Giuseppe "Pino" Pinelli (1928 - 1969) was an Italian railroad worker and anarchist who fell to his death on this day in 1969 while being detained by Italian police. His death became the subject of the play "Accidental Death of an Anarchist" by Dario Fo.

Pinelli was a member of the Milan-based anarchist association named "Ponte della Ghisolfa", and was also the secretary of the Italian branch of the Anarchist Black Cross. He organized young anarchists in the "Gioventu Libertaria" (Libertarian Youth) in 1962 and helped found the "Sacco and Vanzetti anarchist association" in 1965.

A few days before Pinelli's death, Italian fascists from the "Ordine Nuovo" orchestrated a bombing campaign in Milan; one bomb in Piazza Fontana killed 17 people and injured 88. The bombing was blamed on Italian anarchists, and Pinelli was detained along with many other leftists, including Pietro Valpreda, who was falsely convicted and served eighteen years in prison.

Just before midnight on December 15th, 1969, Pinelli fell to his death from a fourth floor window of the Milan police station. Three police officers interrogating Pinelli, including Commissioner Luigi Calabresi, were put under investigation in 1971 for his death, but legal proceedings concluded it was due to accidental causes.

Calabresi was later gunned down at his home in 1972, for which left-wing journalist Adriano Sofri was convicted in 1997.

Alright I just downloaded every game I bought on Steam this year that I haven't played yet. It's ten games, and there's ten days till Christmas, so I'm gonna call this my Steam Backlog Advent Calendar.

In the third Indiana jones movie they went to Petra and it made me want to visit Petra. I checked the travel advisory for Jordan and went “oh right, there’s tragedies in every direction”

Delenne from Babylon 5 was supposed to be trans. Her sesson one full mimbari form was supposed to be played by a dude and then after she got out of cocoon she was then supposed to be played by a woman.

Just want to remind y'all that I'm still (technically) here. Rough few days at work, not that I was ever a prolific poster.

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 4 points 17 hours ago

What if instead of proselytizing it was Proustelytizing and it was about spreading the good word of the best French writer of the 20th century

Was reading Domineco Losurdo's Western Marxism over a pint at the pub last night and heard the question I dread when I'm reading a text like this in public.

"What are you reading?" the server asked as he was bringing me the bill. I took a breath and explained yes bud actually I am some sort of weirdo actually (I actually just explained the premise of the book) and he was like "oh interesting! I studied philosophy in university with a minor in political science, who wrote it?" and ended up asking if he could take a snap of the cover before peacing haha

[-] Dingus_Khan@hexbear.net 7 points 21 hours ago

Best case scenario for sure lol

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 8 points 20 hours ago

Had our first new blueskyer banned already, rip. I'm searching Hexbear on there and so many of the original poster's followers are resharing the message and getting their friends to make accounts. It's pretty wild to see.

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 2 points 17 hours ago

i think given the external visibility of the bsky post there's gunna be opportunistic wreckers too :/ don't envy the mods rn

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Absolutely, but so far even the application itself and the content warnings required for animal products are filtering people who would otherwise get banned pretty quick. The one already hit was a very young person lacking in self awareness and communication skills who mods thought was a troll.

The worst thing that could happen is if the Jesse Singal fanclub hears about people making accounts here and decides to follow, since they already harass people on Facebook and other sites they can link people to. They're teamed up with SomethingAwful and KiwiFarms.

There's a small possibility of Hexbear seeping into the mainstream considering people are currently writing articles about the situation re: Bluesky's failure to moderate his content and what is causing people to leave the site. One one hand, it'd be really funny, but on the other it means more heat for our trans users and the site in general than people might want.

It could also just fizzle to nothing, some people stay, some go after seeing too many Stalin memes. Who knows.

I love that the music basically never stops playing. If I had John Williams doing the score I’d do the exact same thing.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 20 hours ago

I worked at a large scale catering place and when we had to plate desserts we'd play the Indiana jones theme, basically we'd take a basketball court worth of space, line it with tables, and each person ran a serpentine route with one stage of the plating each, especially if whipped cream or something that would melt was involved. It worked

Dems should’ve tripled down on calling republicans weird lol

[-] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

I swear to god they stopped doing it because it was working and they didn't want to actually win

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 3 points 17 hours ago

What do they think the secret ingredient of bud light is? HRT? COVID vax? Bill Gates mind control chips?

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 5 points 23 hours ago

All politics is sexual pathology - IDK someone what do I look like a nerd

[-] genderbitch@hexbear.net 3 points 21 hours ago

Idk, that shit was annoying as fuck, imo. Democrats decided they'd finally stop "taking the high road" and what they decided to do instead was the equivalent of trying to convince everyone the kid you don't like has cooties.

... Which is still better than constantly accusing Republicans of being closeted queers / fat / autistic / mentally ill / DEI hires / etc, I guess.

I found these banana bread candles that I really like, so I've been burning a bunch of them here lately, but I'm afraid that I'm going to get burnt out on them 😅. They just smell so good.

[-] Wmill@hexbear.net 8 points 21 hours ago

Dating advice vid watching them again for nuggets of advice but I click off when they start taking about their course or whatever. At least I'm not being recommended any red pill stuff anymore or if I do hear it it's usually through a filter of someone else dissecting it. Mentally I feel fine by myself but I wouldn't say not to having a social life you know?

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 6 points 21 hours ago

The music in Creature Commandos is quite suited to my tastes. I didn't know anyone but me and five other people that liked Caravan of Thieves.

[-] Wmill@hexbear.net 7 points 21 hours ago

Been looking into duckstation settings to make my psx games look cooler and stumbled on to retroacheivements thing niko-wonderous made an account and now I'm pondering what I should play. I got a couple games already on my ps3 but now with these achievements I'm tempted to play more on my laptop.

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

Crazy to think Jimmy Carter could have met with Joseph Stalin and most of Soviets leaders. Living to 100 years old must be very weird.

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 3 points 21 hours ago

The thing where Chomsky, MLK and Anne Frank would be roughly the same age, if the latter two weren’t dead.

[-] totalyNOTaPIRATE@hexbear.net 3 points 19 hours ago

Time is crazy. Donkey Kong Country 3 was released in 1781 this day.

Once again, bought my groceries based around some of my coupons. Then forgot the coupons in my pocket.

[-] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

Got a post office snapback at the thrift store lol

Do you think if I wore it and just went into the post office and started sorting shit for them and asked for a paycheck they'd hire me?

Also tempted to turn the bill up like a hardcore bro and write like, "GOIN' POSTAL" on the underside of the visor in a paint pen or something lmao

I've been eternally procrastinating making a little howdy post since the comm was made, now seeing the new user influx I want to wait longer lol.

Last year I went to Taiwan to visit my wife’s family and this year I’m going to the US to visit my relatives. It’s always nostalgic to walk off the plane and see Upstate New York being as scuffed as ever.

You are a prisoner in a room with 2 doors and 2 guards. One of the doors will guide you to freedom and behind the other is a hangman–you don't know which is which, but the guards do know.

One of the guards always tells the truth and the other always lies. You don't know which one is the truth-teller or the liar either. However both guards know each other.

One guard says to the other, “that shirt looks great on you.” The other replies “shut up, Greg.”

Guy is working in his bar. Sudently a dog, a cat and a mormon parrot enter the bar. He says "I really need to fix the door"

They haven’t responded for a good couple days. I’m not spamming, average like 0,69 messages a day. I try very hard to keep them short, but now they can’t fit on a single screen anymore, and I hope the sight of the deluge of single-colored text bubbles doesn’t overwhelm them, while at the same time I want to show that I haven’t abandoned them, in the case that they feel like shit.

stuff

I do not have enough information to properly handle this situation.

anarchism

2648 readers
72 users here now

Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.
