While watching the GameStop stuff has been mildly hilarious (I mean who doesn't like watching the financial elite squirm?) it's pretty clear that a whole bunch of folk have convinced themselves this is ACTUALLY some kind of revolutionary activity. It isn't. 1/ Image
Sure, it's highlighted yet another way in which the bastards profiteer but that's about it, stick it on the pile with the fifty other pro tips to keep the poor, well poor... It's todays banter and tho a few folks might have egg on their faces, literally nothing will happen. 2/ Image
GameStop's three largest shareholders have earned £1.5bn+ during this. They sit at the top of some 200 institutions which are rolling. Meanwhile the ersatz rebels are now watching the bubble, realising there is profit to be made and having a wibble. 3/ Image
No doubt some TRULY believe they are taking part in some kind of revolution but frankly it's utterly absurd and the vast majority are in it for the lulz and to cash in quick.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you don't own GameStop.

The reality is, the scale of the economic disparity and corruption is simply vast. Billionaires loosing a few millions means nothing. They buy one less yacht and you continue to live meal to meal.

The "Free Market" changes a few systems and the abuse continues. 5/ Image
You know what it reminds me off? Being six playing Super Mario Bros 3 with my older brother and after loosing man times I finally won. I declared myself king of all gaming and never played him again, knowing that I was indeed the best ever and reigning champ.

Maybe I should just shut up and let people enjoy things, but frankly, I hate watching people be lead down a deceptive road into the maw of bigotry that sits within the libertarian and AnCap communities. Shit even Discord found an easy excuse to ban them after multiple warnings.7/ Image
The muppets that form the main body here are about three innocently asked questions away from spiralling into anti-semetic conspirocy and rabbling about 5G and Vaccines.

Honestly play innocent and ask your local AnCap / "classic liberal"/ Freeman... "whose behind it?" 8/ Image
It's particularly cringe watching red roses and state commies jump on the bandwagon with these herrenvolk shites, willing ignorant of negligent IDK ... but I don't suppose such alliances have historical precidence or anything... 9/ Image
Like I say, much like all good things, people who've sank heavy money here are starting to look at the figures, see green and there is a pop about to come.

Which for most of you won't matter, you only sank in what you could afford to loose for the gank, so whatever lol GG 10/ Image
However, there are alternatives to just saying bye bye or cashing out a little richer.

For those of you who actually do have revolutionary intent and really want to nail down the message, while you're busy feeding the beast buy deliquent debt and then shred it.

11/ Image
Like, best practice is not to dip ya hand into financial shite at all coz it's the banks that win every time, but if you care about the message in the memes, set up subreddits and form adhoc mutuals n shit to bulk buy deliquent debt, junk bonds & CDOs and then shred it.

12/ Image
You took the money from the billionaires and erased the debt of some folk going through hard times.

Go on. Do it.

Don't reinvest into AMC and Silver.
Do a revolutionary thing.

Wipe out some debt.
No profit.
Just solidarity.

Go on #GameStonks, do it.
13/ Image
It's not like it's without precident. look up RIP Medical Debt, a former CA who bought debt and wiped it out.

People who'd been getting fucked over got a letter saying debts gone, have a nice day.

A $10 donation can buy — and eliminate — $1,000 in long-delinquent debt.

14/ Image
Personally I wouldn't touch any of this with a 10ft barge pole, coz fuck the finance industry, Y'all should shut down wall street by taking over the buildings and turning them into homeless shelters, but IDK, just saying if you want to live up to your memes...

Like fuck Twitter etc etc (should need saying really I mean we're the fucking Anarchist Federation) but it's important to understand that their (very late) removal of Trump for "Risk of further incitement of violence" is for reasons.

This is the shite his support are sharing. 1/ Banner for "Million Militia March" on the 20th of
Tho he conceded (without saying "I lost") I think pretty much everyone agrees he's quite capable of causing the missing militias and street fash that support him to turn up the 20th and make the Coup Klux Klan look like a bunfight.

Literally know one trusts the fucker atm. 2/ Headline from ABC news that states Pelosi has spoken with to
Trumps current situation, and how bad the events played, is already pretty fatal like, just don't underestimate his narcissism.

p.s. Corporate fucks only take these decisions in the interests of their social and political capital.

They are not on side. -R

Look, I didn't like Ashli Babbitt's politics, I laugh at the hypocrisy of the fash's actions yesterday and there is a degree of "oh well".

However it's utterly disgusting that so many comrades across the board are celebrating a police murder 1/ Two photos of Ashli Babbitt.
Her death was justifiable by the metric of the stoic libertarian, "she breached a barricade and got shot" or "do stupid things, win stupid prizes", but it is not justifiable by ours.

The state should not go around murdering people. End off.

2/
Yeah, if BLM and Anarchist comrades tried what they did yesterday they would of been massacred, sure.

The lack of experianced right wing leadership on the street, the police understaffing etc it all stinks, and I get that people hate Trump support and relish schadenfreude 3/

Capital Hill Riot.

I watch these scenes and I think, Well heck, not only are they absolute hypocrites they come took r jobs! It's Anarchists who should be storming the joint!

(This scene was shortly before the shooting, which to me looked like a misfire, but maybe not IDK.)
1/
Then I remember instead of mostly street cops with little more than high viz and a whistle my comrades were up against militerised death brigades.

When they came to demand justice for the murder of black men they were met persistantly with firearms, tear gas, Bearcats, dogs, a fucking helicopter at one point....

Jeez, The right wing? ... well... Pass the fucking Pepsi.

We often get asked by folks "Do you know anyone in X or Y" and it's clear a lot of us are disconnected, even in the cities.

In my experiance after major events in the US/turle Island, such as todays march in DC, there are days of debate and discussion across social media.

Not all of this is in bad faith and lot's of it is the fielding right leaning and liberal questions about Anarchism.

1/ An illustration of one man ...
Not everyone has the energy or inclination to take this on especially given the pre-established patterns of sea-lioning and aggression from the right wing especially.

I just wanted to say it's ok to tag us (@AnarchistFed) or @AnarchistAsk into a thread.

This might be answering some finer detail you are not sure about or just tagging us in to address some bullshit mis-info.

As anarchists we seek to win the leadership of ideas within the working class and well, argue the case for anarchist communism. 3/ A cartoon of a frog on a mu...

There are dozens of videos and social media posts where the right wing / Trump support are spewing venom at the cops for you know, doing cop stuff as they cycle back into the "we're the underdog" narratives now their man is heading out of office. 1/
They seem utterly ignorant that even as they carry on with themselves the police reaction is significantly less hostile than it was against similar "leftist" events.

This is the energy that they'll be bringing for the "Spitting our dummy out" march later.

Stay safe DC x
