The right to access must necessarily include the right not to access. Freedom of religion is meaningless if you’re not also free to reject religion. Freedom of speech is meaningless if you’ve no right to remain silent. etc.
ok bye
if you can get something long and slender and relatively strong you can usually destroy the speaker.
edit: don’t stick your dick in the speakerbox.
jfc. tyler robinson is alleged to be the shooter. the fbi is mishandling the public presentation of allegations and supposed evidence to produce a narrative effectively biasing the entire public against robinson, mistrialing before he even gets a court date.
give that attitude to the employer, dick
repairing a blown head gasket in a car is often a repair that costs more than the car would be worth. maybe that’s what they meant?
The damned thing is I really like history, I thought I hated it for the longest time but it turns out I was just badly taught. I just feel like… i’m not trying to join a book club.
my experience with the local com.par. was that they were mostly interested in re-hashing the history of russia and selling books and t-shirts… i’ll check out dsa i suppose.
Don’t judges issue legal opinions? Don’t legal opinions constitute what makes up legal facts (ie not facts about a case, or facts about a person, but facts about what constitutes law)? Did not opinions about what ought to be the law determine what was actually written in the constitution? Hasn’t changing public opinion provoked changes in the constitution with time?
I agree, the popular appeal of a belief is not relevant to whether that belief is well-founded.

Individuals have to act in concert. They need to collaborate, coordinate their actions, and provide support to one another. It isn’t enough for a million people to wake up one morning and say “We’re not going to take it anymore” without any understanding of who their peers are or what they’re doing.
okay, fine, but i- we- need a nexus of nucleation. i’m not seeing any evidence of such.

edit: especially among professional lawyers…
I strongly disagree.
“Oh, you should have just fought harder” is more a cavalier one-liner than a political perspective.
that’s a hard point i’ll give you that one, that’s a stumper. it’s a bit of a caricature, but it’s also a reasonable reflection of my position. i really do think people need to stand up and fight but i’ll be goddamned if I know what that even begins to look like here, let alone how to tell people to start laying down their lives for a cause.
yeah, well, the problem is I think that not forming some sort of effective resistance constitutes complicity. i’d rather be damned for what I do than what I didn’t do, personally.
there’s a really cool art bar near me that i think is going to be the thing i miss the most when i leave… if i can leave…
