Watching Gavin Newsome cultivate his own cult of personality, and seeing liberals eager for a more acceptable boot to lick, really helping the "enemies on all sides" thing hit home.

Things are hot and getting hotter. This is the time to push for everything, to call into question every piece of this system that reproduces and upholds the whole. Make the connections as explicit as you can. Agitate visibly, publicly, often. It all goes or it all stays the same.

The need to push for generalizing antagonisms against state violence writ large isn't a call for ideological purity but an analytic critique of how a hyper fixation and exceptionalization of one death machine allows all others to become more entrenched.

As cathartic as it can be to see groups of people hounding ICE wherever they are, I have a deep unease with how ICE is exceptionalized, identified as somehow "unique" from the myriad of incomprehensible violences that the state has normalized. A cop is a cop is a cop.

These moments show that there exists the ability for many people to embody antagonistic positions within the context of daily life. There is a rupture here that can be pushed, must be pushed if we desire to break this hell world.

The question that feels pressing in this moment is "how do we extend this antagonism towards every vestige of state violence". How do we encourage these flares to extend towards police more generally, towards prison guards, to any and every manifestation of policing writ large.

Finally got the Ken Knabb translation of society of the spectacle. It's about to be over, not for a mere collection of images, but for the existent social relations between people meditated by images.

So far, so good

In the end, I support those who seek retribution against those who have harmed them, but I do so without dogma or moral authority, and always trying to hold critical sight towards how my positionalities may reinforce broader systems of suffering I'm ostensibly against.

I fear that in the context of believing oneself righteous, logics of violence against incredibly vulnerable groups of people can be unintentionally reified. This isn't a callout or to say that negates other worthwhile points made, but it is something I see with this discourse.

There can be no meaningful conversation towards undermining the prevalence of sexual violence without talking about the necessity of ending prisons, unless one operates from the belief that the incarcerated are less deserving of a life worth living than those presently outside.

The low hanging fruit that feels necessary to mention here is the intense othering of the incarcerated. Prison is a backdrop over which the discourse takes place, with minimal, or tokenizing, mention to the explosion of sexual violence that occurs within its confines.

Carceral logic is beaten into us since we are born and is not so easily excised, maybe impossible to fully excise from our ways of relating in a single lifetime. The position of victim, which I also inhabit, does not prevent one from reproducing systematic and localized violence.

I understand this may be frustratingly tedious but I feel the specificity is vital if we wish to actually undermine the logics that continuously reproduce this hell world. It isn't enough to simply define retributive violence as "not carceral" and move on.

Moral authority is as useful in the cultivation and creation of institutions of power as legal authority. Rather than seek to substitute one dogma for another, I feel it is far more impactful for liberatory struggle to undermine the notion of that authority altogether.

I support that because I desire a world in which institutions of power do not hold a monopoly on violence, a world where the abused can strike back. But it is vital, to me, that such retributive violence is understood as existing outside of authority; moral, legal, or otherwise.

I do not believe in "justice" because I do not believe in morality. I do support those who wish violence upon those who have caused them harm (rapists, abusers, police, jailers) but not because that violence is "righteous" or that actualizing such violence would bring "justice".

Trying to avoid relitigating/reliving my own trauma via discourse on rapists seems to be a losing battle. Fundamentally I believe that speaking the language of "justice" can only reinforce, intentionally or otherwise, the logic of carcerality in a world of carceral capitalism.
