I know lots of people have been using it recently to view pages from government websites which are being systematically removed. I’ve been worried recently that with all these escalations and censorship, and the fact that Elon is currently staging a coup- such a resource like the internet archive could also be wiped entirely. What do you think?

Reactionaries don't just pass legislation against marginalized people out of personal dislike alone. They are also motivated by systemic reasons to maintain class society and destroy class solidarity.

Okay, let’s start some discourse: I really don’t think Christianity is even remotely favored under capitalism, at least not anymore. Christianity is a tool that a lot of fascists use to make people compliant, and while fascism and capitalism are bedfellows more often than not, Christianity is fundamentally not in capital’s interests. Do you think a single one of these Silicon Valley techbros has ever been to church? Hell no. You can see it in the way they idealize race and “culture” above “morality”. (These are both bs metrics but they are the intersection where fascism and capitalism overlap). They idealize the Roman Empire as a beacon of western power while never stopping to consider that their precious “culture” has as much to do with Roman paganism as it does with Christianity: fuck all. Meanwhile, Christians, real honest to god CHRISTIAN christians, dream of somewhere to care for their family. Their ideals are humble if not misplaced a lot of the time. They do not dream of the accumulation of wealth. No, one cannot serve two gods, one cannot be both a servant to their faith as well as a servant to capital.

Christianity has been neutered. Mega pastors pervert the word of god so that they can fly in private jets and supply enough hush money for anyone unlucky enough to know them truly. You want to see real Christianity? Look at the shelters christians run. Look at the quakers actively suing Trump for his immigration crackdown. That is the power of faith and it’s a shame that evangelical lapdogs have twisted it into something so evil.

and just so you KNOW I have no horse in this race: I myself am an ex catholic and current eclectic pagan. I have my fair share of religious trauma, having been queer and catholic in the Midwest. I hope that helps give my words some weight.

Edit: so, given a lot of discussion and a bit of thought, I feel the need to clarify my stance. I believe that any attempt to subject Christian scripture to a capitalist viewing requires a revision to said scripture. This is separate from the church as an institution and the many different followers of the many different kinds of Christianity.

To further clarify, I am not saying Christianity is good or that I agree with its power structures. I am just saying that it does not uphold the cold determinism that capitalism requires by virtue of the story of Jesus Christ and the role of wealth in much of the scripture I’m familiar with.

Edit 2: I’m gonna do a bit more thinking about this. I think sentimentality has corrupted my logic here. The idea that there is some “pure,” “unaltered,” Christianity is foolish, and I see the trap I’ve fallen into with that. Christianity is, has always been, and will always be the consequences it brings about. To try and implant some grand higher intention overtop of that, to try and justify it is also pretty foolish. Thanks for the input everyone!

Most other subs are just an Echochamber full of dog whistles, gaslighting, and virtual signaling. No free thought allowed. If you don't agree with them they bann, at least here, people can be themselves...

Answer to communist-hater post https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchy4Everyone/s/VdZ9oPXx5M

The answer is no he never claimed anarchism as his ideology, but actions speak louder than words. He was not very politically motivated and in fact he rode with many people whose political instincts were much more in tune with Collectivism and Anarchism than his. But all the same he rode with the proletariat to overthrow and free(?) the entire city of Chihuahua from the Managers of the hacendados. I'd like to see this groups thoughts on this figures hidden ideology! Thanks!

I made a subreddit (as douchy as it is) to try to get Northern Kentucky punks and like minded people together to organize protests and community assistance/outreach in our area but I really need help. r/nkyrebellion is the subreddit and I need a good community of people so we can try to do someone. Anything. Hopefully this does get deleted. I appreciate any help
