Liberal "abolitionists" really believe in this absurd binary. There really needs to be a deep accounting for everyone involved in twisting anarchism's "fire to the prisons!" into "the only alternative to prisons is forgiveness and forced silence." (Hint: a fuck ton of Christians were involved.)

This is multiplicative for marginalised women, too, not just in the harassment and violence inflicted but in the social calculus they must perform. More places becoming unsafe, harassment escalating more quickly or more severely.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Notably, this is also the way, though usually with "transformative justice," that abuse culture often plays out in leftist spaces, as sharply detailed here: theanarchistlibrary.org/library/word...

From experience in survivor work, the default to "restorative justice" is just part of rape culture. It uses more academic and supposedly liberatory jargon in spaces where traditional patriarchal and religious excuses for abuse wouldn't get as much traction, but to the exact same ends. Nothing more.

If someone is doing real damage and demonstrates a sustained lack of interest in accounting for it then, imo, the time for talking about “accountability” is over. Then it’s time for talking about how to best attack and undermine their power to do that damage. Changing their heart is not a factor.

British cops will often try to intimidate you into saying things by noting that you do not have a fifth amendment right and your silence can be taken as evidence in a court of law. Do not listen to this; it is still better to say nothing than to give them something to work with.

It might sound goofy but you can practice what to say AND NOT SAY to cops in case you're ever in an extremely stressful situation where you could incriminate yourself or others. You absolutely should do this if you're doing things with a group.

Coi with the hammer/sickle in their profile interesting enough calls anarchist “authoritarian minifascist” when state communists (tankies) utilize our own description of them.
Anarchists continue to reveal themselves as authoritarian minifascist freaks. A person who writes this kind of garbage is not someone l ever want to put my safety in the hands of. If trying to get the torture to stop when I'm being tortured is enough for you to write me out of all community
Those who have provided testimony
incriminating others must never be trusted with information that can put anyone else at risk again. And because it is not possible to be sure which information falls into that category, that means keeping them out of a wide array of spaces and relationships.

I fucking love how people draped sickle-and-hammers always call anarchists the real authoritarians, the real fascists, the real totalitarians, etc, because we have any ethical expectations whatsoever -- like "don't snitch" -- and enforce them through decentralized bottom-up pressure.
Despite echoing many accurate critiques of the Nazi project that emphasized the importance of truth,39 Arendt simultaneously perpetuated a framing of truth itself as totalitarian and “despotic” 40 because of the way that it
obliges us, casting dishonesty as necessary for democracy (supposedly a good
thing and somehow at odds with fascism). This account of “totalitarianism”
as any absolutism beyond democratic negotiation and compromise quickly
transformed into an attack on anarchism. Claude Lefort, a prominent French
state-communist thinker who helped popularize the “totalitarian” critique,
decried the classic anarchist aspiration of the “abolition of power” as “totalitarian” while also describing autonomy as “imaginary” and “a realm governed
by despotic thought.” 41 In this account, the real slavery is consistently valuing
freedom, because such universality is tantamount to fascism

Tenderlibs and some bolsheviks are doing "oppressed people get to snitch" discourse on twitter, and it's truly unhinged. If a trans woman snitches on other trans women and they all end up in jail is it "pro rape" to classify her a snitch? I hate that I predicted all this, but it was an easy call.

I mean, what has to be done with large fascist mobilisations is they need to be met in the streets with even larger anti-fascist mobilisations and fucking humiliated. The capacity for that in the UK has been significantly degraded in the last decade or so, significantly by the state.

The tech collective behind NoBlogs.org and a host of other free online initiatives has announced that they are shutting down as a consequence of the US State Department designating them a "global terrorist." This represents a significant blow to online freedom. keepitfree.ai/announcement...
The day we discovered we had been designated a global terrorist organization, we promised that we would try to resist as long as this was possible, that we would not back down as long as we could see options to stand our ground. For years, we have proudly maintained and defended a free, privacy-friendly, autonomous and politically committed infrastructure. 

“Stay human” is not an empty phrase to us.

It means, above all, that we have a responsibility to protect our users, those who build the human networks we rely, and for the communities who flooded us with messages of support and solidarity.Now turn off your PCs, get out of your homes, struggle, hug each other and keep on smiling. We are stopping, but the Resistance and ideas do not stop. Stay human.

We will soon send instructions on how to back up the content of your blogs, mailboxes and websites, along with more technical recommendations. But keep in mind that, just as the autistici.org domain was made unreachable without previous notice, in the next few days we might suffer similar issues that we may not be able to predict.
