It's visible, I agree. In the US. But that was just recently. Within the last year. People just need to learn that rioting doesn't work here... stand proud but carry a big stick. That's what works here

Pacifism and posturing tends to be bad revolutionary praxis, in my reading of history, at least.

Tike to shitpost

Time

Here's some free gifs

Leftbook is the dumbest fucking shit

Don't get me wrong. I like the idea of pacifism. Veganism too. But when you really think about it, both are idealism.

I wouldn't support open borders in the context of the current system

I hate the way these anarchists look idk why

Edgy

@olev Why not?

It would lower wages

And there'd probably be a large flood of immigration

Please remind me of you ideology.

Yeah I haven't made up my mind about things but Idk about open borders

Anarcho-collectivist/communist

But there wouldn't be a large amount of immigration

Since they are not fleeing from oppression

Open borders with a People's Glorious Borsch Truck on every corner

Why would there be a large flood of immigration?

If we had open borders today?

Well, why the fuck would you want to live in shit living conditions if you can just freely move to somewhere better?

to seek wealth

This is why collectivists are labour aristocrats.

You want to hoard it for yourself.

On the flip side though, people having higher wages would prolong the capitalist illusion

And that pleases you?

I'm saying that it's the problem

hence why I said on the flip side

Cool.

I hope you understood my critique.

I do understand it

I have not thought about borders much

There's many things I haven't though much about, I'm still learning

Me too.

It's been a while: but on the topic of Pacifism v. Direct Action/rioting: There's not a lot of use of pacifism in history as I've read it to warrant ever calling it a succesful thing to do, or if it ever lead to anything happening on its own. In recent cases you could compare the results of the Occupy Wallstreat movement which was wholly peaceful vs the riots of Ferguson. Occupy lead to nothing going on, and in the long-game sense of it lead to a class of economically frustrated individuals that lead to Bernie and Trump, and when Bernie was booted out of the election then Trump became the momentary standard barrer for people dissatisifed with the economic direction. But in the end: Trump filled his White House with the same Wall Street people that got us into the mess before.

Compared against the Ferguson riots, which put so much in the way of danger that the fastest way to deescalate was to bow to the pressure of force and inact immediate reforms to try and heal the wounds. In a metaphorical sense, Ferguson became an open sore that festered and needed to be treated while Occupy was a simple cut that healed up on its own.
