I'd never really seen it all laid out nearly like the author does int hair article.

Greetings Comrades. today's update is just one item. Going forward "llm" text generators will be referred to as KKKlocks that Lie.

There's an uncomfortable comfort in shitposting through the coolzone again after all these years. And yeah, I do kinda want to see some kid micro-ing a few hundred drones through an air-defense network.

This is specific to America bc it looks like there are labor fights going on in Canda, France, Worst Korea, and maybe some other places over rail contracts right now.

Someone was saying "Biden pushed back and blah blah blah railworker contracts" and being the shitty little hate fueled imp I am I went try to find out what happened. Well wouldn't you fucking know it, the rail workers who are most in need of improved working conditions, the people who actually operate the trains, haven't agreed to shit?

It's confusing as fuck trying to sort through shitty Google links and labor hostile/company friendly press. This little tidbit, that the people who absolutely need better working conditions don't have them and don't have an agreement to get them, was hidden in the fine print if it's mentioned at all. If anyone who is more familiar with this can check my work and confirm that my basic thesis;

• Railway companies gave contracts to the people who are not critical to the operation of each individual train, but have not made a deal with people who must be on the train for the train to operate

is mostly correct?

Funny enough, the Trots at WSWS seem to have the best reporting but I can't really use that with anyone who doesn't already speak Maoist Standard English. The most recent article on the US rail labor contracts I can find dates to ~November 13, where it looks like all the papers bought one AP or Reuters release and each re-formatted it for their own websites. Nothing really since then unless there's a secret labor journal I don't know about.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

For context Libs on Bsky are passing aroudn this fascists shithead's bullshit book "On Tyranny" as a manual for "resisting authoritarianism" THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE YOU LIBERAL SHITWIPES!

Don't normalize the regime! Don't normalize the regime! Don't normalize the regime!

What's his example of things people normalized? State surveillance? Violence against undocumented people? The Muslim ban? Assassinating protestors? No. NO NO NO NO.

What does he use>?

FUCKING RUSSIAGATE!!!

This man is being upheld all over bsky as some kind of fucking "authoritarianism" whisperer and he's a complete fucking hack. Some absolutely fucking arcane nonesense made up bullshit that is NOT ACTIONABLE. People can't do shit if the POTUS wants to get information from the fucking FSB. It's not in the scope of their lives.

"do not obey in advance" do not fucking obey what? Do not obey the president called Vlad to get drinks? How do you do not obey that? Fuck this fucker. Nothing about resisting the cops, nothing about immigration, nothing about security and surveillance, nothing about anything that fucking matters! FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

This is exactly, exactly, why I made this fucking thing

Fuck. FUCK LIBERALS FUCK THEM FUFASKLFGEJ:FJKL:ASEFGJHK:ESFpaerwuipa fufkcing liberal scum collaborator vichy shitstain fucking fucks they're going to stay home eat brunch and sell out eveyrone fuckadjkgfa;lkdsgj fuckckckckckk!

This man is a fucking menace,. Yes we'll just ask the fascist militarized police and genocidal imperialist military to practice mindfulness and just not do fascism please idfk this is so bad. This is so fucking bad this is so bad. I guess on the plus side this only has like ~10k views so no one is actually seeing this shit but god damn.

And he's still whining about j6. What a fucking loser.

Edit for clarity: I'm not asking why the Tankie/Anarchist grudge exist. I'm curious about what information sources - mentors, friends, books, TV, cultural osmosis, conveys that information to people. Where do individuals encounter this information and how does it become important to them. It's an anthropology question about a contemporary culture rather than a question about the history of leftism.

I've been thinking about this a bit lately. Newly minted Anarchists have to learn to hate Lenin and Stalin and whoever else they have a grudge against. They have to encounter some materials or teacher who teaches them "Yeah these guys, you have to hate these guys and it has to be super-personal like they kicked your dog. You have to be extremely angry about it and treat anyone who doesn't disavow them as though they're literally going to kill you."

Like there's some process of enculturation there, of being brought in to the culture of anarchism, and there's a process where anarchists learn this thing that all (most?) anarchists know and agree on.

Idk, just anthropology brain anthropologying. Cause like if someone or something didn't teach you this why would you care so much?

I'm struggling to find numbers because Google has been enshittified and will only show me local rental advertising, but, like, if I understand this the cost of food, since Biden took office, is up like 20%, and rent is up ~30%, medicine and childcare are still totally unaffordable, and everything else is much more expensive. Meanwhile wages are up like, idk, 20$ a week or something.

Cause, this all adds up to me as people are drastically poorer than they were four years ago, but the economics perverts on bsky insist people should kiss Biden's shoes because wages are up 4.3% and "The ecnonomy is good."

Can someone help with numbers I don't know how to convince a liberal that people need to eat food or they'll die.

There's so much text here I don't know how to alt text it but it's a list of 17 bluesky block lists I'm on because I'm a evil cryptofash tankie authoritarian trump supporting jill stein voting blah blah blah and it looks like I got on an anti-ukraine list somehow?

Just started this, dunno how it'll turn out. But it's kind of neat to see a depiction of later samurai, long after their swords had rusted in their scabbards and they had to find real jobs. It seems pretty light hearted so far. Crappy jobs, every day heroism, overbearing grandparents, and dreams that are just out of reach.

When you're scrolling through social media please keep in mind that Social Media users, especially Reddit, Twitter, and Bsky are deeply strange freaks and may not be representative of the general population. There are lots of normal people in America too. Admittedly, Id on't know any of them because I haven't touched grass in years, but they exist.
