"On September 20th, we're taking our horses to Area 51 to see them aliens.
If we can raise $100,000 before then, we are going to book Lil Nas X to perform, on horseback, just outside of the compound. The concert will be free to every brave bastard who made the trip.
If we cannot raise the full amount to book Lil Nas X, or if he is unavailable, all funds raised will be donated to Casa Carmelita, a new community space in El Paso, TX that provides support to migrant families."

But in this case the workers are on strike, so isn't it a form of scabbing to shop there while the strike is ongoing? That's how I see it but maybe I'm missing something.

Definitely one of the stranger mainstream media articles on anarchism I've seen.
Enough With Crumbs, I want the Cake, by Mona Eltahawy: Power is anarchy. It dismantles patriarchal social structures and allows us to rebuild them with equity at their foundation.
Quote:
I wanted the boy and the two girls sitting with his family to know that women could be presidents and leaders. Much as with ambition, you need to see what you want to become. Egypt once had a queen called Hatshepsut who ruled for more than 20 years during the 15th century B.C. She was, for a time, the most powerful person in the ancient world. But I wanted someone who was still alive to point to as a reminder that women could be powerful.Had there been more time, I would have told those children that power is more complicated than presidents and chancellors. That power lives in more places than the presidential office. That there is a difference between power wielded in service of a few and power wielded in service of all.
In the intervening years, two of those countries that were led by women during the 2014 World Cup have served as reminders that when it comes to patriarchy and power, the truth is much more complicated than simply asking “Can a woman be president?” We must ask equally pertinent questions: Is that woman feminist? Is she invested in dismantling patriarchy? Will she use her power to uphold or diminish patriarchy? Both Brazil and Germany have given us complicated answers.

Speaking of right-wing trolls – I've been flipping through Michael Heinrich's new biography of Marx (recently uploaded to the Libcom library), and apparently, Ludwig Feuerbach wrote this back in 1839:
Feuerbach wrote:
Fantasy is the subjective intellectual activity that depicts things as they correspond to feeling; reason is the objective intellectual activity that depicts things as they are, without regard for the needs of feeling
Sounds an awful lot like "facts don't care about your feelings". Is Ben Shapiro a young Hegelian?!

Anyone fancy an anarchist meet up? This is actually serious - they genuinely consider themselves anarchists.

Well not really - apparently it’s gone off successfully for several years. I’m guessing it’s a sort of business seminar for edgy conservatives.

In a previous iteration they tried setting up an ancap paradise in Mexico, pissed off the cartels, with not unsurprising results.

Not really something I read as such, but just had a dream where I was watching a documentary that talked about a police operation directed by "the famous French police chief Henri Simon". Not really sure what made my subconscious slander him that way.

Got sucked into reading some election coverage on Vice and this quite tickled me:
Quote:
Here, we profile the other electoral tribes whose vote could swing this knife-edge election...RELUCTANT LABOUR-VOTING ANARCHIST
Will spend the first half of the campaign being disappointed at the Labour party for not being pro-migrant and anti-police, before coming round to the idea that five more years of Tory rule will make things materially worse. Eventually, they will allow themselves to post one ironic pro-Corbyn meme the day before the party pledges to equip every police officer and border guard with a taser.
Quietly votes Labour in the end with the same 'oh well, fuck it' attitude as impulse-buying an expensive coat. After all, a four-day week and eased property legislation might mean more squat parties. Will end up hating the Labour party all the more in the long run, whatever the outcome.

I actually saw a comment on Facebook stating that if you didn’t vote Labour in the forthcoming election you couldn’t seriously consider yourself an anarchist!
One deeply impressive attribute of the Corbyn supporter is their ability to repeatedly swerve questions pertaining to the attacks on the homeless and social cleansing policies of Labour councils! Ask once they’ll ignore it, another two or three times and they’ll do the same. Around the fifth time they’ll accuse you of privilege or or having no knowledge of how it is to be sick or poor(which is hilarious consider my experiences) and by the sixth or seventh you get called a boomer and banned from the group!
Amazingly, this is just as likely to happen on an anarchist group as a liberal one. Fucking hell.

I think this somehow illustrates that the term anarchist has now come to just be a name for a generally activist, Leftoid type.
