Peter Thiel's lackeys were behind the federal "Real ID" ruse that has gone nowhere in adoption among Americans.
so instead of trying harder to get a "show your papers" system in place so fascists like him can create systems upon systems of digital slavery (because big data as surveillance is one manifestation of that), Thiel bought himself a POTUS

Arise, wretched of the earth Arise, convicts of hunger Reason thunders in its volcano This is the eruption of the end Of the past let us wipe the slate clean Slave masses, arise, arise The world is about to change its foundation We are nothing, let us be everything
REMINDER: corporatism IS fascism. USA's political elites are controlled by unelected corporatist oligarchs for whom politics isn't about party or nation but business. checkout how the DNC wants to price out the little people from their fundraisers. this is literal corporate capture but with political parties because oligarchs only care about the state violence they can capture & profit from.
IF YOU ARE WHITE AND IN A SWING #ElectoralCollege DISTRICT, GO TO WORK
it's not Darnell from the Bronx's job to get your neighbors to the polling places.
especially if they're young or Black or both. that's your job.
don't berate BIPOC or LGBTQI people online for telling you the truth about the fascism in this country: it's always been here, it's just been called Manifest Destiny, white supremacy, racism, homophobia, sexism.
so go to work. we all have different #antifascist work to do
VOTING IS HARM REDUCTION it's not a mandate when the opposition is fascist and the billionaire donors of your party's elite as part of that fascist opposition.
VOTING FOR POTUS ONLY MATTERS IN SWING #ElectoralCollege PRECINCTS not having direct democracy is why it's easy for oligarchs to buy themselves a party. even the Greens, btw.
so don't worry about some shmuck in NYC not voting. worry about people not voting in fucking Maricopa county.
you're white in the South? STFU & hit the pavement
YES, NO REPUBLICAN SHOULD ENTER THE WHITE HOUSE IN A CENTURY
but if all Dems are gonna be like Biden? then neither should the corporatist bootlickers of the Democratic Party.
and that's why i insist in making a distinction between them and people like AOC or Rashid. especially, Bloomberg's existential threat, Elizabeth Warren.
and then there's Bernie Sanders who was smart enough to leave the party back in the day because he knew the fuckery that was Clintonism.
THIS IS WHY SELF-CARE IS POLITICAL WARFARE because there was never a democracy after all and the job will not be done come November.
it's just that you chose to pretend racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, classism โall the social and political and economic hates and phobiasโ had nothing to do to with #fascism.
yet here we are.
so prepare yourself to fight Biden & his brand of Democrats even harder for the bare minimum. they'll sell everybody out for a bad #abortion win
BUT REMEMBER: VOTING IS HARM REDUCTION that means you won't be able to delude yourself that you are done just by voting.
let me say it again, with the chest:
๐ฃ๏ธ VOTING IS HARM REDUCTION. YOUR #ANTIFA WORK IS NOT DONE BY JUST VOTING.
you know this has always been true, but now, you cannot continue pretending it was "those other people's problem". we didn't even have to tell you. Biden has shown his true political face and it's ugly.
so prepare to not rest until you stomp the last fascist
AND WHY AM CALLING Y'ALL WHITE PEOPLE OUT especially if y'all out in the south? because more White people voted for Trump, a Republican, in 2020 than at any time in USA history. in the middle of a pandemic. after sitting at the last minute another illegitimate SCOTUS justice to the bench, Amy Barret Cohen, a woman who is literally in her thiclose to heretical flavor of Catholicism, a handmaiden.
61% of white men and 55% of white women voted for Trump in 2020.
@aral i really really love this. i was perusing your & your partners sites and am now intrigued. i have to spend a day looking into what y'all built with your foundation. i love the idea of web0. and i agree: everybody should have the ability to have a small static site. that used to be the case back in the wild west days of internet providers. with consolidation and monopoly, it was one of the first things to be disappeared. we need to legislate that back.
@Gargron@benroyce ugh, this is why am not an EU politics expert, LOL. thanks for the correction.
FWIW i never took seriously when people described him like +20 years ago as being obsessed with wanting to re-write EU history as a RU history but, WOW, were they right about that.
