    brb automating my tweets into alternating punches at libertarians and marxists so they can like everything hitting the other side and then howl in agony for years in my mentions about how Slavoj Zizek and Lawrence Reed are unfair examples of their team.

    There are a lot of pictures of mass protests in Venezuela going around, labeled as pro-Maduro or pro-opposition. Anti-Maduro does not necessarily mean pro-opposition (let alone coup), and anti-coup does not necessarily mean pro-Maduro.

    So much of the left moved directly from supporting democrat politicians to supporting foreign dictators. "If you don't shut up about and forget all the bad shit about Hillary/Maduro then you are a direct accomplice of Trump/Guaido"

    Let me get this straight. The US is sanctioning Venezuela for their lack of democracy but not Saudi Arabia? Such hypocrisy. Maduro’s policies are bad and not helping his people, but crippling sanctions or pushing for regime change will only make the situation worse.

    CNN is calling the current ruler of Venezuela a dictator, and a guy who (I'm told) lost an election the president. As though there were a difference. All presidents are dictators.

    "Unless you think mass group decisions made by meetings are incapable of being problematic, you're not an anarchist!" is the dumbest take of the 21st century and it will never cease to amaze me how prevalent that camp is.

    I don't know why I'm surprised or disappointed that libertarians are debating the legal particulars of Guaido's claim to the presidency as though electoral politics are fucking legitimate or our evaluations should hinge on who "obeyed the law" rather than power dynamics.

    Give me one example of a right-wing coup backed by the U.S. in a foreign country that ever ended poorly. Okay then give me two examples. Fine, give me three. Okay smart guy, let’s hear about four. Oh. Well certainly you can’t name five. Six? I mean there can’t possibly be sev-

    Protip: you can oppose both sovereignty AND empire. Support globally networked individualistic resistance from the bottom up, oppose opposition nations/parties/leaders and top-down imposed regime change.

    All politicians are bastards. Maduro and Guaido. Stop summoning monsters to fight other monsters.

    Which is why liberals & leftists should quit blocking bills that allow youth to attend public schools out of their zip code (kinda like libraries). It’s part of the left’s romanticism for “localism” instead of autonomy & decentralism.

    Leftists turn into the most conservative authoritarians whenever it comes to education. This romanticism of government schools and deference to the education industrial complex seriously needs to end.

    They rat themselves out constantly—committing assault, live-streaming as they stalk marches, bragging about violence—but PPB gives them a pass.

    There are basically two kinds of theorizing: The first is to duck and weave, adopting positions to head off certain rhetorical or critical challenges. The second is to constructively create models that can gain traction in moving the world. The first is far more popular.

    A model doesn't have to be logically contradictory to be bad or unworkable. I can design a death trap of a car with a nuclear warhead instead of an engine and yet avoid logical contradiction in laying out my model. Sheesh. It was a fucking insult and the targets bragged about it.
