This is what putting people in a pressure cooker of $8/hr minimum wage, state violence and $1500/mo rents yields.

Also, whatever you think of this action (I happen to be against it because it’s illegal.), acknowledge that mobilizing this many people is the result of invisible forms of organizing, not neccesarily legible to the “left” whose traditions cross-polinate with the professionalized activism of ngos, labor unions and political parties.

It’s just a shame that it was expressed this way. We need major social democratic reforms and avenues for disenfranchised people to exercise political power so these kinds of desperate actions don’t disrupt our lives.

The provocative title is a way to call attention to the ways that overseas reporting and domestic reporting on social conflict differ. A detournament of imperialist propaganda if you will.

No wonder so many people with ideological similarities are referential experts on the ages of legal consent across the 50 states and most Japanese prefectures

This is misleading. The national law had the age of consent at 13, but as far as I know every prefecture in the country had long since raised the age of consent to I believe 18.

Otaku are a slang used in Japan, too… generally for kiddie creepers that are prime suspects whenever a school-age child goes missing.

Would you post something advocating criminal activity on a public forum? I sure wouldn’t, because I’m a staunch defender of law and order.

What does this mean in the context of US policies about “law and order” usually meaning brutality and extrajudicial executions on the streets particularly of black people…

Digital privacy has legitimate uses for lawyers, journalists and pen testers. If we used to have a shoplifting comm that’s very unfortunate.
