not disroot pallet

here are two of the proposed community icons

I said what I meant: voting is not harm reduction, and voting for Harris didn’t reduce any harm

How does anti-electoralism prevent alternatives from gaining traction?

I didn’t say it does. you are arguing with a strawman

voting Harris didn’t reduce any harm, but it did prevent real alternatives from gaining traction.

harm reduction has a specific meaning, and voting is not harm reduction

the feeling is mutual

if you don’t think that’s fascism, then you and I can’t agree about what fascism is

you’re using a deliberately vague and incomplete definition of “fascism” in order to try to justify your weak claim.

that’s a lie.

conscription, mass surveillance, mass incarceration, bank bailouts, prison slavery, extraordinary rendition, collusion with the arms industry… I don’t feel I need to go on, but we can also look at their foreign policy of wealth extraction.

if they’re prioritizing the interests of the state over the interest of other institutions (the academy, churches, etc) and forcing those institutions to come into alignment with their interests (Pentagon backing research grants, selectively enforcing tax laws in return for compliance, etc), they’re fucking fascists.

your nonsequitur doesn’t change the nature of the hegemony

so you can see how anti-authoritarians take issue with liberals

liberals are fine with authority: cops, judges, bosses, and landlords… don’t lie

it’s not pro-authoritarianism

fascism is a system that puts the interests of the state above all other institutions, and aligns all other institutions with the interests of the state. democrats enact fascist policies with as much gusto as the Republicans, never looking to cede power to other institutions, unless doing so furthers the interests of the state.

so, respectfully, you’re wrong.

The Democrats aren’t fascists

I’m sure you can understand that an anarchist would disagree

i don’t think so. i was making note of your username ;)

isn’ RSA better than aes? i thought aes’ keyspace was only like 56 bits or something.

edit: i looked it up. aes can take a 256 bit key. i was thinking of DES.

no. you’ve got fascism and liberalism in the fucking room. if you don’t kill tehm both, you still have fascism.

not the takeaway you should have had there. how about you do something besides jump off the cliff, like oppose liberal democracy
