Anarchist Infighting

From Debate Me, Bro by mk zariel & Hayden R.

a reader asked how we handle conflict in anarchist spaces. so Hayden R. and i are co-editing a series of guest posts on this topic—specifically your stories. tell us about your messiest affinity group drama, your transformative justice process, who’s cancelling who on Mastodon, how you deal with it when every anarchist you know is upset at each other, and the times when conflicts have been resolved and helped you come back stronger and freer.

The Latest Witch Hunt

from Scarlet Imprint by Peter Grey

Social media is designed to manufacture the three cons: conflict, conformity and consumption. The sheer level of toxicity has led the silent majority to abandon platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, leaving them largely to the purveyors of outrage who align most perfectly with the three cons.

The requirement for conformity has produced an absolutely chilling effect on free speech and the imposition of a rigid binary. That kind of black and white thinking is anathema to the practice of magic and witchcraft. It is the new puritanism, to which I reply non serviam.
