i think it's more of a milestone. we haven't actually changed trajectory at all.
As someone active in politics since the late 80s, I can say we have certainly lost a number of our civil liberties, fascists feel emboldened enough to go full masks-off on the floor of Congress, and we just had a fucking soft coup attempt, so yea our trajectory has been on the downward side of parabolic since Ragass Reagan was allowed to ooze into the white house.
can i interest you in some anarchist zines?
Absolutely yes! Though it might be hard to find issues I don't at least have mimeographed copies of.
It's not wise for a government to signal so hard that the choices of the common person are irrelevant. In those times free speech comes in the form of ballistic cocktails.
Had to look up mimeographs.
Back in the day all good anarchist boys and girls had blue ink stained hands and smelled like solvent.
I have been given very careful instructions to my friends to NEVER mix styrofoam with gasoline as that will make a jelly fuel mixture which is very dangerous and shouldn't be done by any happy and represented citizen who has faith that their government has their best interest at heart.
It's almost like there should be some sort of cookbook with all these ideas of things that a happy citizen should never do...
