I discovered I can just like, eat Parmesan cheese. Like, just the cheese. Straight parm.

Me: now that I got a plate carrier I’m waiting until I can get some Hesco plates

Girlfriend: what are you going to do with level 4 armor?

Me: operator stuff!

GF: ....

Liberty is the mother, not the daughter, of order.

To the “nobody needs an AR15” crowd:

Shut up. Grow up. Arm yourselves now. I’m not even remotely joking. The wingnuts cheering Trump on have guns. The Neo-nazis have guns. The 🐷 in Minneapolis have guns. The III% have guns. You’re out of excuses. You can’t decry the systemic racism and brutal inhumanity of American policing while advocating for those same cops to enforce sweeping gun control.

Nonviolence is a privileged position.

Last time I went to a hearing on a gun control bill in Olympia, the people speaking against the bill include PoC, indigenous people, numerous DV survivors and trans people. Other side? Oops, all middle-class white people.

I feel like on a fundamental level, sofas are just really weird. Like, is that really the best way to get a bunch of people to sit comfortably in one part of a room? Haven other cultures solved this in a way that doesn’t involve 300 pounds of wood and foam?

Mildly disconcerting that Bookchin’s criticism of the 60s “New Left” is very applicable to certain corners of leftist activism today.

Murray Bookchin in 1990, pointing out stuff that’s just as important today.

So, lemme get this right. When fascists invade right-libertarian spaces under the guise of “free speech” leftists are more than happy to point out how bad that is, but when Stalinists, USSR apologists, China apologists, Juche wingnuts, and “liberals get the wall too” auth-left types invade leftist spaces, you have to tolerate them because “left unity”

Good job on the self-awareness there folks.

Broke: Calling people “comrade”

Woke: Calling people “citizen”

You, halfway there: “calling people “consumers” is dehumanizing language that reduces people to down to their only useful function according to capitalist production”

Bookchin, all the way there: “call me a “constituent” and I’ll cut u”
