The pandemic is so thoroughly politicized here in the states that anarchists here have a hard time seeing a gathering of anarchists in a different country, in a different context, without shaming them. Why do anarchists here tend to support state-ordered lockdowns and bans? Is it because in evoking personal and collective responsibility, you fear being aligned with the right? If you don’t trust a gathering of anarchists to be responsible, then who do you trust? We cannot just live our lives online. This is no life.
