*ppl have less time off then ever seen before in human history!! (Even peasants had harvest festivals and excessive amounts of religious/seasonal holidays to keep them from rioting)

*There is a larger $$ disparity between the top and the middle class of people then during the French revolution!!

*Ppl work more and harder - with only slightly more or less depending on decade- since the Industrial Revolution (Before this, the ave person worked 20 hour weeks all the way back to the start of societies, if you take in how much time off and hard labors off seasons into account)

*There has never been a more unstable access to housing and control over your personal shelter (yes, ppl have been held in slavery and impoverished but tbh this is the first time ppl can look at places to live and simply not have access to comfy place to build camp at least) *The starvation rate of people has been higher sure, but food insecurity has never been so wide spread, not to mention our food waste also caps out every years

Oh Also!! If you cant work 'hard enough' to pay your bills its your fault! If you cant leave the house on the way to work 'early enough' to catch a bus that shows up once every hour your the one at fault not the system. You where gunna buy a small coffee or treat on your way? Hahah with what spare change? You have to pay your electricity bill this week. Now get to work at a job you hate!!

I think my biggest problem with the idea of replacing government safety nets for disabled people with mutual aid is that I have lived in a tiny village while disabled and I can confirm it only works if everyone wants it to work. And when you live somewhere with a tiny population when you are marginalised its very easy for you to be in a situation where no one actually cares if you survive or not.

At least the government kept paying my benefits when everyone else decided two weeks of caring about disabled people at the start of the pandemic was quite enough.

Taken - Zutara - Part 42

First / Previous / Next / Masterpost

The logbook is a wealth of knowledge. One that, as they waited for a return letter from Long Feng, Zuko and Katara painstakingly made a copy of. Two, in fact. They would have one for themselves, for Zuko to read more thoroughly, and two decoys in case the Dai Li are less than cooperative.

Turns out, that was a good idea. A woman claiming to be Joo Dee, who definitely was not the same Joo Dee they spoke to before, politely reminded them that they are exiled from Ba Sing Se, by 'order of the Earth King'.

The group share a look, politely excuse themselves, and then charge back into the city to storm the palace. It wasn't necessarily easy, but it was certainly easier than one would expect. Toph alone took out entire platoons of guards.

"Are we sure we need the Earth Army?" Zuko asked, as they were running through the palace halls. "They don't seem all that useful."

"We need every body we can get," Sokka called, checking random doors. "Plus we need the Earth Kingdom resources to gather everyone else."

Katara didn't add that they couldn't really leave Long Feng in charge, otherwise the Earth Kingdom would be a sitting turtle duck when the comet came.

They arrive in the Earth King's chamber to find the Earth King sitting on his throne, Long Feng and the Dai Li standing at the ready. In turn, Sokka, Aang, and Toph all stand at the ready. Zuko and Katara, however, share a look.

"Earth King Kuei," Zuko said, keeping his swords in hand as he gives a slight bow. "We have brought the Avatar with urgent news."

"They lie," Long Feng immediately snaps. "They're here to overthrow you!"

"It's easy to prove," Katara counters. "Only the Avatar can bend more than one element. If he might give a display?"

The Earth King studies them, looking both intrigued and hesitant. "Very well. A quick demonstration, and we'll see if the Avatar is really here."

Aang steps forward, giving a quick display of air, water, and earth bending. The king seemed amazed, only for Long Feng to cut in.

"What does is matter, your highness? They are enemies of the state."

To Katara's absolute shock, the Earth King almost agrees with Long Feng. It's only thanks to the kings pet bear (just a bear???) that the King agrees to listen. Because the bear seems to like Aang.

So Aang steps forward and explains the war. He explains how for almost a week, they had been staying in the city, trying to get an official meeting, only for Long Feng to block them at every turn. And then, when they finally did meet the man, he told them to leave.

The King was skeptical, of course. Long Feng tried to lie, tried to say they were anarcists of all things.

"A secret war?" Kuei shook his head. "It's crazy."

"We can prove it," Katara said. "We came to the palace straight from the battlefield. One that is at your outer wall. If you come with us, we can show you irrefutable proof of an attack."

The King hesitates, and once again, an animal saves the day.

"We can ride on Appa," Aang suggested, and the king immediately agreed.

It doesn't take long. General Sung and the soldiers are still there, cleaning up the slurry mess. A smaller wall was put up, sectioning off the area, but there it is. The drill, in all its horrifying glory.

"What is that?" Kuei asks, terrified.

"A drill," Sokka explains, pointing to the insignia. "A Fire Nation drill, made to break through your walls. Princess Azula herself was heading the attack, hoping to claim Ba Sing Se for the Fire Lord."

It is then that Long Feng joins them, trying once more to sway the king. To everyone's shock, though delighted shock in the gaang's case, the Earth King demands the arrest of Long Feng.

Finally, they could start making progress.

im trying to snoop around the forums and also jst the general internet space for memorization tips for the anarcists runestones game and i literally found a tutorial where ALL it said was, and i quote, "Remember what was on each card and where it was" thanks bud. that really helps. i was trying to forget them instantly my bad.

[monamour542]

[eyesxxyou]

Babe do u wanna match anarcist furry pfps with me

I need to know now bc i'm ngl these might take longer than i thought

Yes ofc!!!

[house-of-mirrors]

For the ask game 23, 28, and 30 for Orsinio please!

Answered 23 and 28 already

30. does your OC wish to be married someday?

Not in the traditional sense. In the chaotic, aroace, anarcist, trickster sense, however...

In game he's married to September <3 it's really a queerplatonic partnership. They get along very well and care each other <3 United chaotic neurodivergent redhead Celtic men

He calls his best friend Lucy (@thedustmylove's OC, hey there lol) his wife and no one is sure if they're actually married or not. If you asked 10 different people, you'd get 10 different answers. They're very devoted to each other tho, "if anything happened to you I'd kill everyone and then myself" etc

Got the Whatever That Is relationship with Miles. Someone asks what their relationship is, and the only way he can answer is with a hand wave and an "eh?" I have an elaborate comedy AU timeline in my brain where they pretend to get married just to piss off Miles' father. Oh yeah and they get canceled because Miles was a student in O's lab for precisely one (1) day lmao

Oh yes and we can't forget that he always gets the trance dreams of marrying Mr Wines ;)

So really it's like, Lucy: "This is my partner Orsinio, his partner September, his 'it's complicated' Miles, and the weird giant bat that followed him home"

Really fun ask to answer, I feel like I don't highlight enough that this man is a depressed bisexual hedonist trickster who enjoys sowing chaos

I do try to listen to and read what anarcists have to say and understand their ideas (occasionally) but it's really difficult because they're constantly saying really dumb shit. A long time ago I watched some anarchist's YouTube video about what their ideal utopian society after the global collapse of capitalism would be like. Most of it sounded absolutely terrible to me but the thing that stood out to me the most was that they said something like 'unfortunately we wouldn't be able to have coffee because its production is unethical'. Yeah. You're right. There is simply no conceivable way to make the production of coffee non-exploitative. We can end capitalism worldwide but inventing a system in which the coffee farmer is not oppressed is literally impossible.

[circuitbunnie]

i cant look at the for you tab its too insane how are people supporting isreal even a little? like its half assed "trying to compromise and find the middle ground!!" support for both sides but thats just as fucked up??? theres no middle ground when isreal literally controls the borders, water and electricity? I never thought I would see so many self proclaimed "anarcist leftists" support actual attempted genocide fake ass bitches they're too scared of being called an antisemite by some zionist guy online to actually give a shit!!!!!

[happy-and-gay-tortoise]

hey sorry to basically be on 'anon' bc i really can't send asks from my main account lol but ANYWAY i'm sorry it looks like someone made u feel like shit about posting in the crust tag but i wanted to mediate if thats ok. im sorry someone made u feel you couldnt post in there but at the same time i get it, if ur not reaaaally into crust then it's weird to establish yourself within such a politically vocal and tight knit community.

i know if you go to them with open hands about how into crust u are they would welcome you and give you recs and support you, you just have to show u are into crust. there are a lot of people that come into crust punk without knowing what it is except for 'fashion', and crust punks are actively trying to remove 'fashion' punks from crust, so it doesn't become corporatised like punk rock did.

so i think with ur jacket not having any crust and your outfit of the day posts being non-crust music and your playlist not having crust on it until i assume someone said some horrible shit i think that becomes a point where the fear is realised as 'oh my god, here's another fashion-only prson who doesn't know/doesn't want to know what this is' and it puts this very tight-knit community on edge

that didn't give any one the right to be horrible about it tho like there are better way to do these things but crust is a negative-type community that is very violent? maybe? in various ways. full of people with big problems with a real hatred of the world. which is where that reaction came from. i honestly wouldn't take it to heart too hard and i know ur only a kid so that'll be very hard. but if u ever want to get more into crust i promise ask people for recs and they will help you and be so kind.

it's just worth remembering, sub cultures don't like to be stepped on bc the world is hellbent on making it digestible and corporate for the masses so you gotta come at it honestly. ok anyway sorry for pseudo anon again and have a nice day

(The pseudo anon is ok dw)

I appreciate this ask a lot! Funny thing is I'm mostly just not rlly labeling myself as crust anymore bc I'm not the biggest fan of the music in general and I don't wanna use the tags that are not accurate to me! I respect the crust community a lot and yall are always welcome here, I'm just more personally into what a lot of my asks have called "easier to listen to punk" I love the noise not music movement and I do listen to some death metal n stuff, but ska and ska punk are more my cup of tea yk!

The crust community is also, as you said, very full of (most of the time justified) violence and hatred, and as someone that is like an eco-anarcist, optimist punk, and just trying to consume as much positive content/ neutral content as possible it tends to not be my vibe! I totally understand why yall have the community tho as someone who is that kind of angry a lot if the time, yall are the people that make change, and when it is needed I join you, but at least rn, I won't be engaging with that (also due to personal circumstances)!

Also I understand how it gave that impression, I want to make it clear I understand that crust punk was/is a movement centered around the music, the heavy emphasis on politics, and the anger towards the systems that push us down. "Crust pants/jackets" are just things to show that! I very clearly do not fit one of those criterias tho and that's ok! I don't have to use the label crust punk to still be someone who is a valid member of the punk subculture! Plus, yall don't need to know what exact labels I use anyway lol. You are a community that has been fucked with and torn apart for years, and it's not my place to call myself a part of that community when, frankly, I'm not! Again, I am in full support of the crust punk movement and stand by your sides, any crust punk that comes onto this page is fully welcomed with open arms! <3

[solar-sunnyside-up]

Some silly ideas for improving my bus stops since my city wont: moving the garbage bin, add a recycling bin, plants-  potatoes, sunflowers,  peas?? Wild flowers where possible. Superglue ashtray to garbage tops. Painting polls and lower half of bus stop with washable paints Little library/pantry Add shade?? I'm how yet. chalk paintings on pavement Anyone else have ideas let's share them!! If my city is going to abandon accesabilitiy, cleanliness, and maitance I'll do it myself bc I use the ducking thing at least twice a day.

As the sun returns to us so does my burning rage over bus stop neglect.

Accidental Death of an Anarcist - Theatre Royal Haymarket - Saturday 2

This is a satirical farce about corruptions and cover ups involved in deaths in police custody. Despite the subject matter there are laughs at the absurdity of what occurs during an investigation of an earlier “accidental death of an anarchist” who “fell” out of a window during questioning and died. 7/10

[makemesing-oh-lalala]

Anarchy is doing good things through bad means. It is preventing corruption and standing for equality. Real equality, not that bullshit idea of equality that the gov and school feed you. No government, no monopoly businesses, just every day citizens acting in interest of every day citizens.
