New account theme that’s been a while coming. At Gettysburg the 1st Minnesota charged to their deaths to buy the Union 5 minutes because it had to be done and they were the only ones who could. if we can find a tiny fraction of that courage in ourselves we win
Well comprehensive criminal justice reform hasn’t been attempted in the U.S. partially because you guys poisoned the well by setting up an autonomous zone where a black teenager was almost immediately murdered, so I think reform is worth trying before we go with societal collapse

I mean if it does he’ll still be better than cornyn or Paxton, but also I think hes taken enough corageous stances on other issues that he’s earned credibility there

Also I think ‘more border security’ still leaves the door open for plenty of good policy eg pathway to citizenship

Some randos in the Michigan suburbs wanting to be tough on the border is the result of a media environment- less so for rgv Latinos, that’s been part of their politics for a long time to the point where Cesar chavez wanted a tougher border policy
February 4, 2026 at 6:55 PM
I do have to say there are ways to try to influence the environment but I think that in the context of a texas senate race not doing that on the specific issue of the border probably makes sense
February 4, 2026 at 6:54 PM
Yes I have, I have pointed to the possibility of criminal justice reform as has happened in the U.S. before and in other countries. If your concerns extend to preferring tearing down the entire system and risking societal collapse over reform, not much I can do about that
February 4, 2026 at 6:46 PM
well no because to give those reasons you need to counter the concerns people would have with your system, and the only anarchist response to those concerns is ‘nuh-uh’

If you want people to not be smug towards your ideology you should choose a more serious position to argue for
February 4, 2026 at 6:36 PM
Living in a society that isn’t based around blood feuds and constant revenge killings, and where the possibility of reform exists as has happened in the past and in other countries

You do in fact have to go beyond criticizing the current system at some point
February 4, 2026 at 6:07 PM
Yeah that’s a way better solution than yours

Vance is the farce to Nixon’s tragedy- Nixon if he was stripped of all his genuine brilliance and all his desire to do some form of good and left with absolutely nothing but hate and resentment

And on the male side so are ossoff and moore

Who I believe will also stop being his social media team after he stops being Governor of California in 2027

I think it was pretty clear it was going to go this way, if you’re going to go negative in a primary you have to be very careful about it (eg flanagan bringing up Craig’s Laken Riley vote in mn was well handled) not treat it like a tumblr callout
February 4, 2026 at 4:00 PM
Well I think that the attention he brings is inherently useful yes, in contrast to the anarchists who by their own admission do not care about winning a political struggle. As far as his annoying he is is have to work alongsjde him personally to judge that
February 4, 2026 at 3:56 PM
I think if the people who wanted to set trash fires stayed home that would be a lot more useful
February 4, 2026 at 3:45 PM
i mean every proposal ive seen wrt this current potential shutdown means just banning masks for ice officers, i would be against a general ban on masks but i dont think anyones saying that
February 4, 2026 at 7:27 AM
wait so is the objection that if we ban masks for ice immunocompromised people will be disproportionately unable to join ice

democracy was imposed on the south through the military power of the state; when that power was withdrawn white supremacists used political violence to impose an illiberal oligarchy. ultimately the state came back in and imposed democracy again. that's a better track record than makhno had
February 4, 2026 at 6:09 AM
sounds like an ideology based around community defense is a bad idea then
February 4, 2026 at 6:06 AM
so you agree? community defense is not a workable solution in the face of the overwhelming power of the state and you should instead use the power of the state to enforce your own desired political ends?
February 4, 2026 at 5:59 AM
i mean jesus fucking christ im having a discussion elsewhere about the best way to win alaska why the fuck am i arguing with an anarchist about anything
February 4, 2026 at 5:57 AM
i guess if begich wins the governors race then we can start thinking about peltola as a vp in 2028
February 4, 2026 at 5:56 AM
if this truly is the end of american democracy im pretty comfortable comparing our record to uuuh the towering achievements of the paris commune
February 4, 2026 at 5:55 AM
ive had reasonable discussions on this topic with marxist-leninists before because they engage with the real world and with solutions that might be necessary to solve problems, you guys dont so i feel no need to engage with any criticisms you have of liberal democracy
February 4, 2026 at 5:54 AM
it would be better if absolutely nothing changed about the current system than if we tried your system because it's stupid and evil, and so improving the current system as it has been gradually improved over decades is indeed a better solution than the emmett till method
