Nexus X HumectressFrom 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
“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 […]
By Anarchy Man There are hardly any words that could be used to describe this social order briefly and in more detail.
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 […]
This is why we have anti-police riots.
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 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 […]
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 an anarchist who is anti-police and pro-gun rights, I’d say this is a win-win situation.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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.
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.
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
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 […]
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, […]
‘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.

Solidarity. Reuters ATHENS (Reuters) – Demonstrators hurled firebombs in a march towards the U.S. Embassy compound in Athens on Wednesday in a protest over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Reuters journalists saw demonstrators throwing several flaming objects which erupted into flames on the street towards the […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

By Lucy Diavolo Teen Vogue A week of rebellion in Minneapolis has followed the death of George Floyd at the hands of police. The uprising there crescendoed to the burning of the police department’s 3rd precinct, on Thursday, and continues to escalate with an expansive rollout of heavily […]
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 […]
The cops tear-gassed a rally a block away from my residence the other night just like they did at the White House In lieu of shields, protestors use umbrellas in testudo formations to block tear gas canisters and other projectiles.
Fragmentation? The CIA and the Pentagon were actually funding opposite sides in the Syrian civil war.
