    Ok…

    So the main difference here is Denali is fully contained within the borders of the country choosing to name it.

    The Gulf of Mexico is International Waters, and the US doesn’t even have the majority of shoreline… Which is why we have an international standards body to name international waters, so people don’t get confused.

    For example, an airline flight from Tampa to Cancun reports its flying over the Gulf of America to a Mexican air traffic controller… The controller has no idea what the hell he is talking about, because THE ENTIRE GLOBE calls it “Gulf of Mexico”.

    I know this wasn’t a reply to me, but here’s mine:

    And what’s your plan exactly?

    Arm my neighbors. Host regular trainings for firearms. Host regular first aid training. Start growing more food. Help my neighbors grow more food. Learn and share DIY skills with my neighbors. Build up mutual aid networks in place, with my neighbors.

    Basically, whatever it takes to make myself, and my community less reliant on the state, and therefore more resilient.

    What’s up whit this Gadsden flag militia bullshit in left spaces after Trump?

    What Gadsen flag bullshit? I mean, hell, did you ever thing the working class was supposed to be disarmed? Something something frustrating such efforts, with force, if necessary.

    Who are we going to arm? Undocumented people?

    Yes.

    Trans people?

    Yes

    And they’re going to shoot who?

    Hopefully, nobody, like what happened in Dallas when cops showed up to empty a homeless camp. Armed resistance showed up, and stopped them before they started.

    what’s the plan General?

    No gods, no masters, no idols. Find your own affinity group, and figure out the plan for your affinity group. The vanguards aren’t going to help you. The government isn’t going to help you. You and your community will be the best ones to figure out how and why and when for your resistance.









  • We should accept to support a bill strengthening privacy even if it may come from a political party we generally do not support.

    Nobody on the left, afaik, rejects bills out of hand, purely because of which party promulgates it… The problem is, while the American Reich talks a lot about worker’s issues, the bills they propose are just oligarch hand outs, cloaked in socialist or populist ideas. ie, The PATRIOT Act was the least patriotic bill ever put forth, but NOBODY was allowed to be unPATRIOTic and vote against it. The left, opposed it. Same with the 1993 Crime Bill, put forth by Dems… Can’t be “anti-crime” now can we?



  • Literal thought policing (“what you privately think”)

    Your private thoughts, nobody cares about. He didn’t have a “private thought” exposed, he literally posted his thought publicly.

    THATs the issue, and people can choose to disassociate with you, if you publicly ruminate how you’re going to work hand-in-hand with a fascist state.

    judge Proton by its actions rather than the (utterly commonplace) opinions of one of its directors.

    And, this is what we are doing. A CEO speaks for the organization, and telegraphs it’s actions. And his actions are gross.

    If the org wants to fix this, they need to fire him. Because otherwise, his opinion is the opinion of the organization.
