Copying a post I just made on Masto

I’m going to start right off by saying, I am not advocating for anybody to do anything stupid.

But I feel like we have a very deeply ingrained caution about what some people call “adventurism,” or others call “propaganda of the deed.” Nobody ever makes the case against it.

I won’t spend too much time reiterating the argument for caution. I think it is reckless for somebody to take it upon themselves to throw kerosene into the fire. To unilaterally commit an act of antagonism which will surely cause blowback.

But as far as the manifold problems facing the western left go, “too much adventurism” has got to be at the very bottom off the list. There actually is an appetite for vigilante class justice. You can see it in the volcano of catharsis which erupts after events like Trump catching Covid, Shinzo Abe being vaporized, the Billionaire submarine implosion, and now, the assassination of the United Health CEO.

The proletariat is openly celebrating, while the bourgeois politicians and television news anchors bitterly clutch their pearls. The response to the killing is overwhelmingly positive, and in it, the class lines could not be drawn any more clearly.

This is NOT an essay titled “The Case for Adventurism.” Just a reflection on the changing social climate.

Damn dude, shooting someone has to be traumatizing. I hope the shooter is able to recover okay.

so wholesome. He got away, too

The 2016 time loop theory is being reinforced by everyone reverting to Guillotine posting.

If you’re on Bluesky - you could check him out. He posts about a lot of stuff. His focus gaming and fixing old school hardware and creating electric gadgets. I’m not into any of those things but sometimes he somehow makes them appealing for me.

I have seen so many innocent and heroic people die senselessly over the last year that I watched this a dozen times before realizing I was totally unbothered by seeing someone killed.

Does the ruling class raise that the insensitivity they have foisted upon us is going to blow back against them?

Shit not an ounce of panic. That’s wild. Enters and leaves like a fucking ghost.

This Bluesky post is the source of the video - https://subium.com/profile/falconryfinance.bsky.social/post/3lcitxs2yac27 - two things…

1. I’m shocked at how gleeful the thread is.

2. I’m even more shocked that Bluesky hasn’t nuked the post. It’s been up for 2 hours. And it doesn’t even have a content warning.

Goodbye sweet post for you are dead.

death to every health insurance executive. die screaming

fuck i have a great idea for a music video with this footage and Motionless in White’s Slaughterhouse I

I bullied a couple of media libs and they blocked/muted me. I fully expected them to but it still makes me laugh! They’re the sort of libs who are utterly mystified why people hate the media. Look at this peal-clutching shit.

The editor-in-chief of Mother Jones…

We can all hate insurance companies without cheering the murder of someone or worse, trying to monetize content about that murder. Really gross day on the internet today.

The “founder & reigning monarch at Talking Points Memo”…

It’s really sickening. Made a comment wondering if it cld have been tied to something corporate. and started with a kind of throwaway line abt every murder being a tragedy and was swarmed with replies abt it being awesome, do it more etc. just a kind of revolting cosplay tough-guyism.
