if discord didn't want children exposed to their vast unmonitored messaging service they could stop marketing sparkly ad powered virtual currency to them for the purpose of better flaunting "I am fourteen years old and credulous" in official public megaservers. just a suggestion.

the discord ID verification thing isn't bad because discord have a track record of exposing people's personal data. it's bad because they have absolutely no right to demand your personal data in the first place. stop driving me up the wall with this talking point.

it's very counter-intuitive to everything we're culturally taught about the basic practical necessity of authority, it demands a mindset shift. which is probably why so many people share the classic "turns out I was already an anarchist, I just didn't know that's what anarchism was" journey

yeah, I've found people struggle to wrap their head around anarchism as social theory/praxis without a 'party' to maintain orthodoxy. from that perspective anarchist writing looks self-contradictory and disorganised. the fluidity and possibility of it has to be experienced to make sense, I think.

a friend once grumbled to me "why do MLs always expect other people to read all their favourite theory first before they'll have a conversation, when I've never met a ML who's done any anarchist reading" and I said, well, because MLs who read anarchist theory become anarchists

the thing is literally anyone who pays attention to how empires end can make the same predictions, and this has been true for thousands of years. but a core aspect of empire is that most people inside it think the guys in charge have solved Forever Power this time for real

the thing that has really been fucking with me is that when Jan 6 was happening and I was talking to american friends about what I saw as the terminal stage of empire collapse I said pretty much word for word "I give the US in its current form maybe five more years"

"um actually the fact they got Epstein in the end and these files were released for us to read proves–" it proves that anyone can get away with anything until the second they cease to be useful to people with access to that hierarchical power.

... I need you to recognise that, much like luigi mangione being brought to trial at all, this is inarguable evidence that a hierarchical system of law is impotent to deal with abuses of hierarchical power.

I don't want you to read all this Epstein shit and think "it's outrageous that the law is not applied equally to these monsters" or even "we must introduce new laws that hold these people to higher scrutiny"...
