It's honestly hard to say whether Biden was more, less, or the same amount of racist in 1988 vs 2022

my main reason for wanting biden was that i thought succ libs could hold the gate on progressive social issues, benefitting me as a middle class queer person. instead, the complete and demonstrable inability to muster the machinery of liberal democracy has advanced the dialectic towards fascism. so that’s a bummer :/

I voted for Biden.

I abstained in '16, first (and only) time in my adult life.

For the record, I voted for Bush in 2000, badnarik is 2004, was going to vote Dr. No in the 2008 gop primaries, but instead registered dem and voted against hilary in the primaries (I had fallen for the vast right wing conspiracy's hilary hate machine, probably because she hated on vidja games and is also loathsome). I voted enthusiastically for Obama in Nov '08, and again in '12.

I voted Biden last November.

In Indiana.

gently caress Trump, and gently caress accelerationism.

E: I guess, to be more nuanced... I am an anarchist (I don't believe in Legitimacy, such that one has a moral duty to obey, and I believe good governance can be achieved through cooperation alone - Cops suck, etc), and I was at Standing Rock in the months surrounding the 16 election.

I was disillusioned and disaffected. I was convinced we were poisoning the planet beyond repair, that human extinction is likely to quickly follow, and that we must immediately restructure civilization itself a decade ago if we want to a oid extinction in coming decades.

Real doom-pilled, yknow?

Mueller mentions at some point that the other IRA spent significant resources doom-pilling 4chan in the years leading to that election.

Anyhow, I felt like an accelerationist approach might be the best path for humanity.

And didn't believe in electoralism. See, I was a huge Bernie guy. Right on the border of Indiana and Michigan. Yall know that story.

Anyhow, hope is gone. All is lost. gently caress fascism.

We can hate the federal apparatus all we want, but nonparticipation clearly allows the fascist to take the reigns.

That apparatus must not be afforded to the fascist machine. Don't let them have control.

So if you wanna not vote, then MARCH on the machine to dismantle it brick by brick (rather than allow child separations at the border, for example) that's a viable plan. I love direct actions. I wanna know the strategic advantage before I drill holes in a pipeline.

I did March with the blac block in DC on j20.

I saw, coming back from standing rock, that the federal machine had fallen into the hands of fascists. I was hoping yall would be there and we would tear it down together.

I stayed another day to photograph the pussy hats

E: lol I discovered last night I have 33 mutual fb friends with Tim pool.
Had no idea who that rear end in a top hat was until the house committee included him in amontages.

I was occupying south bend. And voting in mayor pete. And fuckin' around with d&d and #chanology. And working as staff at Notre Dame, while they files suit against the Obama administration because they did not want birth control to be provided to my female coworkers.

Jfc anarchists are the dumbest poo poo

I did like the post in another thread that people who self identify as accelerationists are universally weirdos but also to be politically aware in this time and place is to be an accelerationist in the same way observation of the physical world makes one a believer in gravity. It’s happening and it’s unstoppable whether you like it or not

If you’ve ever been to a big protest they’re to folks who dress all black and zip around through the crowd and smash windows and such. Nothing against them and it looks like fun but they think they’re accomplishing something which they’re not

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Eh that sounds like a lovely thing to do. Not sure what breaking windows contributes but I'm also not sure why you'd call yourself black block in the first place. I think I heard the word "chaos tourists" back then and it sounds like it applies to these guys.

It doesn’t really accomplish anything but also I’m not going to spend an ounce of my energy worrying about people smashing a chase bank or Starbucks window :shrug:

I went down to Lownsdale Square one night back when everything was popping off back in summer 2020 and a bunch of black block were tossing old bbq grills over the wall around the federal building and then it got set on fire and the propane tanks were popping off like crazy. It was pretty wild but again accomplished all of nothing at all

I guess if they're only messing up buildings owned by large corporations, that's not as bad. You're right that it seems basically totally useless, though. I guess the damage gets fixed and people say, "well, that poo poo sucked. I wish they hadn't broken the window." And everyone moves on. Does the bloc do anything else?

It's amazing how easily that stuff can just...never get mentioned. My sister was an anarch for a bit and often times things they would do at an otherwise peaceful protest would just never show up in the news. This of course means whoever was there can just blame it on the Dems rioting and blowing up their own city since there's no clear messaging involved with most anarchist activity and it can be twisted however anyone wants

my friends who do labor stuff tell me democrats are better because of NLRB appointments. whether it's because the democrats are "good" (whatever that means) or just oblivious, they're not as bad because the republicans will appoint people outright hostile to labor who will actively try to gently caress with union organizers in lots of petty ways

as someone engaged with my union I do not believe this at all. Dem appointments are also hostile to labor and gently caress with unions in lots of petty ways. the GOP might accidentally appoint someone too incompetent to stymie unions over an important point, whereas the Dems would never make that type of mistake

The Black Bloc is a Euro thing that's just crudely aped by Americans from what I can tell. Better organised and working and appearing generally as a unified group. It's designed to combat police violence. It's a bloc because it's often a combination of groups/ideologies.
