Every day I feel getting closer and closer to adventure-time Liberals don't want real liberation for palestine. They have a fetish for defeat. I literally cannot have half a conversation with anyone above the age of 30 without racist chauvinism or hearing them justify imperialism.

    Family can be frustrating as hell. My own dad seems to expect there will be some point where everyone just realizes they need to "stop being greedy" -- with nothing precipitating that. He hates the idea that systemic changes will have to precede mass behavioral changes. He'll concede that China is getting results, but believes that it's going about it the wrong way and is thus no better than the US.

    However, people don't deserve "walls" simply for regurgitating what's in their media environment. My dad and your dad may say some silly things -- that's unfortunate, but not surprising given the circumstances. What matters is how they act, how they treat people day to day.

      He is a white midwestern liberal American that is an active member of the US airforce.

      I don't mean to get "third worldist" or "adventurist," and maybe I am just out of my mind right now, but he gets the wall for sure.

        By all means, be a third worldist -- but remember, adventurism only makes your contributions all the more finite.

        So if you're going to be an anarchist third worldist, you need to consider:

        • Having the longest career in anarchism third worldism possible (i.e. being careful enough and judicious with your actions so that you don't get expelled from the system you wish to fight).
