Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.
Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

Folks did this with Assad and if you paid attention you'd start to notice that they kept meeting all the same "random Syrians" when out on their tours.
They may argue otherwise, but these influencers are 100% with a minder. If Bushra and Calla were simply exploring Iran alone, they wouldn’t just happen to be spewing the exact same regime talking points in the exact same locations. (1)

Nice thing about a fed is you don't have to ask. They're always there, they're great listeners and they genuinely care what you think...
if i knew the doj was spying on me i would do gag google searches like "how to ask a federal agent to be my valentine"

Randomly passed the Harlem Globetrotters on the street once.
They are actually that tall. Like... so tall that you immediately know it's them, even before you notice that they've all got the matching shirts and are carrying a basketball then check the newspaper to make sure (it was!)

Real trouble comes when you realize just how much of the literature on "Zionist smears!!!" is based around figures like Miller and how rarely compilations of "outrageous academic censorship!!!" don't include at least a few references to names like Barrett, Unz, etc and their collaborators.

Anyone else remember this guy? The international solidarity campaign waged on his behalf a few short years ago by big-names like Chomsky, Pilger and Butler, insisting that he was being "smeared"?
This is what he's up to now, btw.

I'm sure that we, as a nation, will reflect on that and not just double-down on talking about immigrants that way.

Not sure that I support the idea that human life should be subjected to the whims of "efficiency".
Would it not be more authentic, natural and indeed human to let people suffer through countless hours of unnecessary labour at a higher ecological cost?

The fact that we can produce more food for fewer man-hours than at any other time in history by literal orders of magnitude is a fucking miracle, and we should be trying to expand on the implications of that, rather than rejecting it.

Every complaint I had against Chomsky concerned the same problem: the way he excused or dismissed atrocities committed by his team: ie regimes and forces opposed to Western hegemonic power. As his friend, Epstein was given the same pass.
In other words, it's not an anomaly.

1. Noam Chomsky's response to the first tranche of Epstein docs - arrogant, high-handed, obfuscatory and, we now know, dishonest - reminded me of something: his response to my questions about genocide denial, 15 years ago. 🧵

Honestly it's 3 that I'm trying to avoid. Been through enough rounds of "in defence of smashing cameras" discourse to know where this all leads - rampant paranoia and fistfights in the middle of demos.

Don't agree with lighting a dumpster on fire? Fine, but that's a totally different discussion.
Snitching and snitch-jacketing are incredibly destructive to protest movements and that would still be true if those obnoxious leftists y'all hate had never said a word on the subject.

This. Did people think building non-burning barricades was legal?
Also worth noting that this never ends with things that could, under any definition, be considered "criminal" or "violent" but rapidly extends to things like "holding an umbrella". Am I the only one who remembers 2020?

Crime is a social construction. Helping slaves was criminal. In some states handing water to people standing in line to vote is a crime. For a long time a husband raping his wife was legal. If you define your morality based on the law, at the very best, you understand the world like a child does
I'm sorry, I'm lol'ing hard at "crime he disapproves of." As if some crimes are perfectly fine and okay.
Yeah, go ahead and set the city on fire. Just like Trump and Steven Miller want to see happen. Play right into their hands!
This is so stupid.

Sure doesn't feel irrelevant when every single mention of the abuses these refugees suffered gets buried under a dogpile while folks instantly rally to the defence of those responsible every time they're called out.

We watched millions of refugees flee Venezuela, millions more from Syria then further millions from Ukraine.
I fucking dare anyone who thinks this isn't a problem to venture out into those diasporas and ask people how they were "welcomed" by the international left.
