Bloody red sun of fantastic LA

I don’t think so, the person they interview supports this behavior

How have you used this in your own work?

The Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army was the idea of combining civil disobedience and actual clowning skills. We were able to sometimes be in between the protests and the police creating a sort of clowny cushion. But also we were quite mediagenic, and we attracted a lot of media attention, to then make points about the issues.

The Clown Army showed me that you can achieve something I like to call “the irresistible image.” That is simply an image that expresses the point you are trying to make. It’s not just an abstract idea, but you’ve created an image through your street action that is so strange or surprising that even your ideological opponents will reproduce the image, and therefore they’re helping you tell your story. It applies to Portland today as well, with the frogs.

In addition to that reference, I bet this is a pandemic era joke about public health guidance

I think there’s also a bit of rationality behind that system, because

a) Trolls will just lie and declare an article says something it doesn’t to “win” an argument or waste people’s time making them read their bullshit article (usually something hosted on a website you don’t want to give traffic to)

b) Some people on those forums might have tightly constrained time-frames for looking at things because they’re students or they’re working in a restaurant or retail shop or some other kind of closely managed service job where they can get yelled at by a supervisor for using their phone

c) There’s a lot of content to get to on the internet

So, I think it’s kind of a dick move to get mad at other people for not reading the article, and it’s definitely a dick move to do that if you don’t take the time to quote the specific part of the article they’re claiming contradicts someone else

I mean, if hell was real I could totally imagine one of our billionaires trying to open up a portal to it for cheap labor like it was Doom or something

I came here to say both of those things about the Internet Archive, but I also hope both of those orgs get tons of donations regularly because I wouldn’t want to live in a world without them

I’ll believe it when they arrest and jail one of them

Ah yeah, that would make a lot more sense

Given that I can think of at least three white guys names James off the top of my head that’s a really stupid way to avoid confusion, and I feel like someone would only miss how stupid that was if they had a weird obsession with their own skin color, so it’s actually two red flags

This is a VERY Eurocentric perspective

Oh bullshit, there are and have been American anarchists and socialists who have worked with and sometimes worked against American liberals going back to at least the early 20th century. Like, just to grab the most obvious example, Frances Perkins was a member of the freakin Socialist Party of America for years before she joined FDRs cabinet as labor secretary and did a bunch of the New Deal stuff liberals pat themselves on the back for now.

No, “liberals” “in the USA” = everyone on the left in America, which is wrong and bad because it ignores all of the anti-capitalist people and silences them by labeling them with an explicitly pro-capitalist Ideology. The left is (at the very least) liberals and socialists and some kinds of anarchists, there is a lot they have in common they can work on but calling them all “liberals” distorts reality in a consequential way.

e; Scpelling is hard sometimes

“the American colloquial definition” is the American colloquial term for propaganda

Did this get passed though?

Exactly, it’s not like wealth inequality just suddenly started being a problem in the last four years, the fact that he tried to campaign for reelection on this after doing jackshit about it over his first term just underscores how stupid all of his consultants must have thought we were

Survival in a world that wants us dead is a revolutionary act and every day is another chance for you to make a new crack in their systems of oppression

transgender and antifascist ideology

transgender … ideology

[Squidward voice, but angrier] NO, PATRICK, TRANSGENDER IS NOT AN IDEOLOGY… PREGNANT IS NOT AN IDEOLOGY EITHER.

Seriously, Bill Clinton was a pro death penalty anti welfare evil fucking shithead who helped corps take over the internet. Even if he wasn’t a pedophile coddling shit stain who raped his interns he would be utter fucking scum.
