TotW: Contradictions, make peace or fight them?

We all have contradictions in our practice and our ideas. Not just anarchists, obviously, but definitely anarchists, perhaps most foundationally (at least, I like to think so).

What are the four main contradictions in your life with your anarchist ideas of how life should be (you can go meta huge, like capitalism, but probably that won't be as much fun for this topic), and what are ways that you plan to negotiate/mess with them this coming year?

Position of ABC-Belarus on the situation with Dzmitry Dubovski

write an anarchist prisoner... today!

From Anarchist Black Cross Belarus

The day after the detention of the group of anarcho-partisans the propaganda trash cans posted a video in which Dzmitry Dubovski admits his guilt in attacking the regime and testifies against other members of the group. At the time, the relatively hasty publication of the news by the Lukashists, the serious accusations of terrorism, and Dubovski’s own lengthy involvement in the anarchist movement led us to question the truthfulness of the story about the anarchist who had begun cooperating with the investigation.

Denunciation of sectarianism by the Biologica haunt

“Man, your head is haunted; you have wheels in your head! […] You have a fixed idea!” – Max Stirner

It’s been some time that I wanted my anger to be heard. An anger that awaited for its moment, so that it can be ready to be released from within me. If this denunciation won’t bother everyone, it will bother most, if not then it will bother a few. And for many reasons that I won’t analyse!

Is Space the Place? on Immediatism Podcast

These four semi-surreal anarchist essays look at space exploration as answering or not answering the needs and desires of anarchists.
In the Manifesto (episode 730) we are shown a vision of space exploration and colonization as exploitative and echoing the errors of the conquest of the Americas -- IF, that is, exploration can even get that far in the limited time left ahead of us by slow civilizational decline or sudden collapse.

Newsletter Autistici / Inventati – 2021

not all internet is created equal, still civ tho

from cavallete

We’re astonished at the proliferation of ridiculous distortions of the imaginary of the Net like crypto-coins and NFTs, or vaporware ideas like Web3 and the metaverse. Speculations that demonstrate how capitalism is the underlying issue, infiltrating our lives, replicating its disfunctionalities. But this greed is built on nothing. Through all this, we keep offering tools to those who want to fight, those who are not resigned, who want to resist, and who want to build something.

– regarding information about torture of anarcho-partisans

Today the sister of anarchist Dmitry Dubovsky published a short story after visiting the activist in the prison.

Previously, it was already reported that Sergei Romanov cut open his veins because of beatings by border guards.
