President of what?

Seems like a surefire way to get a promotion these days.

Fuck tolerance.

See? It’s that easy. No paradoxes required.

It is only a matter of time before pigs or some paramilitary pig-wannabes perpetrate a massacre of protestors in the US.

When (not if) they do, watch out… it will be open-season on anybody that’s marginalized or slightly left than Heinrich Himmler.

I sure hope you all are ready for this.

This is true… but it doesn’t change the power dynamic at play at all - merely the stakes for the individual involved.

Yea but the charity has to be nice to you since they depend on volunteers.

How is this any different from the, “if you don’t like your job you can just leave” argument?

The presence of a safe word doesn’t exclude the existence of a hierarchy in the same way that “checks and balances” doesn’t make a hierarchy any less hierarchical.

Voluntary hierarchies are not a thing.

Sounds like a shittake emanating from the same kind of anarchists that loudly proclaim the values of “leaderless” organisation before posting a meme glorifying Nestor Makhno.

a hegemony with a 100-years tradition of upkeeping democracy against major non-democratic players

Your proof of this is… what?

That’s the whole point of right-wing “anti-immigrant” hysteria - it has always been about the repression of the cheapest source of labour (even cheaper than carceral slavery). Hell, the dynamics of this is even perfectly articulated in the second book of the Old Testament.

But the goons doing the dirty work doesn’t need to know that.
