@raccoon This is not the answer you want, I know, but in his autobiography, #FrederickDouglass used the term "master", despite being a dedicated abolitionist. I'm not sure there's a better word that would have been used historically.

#oppression #slavery

I think something we need to periodically remind ourselves of, as activists for #anarchism, #democracy, #CivilRights, #AntiCapitalist, #Libertarian, and otherwise #AntiAuthoritarian ideas is that we all share the single most important difference with the #NeoNazi movement: we are all against #oppression, #dictatorship, #Authoritarianism, and #genocide.

While we have our disagreements, that alone should be enough for #solidarity against the looming threat: when #Fascism wins, EVERYONE loses.

Basic / Les wokes: ce mur qui casse l’ego des #bourgeois

Simple / Leur dire que la #méritocratie n’existe pas: leur monde et la justification de leur place dominante dans la société s’effondrent.

Détails / Parce que admettre que leur réussite n’est pas due à leur simple volonté et responsabilité, mais plutôt par l’#oppression d’autrui à laquelle eux-mêmes participent et acceptent. Ils sont contre changer l’ordre social puisque ils y sont confortablement installés.

It certainly seems as though these moral #crusaders want to expunge these #books from #libraries not because they are #pornographic in nature, but because these books threaten some of their fundamental #beliefs, such as the belief that #white, #cisgender, #JudeoChristian lives are somehow more important, and more central to the #American experience, than other lives.

"constant fighting with our own sense of identity causes further psychological distress...

"Instead of asking “what’s wrong w/ me?” We need to shift discourse over to “what happened to me?”. It’s vital that psychological distress be placed in the context of one’s environment&
experiences of the complex power dynamics within them."

You need to

I JUST realized what was bothering me.
MANY OF YOU DON'T WANT TO RELINQUISH THE PRIVILEGES OF THE OPPRESSOR OVER OTHER AUTISTIC PEOPLE.
BUT YOU FEEL ENTITLED TO CLAIM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MARGINALIZATION
WHILE STILL MAINTAINING THAT PRIVILEGE TO WRITE US OUT OF THE NARRATIVE.

WE CAN'T BE A COMMUNITY UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO STOP MARGINALIZING PEOPLE TO THE EDGES OF THAT IDENTITY

#ApartheidIsrael was already one of the most prolific engines for the global military, permanent war, surveillance & death industry …. and then this:

“#Amazon and #Google: partners in Israeli Apartheid”

via Jonathan K Cook in @intifada (#ElectronicIntifada)

“Getting either Amazon or Google to honor their public commitments to ethical behavior by withdrawing from Project #Nimbus may prove much harder – and not only because of the contractual obligations Israel has insisted on.

#Israel has become too integral to the global #surveillance and war industries for any tech giant to risk antagonizing it. With profits galore to be derived from closer collaboration with the military industrial complex, the pressure will be on to forge closer bonds with Israel, whatever its human rights record.

And with the #IsraelLobby
deeply ensconced in Western capitals, the tech corporations will not wish to risk the reputational damage of being tarred as anti-Semitic for boycotting Israel.

Pressure may be mounting on many companies to distance themselves from Israel over its occupation and apartheid policies. But for Amazon and Google it is those very practices of occupation and #Apartheid that are a tech seam waiting to be mined.”

This is utterly unconscionable! #Amazon is helping #Israel to strengthen its #Apartheid “boot” on #Palestinian necks with its #AI technologies! Those deadly technologies will be tried & tested on Palestinians & then sold to tyrants elsewhere to oppress their populations!

“Amazon Is Investing in AI-Assisted Apartheid in #Palestine: Since 2014, Amazon has been pouring billions into Israel, contributing to illegal settlement programs and the relentless #surveillance of #Palestinians. Israel’s dystopian end goal: to compile #biometric profiles and security ratings for every resident of the #WestBank.”

Got up to speed with Naomi Wu @SexyCyborg having basically silenced by the fascist Chinese state.
It's beyond me how, on this day and age, we tolerate people simply announce their forced departure from the public view because of some homophobic, racist, totalitarian regressive nonsense.

Having your "wings clipped" for state's greater plan BS.
That or choose exile.

Between scientists thinking they are oppressed by christians and christians thinking they are oppressed by scientists, I just got no time for this useless country. Both groups so loud to make such claims make much more money than I. Individuals that are so loud likely have not spent the last 25 years disabled, as I have. They can both have this country, let them duke it out. I want no part of it. I loathe this country. So much.

Would quote more, but word limit.
“#whiteness gives us access to everything but oppression. That’s the only thing we can’t colonize. So, what do we do? We turn #oppression into social currency.” They comment on the obsession w/ “uniqueness” the internet has; white people get “extra points” for belonging to identities that are #marginalized like queer, trans, #neurodivergent. A lot of white folks are blind to their white #privilege"

#EnvironmentalTerrorism: The data not only shows yet another example of #racist and often #deadlypolicing in Los Angeles, Kite said; it reveals a pointed example of how #racistpolicing furthers #climate and #environmentalinjustice in America. “They might seem separate, but they are all tied together because of the way that #oppression and root #harm works,” she said.

Quelques mots à propos de l'anarchisme - Gustav Landauer

Quand un quotidien allemand demande à un anarchiste de décrire les aspirations de son "parti" à l'aube du 20ème siècle...

"D’ailleurs, nous entendons dès aujourd’hui nous séparer de tout ce qui nous répugne, nous révolter contre tout ce qui nous opprime et nous comprime, nous emparer de tout ce dont nous avons besoin et de tout ce que nous voulons."

New undercover footage reveals pigs being driven mad by boredom and stress. Pregnant pigs are confined to filthy, cramped gestation crates, barely larger than a pig's body, so small the animals can't lie down comfortably or turn around.
