Oh come off it, Peter Gelderloos. Of course anarchists are part of "the Left" or rather they can be. You're being too much of a literalist and it is getting boring. Everybody knows how the left-right distinction came about, the French parliament seating order yadda yadda. But since then these terms have been filled with meaning, meaning that is forever evolving.
Seriously, the real problem we as anarchists have, is people like you Peter, who get way too righteous about unimportant distinctions.

Travelling with #hyperacusis is pure torture. I will never be able do that again. We just gave it another try, for some strange reaso, and it was a debacle.

I don't think i want to be me anymore - in such an ableist world.

Oh wait, it is, almost missed.

"Mad as a box of frogs".
Well who put the frogs into a box and are they not the mad one in this equation?

Raise your hand if this surprises you.

The AI project has always been eugenic. It wasn't necessary that someone like RFK Jr. spells it out. But hey, apparently they now all say the quiet part out loud. It's a gimmick.

"It’s been a long, long week. This round of tiring opinions about the disease that left me homebound over two years ago was kicked off by the infamous “masked lesbian bar” discourse, which has served its purpose of kicking up a rancid round of ableism, queerphobia and “anti-woke” panic."

And all the "leftists" who chimed in on the "masked lesbian bar" should be ashamed.

This morning, a shooting pain in my lower back that was so intense it almost made me faint. This might be a difficult night, and of course my neighbor bellow is acting out to make everything even worse. My life is cursed and i have no clue how to un-curse it.

This! September 2026 https://pieceoplastic.com/2026/09/30/this-september-2026/

Wow, Songs In The Key Of Life was the first album that i ever bought, and i am not too embarrassed of that choice.

"He added that he hopes the media attention will give the COVID-conscious community the momentum it needs to mobilize and further educate people why masking is still important, as well as media literacy and the impact of the narratives being told."

It is totally confirming my thesis on "the left" that most leftists now take the side of the owner of the lesbian bar, who changed the policy without checking in with people and communicated it in a flippant manner, but not with the immunocompromised people, who lost yet another place where they could feel safe.

"The left" is just as ableist as the rest of society and has learned nothing from the ongoing pandemic.

"Across the decades, millions of people have been neglected, dismissed and mistreated, and still it goes on. We need to ask why so many patients have been abandoned, why discredited and dangerous treatments continue to be prescribed and why ignorance and neglect still dominate, in the health system and beyond."

Yes, there are some major flaws in this article. But at least Monbiot is trying to address the issue.
