Not to sound like a grumpy old man, but this shit has escalated in the past several years in a way that is alarming. Yes, tactics need to evolve (though pepper spray and lock-gluing are pretty old-school and oogle-worthy methods), doxing is new ground, and like other technologies of war (napalm, the atomic bomb...) Need to be approached with fear and caution.

Yes. pepper spray and steal and sabotage our enemies, but who are our enemies? If that isn't clear, we will eat ourselves. We can have personal beef and grievances without recreating the self-destructive world of the left (I actually envision something like Fredy Perlman described in Against His-tory, Against Leviathon! where we put on armor to protect ourselves from the outside, but the armor becomes part of us and we, in turn become part of the Leviathon). Or maybe we can't, which is where some of the projects Aragorn! works on are actually so timely, at least in my opinion.

To the bigger question: are oogles, or anarchists, or whoever the cops now? I don't care what color you add to your black flag, but this is actually an existential question for anarchists, in my opinion.
