core punk or punk core… Idk, I don’t listen to music that much

Most humanizing treatment of autistic children by society at large.

Vincent Bevins wrote a book on protests movements. I recommend reading it: “If we burn”. Weirdly pro-HK protests perspective, but salvageable. The internet gave the US a lot of tools to brainfry people by amplyfing the right protests and messages within large protests, along with the western media empires in general, and especially horizontalist movements suffer from it pretty badly, being not able to out-maneuver ngos or having no idea how to wield power, so that the systemic inertia of western imperialism made a lot of things skew towards western interests without any active subjective input.

very long article from kites I thought was too dogmatic on neoliberal id-pol

The Institute for Social Research, colloquially known as the “Frankfurt School,” originally emerged as a Marxian research center at the University of Frankfurt that was bankrolled by a wealthy capitalist. When Max Horkheimer took over the directorship of the Institute in 1930, he oversaw a decisive shift toward speculative and cultural concerns that were increasingly distant from historical materialism and class struggle.

In this regard, the Frankfurt School under Horkheimer played a foundational role in the establishment of what is known as Western Marxism, and more specifically Cultural Marxism.

We should note, moreover, that wokeism also has the effect of driving some people into the arms of the right. If the dominant political culture encourages a clan mentality combined with competitive individualism, then it is unsurprising that white people and men have also—as a partial response to their perceived disenfranchisement by the diversity industry—advanced their particular agendas as “victims” of the system. Identity politics devoid of a class analysis is thus absolutely amenable to right-wing and even fascist permutations.

Both Rockwell and Kites are usually a bit better than this. And I don’t think it’s completely unsalvageable. I just don’t think picking up right-wing dog whistles helps to convince anybody and in fact is actively courting chauvinist sentiment. I’d have to dig a bit for Kites Article that was like that. I don’t think their criticisms of neoliberal is entirely off, just dogmatic.

yea

They don’t talk about them. That is why I am not extremely enthusiastic about them yet. One of the kites journal head guys rants a lot about post-modernism and identity politics, in the same way Rockwell, who has been posted on Hexbear a few times, does. I think that a reckoning with the intellectual tradition of some French intellectuals is necessary, especially their CIA ties. I am sceptical because that usually turns into anti-trans chauvinism. I think they have not done their discussions on that topic yet.

I have been reading Kites Journal for a bit, I think they have decent takes in general, but they are going about this party business too fast. Way too fast imo. Hopefully they can keep out opportunism and feds. They are more pro Gonzalo than most users of this forum would stomach (they don’t immediately denounce him as a “cringe ultra”), but they don’t worship him feverish-ly (if people think this is what “gonzaloites” do) EDIT: I guess that makes me on of the “sceptics” they dismiss, but I would also admit that I don’t feel ready to join a party yet, ability-wise

lmao at those suffering from baby murdering withdrawal and saying “what do you want Israel to do? Bomb the hospital instead? Surrender?” Yea, surrendering might be a start lol

I am sorry, but this is far too pedestrian for my tastes. I can only enjoy YTPs based on Link: The faces of evil and Skibidi toilet

And, as the governor continues to bus migrants to Democratic cities and states, pressure is mounting on Mr Biden to take drastic action to stem the flow of arrivals.

It’s humans, not a fucking catastrophe

I am aware of all these things, that is why I am laughing at them trying to kick him out for his mild criticism and basic ability to recognize the apartheid regime as an apartheid regime. They are eating their own

yes, yes! Purge all your intelligentsia for being able to call a spade a spade

Grateful that being a spiteful lil boy usually comes with 0 charisma

People be like “free Palestine” and then back seat any and all attempts to get a free Palestine

Everybody kinda expected that was going down, but most were too lazy to put together the pieces. There were definitely enough statements out there for those willing to see. The plans for expatrition are very transparently taking notes from other right-wing governments.

It’s also not like the governing parties and the CDU are not half-way there already, with criminalization, fearmongering and skirting the limits of bourgeois law to take away the last human rights to asylum they otherwise blabber about. “deportation offensive” was literally a term used by Scholz. Spahn, the little worm, talks about deportations to Rwanda, UK style. Greens defend breaching church doors with chainsaws to drag out panicking refugees. Everybody in these parties celebrated the Common European Asylum System, which tears families apart, puts people in camps, allows for rushed processes (an excuse to dismiss more claims), also, people are getting deported into Afghanistan. I could go on, but you get the idea.

there is a meme about “afab only” everything where trans women are kept out of “women only” spaces bc of anti-trans phrenology that borders on TERF rhetoric and makes trans women out to be deceitful predators (along with performatively pro-queer things to spice it up).

hah, just in time to claim the fishnets
