#why is suffering capitalized on

[mueritos]

Hey Matteo, is there anyway I can be an anarchist from home? I dont have the means to do things like leave the house for too long so no protests. I know theres donating to certain places but I dont feel like Im doing enough

hi friend! first of all, being an anarchist doesn't necessarily mean youre gonna be out on the front lines throwing molotov cocktails or creating communes. being an anarchist, to me, is living life in the most anarchist way of de-centering hierarchy in your interpersonal and intrapersonal life/relationships, of honoring people's autonomy (and even their autonomy to make bad decisions or decisions we don't like), holding ourselves and our communities in transformative accountability, and to just live life as authentically as you can.

there is of course the political action aspect, but you must understand that everyone is at different points of their lives. when you're in community with people, you pick up the pieces people have left behind, you pick people up when they fall behind, and you shield them from harm and retaliation by fulfilling their needs. You can read as much theory as you want--from adrienne maree brown to karl marx--but you need lived experience and community to see how these theories play out and are informed by life. you can't be an anarchist without a community of folks who are willing to love you, protect you, and keep you accountable.

at the same time, i'm not here to shame anyone. i have certain thoughts about everything and how "allies" have been pushing marginalized communities to speak up. frankly, what I will say is I will never shame anyone for how they survive in this fucked up capitalistic white supremacist world. you are suffering daily oppression from all sides, I can't blame you for not doing much to inform yourself about daily atrocities because you can barely make your rent. but if you have the capacity and are willing to want to do more, just know that you are holding endless knowledge and historical memory of these moments that the world wants us to erase from history. do not forget. donate, share information, talk with your friends, and hold your marginalized communities closer than ever, but the best thing you can do is never forget.

at the same time, this goes for everyone really, but im not intent on pushing the most marginalized voices (BIPOC but especially Black voices) to speak on every atrocity ever when they're already struggling through their own. i've seen far too many BIPOC communities and advocates online be pushed into speaking when they're not ready or when theyre genuinely protecting their BIPOC folks from MORE zionist/white supremacist hate by making sure they respect their decisions to not speak pubicly. again, I don't intend to shame anyone for doing what they can to survive, ESPECIALLY BIPOC communities. It's atrocious that even now racism is still being used to villify BIPOC voices that are speaking in drafts, still processing their grief and emotions, and for pushing BIPOC voices who aren't even okay with speaking publicly due to fear of retailiation (because thats fucking happening!) at the same time, i do think white folk need to pick up the slack as usual and just get off of BIPOC folks' backs.

i hope this helped. long story short, don't shame people for surviving under oppression, do what you can with the capacity that you have, and hold your people close. I hope that helped and im happy to expand on more.

and as always, the anarchist library is the best resource around.

#muertoresponds #just posted a few thoughts on my insta story so this has good timing #and theres reasons why on tumblr i havent spoken much #working with a group of social workers rn and palestinian classmates about creating a group #but unfortunately even i am suffering under capitalism and white supremacy as are everyone else

ooooh i want a revolution. i want the world broken apart and put back together, better this time. everything is just so wrong, at this point it would be easier to ruin and rebuild.

maybe its because of the strikes. maybe its the sudden surge of ai art in the music industry. maybe its just the music im listening to rn. but im thinking about it now and we really need to do something. we need to do more. more people should strike and more often. strikes are supposed to be disruptive, so disrupt. we as a society need to stop thinking of anything generated by ai as 'art'.

we need a revolution. these disruptions, this working as a community isnt working -- not well enough. im so proud of the writers for making a deal, but that isnt working for everyone. just look at the teachers! the nurses!

we need to throw the molotovs. remove people from seats of power they dont deserve, distribute the wealth. start taking 'eat the rich' seriously.

#LOOK. i dont want to /kill/ people as such #but i do want them to suffer if they deserve it #ok that sounds so bad lmao but you know what i mean #idk why i focused so much on strikes in this #ig im still thinking about them since the thing with the writers yesterday #but yeah. #support local small businesses #shoplift from big corporations #spit on politicians n billionaires #eat the rich #eat the fucking rich #anti capitalism #revolution #beanie thoughts

[swagging-back-to]

literally the only reason i didnt hang myself in the psych ward bathroom or put a wash cloth over the drain and drown myself or drink the ink from my sharpie markers is because i didnt want them to remove the doors for the next person and take away even more of their freedom and privacy

#i only stayed alive so the next person wouldnt suffer even more. #just because i didnt do it doesnt mean it wouldnt happen. #not sorry but trying to prevent people to kill themselves is like..dystopia behavior. #cant have a potential employee or consumer being taken off the map! capitalism would crumble!!! #it's why socialist countries usually have assisted suicide. they genuinely do not see humans as something #the government is owed. #cw suicide #tw suicide #anti psych #cw psych ward #tw psych ward #anti psychiatry

Ah. "Animals rights" bullshit okay. Being animals that are not obligate herbivores and eating the flesh of other animals because of it is "oppressing" non-human animals. And they called out my comparing it to anti-choicers because "murder is different than death" okay well anti-choicers think abortion is murder. I don't happen to consider a human killing an animal for food murder any more than I consider an animal killing another animal for food murder, especially when as you pointed out yourself some people can't survive without meat.

Or is it a contract killing/hit on every animal You've ever eaten to survive? Are you just not a murderer because you paid not to get your hands dirty?

Like yeah it's fucking NATURAL. Humans aren't some wondrous ascended beings that don't crawl through the dirt. We fuck and fight and survive and yes, part of that survival for many is KILLING.

And it's good that you don't think people should be forced onto veganism because that would be as bad as the people who want to force all animals to eat synthetic meat and hunt via robots or whatever but my gods can you imagine telling someone who has been a vegetarian by choice for years for animal WELFARE purposes (not rights) who is vegan for disability reasons that they are "justifying the oppression of animals" and "killing animals for food is murder" when you literally can't go vegan for health reasons yourself? Okay murderer. Guess your life matters more than those oppressed animals.

Like sorry I'm going full "you're an asshole and I despise you and I'm genuinely sorry for myself that I thought we could be friends".

Like yeah the anti-choicer metaphor wasn't perfect. But it also got you to cut right to the heart of the matter. You are so divorced from humans as part of the ecosystem and food chain you genuinely believe we have some moral duty to not kill animals (but only animals, not plants or fungi, which are also living and have some measure of sentience) and to hold ourselves separate from the biosphere to the greatest extent possible.

That's just ecofascism 101. Are we gonna do the "any form of hunting or land management, even responsibly by indigenous stewards using traditional practices is bad" next? Or are we gonna avoid that one because you hopefully know better than THAT and simply think that removing humans from ONLY one part of the consumptive chain is ✨different✨?

For reference:

Also where does "choosing to die" come in to this? I wasn't talking about euthanasia, I was talking about withdrawing the life support provided by a human body if the owner of that body stops consenting to providing it, therefore depriving a fetus dependent on that life support for survival of said survival. I'm pretty sure the fetus doesn't have a choice in the matter. (Whether or not it's "alive" doesn't have much to do with anything since it's been made pretty clear that medical autonomy in terms of mandated use of your body's parts or resources is unethical at ANY point. Even if you ARE killing it, we've determined that's the most ethical option.)

Also if we're going to make bullshit oppression claims why don't we talk about transspecies people who are obligate carnivores?

#literally I'm not a fucking legalist but no I don't believe murder in the sense of nonconsensual killing is always wrong #like self defense. hello. #like maybe my moral system is just built different but to call it oppression and make me out to be some kind of bigot? #come on. that's bullshit and you know it. #we're literally not talking about rights being taken away. also this is why animal welfare is such a better concept than animal rights #stop anthropomorphizing animals!! stop treating them like furry humans that can't speak!! #literally somehow both a veganism centrist and an 'animal rights' person at once #go yell at people for literally having a moral-spiritual belief system that encompasses eating animals as neutral somewhere else #oh and btw don't EVER fucking moralize any kind of food related consumption around me again that goes for everyone #meat is neutral. sugar is neutral. artificial sweeteners are neutral. preservatives are neutral. plants are neutral. fish are neutral. etc #some of these may be unhealthy for a given individual and their production under capitalism may be fucking harmful #but conceptually they are neutral and there are ways of making them physically so by changing the harmful systems #you can keep feeling bad about your oppression of poor animals or w/e. or maybe you don't feel bad idk #I happen to find that far more harmful than humans who want or need to eat meat - doing so - will ever be #thanks for the mask off moment where you decided it was actually okay to moralize food and survival #I'm so happy to say goodbye forever #(note: if you know who this is don't fucking harass them. I have them blocked and am being a bit nasty *bc* they can't see it) #(I don't want them to suffer. I just think they're a monumental asshole. gods know I'm one too.) #(let people be assholes 2k23 lol)

"pussys all of you. get some disrespect for the law in your hearts" can you pls for the love of god acknowledge the privilege of being able to publicly actively break and disrespect the law while being white. a poc could be killed for the way you act be srs

Ur so right the answer must be to blindly obey every law and everything the government says at all times forever especially if you're a poc good job you did it you solved systemic racism by sending this ask to a random white punk on tumblr 👍

[birdmenmanga]

(head in my hands) Takayama doesn't even know the BMW dealership sees his labor as cheap and replaceable

#just thinking thoughts... #i think on some level Takayama just can't wrap his head around capitalism and that's why he suffers so much under it.

I was extremely correct to bitch yesterday btw

#14 hrs today and everything i predicted came true #with the added bonus of seeing how hard corporate fucks the companies that aren't unionized #like. to the point of shooting themselves in both feet. it's bizarre. #and breaking federal labor laws in order to make less money and increase gross suffering in the world #is why capitalism is the best and most efficient system

[cuntboysupremacy]

I'm gonna be honest I really do think the rising misandry truther-ing that's been going around for the last several years in progressive spaces is due to a lack of even the most basic class analysis. liberalism run amok.

#literally all the misandry problems are just being working class under capitalism #theres also the misogyny ofc but yeah i really think we need some class analysis bc ppl really seem to think if you say male privilege #is real then youre saying men dont suffer but like no #most men do suffer #theyre just not suffering from fucking misandry theyre suffering bc theyre exploited #liberal analysis cant answer why bc it doesnt have a conherent class framework #anyways just rambling around here its 2am maybe ill think more on this and decide it was dumb and delete it

Anyway anyone who is a shareholder who up and decides one day that “actually me and my other investor buddies want our money back” which causes the shutdown of an entire company and upending of a thousand+ lives because… they decided the company did capitalism bad??? Or maybe it was just a bit too cold out that day?? Look. I don’t believe in hell, but I hope someone’s making one for them to burn in for eternity.

#basically the gist of why Vroom shut down is even though the company was doing objectively well #the shareholders just decided we didn’t have enough capital and wanted their money back #and this decision was made ON FRIDAY. and they announced the shutdown on MONDAY. #max says things #tori says things #tori suffers under capitalism
