From Ottawa Anarchist Bookfair

The Ottawa Anarchist Bookfair is run by a group of local anarchists and anarchic-organizers who are interested in cultivating a culture of autonomous and decentralized organizing in so-called ottawa.

📚 Anarchist Literature (books, zines, etc.)
🎨 Art & Wares
🤝 Workshops & skillshares
🫒 Free Food
🧸Free Childcare
😷 Mandatory Masking

We acknowledge that as settlers on these stolen and unceded Algonquin Anishinaabe lands, we represent part of the problem and are committed to operating in solidarity with Indigenous resistance and organizing however we can. Additionally, we acknowledge the ways that power structures such as colonialism, racism, classism, misogyny, ableism,and queerphobia replicate themselves both inside and outside of activist spaces. As a collective, we aim to make this event as assessible as possible to those left behind by the state and mainstream society.

For more details about our specific committments and agreements for the space, including accessibility information, check out our website ottanarchistbookfair.noblogs.or.

Please direct any questions or concerns directly to ottawaanarchistbookfair@proton.me.

Do milquetoast groups like DSA even require masks at their events anymore? what's up with this bizarre compulsion that only anarchists seem to have? It really seems to be mostly about virtue signaling at this point.

I guess some anarcho-lefties just got really high on the micro-controlling with MANDATORY requirements, that makes the masking thing look like some BDSM game. Or how supposedly anti-cop are so quick at behaving just like the cops?

this post is in so many ways is the epitome of the fragile fear-based safety-obsessed lameness that has taken hold of the anarchist space.

Dude, the bully in the school yard will still be there when school is abolished. It's about incremental enlightenment of the individual's values and emotional intelligence, not revolutionary tantrums, mmmkay?

" the bully in the school yard will still be there when school is abolished."

Wait, are you really just... dense? If school is abolished there'll be no schoolyard, so no schoolyard bully.
