“Just in case there are any big Iran fans out there, or fans of large scale explosive attacks against “the enemy” or fans of describing an entire country, ethnicity, or religious group as enemy, Iran’s missile barrage also killed several people in a Palestinian town, and Iran practices torture, execution, and mass imprisonment against internal political and religious enemies, as well as ethnic cleansing against Kurds.”
If I post this quote on my Substack, will the algorithm get rid of all the tankies for me? 😂 Thanks for your writing as always Peter.
I just want to know where this white supremacy issue got linked to anarchists. A lot of anarchist thought was developed and organized by white people, and while I agree there may well be white supremacy ideology involved, anarchists as a whole have taken a disappointing turn by allowing themselves to be divided by race.
I have no special knowledge about who's pulling the strings, I can make some guesses that I think are pretty good, but I'm also suspicious that the introduction of white supremacy as a more central subject of focus into anarchist groups may well be a deliberate effort to industry create suspicion, divide, and distract from core philosophical points regarding social structures and the nature of states and governments.
I'm white and have long considered myself an anarchist, but have moved away from involvement with activity and groups precisely because it seems like divisive ideology is being injected into the community in ways that spread organically and undermine solidarity while biasing towards political influence activities. The anarchists I grew up with and the modern non trump supporting far right actually have a huge amount in common, and would be a serious problem for the Leviathan if they were allowed to actively collaborate and discover that there is more benefit to cooperation and more shared goals than opposition. My personal opinion is this is exactly the reason for many info war tactics and a lot of people aren't recognizing it.
I still have faith that we can get to a point where we see through the information warfare and once again embrace founding ideologies and mutualistic stances among groups with different views on subjects that are far less important. The anarchists are being massively disempowered by cutting edge propaganda tech, while the global police state and banking cartels march on with their international corporate friends and malicious oligarchs into a dystopian technocracy. We _must_ recover the ability to think deeply and critically about multiple levels of implications, now more than ever, because so much misdirection and powerful algorithmic influences are getting the better of the heart: advancement of common human well-being.
