I'm nearing 500 followers, which is really cool. Thanks for following me, whether it's because of my Linux stuff, Debian, Buddhism, anarchism, syndicalism, or because you support me being gender-fluid and bisexual.
If you feel like sharing this, that's awesome. Maybe I'll hit 500 by the weekend. Thanks again! I genuinely appreciate all of you, except for fascist scum, who get blocked immediately.

@MastodonEngineering @chaosexanima 「Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that seeks to abolish all institutions that perpetuate authority, coercion, or hierarchy, primarily targeting the state and capitalism. Anarchism advocates for the replacement of the state with stateless societies and voluntary free associations.」
In the current climate of rising global authoritarianism and military-expansionism I might be inclined to preserve our (union of) sovereign nation states and their hierarchies (including democratic representation) for a little bit longer at least.

's valid critique of American Liberals denying genocide, but also critique Noah for not critiquing Hasan Piker or Soc Dems nearly enough. I also introduce and promote my own work (my book series, essays and interviews).
Hey all, just a heads up: I'm an anarcho-syndicalist with a passion for freedom software, Debian GNU/Linux. I carry a bootable Debian USB drive with me, so if you're running Windows, you might want to keep your laptop closed around me. 
I'm not saying I'd ever "accidentally" wipe your Windows install with a dose of open source, but... well, actually, I'm not promising anything either.
Yes, I have political takes, talk Linux, and share LGBTQIA+ content.
Today in Labor History March 24, 1919: Poet and activist Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born. Ferlinghetti is most well-known for his book of poetry, “A Coney Island of the Mind” (1958) and for cofounding City Lights bookstore and publishing, in San Francisco. The authorities arrested him for publishing Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” because they deemed it obscene. However, a jury acquitted him in 1957. Politically, Ferlinghetti considered himself an anarchist. His politics were influenced by Anarchist poet and IWW member Kenneth Rexroth.

"In der Archäologie ist traditionell die Vorstellung verbreitet, dass größere Menschenmengen sich nur mit hierarchischer Kontrolle organisieren ließen.
Unsere Cucuteni-Trypillia-Gesellschaften [5.050 bis 2.950 v.Chr. im heutigen Osteuropa] sind das Gegenbeispiel: Sie sind zu ihrer Zeit die wohl größten Siedlungen, aber ihre egalitären Strukturen haben sehr wohl große Menschenmengen als Gesellschaft zusammengehalten.
Die Vorstellung, Hierarchie sei immer notwendig, ist also anscheinend nicht richtig."

This brings us to anarchism, which may be described as the doctrine that all the affairs of men should be managed by individuals or voluntary associations, and that the state should be abolished.
