIA if you’ve got nothing to hide? Why are you paranoid? The same script every time. And when you point out what the state actually does with that information they accuse you of being foreign. They say you have an agenda. They say you’re dividing the movement. But the movement they speak of isn’t even alive. It’s a corpse propped up by NGOs and Instagram pages and activist clout. They don’t want revolution. They want funding. They want jobs. They want to be respectable enough to get into the rooms of power. So when you tell them that protecting comrades is more important than currying favor with state institutions they look at you like you’re the problem. Like you’re the outsider. Like you’re the radical that’s going to ruin their little career pathway through activism.

And they don’t just ignore the past. They help erase it. They call it conspiracy when you name the ways CSIS and the CIA have murdered leftist movements all over the world. They don’t want to hear about how Canadian intelligence helped break indigenous resistance through infiltration. They don’t want to talk about how the CIA trained torturers across Latin America using files gathered from leftist organizations. They pretend like these are relics of the Cold War. But the Cold War never ended. The CIA still funds counterinsurgency in Colombia. It still runs destabilization ops in Cuba. It still gives Israel the backing to slaughter Palestinians. And in Canada and the US it still monitors dissent online and offline. They work with tech companies. They use backdoors. They watch who organizes where. And when they decide to shut it down they don’t send a letter. They send riot cops. They send grand juries. They send indictments for conspiracy and domestic terrorism. You think you’re safe because you’re just a student or an artist or a poster? You’re not. If you pose even a symbolic threat to empire they’ll come for you.

This is why the old left always had rules. No talking about operational details online. No talking to the media. No bringing phones into meetings. No working with cops even if you’re promised immunity. No cooperating with intelligence even under threat. Because they knew what happens when you let that in. One weak link and the whole chain snaps. And it’s always the loudest, most visible radicals who get buried first. The ones who said the most but took no precautions. The ones who wanted attention but not discipline. And they’re the same ones who will turn you in the second they feel scared. The second the cops knock. The second they’re offered a deal. And if you warn about that, suddenly you’re the one being divisive. Not the rat. Not the collaborator. You.

The liberalization of the left has turned survival instincts into paranoia and political discipline into drama. The people who would have broken under the first wave of state repression are now teaching workshops. The people who would have cracked under one night in jail are now acting like they’re leaders. And when someone reminds them what actual state violence looks like they act like it’s aggression. But revolutionary spaces are not therapy groups. They are not safe spaces for ego. They are war rooms. And if you don’t treat them that way you lose. Not metaphorically. Literally. You get people killed. You get movements collapsed. And when that happens there are no second chances. The state doesn’t give you a do over. It just buries what’s left and calls it history.

So yes. You do have to say things like don’t be a snitch. Because the people around you are not ready. Because they’ve been taught that the enemy is only the obvious fascist not the liberal state that funds genocide. Because they think police and intelligence are just tools you can work with if you’re clever enough. Because they think snitching is just gossip. And because the last generation that actually lived through repression is either dead or discredited or ignored. You say it not because you want to but because no one else will. Because they’ve forgotten what the word comrade means. Because they think solidarity is aesthetic. Because they would rather hand over a list of names to CSIS than admit that sometimes silence is the only protection we have.
