@stefanecks people tend to forget that Marx never claimed the use/exchange value distinction was reality, just that this was the logic of the capitalist mode of production

@BrscTurk @voline1 @IwriteOK If you were a real man you wouldn’t be scared of women. If you were a really man you wouldn’t be taking money to spread lies to justify rape & murder. There is nothing more dishonorable.

@DanielMWolff back when I used to write for the Guardian I wrote this https://t.co/YlTHkQJGlF

@stephen_such @lucascasa well other than the ones stuck at home going through online kettle catalogues for lack of anything else to do

@redsarah99 @jeremycorbyn @BorisJohnson @bbclaurak @BBCBreaking oh yeah all the reporters in the country were ringing me all the time. (irony)

@DannyShell4 @BrscTurk @IwriteOK @TheSun I think he writes the Turkish version of the Sun. Or is paid by whoever does.

@SarahMNeilson @thomtrance Fair enough but surely someone else can write at least a few of them! What about you? Want to write one?

@Palomar_qfwfq @acc_anarcho @Itnom That’s the effect one would like to achieve certainly!

@BrscTurk @IwriteOK maybe it would be better to go to some kind of therapist and try to figure what it is about women’s freedom and equality that scares you so much you shouting “terror! terror!” whenever the possibility comes up. You might learn something about yourself.

@BrscTurk @IwriteOK yes those are some of the forces who defeated your ISIS buddies. Scares you doesn’t it? “terror terror terror”. So you figure if you just repeat “I’m so scared of women; I’m so scared of women” over & over like a mantra, that will justify murdering them?

@BrscTurk @IwriteOK the fact that the idea of women running a municipality terrifies you personally doesn’t actually make those women terrorists. It just means you’re not much of a man.

@BrscTurk @IwriteOK yes and I happen to know that your mother is a space alien. Just making things up really doesn’t cut it.

@uvray_ @GilDeRay obviously because it would mean not doing OTHER things. I spend my time researching and writing books on social theory. It takes up almost all my time that I’m not working. If I were to instead learn multiple languages I’d have to do much less of that.

@DanielHarshman8 well I’m assuming if I took 20 years to learn physics, then another 60 to learn Azerbaijani poetry, how to play klezmer music, etc, physics will have advanced considerably … so, hopefully, never.

@ploum careful you might lose your soul the gypsies cursed you with and turn back into an evil vampire

@AnnieLWild Modesty perhaps. I’m part of the XR Brain Trust; we’re drafting a statement even as we speak

@anya1anya @acarvin well me too. It’s important, & it’s nice they’re all called mutual aid nets, but so many people are still at work & there seems disturbingly little connection of the two worlds. What’s your impression?

@lucascasa the irony is much of that industrial and infrastructure is for its own sake, its based on planned obsolescence of a thousand different kinds. In a way Apple is the most evil company in the world in that respect.

@lucascasa I don’t much like the name, but surely we need to massively shrink the amount of industrial production going on, & the concept of “growth” is pernicious
