Transitioning helped a lot, I do still feel depressed occasionally, but it’s more passing and related to hormones.

Switching from a career where I was on call nearly all the time for immediate issues for one where I have more flexibility and don’t have to drive as much was a big help.

I still mask and feel really alienated being around people who don’t, but that sentiment was not new to me being vegan and trans and an anarchist. Those orientations don’t always lend themselves to being understood by others who aren’t.

I don’t spend much time online. Organizing with like-minded individuals in real life is way better for my mental health.

I do smoke a lot of weed, but it’s because I enjoy it rather than because I feel bad or am trying to self-medicate.

absolutely not, the only thing I follow on youtube is artists making teto songs

blame the trots, they would call people campists. according to the argument, the communists they disagree with are simply all-in for the anti-first world America bad camp, with them as the enlightened centrists.

now it is unironically used by people (who are campists for the first world themselves) as a synonym for ‘tankie’

sounds like he’s okay with wars as long as they have a pretext, which they always do

they all suck, but that wasn’t shitposting, the shitposting was when he pretended to have good politics:

He said he has never considered himself to be a communist and that the comment was merely “internet s—posting

his constant use of weasel words like not supporting ‘unjust’ wars makes it impossible to distinguish his “foreign policy” from any of the other warmongering Democrats.

Respectfully, if you voted for the genociders you have no moral credibility here.

don’t worry I didn’t

blackwater Nazi tattoo guy sucks and I don’t see a reason to believe a word he says

the “shitposting” in question:

oh that does suck! hopefully you’re able to get involved.

I’ve also seen some body/car blocking but it’s very spontaneous and theres been concerns about potentially getting people injured in those interactions as ice cars have already straight up driven through people forming a chain

I’m honestly curious what could be done as well, because around here they started by staking out courthouses and now they’ve moved on to raiding things like big box stores and car washes

a big part of the equation is making a network for actually verifying the presence of agents in real time, as false positives and such can leave people stuck at home in fear.

getting food pantry deliveries coordinated to families who don’t feel comfortable going out has been a nice thing I’ve seen as well

As I have stated in other comments: “To be very clear, we never should have been there fighting in cities in an unjust war or inversion…”I will repeat it over and over again.

why qualify it? if there’s a justification does that suddenly make full-scale invasions okay?

I’m actually curious, would Afghanistan an example of another unjust war?

being vegan is a big one for me, no bigger turn-off than watching someone eating a carcass

I love the links to rationalwiki and YouTube video on media literacy in the sidebar on all of them by default

Philip is the bad takes machine, the last time I had an extended conversation with him he made it clear to me that he was in favor of the Freikorps killing Rosa Luxemburg.

stands to reason he would be be able to look past a Nazi tattoo on a blackwater merc.

why does this use of force in a calculated way to avoid civilian collateral damage not make the cut but other instances do?

I’m opposed to all wars except the class war, if you’re going across the world to kill civilians in an imperial war and you joined the Marines to kill, I’m not going to have a lot of charity about the use of improvised explosives in civilian areas

do you think there was anything wrong with what the US was doing in Iraq and Afghanistan? do you think that launching full scale invasions of other countries is okay as long as there’s a justification?

idk why he would clarify ‘pointless’ I guess he’s fine as long as the wars have a ‘pointed’ pretext, which the Iraq war did have. has he been specific?

The amount of Astroturfing against the guy a year out from the election is extremely sus.

the amount of people advocating to overlook a blackwater mercs Nazi tattoo and war crime employment history is also sus.

last I checked he seemed fine with his role in the US-led full scale invasion of Iraq, has he actually said anything condemning that or about opposing future warmongering?

the transphobes continued to be transphobic

the BC did not want to authorize mortars for returned fire

because civilians were in the area?

he created a less harmful indirect fire solution

It not a war crime.

So if every single incident of returning indirect fire possibly firing on civilians is a war crime, then there are a hell of a lot more war criminals in the military that need prosecution.

as far as I’m concerned every US president should be at the front of that list and it definitely shouldn’t stop there
