Anarchist and Antifascist Stickers Put Up in Central NJ

Anonymous Submission to Jersey Counter-Info

Anarchist and antifascist stickers were put up in bathroom stalls in central New Jersey.

Based direct action, brows. A few more stickers and the state will wither away in fear. No bathroom will be safe for fascist scums.

Everyone's direct action journey starts somewhere. It's inspiring to me to see amateur anarchists find the courage to do even this. Who knows what they'll be doing 5 or 10 excursions down the line ;)

"Who knows what they'll be doing 5 or 10 excursions down the line"

I know. They'll be ordering more sticker$, baby!

probably a media project or disavowing anarchism for something more comfy

What have you guys done that you can be the arbiters of legit or non-legit action? Just let people have fun making spontaneous art and tagging a place. It doesn't hurt you guys, right? And it costs nothing to not be negative. The FBI has released reports explaining that they destroy leftist spaces by bringing up trivial issues and getting everyone to argue over stupid shit and not like each other. If you guys aren't on the payroll, you should submit this as your application.

"What have you guys done that you can be the arbiters of legit or non-legit action?"

Nice try, FBI!

LOL "leftist spaces"

Aw u rite. Next time instead of burning some shit down or throwing some 'tovs we'll just stick up a few stickers, go back to the sacred "leftist space" for some pizza, and call it a day.

Obviously don't call it a day till you write a report back,,,,, for the Gram.

“ The FBI has released reports explaining that they destroy leftist spaces by bringing up trivial issues and getting everyone to argue over stupid shit and not like each other”

no, that’s you. nice copypasta. your comment will get deleted

There is ONE good thing about the FBI, they totally leave anarcho-nihilists alone, because they know we are not ideological, and our methodology is steered by our intense connections to our physiological empathic core, and therefore neutral, impotent and contented !

You have misunderstood anarcho-nihilists. We are neither neutral, impotent, nor contented. On the contrary we are chaotic, fully erect, and driven by desire NOT contentment!

Additionally the FBI do not leave us alone. Our comrades fill their prisons and top their lists.

I was just testing to see if there were any REAL anarcho-nihilists out there who would immediately object to my intellectual lure. Bravo brah OxO, welcome to the chaos AND incarceration, or the institutionalized Abyss!

These guise in a year from now will become full insurrecto eco-extremists and will post a communique about dropping a banana peel on a sidewalk (at 4 am while being black-clad and masked of course) so that someone walks on it at some point. Indiscriminate vengeance! *fist raised*

Funny how no one addressed the "it costs nothing to be nice" thing. You think a radical revolution is going to happen if we criticize everyone trying to join the movement? The people who put these things up are doing more than you guys, because this discourse is demoralizing me from action yet the original post inspired me to do more.

Your comments seem either:
1) Entirely self serving, because you guys want to feel like the "better anarchists", as if that's what anarchy is about
2) Purposely incendiary to stop people from using the site as much, since I'm still not convinced you guys aren't legitimately from a bullshit "sow divisions in an anarchist space" think-tank.

And either way, that's really disappointing to see. Just let people have fun.

"this discourse is demoralizing me from action yet the original post inspired me to do more"

Not the sacred discourse! Pay no attention, padwan. Do not be demoralized by the nihilists who are unimpressed with sticker report backs. Sticker away to you heart's content! If two stickers and a report back are powerful enough to change your mind just imagine what our sticker rebels can do with entire locally sourced booklets of them!

"Your comments seem either ..."

Learning what a nihilist is, you are. ~Master Yoda

Everybody knows this.

Whatever happened to humor, brow? There's nothing nefarious with a bit of satire. Self-satire is the sistah of self-criticism.

I agree with your points, but I feel like it might not read in a forum environment though. And how can we discern people who are just using satire and those who genuinely believe in mocking certain types of action? Further, does it even matter which type of person made the comment if the end result is the same?

Haha, i like it! Stickers are fun, and might inspire others or at least piss off people that are fun to piss off. Get 'em South Jersey and Central NJ! Anarchy

Stickering and tagging are both fun and useful. Report backs on simple stickering and tagging to please the content gods is weak af and is consumerist bullshit contributing to a less radical and therefore more civil for of acceptable anarchy. Got it?

That's a pretty good point! I wish you would have made it before I accused people of being undercover agents lol.

I agree that if Vox or Vice or some other similar media company owned by "board members" looking to make a buck off anarchist activity published this, it would be stupid consumerist bullshit. But, I see no harm in posting this, as no one is profiting off this. While we can't confirm this due to the lack of accountability anonymity provides (which I unfortunately thought people were abusing in this thread, but that's on me sorry), open-source media is more likely to not have the subliminal message stuff put in media with more access to capital (as anyone with enough capital to make wide reaching media uses that power to enforce the status quo they benefit so heavily from). Even more, while it may not be YOUR favorite type of content, it makes OTHER people happy to see new people potentially joining the movement (myself included!)

To me, this represents someone going out for a walk and snapping pictures of cool anarchist shit they stumbled on. Why shit on someone who just wanted to show off cool shit they found? Save that negative energy for the fascists!

Apology accepted.

We waste no energy applauding toothless, symbolic gestures that serve only to fuel the Spectacle and in doing so also contribute to de-fanging more radical urges.

"Save that negative energy for the fascists!"

Nihilists and negativity are inseparable. It's an inexhaustible and most wonderful thing.

Could you expand on that last point? While I feel like Freud's original style of nihilism was inseparable from extensional depression, and thus the feeling that everything is negative and nothing is worth pursuing, some more recent flavors of nihilism like absurdism and optimistic nihilism don't necessitate negativity.
