I dont have a problem with criticism of the far left. As a radical leftist I have plenty myself. My problem is the false equivalency between people who do shit like this and people like my comrades and I. The time to be on the fence is gone. The time to propagate that psuedo intellectual...

https://www.mockingbirdpaper.com/content/historic-civil-rights-center-burns-ground-nazi-graffiti-found-scene-police-refuse-call-it People are on here arguing about how "radical leftists" are fascists but you guys dont see us doing shit like this. How many people are gonna get hurt before I stop...

Sounds like you're primed for a great adventure! Welcome conrad!

Well, there are workarounds for that depending on your situation. If you're staying in one place for a while itd be fairly easy. My library's databases are accessible remotely so all you need in a case like that is to have gotten a library card while you do have a permanent residence, then you...

The rich. Your move prison industrial complex

When I was there food not bombs was extremely difficult to track down (though multiple people I met assure me they did feeds). We did get our hands on this book and it was quite helpful though: https://www.wttin.org/ The homeless shelter there has hard copies. If you're gonna be there a while...

I agree with the main sentiment but equality for all was absolutely NOT a founding American value. I'm fact it was fairly explicitly equality for (landed) white men. Also, your political beliefs can absolutely warrant being treated as lesser than or being intimidated. These fucking "alt right"...

Dude it sucks that the cops busted you guys but shit happens sometimes. Every single one of us has had run ins with them. I mean, caution is necessary but sometimes you can't help it or they win that round. Try to learn from it and not beat yourself up too much. As to the powers that be...

So, I'm planning a trip this spring and it'll be my first time heading out to the west coast. I know bears are more of a problem there than they are in the places I've spent time in so basically I'm trying to figure out how to deal with storing my food and other bear-attracting items. How...

Welcome! Always excellent to see more queer trans folx around here! I'll be on the road again in a few months, maybe we'll cross paths!

Look, I'm not saying I WANT the govenment to seize emergency powers but I think all who wander has a point. He's not saying anything statist or fascist, he's just espousing accelerationist theory. I definitely think accelerationism is valid anarchist theory. I personally think our best bet is to...

If you plan on hiking/backpacking I definitely suggest you do so in more forgiving climates (like the Florida trail suggestion) since it seems you don't have much experience and a serious winter trek can be dangerous even for experienced hikers. Make sure your basics are covered (have a plan for...

I just went and my folks accepted it cause they knew regardless of their feelings I had made up my mind. For me, travelling was less scary than not leaving cause I strongly believed if I stayed around another winter I might off myself. All I can really tell you though is that in a lot of ways...

I feel you dude. This city can be fucking toxic. I just broke up with both my partners and lost my job, a big part of me wants to get the fuck out of here at least for a while. I mean, I can't cause Id be fucking over someone else by doing so, but I've been saying I need a break from Cincinnati...

The way I kinda figured it was that I was never gonna sit there and pick something for too long. If it doesn't open with the rake and wrench I'd go on to plan b

I have practiced lock picking a bit but from what I've read, bump keys are the way most people go for getting into buildings. Much easier and quicker

Holy shit, I liked one of Coywolf's posts; it MIGHT be the apocalypse, maybe this dude got that bit right lol Honestly though, That's not even that crazy. I knew a fuck ton of people just like this when I was growing up Christian. The crazy part is how many people actually believe that kind of...

Well, except enby people exist? As well as demi women/men, gender fluid people, questioning people, and many many others. Basically that's a little simplistic. Also, trans people didn't "used to be a (insert gender assigned at birth)" unless of course said trans person identifies that way, but...

As an amab enby person, I have been called "amab" as coded language for "man" on many occasions and I gotta say, that shit is wack. It is hardly ever relevant what someone's assigned gender was, or what bits and pieces they have. In short, if it's relevant or you need to know, WE WILL TELL YOU...

I carried the Sawyer one with me but didn't use it one time hahaha. Still, I'm an emergency I'd probably stay way better hydrated if I had a filter than if I had to boil all my water, so for the few ounces it weighs, I'd definitely pack it again

When I was on the road I carried a tiny little folder. A Kershaw remix maybe? And a P38. A few times I wished I'd had something with a little more blade for carving/whittling stuff so I'm the future I think I'll probably take a my Mora along and a folder that's just a bit bigger. I also have a...

Second on crimethinc stuff, it's my favorite. I also recommend their podcast, The Ex-Worker. It was my introduction into radical politics

well, at the time we thought I just ran out of coolant so we were putting in coolant and bleeding the air out. It looks like there's a more major leak though. probably just a hose but I'm not 100% sure

Well, my fiance's two year old has been calling her Leeda so it looks like that's her name now haha

Or more accurately a floof found me. She came right up to me and my homie while we were trying to fix my car. She's so tiny and adorable and friendly and I'm basically only posting about this cause I'm so stoked about my new pal.

oh hey look, a capitalist who doesn't think capitalism/THE ECONOMIC DOMINATION OF MOST OF HUMANITY is a power structure or violence LOL

For most "apolitical" people I meet, I think that's true. However, I think that this kind of attitude can effect other groups as well. If you're too busy trying to survive capitalism to learn about or pay attention to politics, or even certain anarchists who define being apolitical as just not...

I'm not trying to get in an argument about voting, so I'm not gonna say too much, but I don't believe in it. Even progressive politicians only make changes as a method of pacifying direct action. If other people wanna vote, go ahead. As an anarchist, the issue of voting just isn't something...

Most anarcho-pacifists I know respect a diversity of tactics, but simply believe that violent tactics are not for them. While I think it's unlikely, I do think a peaceful revolution is possible. It would essentially just involve mass refusal to participate in hierarchy. In fact, there is a lot...

I had a dog forced on me for a while when I was on the road (my road dawg got arrested, I wasn't about to abandon his pupper). It did make me feel safe having her with me (I knew she'd wake me if anyone was around) but it was also a huge pain in the ass, a lot of worrying about her well-being...

Wow, that's awesome! I'm glad you're doing all that work comrade! I'd love to hear more about how you're building community and solidarity as that's work I'm interested in as well

The hardest thing imo is realizing that there are really no instructions or how to's; just advice and your own ingenuity. Once you have gear all you really need is food and water. That's easy enough to come by, especially if you don't have dietary restrictions. I went hungry a few times on the...

I've seen these before in various places, but the one time I actually needed one the pump was broken and deflated my tire :(

https://crimethinc.com/podcast The Ex-Worker podcast is pretty good! https://escapevelocityradio.com/ Escape Velocity Radio is by members of the band Propagandhi and covers a variety of topics Unfortunately, I think the Ex-Worker is on hiatus while they work on their news podcast and Escape...

When you say "no one deserves to be raped" but then qualify it with "but the way you dress effects how people treat you" is contradictory at best and victim blaming at worst. How is the idea that clothing isn't consent even a controversy? Of course clothing doesn't equal consent! Also, you're...

oh hey look, more men derailling the discussion to be like "but MEN too though!" (wanna throw in some "all lives matter" while you're at it?) Coywolf literally comes to troll this thread, rage quits on several posts when he doesn't have anything to actually contribute, only to come back again...

Also, you literally ignored all of Queer Coyote's questions even though that was the only thing directed at you?

I've actually made quite a few points over the course of this thread that no one has responded to, sooo?

pretending like you personally don't contribute to rape culture when you're literally on here defending victim blaming is a little asinine

I'm sorry that happened to you, it still doesn't justify you defending and perpetuating rape culture

Well, you're definitely a misogynist. I've not seen you be racist or fascist though, nor did I say so, but you can go ahead and put those words in my mouth, but I don't think they'll stick ;) Like I told that other person: feel free to hmu when you're ready to do better.

Oh, so you DO think it's women's fault that they get raped? Yeah, that's a totally okay opinion to have. Let me say it again for those of us who have burned too many holes in their brains: NO ONE DESERVES TO BE RAPED (regardless of clothing, behavior, socio-economic status, etc) Dear cis men...

Y'all need to stop being misogynist, then I'll be happy to have nothingbad to say. Also, Rooster's post is literally hate speech and fascist rhetoric, so maybe you should think about who you cape for If tolerance for misogyny is a prerequisite for membership in "this community" maybe y'all...

ALL OF THIS

Wow, so Rooster is full on fash then huh? Guess that makes sense; Don't worry, your ilk are the ones who're on the way out; we'll see to that Next you're gonna be caping for that rapist I suppose :rolleyes:

the activity you just described there: yeah, that's fucking rape. People were there and will corroborate this. You'd be much better off taking accountability for your actions rather than trying to blame shift

The lack of reaction on their part doesn't justify your sexual assault. The previous discussions about sex do not make it okay to assault someone who's passed out and therefore can't consent

Oh, well in that case, best stay away from Cincy. Might not be very safe for you

Wow, I'm sorry marginalized people demanding equity upsets you so much; why don't you go ahead and kick rocks and take your toxic male baggage with you. Hmu when you're ready to do better ;)

"Men get raped too" is a perfectly valid discussion as long as it's not derailing another discussion; feel free to start your own thread. Oh wait, you just wanted to invalidate the experiences of women? How original, we've never heard that before ::banghead:: Sexual assault is a problem that...
