I see the fascists are going crazy because seven AfD candidates died in run up to local elections in Germany. They are too stupid to notice that eight candidates from other parties also died. AfD candidates were mostly old and male. Nothing to see here.

Kommunalwahlen NRW: Keine Unregelmäßigkeiten bei toten AfD-Kandidaten
Im Internet wird über den Hintergrund mehrerer Todesfälle von AfD-Politikern vor den Kommunalwahlen in Nordrhein-Westfalen spekuliert. Es gibt jedoch keinerlei Hinweise auf Fremdeinwirkung.

“The #robots are here. Our future is no longer science fiction,” said the first lady. Uncharacteristically pensive, she then added, “I have seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.”

Adding another post. This one is a bit less polished, but I want to get it out. As things get harder for everyone, I'm seeing a greater tendency to want to grasp onto revolutionary fiction such as #Andor. I think there's value in that, but it has to come with an informed critique.
> We are so thirsty for hope that we will drink it up, even when that hope comes from a fiction and the truth behind the hope is poison. In Andor, we see the worst elements sacrifice themselves for some of the best. The revolution goes through a process of purification, the complicated elements weeding themselves out to make room for the simplified good, as the rebellion unifies. In reality, this tends to be the opposite how things actually work.
> [...]
> [The Urban Guerilla movement of the 60's through the 80's] centered militant revolution. In doing so, they omitted or cut themselves off from the logistic support needed to sustain such revolutionary activity. The trauma of carrying out violence further isolated and radicalized them. Lacking infrastructure for trauma healing, their decay escalated and became unrecoverable. Ultimately, their revolutionary movements both emulated and reinforced the status quo they were trying to resist.
> There emerges a strange historical parallel that is difficult to see from within the dominant paradigm. The competitive politics of electoralism derives from heroic competition, where people (typically men) compete (often violently) for control over a territory or people. Thus the insurrectionary enters into the very same competition as a challenger, not against the system of domination but for control over it. The success of the revolution, then, does not abolish the system of violent domination but changes rather replaces its management.
> Many modern anarchists will be quick to point out the disconnect between ends and means. While authoritarian projects often assert that "the ends justify the means," and Andor implies the same, anti-authoritarian projects assert the ends and the means are not only united but are, in fact, the same.
This is still very much something I'm actively editing, but I'd still love feedback to help me refine it to it's final form. Typo catches and clarifying questions welcome.
