🇨🇦 Highest telecom prices. Unaffordable rent and homes. Stagnant wages. Grocery shock. Healthcare shortages. Crumbling infrastructure. Student debt.

Proudhon said "property is theft."

Canada improved the model: theft now comes with autopay, a credit check and a customer satisfaction survey. 🏠📋

“Anyone who lays his hand on me to govern me is a usurper and a tyrant, and I declare that he is my enemy.” — Proudhon, 1851. It reads like refusal. It was a beginning. https://thefederation.felineunion.org/

Hume's objection has never been answered. The colossus comes down, and the rubble is cleared by whoever arrived with equipment. Withdrawal has no direction. https://thefederation.felineunion.org/colossus/

Timur Kuran's name for the base of the colossus is preference falsification — a regime privately resented by nearly everyone and publicly supported by nearly everyone, at the same time, with no one able to tell. https://thefederation.felineunion.org/colossus/

One man rules millions, and he has two hands. He is not overpowering anybody. The millions are supplying, every morning, the power that holds them down. https://thefederation.felineunion.org/colossus/

A class that can't turn shared conditions into common knowledge and coordination can't exercise its collective power.

Margaret Thatcher sold the state. Mark Carney put it on subscription. 💳🇨🇦

"Banker" isn't a pejorative by definition.

But the modern financial system has been working overtime to make it sound like one.

Funny how an ordinary job title can acquire a negative connotation without the dictionary changing a single word. 💸🏦

Latin pax comes off the same root as pactum. A settlement fastened down, on terms set by whoever won. English inherited the word and lost the memory, and that drift is the whole trick. https://theaxes.fyi/the-pax.html

Left vs. right is a line that erases half the information. The real map is a 2×2: ownership × control. https://theaxes.fyi

🏴 Proudhon: "Property is theft."

Modern politics improved the workflow: property writes the cheque, politicians write the policy, and the presstitutes write that democracy has spoken.

A reasonably streamlined procurement process. 💼🗳️📰

Heck, your manager isn't even human anymore. It's an algorithm assigning work, setting pay and disciplining you.

So organize somewhere algorithms can't dissolve: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲.

And homeowners belong too. If you've got a mortgage, the bank owns the lien and you owe it rent on money for decades.

Different contracts. Same leverage point: 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴. 🏠🏴

No general European war between 1815 and 1914. Also: Britain fought a colonial campaign in almost every year of that same century. Both are true. Only one of them got called a peace. https://theaxes.fyi/the-pax.html

Some say CIA.
Others say Mossad.

You say potato, I say potahto.

CIA, Mossad...
let's call the whole thing off. 🎶

𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝘄𝗲: common knowledge. Everyone knows, and knows everyone else knows.

𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴: focal points. People independently converge on the same choice without communicating.

𝗩𝗮́𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘃 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹: the greengrocer. One visible refusal changes what everyone else believes is possible.

That's the architecture:

common knowledge → convergence → contagious autonomy.

Social workers in a coercive child welfare system are part of the carceral apparatus whatever their intentions, the role performs the function. Naming it "family policing" is not an insult to individual workers. It is a description of what the institution does. https://thecontinuity.felineunion.org/

🏴 𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗠 isn't "𝗻𝗼 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀." It's 𝗻𝗼 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀.

The state, bosses, and landlords are treated as 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘀 that corrupt whoever holds them.

Order comes from 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗺𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗶𝗱, and people deciding things 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀, not from better managers of the same machinery. 🏴

Bluesky was a godsend for anarchists. 🏴

It finally separated liberals from the left.

Liberals want better rulers.
Anarchists want no rulers.

Liberals want nicer cops.
Anarchists want communities that don't require police.

Liberals want ethical capitalism.
Anarchists want workers freed from bosses and landlords.

Liberals want representation.
Anarchists want participation.

Liberals want power exercised on their behalf.
Anarchists want power distributed among the people themselves.

Bluesky didn't unite the left.

It revealed who wants to change the management and who wants to change the machinery. 🏴Ⓐ
