Nexus X HumectressDirect Action Wins Again
If you’re not following the Swann Street siege story this morning, it’s incredible.
Don’t Vote, It Only Legitimizes Them
There are some anarchists who believe in voting for the “lesser of the evils” (although whom they consider to be the “lesser evil” is dependent on what kind of hyphenated anarchist they are). In 2016, I knew self-proclaimed “anarchists” who voted for Clinton, Trump, Johnson, Stein, Castle, the […]
I Witnessed Cops Using Tear Gas, Rubber Bullets, and Sound Cannons Against Anti-Pipeline Protesters
From 2016. Police actions against the Dakota Pipeline protestors were a test market in state repression. By Wes Enzinna Mother Jones Police tactics at the Dakota Access Pipeline protest grew dramatically more aggressive last week, with law enforcement using tear gas, rubber pellets, sound cannons, and other controversial […]
Looting, Fires and Gunfire Against Police in United States
The evidence is overwhelming that this is a low-intensity insurgency, and not just handfuls of “extremists” or conventional criminal sectors, though those are obviously present as well. AMW English On Monday, June 1, the insurrectionary wind continues to blow on the streets of many cities of the United […]
Mexico Protester Sets Police Officer on Fire As Man’s Death in Custody Triggers Demonstrations
The Mexicans don’t fuck around. While I was in Mexico a few years back, the Acapulco city police massacred 45 student protestors at one point. By Chantal Da Silva Newsweek Protests have ignited across the U.S. and around the world over the death of George Floyd—a black man […]
Yes, But…
The effect of the civil rights movement was to co-opt the black middle class and integrate it into the system, while altering the civil religion/ideological superstructure of the state to include a “racial redemption” narrative. Meanwhile, post-1968, the state launched a counter-offensive under the guise of the “war […]
Protests and Riots, Red Blue
As I have pointed out in some recent posts, we are not dealing with Socratic thinkers here. The Red/Blue tribal civil war is the modern American version of the Protestant/Catholic conflict in Europe during the early modern period or the Sunni/Shia conflict in the Middle East today. Essentially, […]
What we do and don’t know about the extremists taking part in riots across the US
There are plenty of Antifa, boogaloos/accelerationists, “white supremacists,” “anarchists,” etc. involved in this but there is not anywhere near enough of them to make an insurrection this large happen. All of these “extremist” groups are just a side issue that is barely relevant at all. This is a […]
Caught on camera, police explode in rage and violence across the US
The actions of protestors/insurgents and cops alike have been widely diverse in this thing. Some cops have engaged in random violence and staged riots of their own, some have tried to engage in conventional law enforcement activity, others have stood down and largely done nothing, and some have […]
“Good Cop Bad Cop” Technique Rebranded As “Accomplice Cop, Murderer Cop”
By Janet Danek The Hard Times MINNEAPOLIS — Law enforcement officials have renamed the interrogation tactic “Good Cop, Bad Cop” to “Accomplice Cop, Murderer Cop” to more accurately reflect the reality of modern police dynamics, the Minneapolis Police Department confirmed on Wednesday. “We’ve been calling it ‘Good Cop, […]
Washington Monument struck by lightning
“And the Lord said, ‘No justice, no peace. Black lives matter.” LOL BBC Lightning struck the Washington DC on Thursday night as the city was under a flash flood warning. One bolt from the storm hit the Washington Monument. Two national guard troops were seriously injured by the […]

Trump’s job approval dives amid civil unrest
Trump always struck me as the Red Tribe’s last stand in terms of trying to reclaim their former position of hegemony. In fact, one “conservative” commentator called the 2016 election a “Flight 93” event. Recent events seem to have sealed the deal in terms of rising Blue Tribe […]
Horrific video shows police SHOVE elderly man to ground
This is why we have anti-police riots.
Is this Joe Biden’s ‘deplorables’ moment?
Saager is wrong when he says that Trump’s “base” is 33% of the US. He was elected with the votes of only 19% of the US population, and 26% of eligible voters. His hard-core loyalists are probably a much smaller group. Krystal and Saagar react to Joe Biden’s […]
The real reason stock market is up while country burns
The insurrection has been a rebellion against the police state, but the police state is only a tool of the ruling class. The ruling class proper remains unscathed. On a class level, while it is true that capitalist corporations have taken a few minor hits here and there […]
Hannity: Democrats are taking big steps to defund and dismantle the police
Ironically, these FOX News guys have become the biggest publicists for the “defund the police” movement. There is a “defund the police” banner hanging on the building next to my residence.
As the left calls to ‘defund police’, US gun sales spike
As an anarchist who is anti-police and pro-gun rights, I’d say this is a win-win situation.
Tucker: Media ignore victims to the riots
Regrettably, wars produce casualties. The present situation is not yet a conventional civil war, but it is more than simply a series of riots or a crime wave. It is a genuine insurrection, albeit one that is largely spontaneous, decentralized, and uncoordinated which is both an advantage and […]
Tucker: The Cultural Revolution has come to America
On one hand, Carlson is correct that there is a dangerous totalitarian element on the margins of the insurrection, and that such elements are motivated by the ambition of riding the wave of a popular rebellion to power, only to set up a tyrannical state of their own […]
Protests against police violence sweep across small-town America
The Popo seriously fucked up this time. Even the deep red zones are turning against the police state, which is actually not surprising because a lot of those places include radicalized gun owners who are distrustful of law enforcement. Many people in these areas have been victimized by […]
Looters who hit L.A. stores explain what they did: ‘Get my portion!’
A “stimulus” or “bailout” of their own. “Yes, we can,” lol. By Maya Lau, Alejandra Reyes-Velarde, Matt Hamilton Los Angeles Times The young man flanked the shattered entry of a ransacked CVS in Santa Monica, where people had swept the shelves clean of everything from diapers to detergent. […]
Unconscious Reactions Separate Liberals and Conservatives
For some time, I have largely regarded ideological conflict as a conflict between what I have called “psychological tribes” featuring groups of people with different personality types and psychological makeups, with these personality differences probably being rooted in genetics. In order words, people are genetically predisposed to have […]
Kyle Kulinski says Trump actions so bad he may vote Biden
So Kyle now favors Hubert Humphrey Biden over Richard Nixon Trump? A Biden victory will result in the neoliberal class and Deep State collectively trying to consolidate their position while a Trump victory will likely result in more fragmentation. Krystal and Saagar respond to Kyle Kulinkski’s pivot […]
Mexican man dies after he was ‘beaten and tortured by police for not wearing a face mask’
In the US, this would put the Left is the difficult position of having to either side with the cops or with the anti-lockdowners. By Adry Torres Daily Mail Video posted on social media this week showed Giovanni López being beaten by police officers in Jalisco, Mexico, on […]
Mexican protesters clash with police over custody death
Reuters MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexicans protested against police brutality on Thursday in the second-largest city, Guadalajara, calling for authorities to be held accountable for the death in custody of a local man allegedly arrested over not wearing a face mask in public. Protests have swelled in cities […]
LRADs and Sound Cannons Are NOT Safe. Here’s How To Minimize Their Effects.
Rediscovering anarcho-perennialism
By Paul Cudenec An email I received after posting the quotations from Jung the other day has given me some cause for thought. In that short blog update I referred to the ‘perennialist’ tradition and this, I now realise, needs some clarification. I had fondly imagined that the […]
“Reflections on the Revolution in 2020 America”
I am sometimes asked how I, as a radical-anarchist-extremist, can have a parallel interest in conservative or right-wing thought. But I simply utilize “conservative thought” as a supplemental means of correcting the limitations of “radical thought.” Here is an illustration: A correspondent offers what is essentially a Burkean […]
How has Conservatism Inc. responded to the riots?
Conservatism, Inc. has vacillated between embracing faux wokeness and law and order rhetoric, sometimes trying to do both at the same time (see Sean Hannity). Hilarious.
Co-opted Already?
The neoliberals are making their move to co-opt the insurrection. It’s pathetic that Biden, a multi-decades-long architect of the police state, is now embraced as a proponent of civil rights and opposition to police brutality.
EXPLOSIVE racist revelations in Arbery case, new March On Washington announced
There is a lot of interesting information in this segment. Apparently, Chauvin was actually in charge of training new officers. Krystal and Saagar discuss developments in the George Floyd case as three former officers charged in Floyd’s death make their first court appearance.
Things That Co-Exist
Conscious Resistance Network Things that all co-exist: – Racism – Racism within police departments (obviously not all cops) – A growing police and surveillance state that will kill anyone in the way

Exiting Anarchist Politics: Pan-Anarchism in Action?
The eco-villagers, exitarians, panarchists, radical anc-aps/agorists, national-anarchists, bolobolo fans, democratic confederalists, startuppers, intentional communards, neo-tribalists, PLEers, SEZers, crypto-anarchists, seasteaders, smart citiers, new urbanists, micronationalists, and Benedict optionists all have some interesting ideas that might fit under the paradigm of pan-anarchism, from far left to far right, and spanning […]
Joe Rogan Experience #1485 – Krystal & Saagar
This is an interesting discussion. When Rogan asks them what their preferred solutions are to current economic problems, they both have what I consider to be a “reactionary” (turn black the clock) position. Saager’s ideal amounts to the dominant paradigm in the 1950s of New Deal welfare statism, […]
NY riot cops suspended after shoving man, 75, to the ground and leaving him bleeding and unconscious
‘Da pigs done gone piggin’ again. Riot cops in western New York shoved an elderly man to the ground, where he lay bleeding and unconscious on the pavement.

Armed Neighborhood Groups Form In The Absence Of Police Protection
Direct action wins again. By Leila Fadel NPR Cesia Baires knocks on the three apartment doors above her restaurant and a neighboring taqueria just before curfew. A woman opens the door. Her two young children are inside. “Remember,” she says to them in Spanish. “Same thing as yesterday. […]
This Is Not a Revolution. It’s a Blueprint for Locking Down the Nation
John Whitehead is one of the very best critics of the police state out there. The System’s response to the insurrection has been interesting. Clearly, substantial sectors of the rising ruling class (the techno-oligarch/financier/new clerisy alliance) are trying to co-opt the insurrection, perhaps most of them. Lower to […]
Portland superintendent says he’s ‘discontinuing’ presence of armed police officers in schools
No more pigs in Portland’s child prisons. By Eder Campuzano | The Oregonian/OregonLive Portland Public Schools will no longer have city police officers patrol the halls of its nine high schools, nor will the other two school districts inside Portland city limits. Portland Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero on Thursday […]
Bank of America cuts business ties with detention centers, private prisons
This article is a year old, but it’s relevant to current events. Here we have not only the ruling class but the banskters no less trying to coopt opposition movements and use “wokeness” as a marketing gimmick. Private prisons are constantly blamed by liberal and left opinion for […]
Only 18 Percent of Portland’s Police Live Inside the City Limits. Does That Matter?
Outside agitators causing trouble. by Alex Zielinski Portland Mercury Eighteen percent. That’s how many police officers in the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) actually live in the city they’re sworn to protect. According to city data obtained by the Mercury in a public records request, only 158 of the […]
This Is Not A Rhetorical Question But Is A Inquiring One, Where Is The Black Nationalist Pan Afrikans?

The Minneapolis Rebellion So Far, According to the People Living It

The Problem is the System, Not Its Mercenaries
By Troy Southgate Having mentioned in an Anarchist forum that George Floyd was apparently charged with holding a gun to the stomach of a pregnant Black woman, or so various sub-media sources claim, I was criticised on the basis that it does not justify his murder. That’s perfectly […]
