    At least according to an anarchist like Graeber, the state is just a way to take power out of the hands of the people and put it into the hands of the few. It’s a way to ensure that only certain people have the right to speak, and that the state has the exclusive right to use violence. Calling the Athenian state the ‘origin’ of democracy is just a way to ignore the thousands of years humans spent successfully governing themselves without a specialized class of rulers.


  • Hunger strikes for womens rights
    AIDS die-ins
    Occupying government official’s offices
    Creating semi-public spaces for them to gather, strategize, and comfort one another
    Creating zines and their own publishing houses
    Meetings, meetings, meetings where people would share their stories, understand the systemic nature of their oppression, and find ways to resist
    Developing alliances with other oppressed groups
    Infiltrating powerful social institutions and intimidating powerful members (removing homosexuality in the DSM)
    Creating allies with sympathetic members of said institutions
    Shifting cultural consensus through public displays of defiance (bra burnings and coming out)

    Politics is the final stage of toil after years of people working in the dark only to emerge and piss of most but win over some. Change doesn’t start with lobbying politicians or crafting laws, but standing up and saying together, “We exist and we matter”. If your movement’s first move is the political, you don’t understand how politics works. Turbulent flows shift mountains.


  • I looked into to using a laptop as a router a while back and decided against it. From what I read, the chip is designed for bursts of processing and isn’t designed to be under constant load like a router would be. That means the fan will always be running an you risk overheating, fan failure, and high power draw.

    That’s my non professional recollection so take it with a grain of salt.
