I liked pairing these critical reflections about anarchist's engagement with, or distance and abstinence from, media projects with this short column by Bonanno that recently got uploaded to The Anarchist Library :

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/alfredo-m-bonanno-litanies

In it he says:

"At the present time, a list of attacks being carried out can only apparently be an impulse to act. Yes, it can fill the vacuum left by our demolished and afflicted conscience. Well, someone might say (actually, many, as I can see when I am moving around), at the end of the earth, it doesn’t matter where, someone is acting against power by attacking it in its interests, its structures, its technological components and everything else. My turn will come, of course it will, the little comrade says, holed up in their eternal doubts as perpetual preparer of the next action in the near future, always still in the making. For the moment it is enough for me to know what is being done, everywhere, even at the end of the earth, it doesn’t matter. I don’t care about differences of background, about the fact that the conditions are radically different from one place to another, it’s enough for us to go forward heads down. It’s enough to simply read this long list, it cheers me up and makes me feel proud to be an anarchist."

That reminds me more of sites like
Attaque.

I think it's nice to celebrate those who chose to leave their late night scrolls in favor late night strolls. But also cheers to those who can manage to do both!
