To quote a great Mastodonian:"calling your representatives and senators is like calling the boyfriend who said he was gonna kill you and telling him you don’t like that kind of idea and you hope he would consider not killing you"

#DeusEx Remastered - Ich bin gespannt!
Sicherheitssysteme und Kampfroboter hacken, Kameras übernehmen, Betäubungsgasfallen legen und den eigenen Körper immer weiter aufrüsten...
War mein erstes Open World Game und hat mich damals komplett begeistert.
Und dann noch die Community-Erweiterungen. Just wow!

I fucking hate Microsoft. I hate them for the customization features they've removed from Windows over the years, I hate they apps they force on me, and here, they've anticipated that I never want to get notifications about some shitty new feature to windows, and they're saying, "No, you don't get to say no to notifications for a feature you'll never use."
Just fucking hate all corporations everywhere. We need a thousand more Luigi Mangiones. #Microsoft #SmashTheState

as they decide how much to listen to us and how much to treat us like slabs of meat. Prison is present in the school system as they categorize you, discipline you, track you, and it’s definitely present when they haul you into the office and search your backpack after you start questioning the hypocrisy at the center of it all."

"Instead of holding the state accountable for what is a world-historical failure to control disease, instead of demanding a new approach to begin mitigating these unprecedented levels of public illness, the public is distracted with mocking, marginalizing, criminalizing, and attacking disabled people. Who, to be clear, are already completely excised from most forms of public life."

The Wimmelbild shows scenes of how we have been failed during the ongoing pandemic, in the absurd nation state where we are forced to live, in a country that wants us dead. And there are probably lots of international similarities.

I wanted some aggro music to shake myself out of the cold symptom stupor I'm rapidly descending into, so I came home from work and put on a Discharge record. (Note: the rest of my family is not home yet. If they were, this plan would be voted down very quickly.)
I've always felt that Discharge had politics similar to Crass, but minus all the arty sophistication—they relied on raw speed, extreme volume, and adrenaline as the tools with which to get their (quite fatalistic) worldviews across. All of their songs are played at the same breakneck tempo and have lyrics which are screamed in an unmistakable monotone.
One could argue that verses like "Men women and children groaning in agony // From the intolerable pains of their burns //
A hell on earth, hell on earth" are simple and dumb, but if you frame them as a kind of punk haiku, the sloganeering really does go perfectly with their brutal riffing and apocalyptic, D-Beat drumming.Also, Discharge gets big points from me for their liberal use of pick slides. If you're gonna be in a band with a mean-ass guitar sound like this, there should *always* be pick slides.

A lot of US political talk tacitly assumes that a purpose of government is to help people. One way this assumption manifests itself is as shock that the government openly facilitates exploitation. They prosecute shoplifting but not wage theft! Littering but not industrial pollution! Jaywalking but not killer self-driving cars! Poor people's tax evasion but corporations pay nothing! Student loan defaults but not COVID money fraud!
Often this discourse contrasts current conditions to an imaginary past when the government did its putative job. The top tax rate used to be 90%! The minimum wage was a lot higher in real dollars! Public universities used to be affordable! But really, when was this supposed golden age?
The first governments that colonists set up on this continent were run by enslaving planters to facilitate slave-based capitalism. During the nineteenth century the planters were replaced by industrialists and financiers to facilitate wage-slave-based exploitation. At some point capitalists subbed in professional politicians but the work didn't change. Any gains workers made were the result of resistance, not government beneficence. If there was actually a time when American governments, federal, state, local, meant to help people, when did it start? When did the plantocracy or its successors relinquish control?
Governments here have *never* been on our side. Their main function has *always* been to facilitate exploitation and the transfer of wealth from poor to rich. At any given point in history they've stolen as much as they could get away with, and if it looks like things used to be better it's only because they didn't yet have the means to make them worse. Capitalism isn't amenable to reform, only to abolition. Of the police, of wage slavery, of coercion as a tool of government. So, you know, smash the state!

For years I've been curious about the more "revolutionary" aspects of the Left (broadly conceived). What does it mean to "smash the state," or to "de-fund the police," or to seek revolution rather than incrementalism?
I came across this rather thoughtful, intense, and passionate talk on just these questions. I don't know where I stand on all of it, but I find it compelling in many ways and a lot of food for thought.
