@highwayman i really do hope that humans dont cause our own extinction in the near future.... i don't have anything against humans as animals, our current civilization is what's fucked. not sure about profit as the cause, or that all we have is democracy. otherwise i mostly agree. capitalism...

not to be a downer but god i sure hope human civilization is doomed because thats what its going to take for the earth to heal. the usa has been doing genocide since its existed and the left has been unable to stop or not interested in stopping. democracy got us here, im not counting on it to...

this site really is falling apart, huh

really though, it's useful to stop and experience the world directly. in every context, including this one. if you're relying on your own experience of being in the world instead of stories told by the media, you will see that the world isnt divided into periods based on the current president...

What kind of culture are you building with your tribe? How is it different from "homesteading" projects? The way you phrase your messages makes me wonder if you've coming from an anti-civilization perspective :?

I haven't seen any simple definition of fascism that adequately describes it, it's a complicated phenomenon. I think the primary goal of fascism is control, and its primary method is fear of the other. the fascist project always includes a centralization of power in the name of safety, and...

I'm looking around wondering where the radicals are... For real tho bernie isn't going to make this country not fascist

Thank you @dumpsternavel, I've had a lack of confidence when it comes to other people but that comes with experience I guess... and holy shit @Chimpsarereal i love your designs. that shading is really great too, so tricky to get it right

Absolutely love your shit @CloudyESTL Had to post links to the images due to phone issues but I do a fuckton of stick n pokes! Mostly on myself and my partner but I've been thinking about getting a bunch of clean implements and trying to make some money doing stuff for randos...

Thank you both for the info! Definitely going to check out 924 gilman... it looked like east bay rats just now closed/moved location so that's unfortunate timing :(

@roughdraft it's interesting that you're only pointing out people who are here trying to speak for trans people's needs. i keep saying this, other people keep saying this, but standards of "civility" aren't applied equally. or rather, you can be as transphobic and misogynistic as you like, but...

kinda fucked up to rate queer people by how much shit they'll put up with

my partner and i are going to be in the bay area for a few weeks, anyone know any good shows to see while we're there? or poetry readings, if anyone's into poetry?

i am indeed an anarchist, and J Lupo is right that anarchists i've known don't particularly worry about people telling others to shut up. if verbally encouraging people to not talk is suppressing free speech, then we're all guilty of that.

@Older Than Dirt you're making stuff up at this point. come on, we're posting on a forum, i'm not going to send the trans police to your house. i just think you're embarrassing yourself.

wow, it's really sobering to realize that I've been preventing people from expressing their opinions. I guess that's why nobody's been arguing with me. seriously though, do you actually believe me saying mean things is equivalent to state censorship?

to clarify: you're far from the worst here, i don't think you're especially transmisogynistic compared to many people. it's just that the entirety of society is transphobic and transmisogynistic. when trans people are hurt it's just business as usual, a difference of opinions. "a difference of...

@Older Than Dirt I don't think you recognize how much the things you say hurt trans people. believe it or not, this thread would be less painful to read if it was full of people calling me an asshole rather than full of transmisogyny

everyone's identity / relationship to labels is unique but i can at least clarify that trans includes or can include nonbinary. it's not like every trans person agrees with me, there's been a lot of fighting about it. speaking from my own perspective the trans people who would exclude nonbinary...

it's funny how real anarchists don't tell anyone to shut up but instead speculate about banning people for speaking their mind.... i've been lurking on squat the planet for a few months now and honestly i've been hesitant to post much here. i do travel and the resources here seem decent but it's...

oh yes, it's not anarchist of me to tell cis people to shut up. it is however, very anarchist to tell me to stop telling cis people to shut up. and it's cis people because the only alternative term cis people offer is "normal" cis people constantly tell trans people that they're forcing...

what does not being into feelings mean? why would you bothing having debates, if you didn't feel some excitement or joy in doing so? or if you want greater knowledge and reason, what purpose does it serve if it doesn't bring you happiness? we seem to have a difference in values, only you...

i'm sorry you were offended by my feelings @benton

trans people, or transgender people

@croc you said it... it's exhausting trying to educate at any moment when you're just trying to live. just gonna say one more thing, don't fucking call people trannies. it's hard to believe this is the first time you're hearing this, but it's a slur.

i don't give a shit about understanding if the goal isn't making queer people safer. if i'm going to be somewhere i'll do my best to make it an okay place to exist, and that includes spreading understanding. but it's more about understanding who's a shithead and avoiding them than convincing...

the sheer bullshit in this thread.... if you're not willing to refer to trans people in the (gendered) way they want to be referred to, all you're doing is hurting them. you're not being gender-neutral, you're just ignoring someone's agency. gender is nearly impossible to escape. i have never...

trans woman here. if you wanna use she/her and call yourself a woman, go for it. trans women aren't some special category of person that never fuck up.... going into denial and replicating abuse isn't even that uncommon, i've known plenty of other trans people who did the same at one point. i...
