To *not* be aggressively building tens of millions of additional housing units in every city in the global north and opening all borders is to be directly and actively planning the biggest genocide in human history.
Anyone pro national borders is a straight up genocidaire.
Billions of people are currently surviving in temperatures between 45 and 50C. This is "only" at a 1.5C global increase. At 2C, these regions will become unbearable for long periods of the year. The lack of a coherent plan for this is shocking. #Mitigation is urgent.

As someone who has firsthand witnessed the way zionist indoctrination is used to radicalize Jews against Palestine, I wanted to make a 🧵 of things that helped me unlearn what I had been taught to hopefully help people deprogram themselves or their loved ones

Social minarchism
(Neologism)
Advocacy of a decentralized cooperative economy made up of worker self managed enterprises and direct-democratic neighbourhood assemblies, with a minimal state taking care of foreign affairs and national defence.

The term minarchism is usually used by right-wing free marketeers.
By adding the qualifier "social", the left could steal it from the right, just as they stole the word libertarian from the left.

QUESTION
Do I still count as an anarchist?
On one hand, I still consider anarchism to be the greatest wellspring of good political ideas that humanity has been able to come up with, and I also think a social anarchist movement is essential to push things forward ...

In fact, looking back, I'm not sure if I ever REALLY believed anarchism was sufficient in itself.
So maybe this is just me being brutally honest with myself about what I've always truly believed but couldn't acknowledge.

My next book is *The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.* It's a recipe to disenshittify the web and bring back the old good internet. The book is from @VersoBoooks, but the #audiobook is from me - because Amazon refuses to sell it:

I'm on BlueSky now for anyone who's interested.
It's nice. It's kinda like this website before it became a cesspool.
I won't be posting much here anymore.

You know you're old when you rewatch early episodes of Sabrina the Teenage Witch from the 1990s and realise how insanely attractive Aunt Zelda was.

Taking climate change seriously doesn't mean abandoning cornucopian politics. We can have luxurious abundance and a higher standard of living for everyone within the limits of the planet.

Then it needs to collapse. If you can't figure out how to pay your workers a full, living wage and share some profit while grossing billions, paying yourself hundreds of millions, and making wall street analysts happy with your numbers, your industry needs to be fucking rubble.

Kids, this is what you turn into when you never learn how to argue but do learn a whole load of useless psychology speak.

I think we should ditch the term upper-middle class and replace it with lower-upper class.
Because their role in society and the economy is far more of a commanding one than the category of the "middle" would suggest.
That top 20% (outside the richest 1%) are the surplus elite.

These climate protesters are showing more courage than I’ve literally EVER seen from a politician
The politicians would rather we all burn up than take on their fossil fuel industry donors
Looking at you Rick Larsen WA02 (D-Exxon)
Please don't kill peaceful protesters for blocking your vehicle!
You don't have to stay calm, but assault is illegal.
Protesters don't like that they have to do this either.
But they are desperate because nothing really worked the past 40 years.
