more accurate to say that in the face of vaccine inequality it'll have to do

not invested in whatever debate spawned this post but heterosexuality isn't just an orientation or an identity, its an institution of patriarchal social reproduction in the first place. correct that its not the cause of patriarchy because patriarchy predates it but its part and parcel of how patriarchy is lived in the modern age

do not do this its terrible

well exactly.

to the degree that it's a socialist country. socialism means a lot of things to a lot of people and not all of those meanings are incompatible with capitalism or even feudalism.

spinach leaf. maggie can go fuck herself, prelasparian feudalist fuckhead. i'm cancelling this frog

When you won last year’s L’Oréal-UNESCO Prize for Women in Science

not to disparage this woman or her research but the WHAT

it's traditional

ngl i quite like this band but i always thought this version of the song kinda sucked

i guess i don't necessarily regret reading academic theory because it's bad -- tho i'm not saying its good either -- but because i tried to grapple with it before i was really equipped to understand the conversations & debates this stuff is all written in response to, which led to a lot of embarassing confusions & misunderstandings on my part. when really just reading marx and other communist stuff would have been a better use of my time at that fertile stage

academic marxism is... not great, on the whole, i will grant you that. aside from that i'd say foucault has his place. no time for derrida or deleuze tho

e.g. i spent a long time believing marxist dialectics were phallogocentric/latently sexist because of luce irigaray

well savitri's only called a deep ecologist in retrospect because her views on animal rights and environmentalism overlap so much with what "deep ecology" means now. little bit ahistorical on my part soz

wouldn't say it's necessarily ecofash but it probably matters that there were actual ex-nazis among its earliest proponents, without even getting into the likes of linkola and foreman. but the misanthropy, eugenics, malthusianism, racism -- i mean that sounds like most people's description of eco-fascism, but that's just as easily lib shit half the time. anyway here's a critique from an actual anprim, ironically hitting on a lot of stuff people ding anprims for nowadays. quite frankly i have always found the fact this essay exists hilarious, though i wish he went harder on them for the malthusianism

stealing your vocab from leninists is bad enough but when it amounts to a kind of gradualist, reformist version of platformism then that's even worse that just being a leninist

this includes tiqqun. that's just more immediatist, insurrectionary dual power anarchism

i hate dual power anarchists so much

not enough for it to matter. too many countries depend on israel strategically in the middle east. i see this more as an attempt to save face

i don't want to make this about me and the last thing we need right now is anti-zionist jews continuing to centre themselves at the expense of palestinians but: i wavered on this shit for a long time, far longer than should be remotely excusable, and part of the reason was the constant arm-twisting from even my "anti-zionist" friends and family members pressuring me not do a "blood libel" by seeing the colonisation of palestine for what it is. for years i resorted to calling it "ethnic cleansing" exclusively because that was the furthest i could go without being accused of internalised antisemitism, and i wasn't confident enough in my own convictions to face that. i know that's a first world problem, and don't get me wrong, i don't bring this up to earn pity points or monologue about my "experiences as an ally" because i'd never show my face in public if i ever caught myself doing that, but i want to point out that even people who claim to support palestinians, even sincerely, can turn around and minimise the consequences of the israeli state project

like i know nobody here would expect better from mark ruffalo but this shit makes me miserable because seeing big names like him calling might at least, and i do mean at least, be taken as a sign that the acceptable discourse on palestine was moving in the right direction. but no, i guess not

zerzan breaks my heart sometimes, i think he's an idiot but he has such faith in human beings :(

sometimes i think about how the human race will probably go extinct sometime early next century
