Solarpunk wannabe inspired by Murray Bookchin and the Rojavan revolution. Anarch-ish, cuz I definitely have demsoc sympathies.
Dr. Bones is a cartoon character, right? He can't possibly be a real person.

No matter which social network you're on, following a diverse group of people helps you taking a peek at the other side of your personal filter bubble.
You don't have to agree with everything and everyone, but please, at least try to listen to people and their opinions.
It will help you appreciate your own life, and may just make you a little wiser.
Clearly I should update.
It must be nice to be able to just choose to be happy.
Here's a nugget for you.
It's not your skin color that makes you white.
Meditate on that.
The "rich people reinventing basic public services" genre gets less funny when you realize they mean privately-run versions that can exclude undesirables.
rothbard and hoppe sound like fuckin chaotic evil barbarian warlord names and im not trusting that shit with my economics

Does this make me a hypocrite? Probably. But I often think our personalities are just the sum total of our personal hypocrisies and the ways we attempt to reconcile them to ourselves and others.
To expand on something I wrote last night. I mostly hate NPR and have dramatically cut back on the number of NPR podcasts I listen to (I'm in Canada, so we don't get it on the actual radio), but I do enjoy some of their shows. It's the politics shows that are really obviously liberal propaganda.
I mean, they recently let the IDF PR person speak unchallenged, as if everything he said was the unvarnished truth.
Some of the less political shows are still entertaining, though.

Today, I learned there is a new (and apparently much better) translation of Stirner's The Unique and Its Property (that's the title of the new translation, which is much more accurate/literal than the more well-known The Ego and Its Own).
Depending how I feel after I finish slogging through the version I downloaded from the Anarchist Library, I may consider buying a copy of the new translation.

I was listening to the Revolutionary Left Radio episode with the Wrong Boys (from the Srsly Wrong podcast) this morning and one of the guys said he identifies and agrees with a lot of anarchist, libertarian socialist thought, but that he also has a liberal, social democratic streak. He said he's got these two warring strains in his politics and, boy, can I ever relate to that.

I started reading The Ego and Its Own a few days ago and, wew lad, I was not expecting that blatant anti-Semitism.
Environmental and political defeatism is so pervasive because it's easy. Capitalist Realism has trained our brains from birth to believe that what is must always be but as Uncle Murray said that is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking. Dare to struggle, Demand Utopia!
