  • Came up with it myself, not to brag. I was using this one printer and I didn’t want to print out too much. It wasn’t that it was easier to read, just that it was easier to print. I also split the pages into four using a setting on the printer that does that.

    Really, I’d take influence from some Anarchist zines (yes I know Anarchists are a bit cringe) and how they are short pamphlets, with some graphics, promoting a particular idea. They seem to know printing really well.





  • I hate both what is happening in Venezuela, and what ICE is doing. It’s all exhausting. My problem is that Liberals will worry about people with no criminal record (you can get one by shoplifting once) getting deported, but not necessarily people with a criminal record. I was hoping seeing people being brutalized simply for being criminals would get Liberals to sympathize with criminals, but instead, there is only the language of “ICE is criminal, Trump is criminal, the inevitable trajectory of Capitalism that I see affecting the law is criminal”. I smell plenty of fear from Liberals despite their claims to show none.




  • This is gunboat diplomacy ripped from the age of empires and dragged, screaming, into a world that has outgrown it.

    Gunboat diplomacy never went away, its perpetrators just used other justifications for the same thing. Fighting communism (Korea, Vietnam) and terrorism (Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen), claiming that countries are “dictatorships” and have to be liberated (Iraq, Libya, Cuba), using mercenary groups like the Contras (Nicaragua), having presidents do it and then meekly apologize (W. Bush, Obama), claiming that countries are developing nuclear weapons (Iraq, Iran) have all happened, and I consider it identical to gunboat diplomacy. The tactics are almost entirely identical (invasion, overthrow, installing dictatorships), and its causes are the same (resources to be delivered to Imperial countries).

    There is however obvious evidence of these excuses being more and more flimsy, and history being rewritten. That is from the desparation of Capitalism in decay.
