I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about kids. I mentioned elimination communication and talked a bit about the fact that we left the US because cars decrease the ability of kids to be independent.

There are a few interesting connections there. Both are expressions of youth liberation. Babies don't actually want to use diapers, so forcing them to use diapers is actually pretty oppressive. But capitalism both forces people to force their children to use them, and erased the cultural knowledge that there was a way of doing things before diapers. This creates the whole problem of potty training and delays their ability to be independent. Diaper companies have pushed that age as high as 4 for a lot of kids.

Cars make it impossible for older kids to make a lot of their own decisions around transit, thus forcing them to rely on their parents.

Both of these exist to sell products that don't actually need to exist. But the real interesting thing is how diapers are almost a metaphor for car culture right now. People didn't want cars. They fought against cars and car infrastructure, but car companies destroyed mass transit and crushed resistance. Now it's time to get out of cars, and we're stuck. Humanity is shitting it's pants because it's learned to be OK with the feeling.

My kids are both potty trained now. My oldest learned to pedal her bike on her own a couple of day ago. She's starting on her own road to freedom. I hope we can create a free society for all kids some day.

Obligatory Anarcho101 Thread of threads.

In order to "not be that *reply* guy" sealioning out of ignorance when inserting yourself into interanarcho convos, I invite you kindly to do some reading.

Obviously I need to mention theanarchistlibrary.org/ by @theanarchistlibrary.org or @library and if you are in need of some litt that is copy*right* pRoTEcTED annas-archive.org/ is the link you need to bookmark, a world of litt is at your fingertips.

As mentioned, if you ain't an anarchist, or are what we *affectionaly* call an anarkiddie, or are just dabbling with the idea, before interjecting into Anarcho conversations you may want to read your way through those threads instead of coming in them with the same old "bUt If yOu aBolIsh tHe sTate wE'll gEt bAck tO wARlorDS?", "If wE dOnT hAve cOpS wHo Will pRotecT uS fRoM cRimiNals", or regurgitating your preconceptions about what constitutes: " #HumanNature ".

This thread of threads, covers a lot of those preconceptions.
Sorry if I sound bitter, I just don't have @HeavenlyPossum's patience (for Realz IDK how you do it, same goes for some of my dear moots here who have shown remarkable patience in the face of such asinine replies)

@RD4Anarchy is doing an amazing job of archiving and sourcing 101's with a dedication that can only be commended: kolektiva.social/@RD4Anarchy/1

@HeavenlyPossum is a surprisingly patient individual who should use the block button more often (be warned I don't have their patience)
They have a thread of threads which are a great intro into the basics and then more, give it a read:
kolektiva.social/@HeavenlyPoss

While we're at it, in another vein @RiotLinguistics publishes extremely on point Zines which you should def read.

Also @AnarchoNinaWrites // @AnarchoNinaAnalyzes does an amazing job of repeating the same obvious things you libs can't and won't ever hear. (Don't get in their mention unless you did the reading. And if you are picking a fight in their mentions, untag them, she fucking hates that and has enough on her plate!)

Last but not least @rechelon publish their essays on humaniterations.net/ it includes an Anarchism 101 category.
Besides that, KYLR, one of their (and other unnamed Anarchafeminists accomplices) most recent publications may clear a lot of misunderstanding if you are a "progressive" identify as a "liberal" or generally speaking are new to this whole "Anarchism thing".

@rechelon also maintains a github of #Zines going back decades, most of them are worth a read and not necessarily easy to find: github.com/rechelon/zine_libra you may want to fire up that VPN of yours and get yourself a copy!

While we're at it @hakan_geijer has published a lot of very useful zines, Riot medicine may just save your life, and if you need an intro to #opsec, they are your person.

Obviously if you don't already you should follow the peeps I mentioned, the same goes for the #MutualAid and #Begpost hashtags, donate if you can and boost when you can't.

Finally if you are the kinda person who can't deal with text, albeit it's many issues the following documentary (link in french OV and for the english subbed version see the second link -this is the one and only time you'll see me use national flags) is still a good place to start getting acquainted with our (common yet erased) history:

Anyhow, take care of one another, wear a mask, practice mutual aid, kylr, be they, do crimes (and never, ever post about the later)

You may wonder, what's the point of safety features for kids and teens, who supposedly need them because they can't self-regulate, if they can just be turned off? Why give parents the power to get their kids addicted to Instagram? The answer is that most people who make a fuss about "protecting our kids" don't actually want kids to be safe. They want parents to be able to control their kids, which means giving them the option of which dangers to expose their kids to. The question for them isn't "is this bad for kids", it's "do the parents know this is happening?"

Oh yeah, and get ready to give Mark Zuckerburg your government ID to prove you're not a second-class netizen.

"Le documentaire est connu, malheureusement il est très lissé, tres flous et n'explique pas vrmt bien

C une porte d'entrée mais malheureusement c bcp de cliché d'approximation et de romantisme 😬

En plus le type qui a fait le docus c un fils de, un fils d'anarchistes, pas un anarchiste lui même

Lui c un petit bourgeois qui surfe sur la vie de son père pour faire cool"

- @heyla

Bref, si vous êtes pas encore Anars (mais qui êtes vous? que faites vous et dans quelle etagère? On est en 2024, faut se bouger là!): Regardez Ni dieux Ni maîtres!

It has to be understood that the #protests in #Kenya are about the finance bill, but they're also about a lot more. They're about #StructuralAdjustments and #US / #IMF #neocolonialism. They're about the #military intervention in #Ayiti. They're about #YouthLiberation and building #StudentPower. They're about #solidarity for a #FreePalestine. And since there's been such intense #StateRepression against the protests, they're about the ability to protest without fear of repression.
