@ErikUden@mastodon.deI won't debate people on conforming with the moral standards set by the far right, because every time a moderate feels the need to condemn a statement that was “inciting violence”, the truth comes out that their so-called violence was a media framing oddly applied to them with a bad-faith reading of their words.

I’ve said before and I’ll say again that the only alternative to widespread popular violence is widespread empowerment through nonviolent mechanisms — not robbing people of power, that’s not an alternative, that’s a cause! — and if the oligarchs persist in their aggressive capture of power, Luigi Mangione is going to be not a curious aberration but a harbinger, and I don’t want that, I don’t actually want to live in a world where assassinations are a regular part of how things work, that’s miserable, that’s no way to live, and that’s exactly where we’re heading right now, and it’s grim and driving me to write egregious run-on sentences, please make it stop, thank you. https://wandering.shop/@aesthr/116381847228695045

@hex@kolektiva.socialI think this is an anti-capitalist framing that fails to really engage with intersectional feminism. (Now, please call me out if I'm wrong on this, because I'm still figuring a lot of shit out but...) Racism, misogyny, transphobia, and other forms of bigotry are not distractions that allow capitalist exploitation. They are interlocking systems, of which capitalist exploitation is a part.
The standard framing fails to engage with *what power is.* Impoverishing communities is not the goal. The goal is power. The goal is to create more coercive relationships, which interlock with all the other forms of coercion.
When you understand what the #Epstein class was doing, when you understand the way he specifically leveraged transphobia, misogyny, and economic power *together* as part of his sex trafficking, you realize there's actually something else going on here.
The anti-capitalist framing misses one of the the most important opportunities we have in this moment: the ability to permanently tie this structure to the natural repulsion we all feel towards coercion (especially as it manifests as sexual violence against children).
@johl@mastodon.xyz„As the state imposed a sweeping information blackout and advanced claims blaming foreign agents for the violence, this brutality has nonetheless been met with a striking absence of sustained outrage in spaces that otherwise position themselves as opponents of state violence.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI’ve had this contingent of the language police show up in my replies a few times now over the word “cosplay,” and look…
OK, I get it, I get the instinct to say “Don’t drag me into this!” and I applaud the effort to push fascists out of communities, yes to all that…
…and also we need to recognize that what ICE is doing absolutely •is• cosplay. The word means “costume play.” It refers to assembling and wearing costumes that are not necessarily functional, but show affinity for a particular subculture by reproducing characters from that subculture’s popular narratives.
ICE are cosplaying Call of Duty. That is an accurate description of what’s happening. (Listen to “Gear.”)
I make software and I make music. I don’t think either one of those things •should• be about violence. I don’t •want• them to be about violence. But both are used in the service of violence, like it or not. I shout the violence out whenever it shows up. But would be ridiculous for me to point at what Palantir does and say “That’s not software!” Unfortunately, it •is• software. To deny that would be beyond self-defeating; it would be irresponsible.
ICE •is• doing cosplay, and we hate it. It’s an insult to the cosplay subculture. It is an insult to the whole of humanity. Fascism creeps into all of our spheres, into every beloved craft and community, and the response is never to pretend it’s not there. The response is to drive it out.
