Truly defending yourself from very real threats isn’t violent. It’s effective. And it’s more effective than non-violence.

We should be learning to defend ourselves, not ask for permission. We should be cutting wires and slashing tires and blowing up pipelines. We should be exploding empty Teslas and flooding Mar-a-Lago.
Also: "We face powerful adversaries, but the majority of people, including many of their current supporters, have good reason to oppose them alongside us. If we bring people together, if we demonstrate effective ways to fight back, putting our own risk tolerance at the disposal of larger struggles, many more people will eventually join us."
It's safer in the front.

And: The old world is in flames around us.
There is no more middle ground. If you care about public health—if you care about medical research—if you care about climate change, labor conditions, the well-being of children in war zones, the price of groceries—you have to become a revolutionary.

To be an anarchist means to recognize that our freedom and well-being are inextricably bound up with the freedom and well-being of billions like us. It means discarding all the old excuses for remaining subservient to those who only endeavor to enrich themselves at others’ expense. It means becoming fiercely loyal to what is best in ourselves and each other, to our capacity for compassion and cooperation and courage. Across two centuries, anarchists have resisted under monarchies and persisted
through dictatorships. Now that liberal democracy and neoliberal capitalism are concluding in a new form of tyranny, a new generation must draw on this long legacy of struggle.
There is no more middle ground.
If you care about public health, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about medical research, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about climate change, labor conditions, the well-being of children in warzones, there is nothing else for it—you have to become a
revolutionary.
There is no going back to the way things were, to the future that we once anticipated. The old world is in flames around us.
Become an anarchist, or forever hold your peace.
