Please. The message I am taking away from his comments is that voting and protesting in and of themselves do nothing. That’s not nihilism, that’s useful advice. We need mutual aid and harm reduction networks that will allow for communities to have a critical mass of their members be fully supported by everyone else to they can effectively be “ungovernable” and engage in armed resistance, 24/7.

You don’t give a fuck about Americans? Never would have guessed…

Criticism of America as usually pretty spot on, but a lot of recent criticism online has devolved to insulting every American individual and has plenty of schadenfreude vibes. It is especially galling since it is easy to imagine that this criticism comes from people or places that would be doing the same thing (or lack thereof) to fight this sort of cryptofascism in their own countries as well. How many of those complaining about the direction America is headed and how little the people are doing to stop it, would be totally disinterested if we were talking about Poland or Finland or Italy? Ultimately, I believe what we are seeing, in many cases, is really just an objection to how much their own country’s economics and military are tied to the whims or fortunes of the U.S.
