I apologize for a bit of a delay this time around. @Othello@hexbear.net will be taking a hiatus from Hexbear to redirect focus to local organizing efforts. For the time being, I will be taking over the posting of EM POC weekly threads.

With that aside, how's everyone doing? Any exciting news, funny memes or stories, or interesting takes? We'd love to hear it all!

Remember, EM POC only!

    Because I'm having to retrain myself I find myself reading about corporate jobs. I am thoroughly convinced that private tyranny is something that has been thoroughly normalized in our society. I find it so strange that everyone must do exactly as their employer says or face starvation. This isn't a new insight, but I do believe it's worth talking about always. As a worker/proletariat/regular dude, I think it's always important to focus politics on the regular everyday stuff, and I think a lot of regular everyday stuff gets overlooked because of how normalized it is. It’s really fuckin’ wack that private tyrants have made the idea that democracy only happens in the “public” space, and the “public” space is getting privatized more and more every day.
