Is this where Pat Schneeweis came up with the name for the Wingnut Dishwashers Union?

We are anywhere, casting glances of emotion at strangers on the bus, protesting against the police in a fight that the media will not cover, or crying disconsolately at night staring at the stars with impotence, devising new ways to take control of our lives . Many times we walk the same streets for years, in the same neighborhoods, immersed in the same routines, clenching our teeth dreaming of the day when we dare to do something. But who will have the courage to cast the first stone? Our lives quickly disappear without us being aware of it. And when we become conscious, we feel so far removed from the rest that it seems impossible to create any kind of real alliance in this society of the spectacle, so many people go to the market in search of those "revolutionary products" that make them feel freer, different between the conformal mass. Is this true freedom? I'm probably in California in October, then maybe try to form an affinity group in Madrid, or anywhere else. I do not even know if I'll live that long! Hahah, well, maybe I'm just crazy, but I offer you my help. At least conversation, I hope you do not happen to me but I feel all the time being surrounded by fucking stupid people who are dedicated to pursue mirages of modern life. I set out to take the reins and find out what I really can do, or at least die trying. P.D .: Sorry, my english is bad (I would like to learn more) I hope you understand me. And are you interested in castilian? (Yes, castilian, spanish language is a purely nationalistic designation). Your life is unwritten.

Guardián del centeno i know, how we all pass one another like ships in the night; aren't we all so cute with our anarchist dreams? i do believe we're all pretty fed up with illusion, some of us are closer to ready than others. typically, of course, i look up to those further along with their readiness than i am, an act that consequently sabotages my own esteem. if i'm gonna be ready, i want to approach it harmoniously as in, without transmuting my "self" into a force. so i need to continue accepting where i'm at, which, by my estimations, is pretty radical. of course conversation is all right.

Only broken vessels do not overflow. One day is a look of disbelief, another a feeling of sadness, another more you squeeze your teeth... Suddenly you suffer an aggression that you are not willing to ignore. A new advertising space near the house, one of those big and horrible posters that deceive people about wonderful lives within reach of their wallet. You hate it, with your whole being, you get the spray. Act. Now you are in our world, you are exploring the limits of freedom. The borderlands are an exciting place, we always had power, it was the system that told us that it is he who grants the powers, but this is only true as long as you surrender to his authority. How then would they be so powerful if millions of slaves did not give him their blind faith? That is why they remain captive in their homes, staring at screens that have replaced all kinds of real-world stimulation. Meanwhile people like us wonder why they do not walk the streets at nightfall, to do everything they crave rather than consuming entertainment products that try to emulate an exciting life roughly. Is not true beauty found in the surprise that pervades the faces of those who observe an act of selfless support? Or in the smile of one who sees you break the law feels complice? Fuck you to the art galleries. Life is a struggle, do not forget it. An intense hug wherever you are. We really are beautiful with our anarchist dreams...

We gotta chill on the "anarchist aesthetic", as much as I love it. Shit is mad off-putting to the people we're trying to reach. I love murals and signs and all that and think designed well it can be a beautiful expression and near perfect propaganda like the house here was for the most part, but we gotta calculate this shit a little better. If we're serious about effecting change we can't keep having all our spaces look like CRASS album art and us looking disheveled af when we organize and take part in actions. I'm all about eschewing the norms but people are scared of Black Blocs and don't take us seriously enough to come to our side when they think we're strung out or childish. I hate even saying shit like this but over the years I've come to see this as a massive obstacle. When I'd crawl off a grainer and head to a demo I just wasn't taken as seriously as when I wore a clean T-shirt and jeans or whatever lol I hate it but it is what it is. We gotta meet the people where they are, not where we wish they were and fuck em if they don't get it. And we definitely need better answers than "I can't tell you what that would look like for you.", gotta give em some confidence in the ideas like perhaps councils with recallable delegates that are bound to the will of their constituents and workers councils/unions running production til it can be automated away, etc. It's at least a concept that they can latch on to and go and learn more from there. Just something that's been killing me lately. Most of the squats and infoshops I've organized with and visited up and down the East Coast for almost 2 decades have had the same look, not a very inviting one to your average working class person. The one I work with the most now is similar but we've taken on a slightly different way of doing things in public and it seems to be working pretty well so far. Look inconspicuous, speak "plain proletarian English" and be as accessable as possible. This will obviously look different all over but the idea is to reach out, not continue to do the same shit that hasn't been working. Idk. Just a thought. These are a beautiful bunch of people, don't misunderstand me. I'm just speaking to spreading our ideas. Solidarity! ✌✊👊♥A///E

Keep up the work, maybe trim back the fat a bit. (The cluttered aesthetic another comment mentions)

[@r.coburn3344]

I have to add, I’m very glad you’re armed.
