no, i'm a left-anarchist in the tradition of bakunin or kropotkin. it's mostly about the question of property - if you reject property, you align on the left.

it's just that in america, words don't mean what they mean everywhere else. barack obama and bernie sanders would be considered conservatives in most places, while donald trump would be considered to be decidedly liberal. the meaning of things get confused.

it's been a while since i called the lot of you conservatives, but it's still true.

pacifism, for example, is a conservative ideology. leftists believe in armed revolution, and a diversity of tactics around how to get there. i know this is confusing if you went to school here, but it's true - pacifism aligns with the religious and traditionalist types, like the quakers and orthodox jews, whereas the left is all hankering to burn the place down. now, i'll admit that bombing iraq is not the same thing as executing the pope, but there's still a fundamental point of confusion here between who is a radical pushing for change and who is a conservative trying to stop it. if you associate anti-war movements with the left, you're deeply confused. 

there's other examples; not right now. i've done it before, and i'll do it again.

to the extent that it's the really existing movements on the ground that are important rather than the abstract labels, what that means is that a person like me that tries to react to the actual meaning of words needs to be empirical - and it took me a few tries, but i've figured that out, now. chances are actually pretty good that your local socialist 101 is actually full of religious conservatives, rather than marxist or anarchist radicals. if you're looking for radicals, you're better of trying the religious groups. & etc. you've just gotta do the research, find the mapping, figure out how things actually are...

i'm done my fruit, so i'm shutting down.

but, it smells like a fucking dumpster fire in here.
and, i'll say it again.

you might think that you'd be free to smoke all day every day in a stateless society. who would stop you, right? but, i'll tell you - it's the cops that are protecting you from people that want to bang your door down and yell your face off, and drive you out of fucking town. you get rid of the state to protect you, and you won't like what happens next....
if you believed in liberty, you would respect the rights of your neighbours to sobriety, and to clean air.
you don't believe in liberty in any rational way.

you just believe in selfishness.
if you want to throw around libertarian arguments, be rigorous about it.

otherwise, what you are is a fucking nihilist - a randian objectivist, a utility monster and a piece of shit
but, listen.

that's not the point.

smoke yourself retarded. i don't give a fuck. just respect the fact that i don't want in on this and make sure your habits aren't bothering me.

it's a basic non-aggression principle - if your rights end where mine begin, that means you keep your smoke to yourself, and you take responsibility for it when people bitch about it.

this idea that you have some right to smoke wherever you want and fuck everybody else is fucking asinine.

and, every court system on the planet will uphold that it is, even if the cops in this city are fucking morons.
the un convention on the rights to smoke yourself retarded.

it's a fucking joke.
how many conventions and documents talk about the right to fresh air?

now, how many talk about the right to get stoned?

it's not a serious debate. one is a fundamental right and freedom, and the other is a lot of baloney.
and, would that piece of shit go smoke somewhere else?

i should have the right to fresh air, along with my right to hot air. the right to clear thinking is just as fundamental as the right to free speech....
let these petite bourgeois tinpot dictators be exposed for what they are.
let them work through the obvious absurdity of attacking the blatant anarchist as a foreign agent, on it's face. 

it's preposterous

...because i make my politics crystal clear.

and it's pretty plain that they don't align with any state actor, anywhere, but are rather pretty hostile to the concept of the state, altogether.

i will win this debate, if they are foolish enough to have it, and i will ensure that nobody else needs to engage in it. it's outlandish....
i work for the hope and dream of one day living in a canada that is free from capitalism and exploitation, within a world that shares that vision and priority.

i work for a world without states - without this one, without that one and without the other one.

so, imagine there's no countries, guys. it isn't hard to do. 

and, no religion, too. that's key. central. 
when they tell you that the indigenous groups are working for the russians, don't believe them.

when they tell you that the leftists are working for the chinese or the venezuelans, don't believe them.

when they tell you that the environmentalists are working for foreign capital, don't believe them.
i, for one, will not walk around on eggshells, or alter my statements under fear that the government may accuse me of working for a foreign state.

and, i will take such accusations with a grain of salt when they are leveled at my peers.
when the government starts accusing dissenters of posing as "regular people" on behalf of foreign governments, we have crossed the threshold to totalitarianism, and entered the realm of fascism.

that is the type of tactic used by governments like iran to round up and silence dissent.

it must be resisted as strenuously as possible.
this prime minister does not believe in speech rights.

he's coming for you.

he's coming for me.

get ready for it.
....and we're going to need to stand together when they try to shut us down, too.
they have no decency.

don't bother asking.

we're going to need hard court rulings that uphold our constitutional rights, not appeals to decency.
right.

so, this is just a flimsy excuse to shut people down.

i'm the kind of person that they're going to accuse of being a foreign agent, and the reality is that this is somewhere between utter stupidity and schizophrenic delusion. i'm exactly who i say i am. but, the harder it is to disprove that, the deeper in i must be, right?

we need to resist the mccarthyism and stand up for speech at every opportunity. 

and, all i can say is that if they go after me then i intend to defeat them in court and erect the provisions that prevent them from doing this to anybody else.

they're going to tell you it's about national security, and they're acting to protect you or something. don't believe them. they're trying to shut down dissent, and they need to be fought at every turn.

so, i think that's the extent of what i can do from here, for now.

i still need to:

1) double check the pdf files.
2) build the liner notes
3) clean everything up
4) do this all over again for january, 2014

it kind of sucks that i haven't been able to listen to any music, as well, but that's all connected to the other laptop. i've been sitting here in dead silence, just trying to get as much done as i can, as quickly as i can.

again, i wish i understood what this person or entity's motive was. as far as i can tell, they're just being assholes for the sake of it.

i'm going to get some fruit before i disconnect the modem for the night. i should be able to rebuild before sunrise, but i should spend the day sleeping - excepting that few hours yesterday morning, i've been up since wednesday afternoon. if i can get back into a normal nocturnal pattern, again...
