>let's not forget when CrimethInc expelled all traveler-kids from anarchy

Did I hear that right? What's that referring to?

initially celebrated the traveler life, but when Evasion was published, and got criticized, crimethinc changed their story and started saying evasion-style life was bad.

that's ... probably not what happened?

a bunch of casual snark, lazily directed at "lifestyle anarchists", got all tied up with that book, as well as maybe some romanticization by "oogle imitators" but the book is about a person who was living on the run from the law.

also maybe it's fun to dunk on trust fund oogle poverty tourist kids or whatever but i'm always wary of those stereotypes too.

it's a fun read and self deprecating humour and all that but is this a "changed their story" narrative? or just a lost-in-translation thing that always happens with media projects?

every time some young person is a little bit... self aggrandizing, I remind myself that I used to be in my 20s too.

Bruh I'm scared what is a stink pit
