The sharing of the names and faces of marginalized achievements and experiences has its place and its time, and it’s good to give credit where credit is due but don’t overdo it. A post about a highly unjustified arrest of an antifascist activist is not better with their name and face in it. All that … Continue reading

The omnipresence of male violence in society absolutely has an impact on the amount of transmasculine people that do not identify as a man. But it would be false and cruel to claim that some transmasculine people identify as non-binary simply to ‘avoid facing their own male privilege’. As if transmasculine people were trying to … Continue reading
If you live in a place where polite ‘non-violent’ demonstrations are not beaten and shot up by fascists, you need to realize that the only reason for that is that the fascists don’t feel strong enough to do it. They would if they could. Polite ‘non-violent’ demonstrations always take place inside the safety created by … Continue reading

The road to fascism
I’ve been reading Martin Kitchen’s book ‘fascism’, who has an interesting theory about the rise of fascism. The theory is incredibly complex and those that love dense theory should probably read it themselves, but I’ve put together a little adaptation of my own (that Kitchen would probably criticize on many points): 1. First you got … Continue reading The road to fascism
Direct action hurts companies, exhibit A:
Watch the RWE AG (the company running the browncoal mine at the Hambach Forest which is occupied by activists) stock prices plummet as a result of the Hambi resistance to eviction, the protests and the re-occupation of the forest: 3 months not detailed enough for ya? here’s a one week overview: You can also note … Continue reading Direct action hurts companies, exhibit A:
Attacks and flexibility in activism One of the immediate results of being under attack (and I mean REAL attacks that have consequences, not just people disagreeing with you) as a political movement is that you lose your flexibility. Your points of view become solid things to defend, any step towards different points of view becomes … Continue reading
Pick your tactics
Let’s be real, ‘pick your battles’ is great advice when you’re wondering whether to interrupt the twat being racist on the bus, or to debate your homophobic aunt, but the usefulness of that advice runs out when there are consequences to not picking a battle. If you’re an antifascist, not picking a battle may mean … Continue reading Pick your tactics
Breaking the freeze in activists’ Fight-Flight-FREEZE. (1st draft)
You’re at a protest. Your comrades are by your side. A line of riot police move in to close off a street. Your comrades rush forward to push through, ready for impact. You stand, frozen to the ground. Heart pounding in your ear. Your comrades are in the thick of it. You want to help … Continue reading Breaking the freeze in activists’ Fight-Flight-FREEZE.

When other lgbt folk get mad/tell me I can’t refer to myself as queer or use it as a umbrella term, it sets off alarm bells in my head but I’m not sure why. There’s something icky about it that I can’t quite put my finger on, and I was wondering if you had any idea?
Well, I’ve written and reblogged some stuff about it.

More marginalized LGBT people (POC, working-class, trans people, etc) have been and are the most actively using queer because of its political message and inclusiveness. Anti-queer sentiment is … Continue reading When other lgbt folk get mad/tell me I can’t refer to myself as queer or use it as a umbrella term, it sets off alarm bells in my head but I’m not sure why.
