A friend of mine just sent a pic from after FFS. I replied:

"I thought I'd question my gender a little. No big deal, right? Well, now I have tape all over my face!!"

I am referring to a skit from the MTV show "The State". I cannot find this anywhere on the internet, so nobody knows what I'm talking about. Can anyone point to a way to watch this skit or the whole show?

All I could find is one screenshot.

[01:01] 68% of settlements made through litigation - report

Most injury insurance claims are settled through litigation as opposed to the State's Injuries Board, a new report by the Central Bank has found.

One important thing my anarchist mentors taught me about smashing The State (TM), is that we mean something very specific by it; what political scientists call the 'monopoly on violence'.

The normalisation of "violence down the hierarchy", as Derrick Jensen put it in Endgame, while pathologising even the most trivial use of force against the hierarchy. Police brutality isn't even news. While throwing a cream pie at a PR hack or CEO is "assault".

Quote of the day, 23 January: St. Edith Stein

The greatest clashes through the ages have taken place between the state and the Church: in Germany, such clashes have been designated as “Kulturkampf.” They are usually caused by the state’s excessive claim to power and by its interventions into the Church’s universal teaching mandate.

But it cannot be denied that this universal right can be exercised wrongfully by the representatives of the Church and that conflicts can be caused or intensified thereby.

Saint Edith Stein

"Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete."

"Ultimately, it is the sort of book which should be mandatory reading for all #CivilServants and Politicians of every colour. We have to reconfigure the interface between the citizen and the state in order for them to have a more copacetic relationship. We have to redesign #thestate so that it is able to meet the challenges of today. We have to ensure that it is able to rapidly adapt to the challenges of tomorrow."

"The #extremeright does not hate #thestate, but just enough to gain access to it and occupy it. Once in power it does not destroy it, it tries to reconfigure it. #Milei, #Trump or #Bolsonaro aim to destroy public regulations that deal with social reproduction and favour private regulation of #capitalAccumulation. State action is not dissolved but reoriented to constitute a new, ultra-punitive power of command capable of assisting the order required by the #markets."

Important & timely reminder.

"Here and now, the state is oriented towards maintaining the conditions needed for the accumulation of capital.
"That has been the British state’s role since the 17th century, despite the preservation of several feudal forms. It has taken on and discarded specific functions, including under the pressure of class struggle, but all within that overarching framework."
