Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Valeriano Orobón Fernández, born on this day in 1901, was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist theoretician, trade union activist, translator, and poet who wrote the lyrics of the revolutionary song "A Las Barricadas".

Orobón believed in the organizational power of unions, believe that they would have a major role in reorganizing society in a more libertarian fashion. Orobón was also strongly opposed to the communist (i.e., Soviet) ideas in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

Shortly before his untimely death from tuberculosis, Orobón wrote the words of "A Las Barricadas" to the tune of "Warszawianka 1905 roku", itself a well-known Polish revolutionary song. The anti-fascist tune became the anthem of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), and one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Civil War.

i don't know how people do that extreme couponing stuff. nevermind that every coupon i've ever had is some bullshit like 10 cents off if you buy 16 truckloads of canned slop, every time i try to redeem them it turns into that mr. show sketch where they have to phone up the chain of command. if the regional manager's gotta personally OK my coupon it's really not worth it

just to be clear, when I say someone "gets the wall" what I mean is that they understand the thematic nuances of Pink Floyd's classic 1979 album

The most annoying thing about trump is we could have avoided this years ago is liberals got their heads out of their assed and could recognize it was more than trump. If this were happening in 2020 and Biden was incumbent, I don't think he'd stop sending people in El Salvador after taking office. Considering his reign started with people getting whipped by pigs on horses at the border

Aside from any tactical errors by the French or British, and any cunning maneuvers of Fascist diplomacy, there was a basic political fact: the refusal by those governments (and by ample sectors of the governing classes, particularly the American one) to conduct a policy that would defeat Mussolini, at the cost of his liquidation.

The key here is to recognize that his liquidation would indeed be a cost for those governments: that is why they found practically any concession preferable. The Hoare-Laval Pact would demonstrate this, and was already in the air when the foreign secretary wrote the message to Lindsay; in the final analysis, these statesmen were working toward Mussolini’s political triumph.

As Rowse noted in his interesting memoir entitled The Appeasers (the title reveals the focus of the book on those British politicians who pursued the policy of appeasement, attempting to placate fascist dictators through concessions), Sir John Simon — the foreign secretary previous to Hoare — explicitly confirmed this when, confronted with a proposal to act drastically against Italy, he said, “We couldn’t do that: it would mean that Mussolini would fall!” Rowse commented: “That was what was at the back of their minds — the anti-Red theme that confused their minds when they should have been thinking in terms of their country’s interests and safety.”¹³⁰

While Rowse did grasp the true roots of that policy, he remained prisoner of the political and historiographical judgments that considered it a tragic error rather than the logical consequence of a class-based worldview shared by all the leaders involved. This inclination was also present in American society; but this is a topic we shall return to later.

So the whole structure and zeitgeist of the Internet as we know it is inseparable from American manufactured propaganda and bad faith actors?

I wake up, my shoulder aches, I tweak my back, I go to sleep. I wake up, my neck hurts to where I can't look all the way to my left, I get random shooting pains in my leg, I go to sleep. I wake up, my knees hurt, I go to sleep. I wake up, my feet hurt, then something else fucking hurts and I would really really like this to stop, I cannot deal with this on top of being bipolar and dealing with adhd and autism so that I don't even do things that I enjoy agony-deep

So getting kissed from a rose on the grey has had pretty thorough writing. What about other flowers and colours? If you're kissed by a daffodil on the orange can you keep being a great tower alone on the sea? Or does it prevent thar kind of behavior as well?
