Just in case someone wants more context:
This is the “Amazon tower” in Berlin, a huge (for Berlin) office building that will be mainly/exclusively used by Amazon and this sparked some protests.

I dont have an idea for them, but I call dips on the windshield wipers
I dont think calling people a fed is fine or something we shoild be fine wirh in anarchist circles
As already pointed out Ted has highly problematic views that should also be present in his Manisfesto. There are probably anarchist text with similar perspectives that are not so full of bigotry. I would suggest looking into anti civ or other technology critical text on the anarchist library.
Besides that a person that I find very inspiring sometimes mentions the Unabomber and they seemed to be able to get atleast thought provoking perspextives put the Kaczynskis work.
Hey sorry but why are you reacting like that? Calling someone a cop in anarchist circles is a really heavy accusation and should only be done with actual proof. I also think we should own the fact that anarchists have different or sometimes stupid opinions. Othering people that we dont agree with does not foster an environment where people discuss openly and feel comfortable stating their views or asking questions.
Your second comment seems way better because it gives the person you are responding to and all other readers a chance to educate themselves.
To Change Everything - an anarchist appeal by crimethinc - because its an intro text that really shows the 2 points I really care about: anarchism is about life / living and anarchist ideals can be applied everywhere
Against the Logic of the Guillotine Why the Paris Commune Burned the Guillotine—and We Should Too - just a good text why shouldnt use the tools of the opressors (the state)
The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin - using sci-fi to show how an anarchist society might be organized and also what problems might arise
Jup. Reading “On Authority” a few years ago made me lose most of the respect I had for Engels / his writings
Yeah and still we should not push the message that Telegrams encryption is even remotely close to other encrypted messengers. I met more than one person that somehow thought their messages in Telegram are “safer” than they are in WhatsApp (and they never activated the encrypted chat oprion in Telegram)
It took the german goverment years to force Telegram to comply with their requests to get data and shut down specific groups. Also based on your location things that might be legal are not legal in a different location, from a German legal perspective there still lots of things happening in Telegram that are atleast a grey area(piracy, hate speech, porn) or straight up illegal(drugs, terrorist groups propaganda).
I am not in favor of the arrest or any goverment repression btw, I am just adding why goverments in europe might want to do stuff like this.
I dont think Telegram is something that I would call an “encrypted messenger”
Considering how hard it is for goverments to actually get Telegram to shutdown criminal chat groups or get chat logs (of unencrypted ) groups I think its at least more reasonable than the whole idea of banning E2E encryption.
80000+ Core Members. Seems like a big cult.
Do you have any experiences which type of outreach worked for you personally?
Interesting how many different (not so charitable) interpretation of this comic exist in thr comments.
To me this of course a simplification, as its a comic and was postes in !memes
In my opinion this comic shows how nationalism can be used to pit the working class against each other even tho their class interests are pretty similar, no matter which side of the border they are.
Then steal some time ;)
As a vegan, I also want a good live for all the pigs out there
My take: Well if the leave, the problem somehow took care of themselves. Ideally other communities would be informed about that fact, so the dangerous person has to take accountability before joining another community without working on themselves. So by leaving they are potentially choosing exile till they are ready to actively work on themselves. Idk how that would work for those that dont have a real choice because of a personality disorder or similar things.
I think the content here is pretty much in line with the name of the community. Never really saw anything that I would label reformist.
Occupy is probably pretty close to a popular movement that many anarchists dream about. I never participated but from what I heard / read it seems your judgement seems to spot on.
I think its important to point out, that even if a movement tries to put some anarchist ideals into practices, the goals often are not in line with anarchist ideals. Also more often than not, its really hard to have no hierarchies in a broader movement. Privilege and unspoken hierarchies around knowledge, skill and connections still exist and sometimes get really highlighted in supposedly “non hierarchical” environments.
If you like reading, there a lots of anarchist perspectives and shared experiences on the occupy movement in the anarchist library.
Its not a garbage take. They had the chance before and didnt, why would anyone trust them to do it this time?
