System Fail #16: Burning The Binary

Via It's Going Down

SubMedia returns with a new episode of System Fail, which looks at global news from an anarchist perspective.

In the 16th episode of System Fail we take a look at the, let’s say, unorthodox hobbies of Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro.

Meanwhile, something stinks in the Baltic sea.

Later Dee laments on the human inability to efficiently process binary data. As many humans fixate on the imperialist anti-imperialist binary they have ended up reducing complicated struggles into state-centric dichotomies.

Which brings us to Iran where protests over the state murder of Zhina Amini have entered their 4th week with no signs of slowing down and state forces have ramped up their repression.

Finally we cover the latest prison strike in the US where members of the Free Alabama Movement have coordinated a work stoppage of thousands of prisoners across multiple facilities.

I enjoy their content and commentary. Couldn't hear the sound. I think the robot is interesting as an observer of the human behavior. I think our enemy is not ourselves and what people think but those who think they should control people and do it on a daily basis. The reference to elite secret organizations. I don't know what they said about it, but distrust of authority I think is generally healthy and not without an element of anarchy. What is an accredited source and not is biased. That's why I'm not watching corporate news. And that is a one-way medium mostly whose validity is measured (wrongly) by its omnipresense. I think we can rise above the dichotomy and free ourselves from their control when we realize what we can do to free ourselves and not participate in their show. When people understand that the people are good and those who control them are more malevolent than any supervillian. There are also interests in other parts of the world that influence others into having less of a choice. Like Iran, I think there is patriarchy as in all colonized societies, but I suspect it does not come from the people but enforcement from the elite which use that as a form of control necessary to preserve their economic interests. Freedom to prisoners of all prisons of the hierarchy.
