If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.
"I haven't written for a few weeks now. As I write the closing chapter and begin rewriting previous sections, everything feels both more distant and more immediate. The working title [Kairos] has only continued to feel more and more resonant, both during the writing and during my pause."
Now is the time to resist by making something different, by creating a world fundamentally opposed to these systems of oppression.
This is the last in my Kairos series. From here on out I'll be editing to try and make it more of a book than a series of posts. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. All editing is welcome (typos, spell checks, questions and challenges). Between ADHD and dyslexia, it's always hard for my brain to notice mistakes in my own text so I always appreciate the support of those who can.

Trump went rogue on Truth Social on Tuesday,
contradicting his own administration’s decision a day earlier to fund SNAP benefits during the shutdown
—and potentially violating a court order in the process.
Trump’s announcement caught members of his own team off guard,
with four people with knowledge of the matter telling Politico they aren’t clear whether his post means that USDA now won’t abide by the court order.
If Trump follows through on his threat,

Given the reticence of its local affiliates to mention it's name, one could get the impression that ACT, the NZ Initiative, Curia, the NZ Taxpayers' 'Union', and the 'Free Speech' 'Union' are keen to avoid drawing attention to their Atlas Network (also responsible for the US' Project 2025) affiliation. Could it be they're keen to avoid more scrutiny of where their funding comes from? 🤔 Assuming their search is trustworthy, on the RNZ website, there'…

so, i have something important to say. on 9th of December 2025, i woke up to someone who stalked me for eight years being inside my home, finding my address through means that are still not fully clear.
i know that several people reading this have in the past supported her (knowingly or not) or tried to "help" her after they learned of the stalking.

Who’s going to tell Germany that commiting genocide isn’t a fundamental European value? (I can see why they’re confused, of course.)

Colorado voters overwhelmingly supported a pair of ballot measures that aim to ensure every public school child in the state is able to access free meals at their schools.
Proposition MM increases taxes on wealthy households earning more than $300,000 annually.
The measure supplements a previously passed referendum from 2022 that also called for increases in taxes in order to help fund schools, but which fell short of its funding goals.
The tax increases will affect around …

Trump's mad hubris has been coming fast and furious.
On Air Force One, next to a grinning and bobbing Sen. Lindsey Graham,
Trump doubled down on the notion that the failed state of Cuba would be next to fall,
finding time to threaten Colombia, Mexico, and even Greenland.
This isn’t evidence of great power.
But it is more than just the egotistical impulse of an unchecked imperial president.
It is a deliberate strategy that involves the gleeful destructio…
