Context because somehow it seems to hard for the user to actually link any relavent explaination. I

Important to note: Even the Buchenwald comitee themselves are not calling the words “to each his own” a dogwhistle when used in the english language.

PTB because rule 1 - “Be civil” is super inappropriate when it comes to an ongoing genocide and removing someone calling out propaganda in an impolite way is in a way taking sides

more on a personal note: Are you really sure you are helping Palestinians with this kind of online posting? Like I think you could actually make reasonable arguments instead of making snarky comments. Also every comment under Israeli propaganda increases the reach of said propaganda, especially on Lemmy where comments increase the “Active” metric by a lot and push otherwise ignored posts into the feed of thousands

Margaret seems to have stepped back a little from podcasts (as far as i can tell), but you can find older podcasts episodes where she hosted / participated here: https://channelzeronetwork.com/

Linking one I liked: Margaret and Casandra on “How To Get Started Prepping…Or Getting Prepared”

100k AFTER all your expenses.

I feel like many great anarchist communicators are (semi) anonymous and publish texts as / via collectives. thinking about individuals that publish their work, Peter Gelderloos comes to mind

If you are more flexible regarding the medium - so not just straight up texts - it gets easier to find anarchists with extensive libraries of their opinions, such as YouTubers like Andrewism, Anark and Zoe Baker or writers such as Margaret Killjoy

I have to admit that my examples are not that similar, but I know the person running https://paradox-a.de/ is pretty academic, but most of their texts are german.

Thank you for responding. While I don’t agree I can see your reasoning and appreciate your approach of communicating it in a transparent way.

Everyone needs to do their part. That includes you and me. Dont wait for others to step up, show responsibility by leading by example.

How does this post even make sense in this community? literally written in the sidebar:

The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.

If only one man owns everything, then expropriation would be really fast in theory

I am also wondering how peaceful movements that succeeded would have continued if they failed eirh their strategies. Would they have turned (imo rightfully) violent and would that have worked or not? Or the other way around for movement labelled as violent.

But I just want to debunk this idea that nonviolent resistance can’t work against a violent enemy. It’s simply not true.

I think thats a important point to bring up in discussions. I want people to be informed about as many options as possible in the hope of them being able to actively choose the ones best fitting for them.

I heard of it. Sounded really scary and awful. I do not get your point tho

Folks in Minneapolis burned down a whole police station after throwing bricks. This is of course an extreme example but it should show the possibilities of how it could go instead.

Most examples of overthrown dictatorships seem to be after they were already in place for atleast a few years to sometimes dozens of years. This is not the current situation in the so called USA where we see an rising and escalating fascist regime trying to take hold.

In general I think choosing nonviolence because it worked in the past and it seems efficient is not the way to go. Instead look if its the best for you individually and collectivly in your specific circumstances and if its in line with your ethics/morals and with you current emotions and goals. Nothing is won by denying yourself and others the way you/they want and can resist your/their best way.

First, look up Martin Luther King. He called for non-violence in a situation that was much worse, against a tougher foe.

So? I dont agree with him.

Second, who made you leader? Who decided that you had the right to instigate violence?

I am not presenting as an authority figure or as anyones boss. I am fine if you dont want to join. I think thats totally valid. But I can “instigate violence” because its covered by the instance rules, because its not looked down upon in this community and because from my anarchist perspective it seems to be one of the most effective actions you can currently take.

Because you keep ignoring my basic point, that it’s not going to be the one who throws the brick who will get caught.

Its just a statement without any reasoning, proof or context. As I have shown multiple times in our discussion, I value different viewpoints especially if they get brought forward kn good faith. But valuing them doesnt mean I have to agree with everything you say.

Things I mostly found on reddit:

• anarchist library in chinese lanuage. i hope its not just translations but maybe also original texts?
• there seem to be / have been 2 chapters of food not bombs in China, based on this map here https://foodnotbombs.net/info/locations/
• copy from a 4 year old reddit comment that seemed to contain some interesting breadcrumbs that might lead you to more uptodate information:

Yes. But there’s not much publicly available. Just a food not bombs and I think a social space in Guangzhou. I think there is likely a larger underground of squats that are not really easy to find out about.

The Wuhan punks had a small bookstore/gathering space that was shut down in 2016 due to non-payment of rent.

You are acting as if police brutality and police murder are the fault of those that throw the first stone. Its not. Its not like peacefulness or being passive makes you safe from police brutality, because you have very limited control how the police as a whole and how individual cops actually act.

Also, the people who were showing up to start trouble were usually police agents or locals who thought that it would be fun to throw a rock at a cop. The IWW people knew more about police violence then you ever will; they were around before Miranda Rights and body cams. If they thought having a team there was a good idea, you should learn from them.

That mght be true in the time you are talking about, but currently rioting is a thing many people do and its shown to be effective. The George Floyd uprising was as big and powerful because of the rioting and not despite it.

This does not mean disregarding past experiences, but (to me seemingly) more recent experiences show the power of riots and the ways anarchists can show solidarity, especially in the context of the so call USA.

I also think calling for peacefulness when friends, families, colleges, neighbors, comrades get disappeared is just not what is needed in these circumstances and its also not stopping any of this.

So the IWW had their own police? Not a good look

showed up at a protest looking to start trouble.

Isnt that the point? Creating trouble to stop the deportations? Of course there should be places and space for actions where people can participate that dont want to riot / be near a riot.

The thumbnail is using the political compass as a way to assign well known personalities to political ideology. Lenin for authoritarian left, Trump for autoritarian right, Elmo for liberarian right and ?/nobody for libertarian left. We could discuss these placements, but the main point is that for libertarian left aka anarchism there is no leader assigned

Also thumbnails might be different for different users because of A/B testing from YouTubers or just normal updates/changes to the video by the creator

I dont think shaming people for using corporate social media will make them more likely to drop corporate social media. But even if it works, do we really want people to use Lemmy because we shamed them and not because the actually really good reasons to use it?

We were part of an ‘anarchist’ group once but we left because two people became the defacto ‘leaders’ and kept telling us that we couldn’t do things without ever explaining what they meant beyond just saying that we couldn’t (in a more specific way but we don’t want to let on should they ever find this).

That sounds like a really shitty experience. I left a (non anarchist) group recently because they tried to hide all the hidden hierarchies / differences in decision making influence, at least it felt to me like that.
