I am very excited to announce that the May Day Mutual Aid Shirt is now available through to Sunday. Reason I am releasing this a month early is to actually get these to you for May Day, about which I will be writing a lot more closer to the time. I am donating 100% of the profits to my local Food Not Bombs Chapter in which I am involved in, for clarity. Click on any of the pictures to get taken directly to the online store and as always, I am grateful for you enduring and patient support in these matters.
There are a number of subject I wanted to highlight before tapping into examples of the fuckening once again and we are going to start with this one, only because it’s exemplary in its absurdity only witnessed in the dying days of our empire. Rightfully so, a number of Amazon employers want to unionize and make no mistake I support that move wholeheartedly. For whatever reason the richest man on the planet decides to hire half-arsed IT nerds to create even more half-arsed twitter bot armies to try and sway the public discourse, I guess? It is so fucking bizarre that I am struggling to put my confusion into words, however, I wanted to direct to this article that gets into the meat of the issue.
Whilst we on the ground here know that Germany has a deep, entrenched, state protected and well-funded far right militant scene this generally is kept out of the news, for, you know, industry PR purposes. Rather than me divulging my highly biased 28 years of experience with these pricks, here is a good little twitter thread with further links for anyone interested in the massive fucking problem we have here.
Dr. Jason Hickel is an economic anthropologist whose research focuses on global inequality and political ecology. He is known for his books The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions and Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World and he has just recently released on the above subject. I found it riveting, especially in the context of decolonization and the reckoning of our own history. If you need or prefer a short version hit up his twitter run down here.
This article from the Economist of all place highlights the insanely criminal distribution of the Covid-19 vaccines globally, and more importantly the truly devastating effects this will have on all of us. It is without a doubt that the entire roll-out of these vaccines is beyond criminal, but here, don’t take it from me.
For anyone actually involved in organizing, watch this. It will help. Listen, Learn. Do.
And without further ado, my selection of the fuckening for yous comrades.
