I fear that if we (anarchists and fellow travelers) cannot explicitly articulate the need for action, within the context of upending daily life as it is currently lived, the horrors that are the existent world will continue along with it. Even when protests become riots, if we find ourselves continuing to inhabit the position of waiting for specialized locations of resistance to make themselves known we will fail to meet the moment at hand, perpetually stuck in a reactive cycle of prairie-dogging into moments of rupture only to fall back in line when the tides subside. If we truly desire the end of this world of death machines, we cannot afford to wait and take action only once ruptures become clear. We must embody the constant state of rupture. But to do that, we need to recognize why we so often wait.
I keep trying to do situationist/surrealist praxis and failing so fucking hard
Like, you can’t just go out and hand people guns or deep theory. I mean, you could i guess but it would do as much harm as good.
But just disrupting the normal, even when there’s us marines deployed to your city and normies can smell the ambient tear gas, is so fucking hard.
