That's great info, thank you so much

Covixyl looks promising considering it has both ELAH and xylitol. How often do you reapply, when you're out all day?

This is another example that makes me skeptical of any spectacular activism. The state is more than happy to severely punish people for the minutest of actions, all while having control over mass media, so you have to be careful that you aren't throwing your life away for zero impact. And at least in the US, it's spent the last few decades growing and perfecting the jail and prison system to the degree that it can absorb a large amount of social unrest without any trouble.

Very rarely is attention-seeking praxis capable of breaking into the spectacle a la Aaron Bushnell.

Radicalism needs to be socially reproducible to have revolutionary potential, needs to outcompete capitalism's social reproduction. We need to create revolutionaries faster than they get imprisoned, killed, burnt out, isolated.

Just like the West doesn't have real heroes, it can't have effective martyrs.

I try to wear one every time I go out, but occasionally find myself without one. Even so, every percent you cut down your chance of transmission is good, especially with how little effort wearing a mask is. Plus there's cameras and pigs everywhere, so that's an added benefit. Not to mention all the other diseases that are often worse after having covid.

A mask lowers the likelihood of getting infected through your mouth and nose. How effective this is depends on a lot of things, including your other safety measures (washing hands, not touching your face, avoiding crowds) and the mask's seal and filtering effectiveness. But very generally speaking, decreasing the viral load itself lessens the severity of infections you may still get, and helps bring down the R number of diseases socially.

I bought a box of 3M Auras (from a verified source to ensure they aren't counterfeit, not Amazon), and they came out to ~$1 each. I reuse them until they don't work anymore, get too dirty, or something breaks. I have like 15 in rotation at any time, cycling through three bags so that each one sits for a week or two before reuse.

Could you give details about the nasal spray you use? I've seen it mentioned but haven't looked into it. If it's not cost prohibitive I may do that in addition to masking

Jesus this almost tricked me into thinking the OP wasn't a shitpost

Ooh that sounds interesting, adding it to my to-watch list

Great list, and since you already mention 2/3rds of the movies by two of my favorite directors, I'd personally add Nope by Jordan Peele and Beau is Afraid by Ari Aster.

Idk how well they apply to OP's criteria but I think they're great

Stalker is a slow burn but such a good movie.

I don't think it has to be one way. Maybe some people have their own units, maybe other places have communal units, maybe certain places have industrial launderers. It'll depend a lot on the conditions specific to each location.

Personally I lean towards communal units with anything that only gets used once a week or less (and takes up space and/or a decent chunk of resources to produce). Boats, laundry machines, power tools, trucks, guns, whatever.

These places are still common and profitable, especially in the Mormon belt where they have strong ties to government. They'll occasionally get "shut down" after a particularly publicized death or SA charge, meaning they change their name and continue as usual.

I haven't listened to the trueanon series on these camps because it's too triggering, but that might be better than BtB since it's more of a firsthand perspective (and less liberal)

Fun challenge: go to a grocery store and try to find food products with more grams of fiber than added sugar.

Expert mode: do it in a food desert where there's no fresh and affordable grocery stores in a 2 mile radius

It's wild that things can be sold as meals without being nutritionally complete. When I'm supreme leader, that will be illegal.
