  1. Western countries are losing the benefits of colonialism and imperialism. Wealth in the western world is concentrated with the ultra rich and the billionaire class.

    The ultra rich will do anything to try to hollow out the western world like they did to Africa and South America.

  2. The behaviour of the ‘baby-fascists’ in Puerta del Sol (Madrid) confirms the negative influence exerted by right-wing ideology on the mental health of young people.

  3. 🌎 [EN] 🕊️✊ Europe’s vassalage to Washington deepens: tariffs, military spending and energy dependence. UK and Germany concede and face more pressure. What anti-imperialist alternatives do you see?

  4. It's easier to treat every act of violence as though it occurs in a vacuum, detached from the historical, political, and institutional structures from which it originates.

    Meanwhile, the longer the US establishment remains in power, perpetuating the very structures of violence it refuses to confront, the more Nidal Malik Hasans it will create in the future.

  5. It is easier to oppose war in principle than to confront the structures of power that sustain violence. The absence of warfare doesn't mean the presence of justice. And demanding an end to fighting is not the same as demanding an end to oppression.

    It's so much easier to pretend that structural violence and systemic oppression don't exist, or to dismiss them as mere inconveniences. It's easier to pretend that white supremacy, Orientalist historical revisionism, systemic anti-Muslim propaganda, and the myth of "the West as the civilised world" have nothing to do with whose violence is condemned and whose violence is justified.

  6. Or does your understanding of terrorism begin and end with individual acts of violence, conveniently excluding the institutions that organise, legitimise, and perpetuate violence on a far greater scale? Who gets to define terrorism, whose violence gets called justice, and whose suffering is treated as an acceptable cost of maintaining the existing order?

  7. This is how you "handle" terrorists that threaten US domination, yes?

    In case you weren't aware, from our perspective (Global South), the US is the world's biggest terrorist. Israel is nothing without the US.

    How do you think the world should handle the world's biggest terrorist?

  8. Oh, so your country wants to livestream the execution of a 56-year-old paraplegic Palestinian American Muslim man?

    You mean, just like the genocide of his people that your country has been funding for the past three years, while the whole world watches?

    And now you want to publicly execute him because he killed 13 US military personnel in retaliation for your own military's mass killing of Muslims in Afghanistan?

    It’s not like there’s a lack of #Warmongers around these days. GIven that so many #Fascists are either already waring, and that there are others itching to get into it, is it any wonder we cuurrently have a global arms race — and the arms indstry is loving it because, they argue convincingly, if war is inevitable, who’d you rather won it?

    I’d rather they’d be none, but hey, it is what it is. So give me my nuclear sub… and any other fancy murdering machine so I get a chance to fight back against stupid bullies.

  10. My friend Amira recently wrote about state repression, police violence, environmental destruction, and the criminalisation of dissent in Indonesia, drawing connections between our history and present realities.

    I'm grateful that she included my writing and the resources I shared, and encouraged her readers to support mutualaidspace.org.

    Please take the time to read and share her work 💜

  11. Motions may be performative politics

    "In the current political conditions of the UK, refocussing the public conversation around Zionism is a gift to the Right. They can distract away from genocide, or arms sales, or nakba, and back onto one about emotions or ideology."

  12. Unsalted is Hibernating

    You may have noticed we have been quiet for some time. The collective has become very busy and can't give Unsalted Counter Info the time this kind of project needs. This happened before the fascist attack on Autistici/Inventati which resulted in noblogs being taken offline and the disbanding of A/I. Finding new hosting means even more work for an already busy collective.

    We would rather make an announcement than leave people guessing. We're entering hibernation and hope to reawaken later. Without the noblogs, we will be posting submissions directly to this mastodon account. We will have submissions open to our onion site or protonmail inbox for another 30 days. On October 31 we will officially enter hibernation, take down the onion site, and stop checking the submission inbox.

    Watch this mastodon account! You will know spring has come and we have awoken when this account is active, the verified site is updated, and the onion site returns. We will be the only ones with the keys necessary to bring the onion site back online at the same .onion domain, so we recommend saving it to verify later.

    We leave you with the keepitfree.ai/ resource on the A/I situation, and A/I's parting words: Go forth and multiply! May 10 - 100 - 1000 servers spark up

    Until soon,
    Unsalted Collective

  13. The death penalty is a violation of human rights. Punishing someone with death 30 years after they committed a crime is murder, which shows that the sole aim is revenge, not justice. Only the twisted minds of sadistic psychopaths can act in this way, and unfortunately there are many such people in the United States of America.

  14. CW: CW: capitalism, poverty, social inequality, classism, gender discrimination, xenophobia, imperialism, war, violence, institutional violence, mental illness, psychiatric institutions, corporal punishment, trauma, exploitation, dehumanisation

    Good morning, lovely people!

    I spent my weekend mostly dealing with banks and stuff regarding my finances, but I also got some writing done. Nothing really for publishing, just for myself, but I think I might share. This was first based on a reflection on a quote by Ulrike Meinhof (yes, that Ulrike Meinhof), but it became much more, and much longer. So...

    Where do we come from?

    We come from cities built out of concrete and anxiety, from streets where thousands of people live stacked beside one another and somehow remain strangers. We come from the capitalist metropolitan machine, from its noise and its loneliness, from the strange modern miracle of being surrounded by humanity and still being told that you are alone.

    We come from the war of everyone against everyone else, though it rarely announces itself as war. It comes dressed as competition. As career. As market forces. As personal responsibility. As the cheerful little lie that everyone is free, provided they can afford the price of admission.

    We come from a system that teaches us to measure one another before it teaches us to know one another.

    Who is productive?
    Who is employable?
    Who is attractive?
    Who is healthy?
    Who belongs?
    Who is German?
    Who is foreign?
    Who is respectable?
    Who is old enough to matter?
    Who is young enough to be ignored?
    Who is sick enough to be pitied but not inconvenient enough to require anything?

    And somewhere along the way, even our bodies become filing cabinets.

    Men and women.
    Young and old.
    Healthy and sick.
    Normal and deviant.
    Citizen and foreigner.
    Winner and loser.

    Little administrative boxes for an animal that was never designed to fit inside one.

    We come from the row house, the Plattenbau, the suburb, the commuter train. From bedrooms where teenagers learned to hate themselves quietly. From classrooms where obedience was mistaken for education. From offices where eight hours disappeared beneath fluorescent lights. From hospitals and prisons and psychiatric wards. From waiting rooms where suffering becomes a number on a screen.

    We come from the television glowing in the dark.

    From the smartphone in our hands.

    From advertising whispering that we are incomplete.

    From algorithms discovering our weaknesses and selling them back to us.

    From consumerism's peculiar promise that loneliness can be purchased in twelve convenient instalments.

    We come from being told to work harder when we were already exhausted.

    From being told to try harder when the door had been locked from the other side.

    From being told that poverty was a personal failure, illness an inconvenience, exhaustion a lack of discipline, and unhappiness a defective attitude.

    We come from depression.

    From illness.

    From degradation.

    From humiliation.

    From every small cruelty that was called character-building because somebody preferred cruelty to care.

    We come from corporal punishment and social punishment, from the raised hand and the raised eyebrow, from the teacher who shamed the child, the parent who frightened the child, the institution that disciplined the inconvenient human being until they became convenient.

    We come from the ideology of nonviolence that sometimes asks the wounded to remain polite while the powerful continue doing the wounding.

    We come from people who were told to forgive before anyone bothered to stop the harm.

    We come from people who survived.

    And that word matters.

    Because history is full of people who were not supposed to survive it.

    We come from workers whose labour became somebody else's profit.

    From women whose lives were made smaller by the architecture of gender.

    From queer people who learned to make themselves invisible and then, occasionally, decided to become gloriously impossible to ignore.

    From migrants and refugees whose humanity was made conditional upon paperwork.

    From colonised people whose countries were turned into markets and whose histories were turned into footnotes.

    From the people imperialism exploited, displaced, impoverished, disciplined and then blamed for the ruins.

    We come from empire's long shadow.

    We come from wars remembered in monuments and wars forgotten in mass graves.

    We come from children who learned too early that adults can be dangerous.

    We come from adults who learned too late that obedience is not the same thing as goodness.

    And we come from every person who looked at this enormous machinery of misery and thought:

    No.

    Not loudly, necessarily.

    Sometimes just a tiny, private no.

    A refusal to become cruel.

    A refusal to believe that another person's suffering is deserved.

    A refusal to accept that competition is the natural condition of humanity simply because capitalism has become very good at arranging the furniture that way.

    A refusal to become what hurt us.

    Because that, too, is part of where we come from.

    We come from resistance.

    Not always heroic resistance. Mostly not.

    We come from small acts.

    From sharing food.

    From translating a letter for somebody who cannot understand the bureaucracy.

    From teaching a child something simply because knowledge ought to belong to them.

    From making a home where someone else can finally unclench their shoulders.

    From sitting beside the person everybody else has decided is difficult.

    From saying I believe you.

    From saying you can stay.

    From saying this is not your fault.

    From saying we can build something else.

    Perhaps this is the strange inheritance we carry.

    We have inherited a world that tells us human beings are competitors, commodities, categories, consumers, voters, taxpayers, employees, bodies.

    And still, somehow, we keep becoming people.

    Messy people.

    Tender people.

    Angry people.

    Ridiculous people.

    People who make tea for someone who is sad. People who rescue cats. People who write poems at two in the morning. People who teach. People who translate. People who fall in love with inconvenient humans and inconvenient ideas. People who look at a machine built to turn life into profit and insist that life is not raw material.

    That is where we come from.

    From the concrete.

    From the violence.

    From the loneliness.

    From the history that bruised us.

    But also from every hand that reached through it.

    Every voice that said another world was possible.

    Every person who refused to become indifferent.

    And perhaps that is why we are still here.

    Not because history has been gentle.

    It has not.

    But because somewhere beneath all the architecture of fear, beneath the invoices and borders and prisons and rankings and little boxes into which we keep trying to sort one another, there remains this stubborn, inconvenient thing:

    a human being looking at another human being and recognising a fellow creature.

    No market can quite explain that.

    No spreadsheet can measure it.

    No empire has ever managed to abolish it completely.

    And perhaps, in the end, that is where we begin.

  15. Mutual Aid Request Roundup 17-Sept-2026

    Palestinians are being killed under a declared ceasefire while the US moves to supply Israel with forty thousand more bombs. Reconstruction remains stalled. This week’s mutual aid requests offer somewhere to act: redistribute what you can move today, and amplify the requests you can’t fund.

  16. Mutual Aid Request Roundup 10-Sept-2026

    I am writing from Indonesia, where I refuse to make survival conditional on someone having enough savings to endure an emergency. Public responsibility and mutual aid belong in the same conversation. We can demand the resources people deserve while moving what we have towards those asking now. Read the appeals, contribute directly, and carry an original request into a circle that can help fund it.

  17. Rage Against the Machine: Toward Humane Systems of Mutual Aid

    Humanitarian aid is sold as neutral and benevolent. On the ground, it is an outpost of empire. It registers, sorts, and disciplines the people it claims to save, and leaves untouched what wrecked them. In Palestine, it normalises occupation and freezes life in permanent limbo. In Sudan, it retreated and left devastation behind. In Congo, it manages displacement while extraction rolls on. States have even captured zakat and turned it into prestige and bureaucracy. Still, communities feed each other. Palestinian crowdfunding, Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms, and Team Congo RDC bypass the gatekeepers and put resources in people's hands, with no donor hierarchy. Share this work, and strengthen the mutual aid ecosystem.
