Feuer und Flamme der Repression und so, mal schauen wie viele Flammen und Feuer wirklich auftauchen. Den Anfang machen heute die lokalen Spontis in eurer Nähe:

Weiter gehts dann am Samstag in Leipzig. Es scheinen richtungsweisende Tage für die autonome antifaschistische Szene zu werden. Wir sehen uns also auf der Straße, egal wo.
Solidarität übrigens mit allen Gefangenen und politisch verfolgten Gefährt:innen!

Still thinking of the time an ML told me the line from Kangaroo Chronicles ("we can be friends until the revolution") at #Lützi. Like she told me that quote seemingly completely unironically. it was originally a joke?? They must know it was intended as a lampshade. it's comedy by sarcasm. MLs say that in real life now
tried to get in touch with a well-known zine distro to submit my text on #Lützerath, but I couldn't convince them to set up some encrypted means of communication. (Protonmail is not encryption, friends. Protonmail has literally snitched on anarchists to the cops and got them arrested.)
It bothers me that so little attention was given to the destruction of Lützi in American media, especially given the parallels to Atlanta which one would think could make it topical. but the thing with Lützerath is that it wasn't simply a coal mine we failed to stop; it was a piece of nature that was lost, and was a two year-plus fully autonomous, non-hierarchical, wonderfully functional solarpunkish community which was put down. this last point is obfuscated even in German media.
my next idea is to submit my original writing for production with the Ramonita Publishing Distro GmbH (print a few zine-formatted copies in my living room printer) and place them around local leftist hangouts. that will qualify them as "published" and maybe the @library will take them this time, and at some point more people will hear my first-person account of the ray of hope that was #Lützi, and the bastards who stomped it.
I would like to tell two anecdotes. put a pin on them, it will be relevant later.
---
the first was during the protests for the police murder of 16-year-old Black boy Mouhamed D. in 2022. the people organising the protest asked for a peaceful, nonescalative demo because they were afraid of police retaliation, particularly the family of the boy. I disagree with this attitude—if the police wants to be violent they'll be violent no matter what, cf. #Lützi eviction—but it wasn't my protest and I was there to show support, so instead of standard antifa outfit I decided to dress fem, and went on latex pants, a pink leotard, white fluffy jacket.
a girl I had recently met at the antifa café wanted to march with us, but ditched us on the spot. she turns out to be a swerf, and thought it was grossly innapropriate of me to dress up like a whore during a Black protest (n.b. girl is German and white). she also critisised my penchant for posting sexy selfies online, and I quote, "without any class or niveau". surely this was antifeminist, sexualising myself for the sake of men (n.b. I'm into girls). this woman wasn't a Marxist terf, she was a transgender anarchist.

anecdote the second, a certain anarchist group puts me in the unenviable position of defending Die Partei.
to make it clear, I'm not a fan, and most of their humour smells like cis dude and falls flat to me, though they have their moments (I like "Nazis töten", always brings a smile to my face). but in this case, they were being denounced on moral grounds. the joke was "here the shooter, too, is just a human being: Dortmund police", riffing on an old PR song about how the police are "just human beings". again, not exactly the height of political satire, but this isn't *evil* humour, it's still punching up. the joke is "police bad".
and here, too, white Germans took upon themselves to heroically defend hypothetical Black people who, they figure, would be offended at this, by criticizing how innapropriate it is for Die Partei to joke or laugh in such a traumatic situation. this prompted me to talk about my pet peeve, this Protestand attitude that Germans bring to activism—this misconception that you have to frown and look worried the whole 2-hour plenum and the less fun you have the more commited you are to the struggle. I compared it to my experiences with Latin American and Kurdish political circles and how the people at the height of tragedy use humour to cope, at which point they replied that sure the *victims* can joke but if you're not in the affected demographic you can't, at which point I *could* go on about intersectionality and vicarious trauma and self-martyrdom as a dysfunctional coping mechanism for a shared rage which could lead to communality, but I've been at this long enough to know when a duel of words is being fought purely for the last word, and when it's best to drop it and go kiss someone in real life.
one thing stuck with me, though: they said that even if the ethics of the joke are good, the joke was still bad because it was "in bad taste".

class. niveau. taste. let's think a bit about what those concepts imply.
