“Leftist Violence”

So, that charlie kirk guy got shot. The US Gov’t sat on its collective balls again and is shut down. While looking up some info related to me and the gov’t RE: nunya, I came across this thing:

Now, this is interesting. So, when I was what I’ll call a “baby commie”, I was all like:

  • if you go far enough left you get your guns back
  • “Under no pretext” said Marx
  • SHUT THE FUCK UP TERF
  • TERFS GET THE WALL
  • (endless jokes about trebuchets)
  • (bullshit about guillotines)

What fueled most of this for me (and possibly others) was mainly a seething impotent rage at being pushed to waste the best years of my life at jobs that didn’t give a damn about me to barely afford something that resembled something like a life.

Work.

Rent.

Pay bills.

Eat slop.

Die.

The whole drive behind the horrifically violent jokes for me was… I was already facing and have already faced horrific violence. I wanted something different and better. Also, when I made those jokes, I had not yet taken the time to look at myself in the mirror and ask myself if I was okay with being truly responsible for carrying out any of those acts on anyone. That was stuff I was saying from around 2015 to 2019. Then Nashville happened. A full four years after 2019. And I wrote about wanting a world where weapons don’t exist. Like some kind of violent weirdo…? Who apparently wants people to talk their problems out and barring that, just duke it out with their bare hands? In that case, though, their hands would become weapons and thus a means by which to dominate, which would then be antithetical to the entire reason I wrote that little manifesto, so…

…I think at the end of the day people like this “Hammer” dude want us to keep ideas of violence in the realm of DCAP-BTLS (see below) and not think of violence as things like poverty, hunger, or determining who does or does not get access to social spaces and how and for what reasons… which is super fucked.
