My essay on learning anarchist lessons from CPP-NPA-NDF is out now. I situate the people's war and mamundok in the context of a uniquely Philippine tradition of remontar and then put it in dialogue with Black anarchism, insurrectionary anarchism, and communization.

Fascinating and chilling exploration of how an initially peaceful culture once imagined to have been Edenic apparently devolved into an orgy of violence—and then disappeared.

meat consumption is one of the first things to rise as people escape poverty! getting people to embrace vegetarianism / veganism is hard! over a quarter of habitable land goes to livestock production! good meat alternatives would be one of the best things to happen to the environment!

the pope also believes you should not take exogenous hormones & that doing so comprises a failure to stand in authentic wonder at the beauty of god's creation so u really need to consider the entire worldview before getting headshotted by propaganda & doing the whole "wow, based pope" routine
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Know that the police knows legality is bullshit. If they want to hurt you, they will. Court dates are very far away when you're in a cell and can be delayed for bullshit reasons. Counter-suing is difficult and expensive. That isn't to say we should do nothing.

The reversed Tagalog word “etivac” is Cavite spelled backwards. It is a slang word commonly used by Gen Z and by businesses in Cavite to playfully give tribute to the province’s identity and community.

Why is it that insurrectos in Indonesia felt like they had no choice but to self-pacify? Why was it that in Nepal, the insurrectos had to submit to the military's demand for a discord election? Answering these are key for what comes ahead.
The clearest questions that ought be asked from the insurrections in Indonesia and Nepal is not “why didn't they do that?” but rather, “how could they not?” What restricted the choices of insurrectos that prevents them from overcoming the limits to insurrection?

Sure. It makes it easier to pronounce stuff. Words with different pronunciations have are spelled the same.
English should have diacritics too. It's hard for learners to figure out the difference between read and read and lead and lead.

Anarchist nihilism, as invented by a buncha bitter burnouts in the late 00s and early 10s, is so frustrating to me because you cannot, imo, read any account of the Conquest of the New World and see how much was crushed and destroyed and yet indigenous people endure. But "there's no hope".
