I posted this article and cartoon because I thought they might be of interest to some readers/viewers. The fact that I post something here does not mean I agree with it and does not mandate that I defend the author or its content.

I'm not sure "what any of that has to do with promoting a fascist that harasses mass shooting victims for profit " either...

I did not join this forum to promote a narrow agenda that might require I limit myself to postings only of articles whose content or authors whose point of view I agree with entirely. My purpose here is to learn from fellow activists, to offer up what I have learned over 50 years of activism, and to share information I believe might be of interest or benefit to others.

In my experience I have encountered as many "Far Right Libertarians" as I have "Far Left Anarchists", with many on both sides dissing the other despite their common anti-government stance. To me, as the poem I quoted earlier asserts, this is just more proof of the fallacy/falsity of the overall Left/Right political paradigm, because in this context at least there is a point at which Far Left and Far Right do indeed intersect.

Like I said, to each their own. As "they" say, there is no accounting for taste.

A quote from the poem "Labels":
Far "Left" we place the Anarchists, Libertarians claim far "Right";
Yet both decry the government: False continuum brought to light.

Perhaps the humor is more distinct in this one:

If not, well, to each their own I guess.

This is humor (at least I see it as such).

The simpler the language used, the easier it is for people to understand.
I'm good with the "HAVEs vs HAVENOTs" paradigm.
But thanks for your feedback.

"Everything" cannot be important - at least not at the same time. To "win", one must prioritize then pick their battles. Choosing battles around which the broadest alliances can be formed increases the chance for success. Myopic focus on objectives that benefit relatively few while ignoring or alienating many plays right into the hands of the HAVEs, who work hard to keep the HAVENOTs focused on our differences rather than our similarities, thereby minimizing the likelihood that we will ever unite (at least long enough) to overcome our common oppressors.

Wrong... Apparently you don't have access to my online profile, as reading it would have precluded your question. Hope this helps you:
"Post-Left eco-anarchist, agorist, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-zionist, climate change realist, pro Palestine/Gaza/Zapatista - believer that social wedge issues like race/religion/gender are exploited by Haves to keep HaveNots divided rather than uniting to oppose their common oppressors."
