  • I don’t disagree with your point in general, but this doesn’t make much sense:

    If people suffer from the collapse of harmful machinery, it is the fault of the machinery.
    No one would have collapsed it if it was not harmful.

    A lot of people depend on machines to stay alive, machines that do produce harmful impacts around the world (that may or may not be possible to reduce), like advanced medical equipment that is dependent on semiconductors.

    As a disabled person myself, I prefer if no one has to die.






  • Am anarchist and never voted. I see voting as a very ineffective action at best.

    With that being said, I don’t vote because I have better shit to do. Not out of some principle or belief that I’m doing something effective by not voting.

    I’m against taking part in a community based around refusal to vote, because the point of not voting should be passive. It should be “I’m already doing a lot of other more important shit to fight the State so why bother?” And not “I don’t vote therefore I am having an impact”.

    Just like voting is damn near useless, organizing and campaigning around not voting is also pretty meh.

    Edit: OP isn’t doing a false flag. That’s a pretty common view among anarchists. Especially offline.




  • I recommend trying to reach put to large organizations that align with your interests in this case.

    Especifismo: black rose anarchist federation

    Radical unionism: Industrial Workers of the World

    Both of those orgs will be able to help a lot more than we can, if you want to build something aligned to them. Building different organizations take different approaches, and they can share their experiences and strategies that are more likely to succeed.

    I’m not from the US, so I don’t know many more organizations. But the principle stays the same: you want to build a mutual aid network, try talking with people already working on those, even if they aren’t from the same place.

    Now, as to what exactly amongst each of those you should do, I think only you can answer. My approach is that the best thing is something that touches you (be either in your heart, your body or your wallet). So basically, what do you feel like doing?

    I wish you the best of luck, comrade :)
