I'm an anarchist writer who likes to blow off steam by using twitter to dunk on every school of everything. I identify with Voltairine de Cleyre's "steal bread for the hungry" market anarchism. Here's a short thread of major subjects I've written essays on and that I return to:

Maddy worked hard to join a wonky political elite, all on the premise that they were the smartest people in the country and the only ones who mattered. It offends him at a deep spiritual level that the radical rabble keep being right about Iraq, fascism, Palestine, etc.

The idea that the facts have changed in some significant way is going to be the new line of pundits who have spent years defending genocide: x.com/mattyglesias/s…

Give them a parent of the year award already!

This is what Solzhenitsyn was talking about: libcom.org/article/open-l… It's a bizarre irony that Davis became an icon of prison abolition when she wouldn't even speak up for the release of some political prisoners.

The romans were fastidious record keepers which is why we know how genocidal they actually were

Cato the Elder and Scipio gave the speeches themselves calling for genocide. They literally said that their plantation slaves could never find out how good the commoners of Carthage had it and that's why it had to burn

Also, I love how "atheists assume all religions are like Christianity" has officially evolved into "atheists assume all Christian sects are Protestant" and it's somehow managed to be even more of a bullshit criticism.

The audacity to say this when the Soviet Union was instrumental in the founding of Israel because they thought it would be a Marxist-Leninist state they could use an imperial arm in the region

We did this to him. This government. This country. We condemned him to this torture because he dared to follow our own laws and seek refuge here. Utterly sick.

Authoritarian leftists will seriously take one look at a society that looks like this and think, "see, you only hate it for its freedom"

Intellectual property laws are a crime against humanity and any action taken to undermine them is justified

Andor made all the correct people angry and I think that’s beautiful
