I Couldn’t Think Any Less Of You (Than You Already Think Of Yourself)

Refusing The Great Resignation

I couldn’t think any less of you than you already think of yourself. I am not talking about your hyper-inflated superficial self-worth that comes from identities, entitlement, social currency, or proficiency in the endless meaningless tasks and expectations that make up the techo-post-modern nothingness. I am, quite contrarily, talking about the intrinsic value you place on your very life, your intimate connection to the organic processes around and through you, and the unique meaningfulness in co-creating it. You may confuse it all in some sort of boiled frog cyber-soup half-baked blissed-out glossy plasticity, but from this side of things, its pretty fuckin’ clear. The Great Resignation is here. I refuse. Do you?

Back to Basics: 325 and the Renewed Critique of Technological Civilisation

From Global Network on Extremism and Technology by Mauro Lubrano

This Insight examines the return of 325, an insurrectionary anarchist zine, and the renewed prominence of anti-technology positions in its 13th issue, titled “Back to Basics.” This 76-page-long document, originally released in March 2025 with the PDF online version circulating later in September, articulates a worldview that regards advanced technologies not as neutral tools but as a totalising system of domination, a “mega-machine” that both enslaves and alienates. This framing has increasingly tangible consequences as similar narratives appear in communiqués claiming attacks on technology-related infrastructure and supply chains. The current trajectory of insurrectionary anarchist anti-tech discourse and practice reflects a deeper unease with the accelerating pace of technological change that intersects with pre-existing anarchist, primitivist, and eco-extremist traditions.

TOTW: Wither Theory?

Topic of the Week - In my local anarchist scene, anarchist theory and tendencies aren’t often discussed. There’s the obvious anarchist positions against capitalism, Marxism, and bigotries. But beyond that? Not much to say about theory of change, discussing the varieties of anarchist ideas, or even discussing the “big names” of anarchy: Bakunin, Kropotkin, Malatesta, Goldman, Bookchin, Aragorn!, or Zerzan. In fact, after a recent meeting, it was suggested to avoid centering particular anarchist beliefs, ie, anything beyond “capitalism, fascism, stalinism, and bigotry are bad.” This is because a statement such as “Fuck [person or idea]” may be interpreted by new folks as fact and not opinion. This is no shade on my people, I appreciate them deeply and some private context at least makes it somewhat understandable.

From Return Fire

Well, it took us considerably longer to get this ready than we’d hoped: adaptation to design advice meant a re-haul of what we’d prepared as the promised forthcoming double-release at the point we printed Return Fire vol.6 chap.6 last year, then additional life events added delays…

Scrutiny #1 (an anarch journal of review) NOW AVAILABLE!

Scrutiny is sorely needed, everywhere. That has been our assessment. If we are to move beyond the banal and redundant self-referential mediocrity of this current reality, we need to be far more relationally critical and honest, not only of the horrifying world at large, the varied environments we are part of, and our own thoughts and actions, but most force- fully with the withering anarchist space we still dwell within (somewhat reluctantly and certainly marginally at this point, we suppose).
