People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

One more thing before I get back to grading: social justice movements without the threat of violence, or the recognition of violence as a tool, are a relatively modern invention and one peddled by the interests of power to maintain powerlessness.

We now call on all trade unions globally to follow LO Norway’s example and endorse the BDS call to end the shameful complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation, settler-colonial apartheid and genocide. This is a legal not just ethical obligation.

I am never, ever mad when someone tries to explain the luddites to me, telling me actually, they weren't anti-technology and so on, I love it, it means the actual understanding is out there and spreading organically and we are all the better to challenge the ways capital wields tech against workers

Israel has seized 2,400+ acres of Palestinian land in the West Bank through force and violence.
“Little by little, we became unable to reach this area, which was also inhabited by dozens of Bedouin families, but the settlers expelled them from it.”

I alluded to this in the article, but one thing I'm thinking of doing is creating a regular litcrit guest column for Trans of Color critics to write about self-published books by TWOC.
Ideally would shoot to commission for ~$100 per column, preferring to pub critics without mainstream recognition.

It is very distressing that many people like to fantasize about mass uprisings without thinking at all about mass mobilization.
