Okay, so beef squashed I'm gonna take another crack at critiquing mass protest movements in good faith while being *encouraging* of people to take more direct action, because I am, in fact neither a cynic nor a keyboard warrior, but optimistic that people are capable of transformative activism. 1/

It suits you well, that there is also the right sector flag in the picture, right? Seriously, what should I have done? Give me a lesson.

Like, I don't think these guys trying to set fire to a hotel housing asylum seekers in Rotherham last year are *actually* anarchists, do you?

And yes, there probably are western "anarchists" who have tried to justify the idea of "anarchists" joining Azov, but have you considered that they are a) also not really anarchists, and b) fucking idiots who are not representative of the Anarchist movement and should be ignored.
I'm gonna get shouted at here, but CrimethInc didn't brush it aside. In this article, they acknowledge that people claiming to be anarchists have joined Azov etc, but disavow them as anarchists in any meaningful sense. This isn't a "no true Scotsman" argument. It's an obvious contradiction in terms.
This is despite the fact that anarchists in Ukraine specifically told Crimethinc in 2022 that "some people even joined the Azov battalion and the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.)" CrimethInc simply brushed this aside, as more and more confirmation came in.

Basically, saying that "national anarchists" are anarchists is the same as saying that "national socialists" were socialists.

700 cops for a football match with no away fans to facilitate a club with an ethnotnationalist fanbase from a country that is doing a genocide who are only in UEFA because they got kicked out of the AFC.

@goodlawproject.org, would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.
Incidentally, given the messaging of these "protests" and the choice to do them outside the hotels rather than political institutions, I would argue that they constitute a breach of S. 5 Public Order Act (behaviour/ displays likely to cause harrassment, alarm, or distress).
The government has made the decision to have the police facilitate mobs of coked up racists holding hate rallies outside the woefully inadequate hotel accommodation they've imprisoned asylum seekers in, but sure, trying to influence the people who make policy is "toxic".
