The title of this thread makes me think of the infamous Anarchists Cookbook - the fabled text, spoken of by generations of schoolboys in hushed and reverential whispers, that supposedly tells you how to overthrow capitalism by making stinkbombs out of everyday household materials, get high on banana skins, etc.

The internet didn’t kill counterculture—you just won’t find it on Instagram

“To be truly countercultural in a time of tech hegemony, one has to, above all, betray the platform.”
www.documentjournal.com www.documentjournal.com

“The names of these e-deologies tend to be both fantastical and literal. A “post-civilizationist” might focus on what optimal human survival would look like were civilization no longer possible. A “voluntarist post-agrarianist,” meanwhile, might value anarcho-primitivism skills but see them as integral to realizing a civilization sustained through opt-in agrarian communes. Elsewhere on the compass, one finds the likes of “Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism” (where a total embrace of technology delivers humanity from scarcity, ecological volatility, and the reactionary social ills of resource competition) and the defiantly neo-traditionalist “technocratic theocracy,” which puts its faith in a machine-governed future that upholds Christian virtues. E-deologies are further explored on message boards and social media via memes, TikTok posts, and livestreamed Twitch and YouTube debates, all of which can get pretty gnarly (calls for “eco-fash global genocide” and “secession of white ethnostates,” etc.) And maybe here, we do have an aesthetic counter to the wallflower non-style of Big Tech: a raging messy semiotic meltdown of radicalizing (if absurdist) meme culture where the only ideological no-go zone is the liberal center. Key here is that most of this activity is happening under the guise of avatars, pseudonyms, and collectively run social media accounts where direct lines between IRL subjects and online personas are rarely clear. The “niche personal branding” is gamified—push an account to the extreme, see what happens. If the platform shuts you down, start over.”

Stan you know that story of emmett grogan the digger at the Dialectics of liberation conference in thd 70s and he did a rousing speech brought the house down they said where do we sign and he said the speech was word for word what hitler had said in tghe reichstag in 1933

Grogan also organised free food for those without it in San Francisco (and was a bit of a dick). The Black Panthers organised free breakfasts for kids.

As hinted by @linebaugh taking food out of the usual forms of capitalist exchange is an act of resistance.

There is a huge space between "shit posting" and consuming academic texts, neither of which directly challenges capital.

Apparently it also tells you how to make LSD in the bath and bombs (not sure where). Except the bomb recipe is likely to blow you up.

There was a really good documentary on Netflix about the guy who wrote it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Anarchist

Did anyone find put if this guy's plan succeeded?

My plan to destroy Capitalism...

Capitalism IS inevitable. Or more precisely, the world as it is today (of which Capitalism is a part) exists as the natural result of a cause/effect cycle that has been going on since the Big Bang. A natural ebbing/flowing of energies and the laws of physics and a reflection of what it means...

Oct 20 (Reuters) - A Massachusetts woman stands accused of using a swarm of bees as a dangerous weapon, according to a county sheriff, after she allegedly unleashed a hive of angry insects on deputies trying to serve an eviction notice last week.

The incident unfolded when Rorie Woods, a 55-year-old professional beekeeper, drove up to the home in Longmeadow while deputies were in the process of enforcing the eviction notice, the sheriff's department said in a statement on Wednesday.

The residence, outside Springfield in the south-central part of the state, belonged to a man who had been litigating against his removal for years, garnering support of anti-eviction activists, including Woods, a department spokesperson said in an email on Thursday.

When she arrived at about 9:15 a.m. local time, towing a stack of manufactured beehives with a SUV, Woods exited the vehicle and tried to open the lids to unleash the bees, the department said.

"Or what? You'll release the hounds? Or the bees? Or the hounds with bees in their mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at you?"
