I'm responding to your comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9696575 Like I mentioned earlier in that thread, most armed clashes between antifa and fascists are probably in Russia. There are more recent ex

Hi, I wanted to respond to your comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9719648 It's true that most of the left is sadly ignorant of such concepts, but the reason my own praxis has developed so far beyond th

It is not possible for anyone to understand what definition of any word anyone is using. Regardless of dictionaries human concepts are organic and subjective and very difficult to communicate. The entirety of human art is based on this conc

>How does one distinguish a "fascist talk" from a "technical talk presented by one accused of being a fascist"? Well, pragmatically, the difference is immaterial, because to maximize the memetic intensity of anti-fasc

I would not call Moldbug obscure; neo-reactionaryism is growing especially in tech circles and legitimizing its source is a dangerous act, not because he will seize power given the platform, but because it communicates a lack of concern wit

The wikipedia history for ARA itself is a pretty reductive list of actions compared to all ARA-aligned actions. Again, I mentioned ARA because they popularized the tactic of shutting down meetings by pressuring hotels (which is not to say t

The "new" black panthers exist, but as a former actual black panther I know says, I don't see their breakfast programs. Antifa did and do routinely disrupt fascist actions with physical force and frequently got (and get) shot

Well, it's a high-stakes game. As Benjamin Franklin said, you hang together or your hang separately. But far more put there by the state, make no mistake. It's not like there haven't been plenty of purges and organized campai

Dictionaries are descriptions, not proscriptions, of words. I'm not "using" any definition of fascism other than the one I've built up in my own mind based on my own lived experiences. I'm not going to be questioned

Yes, communism is certainly a dead horse these days. It's a little disappointing to me, but then I was never an electoralist and would never have taken either of those parties seriously. It's a little hilarious to read "I kno

I'm sure you've studied these political ideologies extensively (though my political ideology is pretty obviously very far from the ones you've listed). But it doesn't seem like you've ever questioned the sacred cow

>Would it not be better to work towards nobody feeling such fear? But that isn't the hypothetical. Do you understand the concept? Certainly if I had a faeries & unicorns switch I'd hit that as well, but we don't always

Do you think that white nationalists don't take guns to their protests and marches? Do you think when the KKK meets, they're unarmed? It's hilarious to me that you seem to think leftists could set off an arms race. Also, what

Yeah, that wouldn't make very much sense. Far more revolutionaries have been on the guillotine than behind it.

Responding under a throwaway. I've been involved in anti-racist/anti-fascist work, either directly or on the periphery, for about ten years at this point. This takes many forms, from street confrontations with fascists, protests a
