if you are a socialist seeing all of these uprisings, and you are using this as an opportunity to condescend about organization, or complaining about rioting and disorder, then you are objectively just a counter-revolutionary. you are an active, conservative force.

“Adornonians” and Hegelian Marxists are out in force foreclosing on all avenues of resistance and living otherwise, because they’re fundamentally invested in an academic racket first and foremost.

it's been a week since Trump began targeting Ilhan Omar and, unlike the raid on Bolton last year which saw condemnations from NYT, WaPo, WSJ on Day 1, theres been zero editorials in these outlets condemning it. It also went totally unmentioned on all four Sunday shows yesterday.
When Trump raided John Bolton last year it was met w/ immediate outrage in the opinion pages of NYT, WSJ, WaPo, Atlantic & New Yorker. Since Rep Omar was raided Mon––and subsquently threatened w/ deportation––these same outlets have been silent. I wrote about this double standard

most are. US gun culture is at its core directed at the defense of the state, not its dissolution. they favor the existence of an American state, though they occasionally disfavor the people that govern it. but the state itself is non-negotiable.
Replying to @probablykaffe
Not all gun owners are pro state LMAO. Not even true at all.

from whether cops, white nationalists, or even intra-nation conflict, it is rational for Black people to carry arms even if "illegal" according to the reformers and pro-state gun owners xitter.cf/probablykaffe/status/1…
On a discussion of the so-called "New Jim Crow", these words stick out as something we really have to be on top of and force this perspective down our sympathizers throats

hence pigs shooting a fleeing teen and claiming he had a gun as defense xitter.cf/Thefactsdude/status/21…
NEW: Detroit cop yells “I’m ’bout to shoot you” then shoots fleeing teen in the back sparking city wide protests On June 22, hours before the Ford Fireworks, Alonzo Lee-Perkins, 18, fled on foot after officers approached him downtown. Body camera footage shows Officer David Gonzalez chasing him while repeatedly shouting, “I’m ’bout to shoot you, b–ch,” before firing four times and striking him in the back. Lee-Perkins survived. Lee -Perkins faces charges of carrying a concealed weapon, felony firearm, and resisting an officer. His attorney called the shooting the most egregious in recent memory and demanded Gonzalez be stripped of his badge. The shooting sparked protests outside DPD’s 3rd Precinct with banners reading “Justice for Alonzo! Drop the charges!”

hence the situation of Othal "Ozone" Wallace who is a political prisoner in Red Florida for defending himself and killing the cop who was supposed to put an end to the contradiction by slaying Ozone xitter.cf/probablykaffe/status/1…

this is why having a gun while Black is a deadly contradiction, and proof that we are not true citizens of the US. for it is our potential possession that gives casus belli to our murders xitter.cf/probablykaffe/status/1…
the contradiction of being a black person (bp) with a gun: it's a de jure right police can claim self defense since a bp *might have been armed* bp *could* defend themselves if armed, saving their own life bp *likely* won't beat that charge, becoming a prisoner

so that is, overall, the notion of guns to defeat "tyranny" is a white nationalist dog whistle that was canonized by the modern Republican party during the so-called "party switch" era as a counter to the reformers while also gleefully implementing Black people can't have gun law

the "abstract freedom of gun ownership" myth is recent in historical terms, originating in the 60s and 70s amongst white nationalist groups who were being disarmed and imprisoned as to not encourage more Black people to take up arms in self defense

the pro-state gun owners even ally with the reformers to disarm Black people, hence:

"americans have guns why don't they use them against the government" fundamentally misunderstands US society 1. gun owners are pro-state 2. the reformers disarm themselves to encourage Black people to disarm 3. the reformers ask to control the pro-state gun owners, who refuse

Americans really need to start having less of a “2020 didn’t work” approach and more of a “the work of 2020 is not yet completed” one. we learned a lot then, we can do it again.

I feel like people in the US did protest like in France in 2020 and both major parties united behing the cops and sometimes also national guard beating the shit out of a ton of people and giving the cops even more money afterward
people in the US don’t protest like they do in France because the propaganda in the US is so strong that people internalize their failures instead of correctly seeing it as a product of a immoral, capitalist system

I’ve had a large number of people in the DC organizing space come forward and tell me to warn marginalized genders in the DC organizing scenes about Ahmad. He is a sex pest, sexual assaulter and sexual harasser. Please protect yourself and others from him

If you think police are bad, then you should also think snitches are bad because they are doing police work but doing it for free

France has the largest black & Arab diaspora in Europe. The 17th of October is a symbolic date for protesting, on that same date in 1961, 200 Algerians were killed by police forces & their bodies thrown into the Seine for peacefully protesting unfair curfews imposed on them
French people pretending to be freedom fighters because they don’t have a Black population large enough for their government to justify killing them…
