I'm dying to talk about it, but this shit might legitimately actually end up in the news and I might get doxxed. I've been deleting my old posts about it just in case.

All I want to say is that these Zionist fascists are weak and cowardly and solidarity is all we have and all we need.

Where there is power, there is resistance, and yet, or rather consequently, this resistance is never in a position of exteriority in relation to power. Should it be said that one is always "inside" power, there is no "escaping" it, there is no absolute outside where it is concerned, because one is subject to the law in any case? Or that, history being the ruse of reason, power is the ruse of history, always emerging the winner? This would be to misunderstand the strictly relational character of power relationships. Their existence depends on a multiplicity of points of resistance: these play the role of adversary, target, support, or handle in power relations. These points of resistance are present everywhere in the power network. Hence there is no single locus of great Refusal, no soul of revolt, source of all rebellions, or pure law of the revolutionary. Instead there is a plurality of resistances, each of them a special case: resistances that are possible, necessary, improbable; others that are spontaneous, savage, solitary, concerted, rampant, or violent; still others that are quick to compromise, interested, or sacrificial; by definition, they can only exist in the strategic field of power relations. But this does not mean that they are only a reaction or rebound, forming with respect to the basic domination an underside that is in the end always passive, doomed to perpetual defeat. Resistances do not derive from a few heterogeneous principles; but neither are they a lure or a promise that is of necessity betrayed. They are the odd term in relations of power; they are inscribed in the latter as an irreducible opposite. Hence they too are distributed in irregular fashion: the points, knots, or focuses of resistance are spread over time and space at varying densities, at times mobilizing groups or individuals in a definitive way, inflaming certain points of the body, certain moments in life, certain types of behavior ... And it is doubtless the strategic codification of these points of resistance that makes a revolution possible"

Full solidarity with whatever cool things you're doing.

Be careful comrade.

I snapped at someone at work today. I know I looked positively manic compared to how I was sunken eyed for the previous 7 hours of my shift. He wasn't even saying there was no genocide, just saying some of the info we're getting might be 'muddied'. There were better people to snap at, including the veterans I work with. He just happened to set me off.

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

Thats always how it works, shit tends to roll down hill, or whatever, might be worth trying to chat with him about it some more

or not, my colleagues have left me feeling so isolated about this

[-] bloubz@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 5 months ago

You can always say you're sorry about snapping and explain why you were feeling this way to begin with. I'm sure he'll understand

Just some days ago one of my friends in our group chat said some enlightened centrist bullshit about ISSrael, it ticked me off and I called him out on it and ended up having a struggle session that led mostly nowhere

I'm dying to talk about it, but

What about a few indirect stories? You know, just as a treat

Literally a week before 7 October, my anti-cracker-aktion boss decided to no longer let me go to Jummah prayer "because it's unfair to the others".

Death to the BaltiKKKs.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

Seems like a accomodation discrimination lawsuit to me.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

A week or two after October 7th my former coworker brought up Palestine saying it was a "holy war." I called it a genocide. My supervisor said she thought we were going to fight.

Ita pretty hard for me to get that worked up but genocide denial will do it for me. Doesn't help he's military.

[-] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 15 points 5 months ago

Tbf every holy war has historically been a genocide

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

Yeah, but he also justified it by saying we have to support Isreal because we're their ally.

Like... no? Get better allies?

The only question I have is what industry do you work in? No need to be too specific obviously.

Are you chronicling the tale for a later day? You know we want our slop

[-] Salmarez@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

Good luck to you and all your anti-Zionist buddies with crumpling the paper tigers.

[-] memory_adept@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

[-] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 91 points 5 months ago
