New Year, Same Shit

Long live anarchy!

From Inferno Urbano

Having nothing to celebrate we decided to attack, taking advantage of the chaotic new year’s eve festivities. So in the night of the 31st we set fire to a fibre optic pole in the hope that this would jam the dense network of connections that now pervades cities. An ever tightening network, between control and social anesthesia, but which also means that its links and nodes are everywhere therefore everywhere attackable.

Attack on Nuclear Infrastructure in Solidarity w/ Alfredo Cospito

the ccf symbol made with the removed bolts, nice

From Abolition Media

Full title: Attack on Nuclear Infrastructure in Grand Est Region, France in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

It was in this spirit that on Sunday December 11, during a night-time sabotage action, we went to a pylon of the Fessenheim-Paris EHV (Extra High Voltage) line and unscrewed the bolts. The pylon is still standing, but its structure is clearly compromised. Let our revolutionary anger act in alliance with nature, and let a winter storm do the rest!

From embers

From From Embers

Interview with the author of the PET Guide, a zine discussing secure digital communication tools from an anarchist perspective. We discuss Signal and its critics, and some new tools being released that incorporate peer-to-peer communication, end-to-end encryption and the Tor network.

Liaizon Wakest on Autonomous Social Media and the Fediverse

from The Final Straw Radio

This week, we spoke with Liaizon Wakest. Liaizon grew up in an anarchist commune in rural America. They can be found climbing into dumpsters from Mexico to Kazakhstan looking for trash to make art with. In recent years they have been focused on research into ethical technology and infrastructural anarchism. For the hour we speak about the interoperable, open source ensemble of federated online publishing servers and platforms known as the Fediverse and its most popular component, Mastodon.

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.

Planet Earth: The Final Frontier. Twenty and ready for twenty more

Planet Earth: The Final Frontier. Twenty and ready for twenty more

From cavallette dot noblogs

Twenty years have passed since the birth of Autistici / Inventati. Twenty years have passed since we ventured down this quite complicated road. Like any respectable end of the year, it is again time for evaluations. End of the year balances are mostly political rather than financial for us, although we cannot deny that we will, as always, ask you to support us economically.

Twenty years ago nobody did what we do. And even today nobody does it the way we do it. This is important to remember because 20 years of work to keep our project alive and functional, relying EXCLUSIVELY on the efforts of the volunteers involved and the spontaneous donations from our users deserve special attention.

Not a defense

via Act for Freedom Now!

Lecce, Italy : NOT A DEFENSE…

On 11th September a maxi-trial will begin in Lecce against almost a hundred demonstrators accused of having opposed the realization of the TAP gas pipeline in various ways. A sort of spectacular event with big numbers set up mainly to impress and leave a sign of repression that can also be a warning to others in some way. Besides the place, a bunker courtroom, chosen for the trial, officially for reasons linked to anti-Covid regulations, unofficially to create an atmosphere suitable for the criminalization of the TAP opposition, the obstinate and law-dependent clerks of Order and the Economy do not have much in their hands.

"So it's definitely necessary to break out Emacs and modify that Perl script." - the zuck

From Change dot org, via Anarchist Agency

Sign our open letter to oppose Facebook's "both sides" narrative as they align with the Trump administration to suppress the voices of activists and media producers associated with left protest movements.

We need a strong anarchist media alliance

From raddle.me/f/Anarchism/ by ziq

The recent erasure of anarchist spaces from corporate platforms shows we need a strong anarchist media alliance

We can't keep expecting platforms owned by far-right billionaires to stay honest. Anarchists are the biggest threat to any capitalist, so of course they're going to shut us down at every opportunity.

On Facebook Banning Pages that Support CrimethInc.com
And the Digital Censorship to Come

Facebook has taken down multiple Facebook pages they believe to be connected with crimethinc.com and itsgoingdown.org, among other anarchist and anti-fascist publishing projects, officially on the pretext that they “support violence.” This has nothing to do with stopping violence and everything to do with cracking down on social movements and everyday people getting organized in their communities.
