L'anarchisme, c'est contagieux en tabarnak. 🏴

La CNT a pas attendu la révolution. Les Zapatistes non plus.

Tu t'organises. Tu nourris ton monde. Tu t'entraides. Tu fais tes assemblées. Tu pratiques l'autogestion.

L'étincelle, c'est pas la révolution.

C'est de réaliser: crisse, on est capables de faire ça nous-mêmes.

Pis après tu te demandes: quoi d'autre?

The CNT reading identifies a delayed effect: capacities cultivated over long periods may become operational during a later political opening. This means visible transformation can depend on earlier, less visible institution-building.

Anarchism is contagious. 🏴

You organize. Feed people. Educate. Build mutual aid. Create assemblies. Practice self-government.

The spark isn't revolution.

The spark is realizing: we can do this ourselves.

Then asking: what else?

Anarchism is contagious. 🏴

And it spreads faster than COVID-19.

You saw what a pandemic could do in three years.

Now imagine the pathogen is questioning authority.

Voting isn't inherently democratic. Democracy is having power. A system can give you a ballot precisely because it has arranged everything else so the ballot changes very little.

"Voting is democratic"
→ only if voting gives people meaningful power over collective decisions.

"You must vote to defend democracy"
→ becomes circular when the electoral system itself prevents meaningful democratic control.

Anarchism is contagious. 🏴

You remove domination from your marriage.
Then from parenting.
Then your children learn consent instead of obedience.
Your family notices.
Your neighbours notice.
Then someone asks: if we don't need hierarchy here, why do we need it at work, at school, or from the state?

That's why the structure fights back.

Anarchism doesn't corrupt relationships. It corrupts the assumption that relationships require rulers.

Dare to Divide

They promised a bigger house and a better-paying job. Now adults have hot-dog debt. https://daretodivide.felineunion.org/#meme-heading

Marriage doesn't necessarily eliminate the anarchic relationship underneath it. It can hide it. People spend decades practicing mutual self-government, then attribute the legitimacy of that relationship to the certificate issued by the state.

Anarchism doesn't mean no regulation.

You can have inspectors, standards, certification, audits, mediation and coordination without a coercive hierarchy.

Regulation = collectively managing how things work. Government = one way of enforcing it.

Highly regulated ≠ highly governed. 🏴

The weird part about "Russian interference" isn't that Russia paid influencers. It did. It's that Russia barely contests the narrative.

Why not say: "Fine. Show us the whole foreign-influence ledger. Israel. China. Gulf states. Everyone."

Instead, Russia buys some background noise and takes the heat.

That's not information dominance. That's renting attention. There's a pecking order here, and Russia doesn't look like it's at the top. 🧐

הסכמה (haskamah) is often translated as “agreement or consent.” Can be shared agreement, authorization, or informed consent, with different standards in law and ordinary speech. | Whose Hebrew? https://whosehebrew.felineunion.org/#central-question

Conscience meets structure: A conscience vote behaves differently inside a mixed court.

Sometimes we can't see how sick a system has become because recognizing it would threaten everything we believe gives us safety, meaning and identity.

So instead of questioning the system, we defend it.

We protect the story that keeps us comfortable from the truth that could set us free.

Le Canada est pas mal spécial quand tu le regardes avec les lunettes de Bourdieu : avec l'immigration, tu peux faire rentrer du capital humain quasiment du jour au lendemain. Mais le capital culturel, la langue, les codes institutionnels pis les réseaux, ça, ça s'importe pas dans une valise. Ça se bâtit icitte, avec le temps.

Canada is unusually interesting from a Bourdieusian perspective because immigration policy can import human capital almost instantaneously, while cultural, linguistic, institutional, and social capital remain geographically and historically embedded.

If I say "Zionist occupation," which country am I talking about?

Palestine? Sure. But where does the occupation end when military, political, financial, and institutional power crosses borders?

That's the question.

The next revolution isn't something you're going to watch happen.
You're already part of the cast.

The people with the strongest material reason to protest are precisely the people for whom protesting is most expensive.

Ottawa isn't listed because it does not appear in the source data itself: the federal wastewater dataset published by the Public Health Agency of Canada. We invite the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Public Health to participate, contribute regular public data, and join the communities using evidence to help residents protect  themselves and one another. That’s what responsible, grown-up public health looks like.

Treat the wastewater chart like a forecast, not a test result. It won't tell you if you're sick, it tells you what's circulating where you live, so you can decide informed instead of guessing. https://covid.felineunion.org
