Barrett Brown - Hacktivist, Narcissist, Anonymous

From Anarchy Tube

How does someone introduce Barrett Brown? That's a really tough one because the personal, professional, and political stories play off each other in numerous ways. I would have to say that first of all, Barrett Brown is one of too few to survive a very intense era of anti-authoritarian activism and state repression. In addition, Brown is a survivor of the innumerable disappointments that I feel have had a big impact on the way things are now. He is someone who has comprehended the contemporary moment and has participated in its unfolding with the skills at his disposal and he is someone who has paid a big price for taking those risks. Naturally, his recently released book, "My Glorious Defeats: Hacktivist, Narcissist, Anonymous: A Memoir of Barrett Brown" is an excellent insight into what I just said and though I'm only on Chapter 5, it has been an enjoyable read.

A Message From Your Jewish Comrade

From Cyber Dandy

I’ve watched this grow for my entire life (I’m 37 y/o) and for as much as I’ve seen antifa and anarchists generally beat back neo-Nazis and other White Supremacist organizers, the truth is that by the time someone joins an antisemitic group they have already gone through a long path of ignorance. The bulk of antisemitism is learned before anyone commits to a full-blown antisemitic ideology and it is learned in much more every-day places. And what makes it possible to learn antisemitism is the ignorance about Jews to begin with.
