You say, "There's nothing here that's distinguishable from a particularly woke corporate twitter account."

That's funny, and certainly your best point, although still not actually true, because there is something distinguishable (which, again, makes me want to mention reading comprehension). Basically, a "particularly woke corporate Twitter account" wouldn't call for collective criminal action, which the authors do with this call, though admittedly in oblique terms.

I'm not saying that's anarchy or whatever, but it's a difference.

Anyway, I said "the authors" up there because, well, this is not "CrimethInc." writing this. Obviously some people who feel they can speak for CrimethInc. have signed off on it, and allowed it to be put on the website, but what I'm seeing here is crimethinc.com (and other CT social media accounts) being used as a communication platform. Let me just say that, personally, I find something like this (which, I repeat, isn't my thing) being communicated on CT less objectionable than, I don't know, Maldicion Extremista being crossposted on @news. But we can differ on this sort of thing, that's fine.

Anyway, with respect to what CT really is, beyond this matter of boosting things on its webspace and signing off on shit, I don't think that there are "two projects that directly oppose each other" under the same name. CT always did social-revolutionary sorts of shit, as far as I remember, and I believe there is still just as much potential for the lifestylist nonsense we loved and cherished to keep happening, if only someone would write that shit. You could submit an article about gay saunas, and if it was good, they'd probably publish that shit!
