The #microbiology society has a very curious system. So there are eukaryotes, prokaryots, viruses and Irish, do I get it right?
Friends, I don’t know how to explain this any more simply: there can be no such thing as an anarchist prison.
Either there is some coercive institution with a privileged relationship to violence that can put you in a cage, or there isn’t.
Prisons are not some neutral tool that could theoretically be used by a community for self-defense from aggressors, but just so happen to be used everywhere by states as tools of oppressive rule.
They *are* oppressive rule.
“But how will we deal with murderers and rapists without prisons” THEY DON’T DO THAT NOW
This ‘Elon leaving politics’ story is such bullshit. Another example of the media being stenographers instead of reporting. Musk is seeding this story in order to try to stem the hemorrhaging at Tesla. He’s already said that he will ‘have to’ remain involved with DOGE to stop the ‘massive fraud and waste’ he’s uncovered from coming ‘rushing back’ the second he leaves.
Stop repeating his lies.
As a non-binary person, I've long believed that equality laws are flawed to begin with, because my own existence wasn't recognised.
Now I plan to fight.
One day, I will have passed what I call the Gender Nullification Act, which will erase all legal distinction of sex or gender, recognising only medical differences.
We will not have separation of the genders, or sexes. We will recognise the intellectual, creative and personal freedoms deserved by everyone.
Intersex people will be recognised.
I think its high time institutions get some of the violation they have been pressing onto us. Do something of a rewrite on a copyleft license like sysbase opensource license, and make it nc while you're at it.
The question
“under anarchism, how would you stop criminals?”
is predicated on the false assumption that the state meaningfully exists to fight “crime” in some abstract sense of people doing illegitimate harm to each other.
It doesn’t! The state *is* crime in the sense of people doing harm to each other. The state is an institution of harm.
So many of the popular misunderstandings of anarchism derive from an absence of a critical theory of the state.
So let's be clear, not only did Pope Francis consider trans people to be an affront to god and a rot in society, but he also held deep anti feminist views and believed women's value was in being subservient to men and not trying to hold the same level of authority as them. Not really someone I'm going to mourn. Sorry you fell for his repainted "hate the sin love the sinner" line about gay people
