⚠ The People's Republic of #Muscovia🇷🇺 elections chief said Friday that "#Russia" has no use for Western-style #democracy, just weeks before regional elections are set to take place across the country.
"What is happening today in the West? That kind of democracy isn’t the rule of the majority, it’s the rule of the minority. We don't need such a democracy," the election chief was quoted as saying by the state-run #RIA Novosti agency.

Can we get more information on the strike of the care team at #Anarchy2023 aka #RIA. I saw this mentioned in the text bellow. But need more details.
Imagine you went to the gathering as an immuno-compromised person, counting on the care team to help you to visit certain workshops (as they famously promised, which was a weird idea to begin with, but that's a whole nother discusssion), but then suddenly on day three they go on strike.

And now comes the time of the reviews of #Anarchy2023 aka #RIA and of course no one even mentions the profoundly ableist structure that the gathering had.
And yet again we, the people who could not even attend the gathering BECAUSE of its ableist structure, are written out of history.

The problem that people with dreadlocks were asked to cut them off is of course much more important than the fact that many people could not attend because no one was wearing masks.

What to say, except whatever.
And how to keep living in a world, where not even the fucking self-proclaimed anarchists care about the immuno-compromised, chronicallly ill and diasbled?
HOW!?

@compl4xx Oh wow.
Where to even begin.
- Vaccinations offer very little protection from infections (they work well to prevent deaths, but protect only very briefly against infections or from #LongCovid)
- One-way masking does not work. Masks do best to protect others from you, much less so to protect you from others. As such masks work best when everyone wears one.
- The food line was a joke, from what i head, since it was still in close proximity to the other food lines.
In other words, all you are doing here is showing your ignorance and/or that you seem to be in the luxurious and highly privileged position to take such risks.
For many of us (immuno-compromised, disabled, chronically ill, older) this wasn't even a possibility.
Plus as you can read elsewhere, i (and others) have been trying to fight for a mask consensus at #RIA since Oct. 2022 and was brushed off, and then later thrown under the bus.
#Anarchy2023 had a deeply problematic ableist and ageist structure and as such #anarchy has died in Saint-Imier. And if you actually read the post that wasn't even the only reason it did.
The future lies in issue-based activism that adapts anarchist principles. Anarchy as a movement is dead.

«..the lessons which will see students learn the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles ( #UAV ) as a part of the "Basics of Life Safety" syllabus.
Year 10 & 11 students will be trained to operate #AssaultRifles and hand #grenades as a part of the programme.
#Russia's defence ministry has already approved the plans and they are set to be implemented from the first day of September, the #RIA News Agency said»

Reactionary Swiss Sunday paper Sonntagszeitung quotes Sergey at length, who had his workshop on men's rights cancelled at the #RIA This of course is a cheap shot aiming to feed the tired CancelCulture trope, whereas there would have been many actually important criticisms that could have been raised. Like the lack of accessibility or COVID-protections for instance.

#Anarchy2023 was covered today on French Swiss TV RTS in their noon news edition 12:45. They were talking about 2'000 visitors.
In an overview shot from the book fair there is not 1 mask to be seen!
Not 1 mask.
Not 1.
Not even 1.
Yeah.
Exactly what i feared. And i am glad i didn't go. But sad as hell as well.
And so all that is left to do is to mourn.
To mourn for what could have been.
RIA aka Anarchy2023 in St-Imier could have easily been organized in a COVID-safe manner.
Some recent anarchist gatherings and book fairs have managed to do so (Montreal, IWW Northern Ireland). And even many recent non-anarchist gatherings have managed to do so (FOSSY, readercon etc.).
I tried to fight for a COVID-safe organization.
But i failed.
Probably i was too desperate, too angry, too impatient, too undiplomatic.
Probably i was too hurt. Hurt because i knew what would have been possible.
Easily.
(Probably other people tried to fight for this as well. But i wouldn't know, because i was kept out of the loop)
I really wanted to be a part of this. I really wanted to participate.
But i really don't want to beg for consideration and solidarity any more (see bellow).
So all that is left is to mourn.
To mourn for what could have been.
"Some call that depression, set in motion by trauma and grief. And no doubt there’s much that’s accurate in that. Yet I call it trying to live with “the gap between ‘what is’ and ‘what could be’”—a gap that these pandemic years has pried so far apart, it’s now (in winter three) nearly unbridgeable. And without a bridge, any sense of being able to wander forward toward horizons of possibilities gets blocked." ~ Cindy Milstein

[PS: I am aware, that the gathering received a donation of 15'000 masks, but there is still no mask-consensus. It therefore remains too risky for people like myself (immuno-compromised, chronically ill, disabled) to attend.
And i am aware that they have soap in every room. I mean... LOL
I am also aware, that immuno-compromised people can contact the care-team and then this will get communicated in the rooms they plan to visit.
But that is not solidarity. That is conditional solidarity. It is solidarity with an if/then loop, one that shifts the responsibility to ask for solidarity to those who need the protection.
And frankly, i am (we are?) tired of having to beg. Solidarity should be a given in anarchist circles.
Have we learned nothing in this pandemic?)

#Zubarev spoke a week after the brief mutiny of the #Wagner mercenaries ordered by Prigozhin. #Prigozhin created not only this private army. His corporate conglomerate also includes the media group #Patriot #Media, whose best-known medium is the news site #RIA FAN. The failed mercenary #uprising now puts the fate of Prigozhin's entire corporate network into question.

According to the director of one of its subsidiaries, the media group controlled by Russian mercenary boss Yevgeny #Prigozhin is to be closed. "I announce our decision to close and leave the country's information space," #RIA FAN chief Yevgeny #Zubarev said in a video. He didn't give a reason.

According to an agency report, the Russian Presidential Office has described a #radio speech by President Vladimir #Putin as a "fake". "All these messages were a single #fake," the official Russian news agency #RIA quoted presidential spokesman Dmitry #Peskov as saying. Accordingly, several radio stations have #broadcast the contribution. In it, Putin allegedly addressed the Russian regions in the border area with #Ukraine on Monday.

Latest in my #business #journalism on Altruist's $112 million Series D.
I love how one investor, Marty Bicknell, noted smaller ambitions than some of the more bullish VC types: "Competing with Schwab & Fidelity is years away, if ever."
Also loved Altruist founder and CEO Jason Wenk's chuckled retort: “Mum's the word but there's a reason it's a good investment for them.”
