The nightly news must've missed MayDay in Paris.

I'm sure they had many other stories to cover up, as well.
Maybe it was just me?
Did you see any coverage of the MayDay festivities in the anarchist stronghold of Paris?

Well, dear reader, you are in luck.
Taking the time to read my content has once again brought you information you are unlikely to get anywhere else.

I know most of you are not ready to abandon the old paradigm in favor of the new, but the Mayans have spoken.
December 21st, 2012 was the end of the world as we knew it.
On that day, the world was ruled by force.
The farther we move in time from that day, the less control the ruling class has over us.
Their days are at an end.
Rule by bully has had its time.

Take a few minutes to read a report from the frontlines of the struggle to free you from their oppressive force.

From the story:

  • In Paris, on May Day 2018, nearly 15,000 people joined a confrontational march rejecting capitalism and the state, including a black bloc of 1200 people. Intense clashes immediately broke out with the police. This is the story of the events leading up to May Day, what we experienced that afternoon in Paris, and what comes next.

  • Tension has been building in France for years now, from the street confrontations of 2016 against the Loi Travail to the defense of la ZAD at Notre-Dame-des-Landes. Here, we offer firsthand reports from the events of May 1, 2018 in Paris and discuss the aftermath of this day in order to participate in the critical analyses that have emerged within our radical circles for several days now.

  • To hear reports from other May Day actions worldwide, listen to the May Day 2018 roundup episode of our podcast, the Hotwire. To learn more about the origins of May Day, read “The incomplete, true, authentic and wonderful history of May Day” here, or read our timeline charting its legacy.

The story goes on at some length to explain the history of struggle by anarchists to be free of rule by force.
If you are not a supporter of the blacbloc, you should get your information from the source rather than a propoganda misinformation source.
This story gives insight into why anarchists do not denounce those that favor the tactic of attentat.

That last photo is interesting. I wouldn't have automatically associated Veganism with the Anarchist movement

Yeah, many are.
If its wrong to use violence to control others, that includes animals.
My question is 'what do they have against plants'?

Haha. I was not expecting that last line. I almost spat my coffee through my nose.

Its true, though.
Vegans be like, 'How could you ever eat a puppy? His face is sooo cute! But those damn avacados, grr i hate those bastards!'

If proof of life is the bar, then plant reproduction makes them just as alive as the animals, right?
Eggs equal seeds.
They might not roll over or sit, but they still mature and reproduce.

It reminds me of a couple T-Shirts I've seen (but haven't found in my size yet).

First is

"Meat is Murder! Tasty, tasty murder!"

Second is

"Hey Vegans, my lunch shit on your lunch"

Yep, no way i trade bacon for broccoli!

Biological life doesn't necessitate psychological life. Animals have the capacity to think, feel and act, as humans do. We are kin of the same animal kingdom. Plants are only biological, not psychological.

You need to eat to survive. You can eat plants, and leave animals alone. We can't survive without eating plants. Do no harm to fellow thinking, feeling, breathing beings.

Lol, how can you be so sure that plants dont have feelings?
They certainly breathe, track the sun, know when to flower, and when to drop a seed.

I think we should respect the sacrifice all life makes to feed us and to thank their spirits for tasting so good!

I wouldnt like it if i had to do my own butchering, I might eat less meat, but id still eat it.

To each their own.
