i am an ex-racist

[does something racist and gets called out for it]

well its not racist because i'm woke now. in fact, all the people mad at me are the real racists for being mad

the two genders

- tail under skirt
- tail over skirt

R: one thing right-wing people used to say a lot back home was, "if you like socialism so much why don't you invite the homeless into your house then". I bet they feel real clever at this thoughtful criticism too.

I knew forest sit-ins tend to be open and welcoming, but one thing I really enjoyed from these comrades is that they got around a spirit-talker. You know, what the medical model would call "schizophrenia" or "crazy homeless people who talk to 'no one' nonstop". This guy would just come along and sit around the table talking his thing. Some people who talk like this have their own sense of coherence, but this friend talked things I could follow, as far as my German allowed. You could engage in and out his endless conversation, and he'd have communal food and cigarettes along with everybody else, eventually leave, return the next day.

This is prefiguration, yo. This is what so-called crazy people will be treated in the time of the dawn. This is how you invite homeless people into your house, along with everybody else. When the concept of houses isn't about a thing meant just for us. When "for us" is nothing.

I was almost leaving when friend said he wanted some tea, and I explained our friends were still making the fire and we had to wait a bit but soon we could boil water for a nice warm tea. It's the first time that he notices my German isn't quite fluent (it's very not fluent). He asks where I'm from, I say Brazil, he opens his eyes a bit. "Unglaublich", he says, in the same low intonation as always. "No way." (continued)

What a mood

"A Critical Analysis of the NICE Evidence review of puberty blockers for children and adolescents with gender dysphoria"

Or, how to ensure the politically correct answer: exclude studies which might lead to the undesired conclusion.

The bar for cishet men is so fucking low it's amazing they can still slip under it like it's a game of lethal limbo

Museums are finding it nearly impossible to post imagery containing artistic nudity on social media because their posts keep getting deleted and accounts suspended or banned, so Vienna's museums opened a page on OnlyFans.

TikTok closed the Alberta museum account for showing an obscured woman's breast.

Facebook ruled the 25,000 year old Venus of Willendorf figurine as pornographic and removed the post.

1. racialisation, anti-semitism and ableism are obviously cornerstones of fascism.

2. patriarchy is an often underappreciated foundation (see Ewa Majewska for discussion). Therefore modern fascist's demonisation of "gender ideology".

3. it follows that queer feminism is antifascist. (and terfism is a fascist impulse, but we all knew that even before Butler elaborated on it.)

4. the common strand of fascism is a drive to uniformity and stability, eventually an eternal immutable homogenous state; i.e. it's a death cult.

5. the death cult in traditional masculinity has a familiar form: 'witness me', glorious death in battle, self+sacrifice thru labour etc. Majewska notes that traditional feminity is also suicidal heroism; woman as childbearer has to supress every pulsation of life and desire, lives in a state of constant self anihilation.

6. life is by nature kaleidoscopically multiplying ungovernable eternal change. Life *is* diversity. Life is knobs, spectra, and chaos-theoretical unpredictable complexity; it is not toggles, binaries, blueprints.

7. the State is not, as Marx eurocentrically held, an inevitable consequence of agriculture or technology. the base does not determine the superstructure; decolonial anthropology shows this in basically every case. history is rich with the refusal of States well after the invention of these (see "Worshipping Power", Gelderlos), and indeed still now.

8. The State has the same goals as fascism.

9. Known States expanded by force, via imposition of religion. As in Gelderlos' title, Statism is literally the worship of power, the ideological commitment to submission as a net good.

10. Capitalism is a late stage of statism which secularises the divine right to ownership of the means by a particularly clever ideological trick; rather than deserving to be owners because they're appointed by gods, or descended from gods, the capitalist deserves to own because he owns; his ownership is advanced as proof of worth (industriousness, genius, inventiveness etc.). This Ourobouros reasoning is what makes capitalism such an unvaccinable virus.

11. Capitalism has however a weakness. In shedding the numinous to become a chameleon, it is fundamentally unsatisfying. You can sincerely have faith and extract meaning from serving Amon-Ra or Britannia, but nobody finds meaning in serving Bezos.

12. Fascism supplies this missing meaning to life richly, by worshipping death. It is one endstate of the State after capitalism.

13. Anything that supplies meaning through life rather than death will open a path towards a different endstate. Diversity, joy, queerness in the purest sense of the ripping of labels, the manufacture of new labels, the creative individual freedom of spontaneus chaos—there's a reason States/fascism call this "corruption"," dissipation", "decadence"; they *are*; they directly erode the project of control/eternality/death.

Put more concretely, if you make kinky porn and that kinky porn helps a fascist's daughter find out she's lesbian, you have won over death in life. This is an antifascist action.

14. Carework is marginalised by States (capitalism, fascism) for a reason. As a cohesion element of horizontal ungovernable bonds, mutual care is the glue of non-State socities, and something States deliberately have to erode to expand over free folk (e.g. by coöpting local identities and hierarchising them). The State _needs_ people to not depend on one another (debt in the gift economy forms bonds; when State money is imposed by force, it creates a culture of debt as a bad thing, except the indebtedness to the State (taxes, rent, royalties etc.) which is eternal and never quittable. (Graeber's "Debt")

It follows that carework is, in the most literal and concrete sense, antifascist action (Rituals of brutalisation in fascist socities are the converse of this. Brutalisation creates fascists, care and love creates antifascists).

15. Queer love is mutual carework.

every fucking thing i read convinces me that the black panthers were right about everything
