  • How does this apply to a usb-c-to-headphone-port adapter, if at all? If someone's using one to regain access to a 3.5mm audio jack, are any risks posed?

  • This reminds me of a neat history lesson:

    https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-the-tragedy-at-buffalo

    History doesnt repeat, but it certainly rhymes.

    "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable."

    It wasnt Czolgosz or Mangione that sat at the reigns of a murder machine sanctioned by baron-owned-state monopoly of violence.

    Goldman, for her part, had such a big heart for those driven to desperate acts.

    Throughout her detention and after her release, Goldman steadfastly refused to condemn Czolgosz's actions, standing virtually alone in doing so. Friends and supporters—including Berkman—urged her to quit his cause. But Goldman defended Czolgosz as a "supersensitive being" and chastised other anarchists for abandoning him.[75] She was vilified in the press as the "high priestess of anarchy",[76] while many newspapers declared the anarchist movement responsible for the murder.[77] In the wake of these events, socialism gained support over anarchism among US radicals. McKinley's successor, Theodore Roosevelt, declared his intent to crack down "not only against anarchists, but against all active and passive sympathizers with anarchists".[78]

    Berkman wasnt shit. Emma was a real one

  • How should he be defended?

    Seems to me a matter of arguing that, a person put in a circumstance in which they endure immense and sustained, sometimes chronic pain, or loss; who is full aware that they are gatekept from a medicine, procedure or healthcare service which drastically ameliorates or outright prevents that suffering, in seeing the unneccesary cruelty for sake of some rich monster getting another yacht, and under immense anguisu, or grief may suffer a form of fugue state in which they cannot be considered to have acted of their own sound mind, but instead induced by the actor who by the pen created their suffering.

  • Tl;dr at end

    Barbarism We are (indeed) no more evovled or "civilized" than australiopithicus or cro-magnons, nor the marauding vikings.

    Tribalism Im sick of the cop-out using this word too.

    So yeah, signal boost to Andrewism (a channel name which is roughly about rejecting isms/be your own ism; this one helps articulate where I'm coming from about why tribalism gets a bad rep.)

    We in the modern age operate under the dangerous misconception regarding our heritage. If one should ask the average citizen whether or not they believe humans are more evolved than our ancient ancestors they will more often than not express the belief that we are indeed far, far superior.

    Surely we are more sophisticated and more capable of reason than the hunter gatherers of 13,000 BC. More civilized than the marauding Vikings of 1,000 years ago. We imagine these peoples as ignorant, primitive, barbaric. “wE aRe nOt tHoSe pEoPlEs.”

    In fact Homo sapiens--modern humans--share an inherited gene pool with the earliest hominids like australopithecus who lived 2.5 million years ago. We possess no significant physiological differences than Cro-Magnon or the Neanderthals. Nor does evidence suggest our tendencies toward the barbaric have lessened over time.

    On the contrary, present day humans are capable of the same self destructive behavior, the same crimes against humanity, the same violent power struggles as our ancestors. We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millennia. If any thing our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology and our ubiquitous modern conveniences.

    And yet, despite our predisposition toward fear-driven hostility, toward what we anachronistically term 'primitive' behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our makeup. We are capable--as our ancestors were--of incredible, breathtaking acts of kindness.

    Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moment's notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent, benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of cost-free cake.

    I speak of pure acts of selflessness. The mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. The person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on an upper story. The man who can barely swim who dives into a lake to rescue a drowning stranger.

    Such actions, such moments, such unconscious selfless decisions define what it is to be human. Daniel Ash

    Tl;dr: The root cause analysis into the violence, inequity and needless sufferung results in the recognition of Class War: That ruling elites in this modern NeoColonial Imperialist Era have shaped Fear Propaganda Campaigns to divide the working class (modern day: anyone not a C-level Executive Officer) into atomization. A wonderful example is the Prohibition in the USA exacerbating and profit / acquisition of political capital by dividing the not-so-white americans from the white-white americans. Preceeded by anti-chinese propaganda by proxy of conflation with opiate usage and anti-black (dock workers of 1910's), and followed by the cannabis prohibition.

    All of these have economic roots, as do things we call "natural" such as the nuclear (imperial) family, and the conflation and dyaditic flattening of gender such that working class Men alone were afforded a wage, to then take a wife to subjugate and make up the economic difference with unpaid domestic labor; an arrangement which is far from universal or pre-ordained.

    Root causes are not easily tl:dr'd

  • There is a better way. Dont ever let them make you forget. Dont forget that:

    • That the 2020 lockdowns showed us we dont need Business As Usual, the society kept turning while the planet briefly healed
    • That Child poverty dropped at the fastest rate it ever dropped
    • That until last year, more people could just have health care, right, if the government decides to just do that.
    • That evictions can just be stopped. That if we -- you know, if the government just rules it, like your landlord can't evict you.
    • That the George Floyd Uprising had Cheeto Mussolino hiding in a bunker, while the people were fighting the police in the streets and winning.
    • That Covid is now endemic because these administrations, 45 and 46 and their counterparts across the empire, buried their heads in the sand and declared it "over" when it was not

    Dont fall for the bread ans circuses. The relevative comfort and spell that it will put you under. Memory is fragile, it's written-to- by feeling emotions. So feel this. Allowing them to let you get checked out entirely is like sleepwalking off a cliff.

    Dont let the doomerism get to you. Focus on what you can change. Refuse to forget. Rest is resistance is a good book. Sending all my good vibes 💜
