  • One of my earliest memories is a reoccuring dream I had for a few years. I remember waking up in terror when I was like 3 or 4 and my mom coming to calm me. I had the dream a few more times and I think I had it before the time I remember. The dream stopped when I was like 10 but the images are still there decades later.

    I’m walking along the edge of an indoor public swimming pool and I fall in face first. I don’t slip or get pushed or anything. It’s literally like 2 seconds. I’m just moving along looking down to the left at the tiles of the edge of the pool and the water and then I fall in and wake up just before my face hits the water.










  • White supremacy is a side effect of imperialism. If white europeans hadn’t colonized the world they would have less basis for “scientific racism” and less ability to force those ideas into the minds of other people. The reason europeans were so successful in the domination of other nations is just a question of lucky material conditions.

    Lucky european material conditions theory: The bubonic plague came at a perfect time for europe to allow for a rejiggering of their politics, economy, and technology. The sudden drop in population meant that they could rehabilitate arable land as they needed it instead of having to constantly make more from scratch. It changed the limiting factor to one of labor instead of food. It allowed them to over produce food for storage and gave them a buffer against crop failures for several generations. Basically the survivors of the black plague had breathing room and practice fighting each other for a few generations with little distractions just in time for intercontinental war to be technologically feasible.

    Other parts of the world the population grew as fast as food production would allow with little room to stop and reorganize.

    My theory on the cause of racial supremacy in general: 2 people have a fight, 20 generations later their offspring are still fighting and see themselves as superior to the other side because they “know” their ancestors were the morally correct one even if they don’t know what the fight was about. (the first book of the Abrahamic bible is this story over and over again.) That moral high ground eventually becomes solidified into a divine right when one side prevails over another. The victors now believe themselves anointed by a higher power. With their age old feud over they find new people to demonize. They dig up old feuds or invent new ones because it has become so ingrained in their society that they are superior and they need someone to be superior to. The bigger their society gets the bigger their enemies become and the reasons for their hatred more ineffable.









  • Chemical castration is hormone treatment. It isn’t surgical it doesn’t get rid of any bits it just ruins your ability to have offspring.

    Material conditions don’t “justify” any crimes they just explain them. Understanding is not justification. You can’t fix problems without understanding them. By helping criminals understand why they did what they did they can stop themselves reoffending. It also allows society to understand how to change so that it doesn’t spawn more criminals.

    Punishment is a reactionary response to crime that does not work. Prisons should exist only to protect society from criminals who are not yet rehabilitated and criminals should only be released when they are sure not to reoffend. The “do the crime do the time” shit turns criminality into a transactional relationship and does nothing to address the causes of crime.

    That said there are criminals and especially rapists who are beyond any from of rehabilitation and yes they should probably just be removed from society one way or another but this is not something that should be done as a blanket decision based on their crime. Some people will take longer to rehabilitate. There is also the question of incorrect convictions. Death and chemical castration are permanent and if you get it wrong there is no fixing that.

    All that goes out the window when dealing with a bourgeois criminal court system. There is no justice under the dictatorship of capital. Nothing a capitalist state does can be looked on as justice. All of it is a mockery of justice that is used to keep the underclasses in line. On the rare occasion a rich person is brought to justice it is only as theatre to appease the masses and strengthen the charde. If they are imprisoning, castrating, anyone or chopping off their hands it is all going to be done only to the oppressed classes and races and often to the innocent. The rich will never get castrated so all that supporting this is doing is giving the fascists the right to lower the birth rate of POC.


    1. A chemically castrated person still has the ability to commit rape. Also the recidivism rates for people convicted of a single sexual crime is extremely low.

    2. There is plenty of scientific study to prove that harsher punishment is not a deterrence to crime.

    Rape is a gendered crime. Yes all genders can and do experience sexual violence but the majority of rape victims are women and the majority of rapists are men.

    Italy is governed by open fascists. The law will not be used “normally.”

    In a better place or time where the law could be implemented in a fair and just way it would still not be a good law. Crime is a product of material conditions and addressing the material conditions is how you prevent a crime. People don’t commit rape because they are too horny.
