Zelenskyy says Ukraine will nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, if he delivers Tomahawk missiles and helps secure a ceasefire. The missiles, with 1,500 km range, would let Ukraine hit deep into Russia. Trump says he’s “sort of” decided, but wants clarity on how they'd be used.
The non-profit I work for gave all non-union employees, including C-suite, a 3% raise but they said they only have enough money to give union members a 1% raise lol.
I like when people bring up bad details about individual anarchists to discredit the idea of Anarchism. Buddy, I promise I know way worse things about way more anarchists, most of whom you've never even heard of, and it doesn't change my opinion of Anarchism. Why would it?
I would like it if people would stop pretending Trump's administration is omnipotent and invincible. These people are deeply unpopular, incompetent dipshits. Just because at the institutional level people aren't able or willing to do anything doesn't mean nothing can be done. That's silly.
I first saw reference to Johnson in Notehelfer's biography of Kōtoku and I thought it was odd there was so little information about him. Happy for the Josephine Henry piece.
The new bit of information to me, though, is from this Josephine K. Henry article Zimmer cites. She wrote this profile of Johnson for the Blue-Grass Blade in 1908, an atheist periodical published out of Kentucky.
And here a couple passages from A Critical History of Socialist Thought In Japan To 1918 by John Derek Crump with some additional interesting information about Johnson.
On and off for the past couple years I've been looking into this guy who was influential in converting Kōtoku Shūsui (born Kōtoku Denjirō) to Anarchism, and I finally found more information thanks to a citation I had previously overlooked in Kenyon Zimmer's Immigrants Against the State.
People whine about infighting, but anarchists used to constantly fight in periodicals. Severino Di Giovanni (likely) went so far as to assassinate Emilio Lopez Arango because he edited "La Protesta", one of the anarchist papers which frequently criticized Di Giovanni's bombings.
The issue isn't that they don't "understand how outside ideologies describe the world and how power operates within it", they simply disagree with those assessments. Not sure why that would be surprising.
So someone corrects you on the use of a word because it poorly describes the current administration, and this is somehow proof that anarchists don't read?
