By framing the “wallet as a weapon,” he reinforces a theology of consumerism that suggests our only path to agency is through the market. This is not resistance; it is the “spectacle of competency” performed for an audience of CEOs.

We know what copaganda looks like when it comes from police unions and mainstream media outlets. It is the passive voice in the headlines and the immediate release of the victim’s past mugshots alongside the breathless emphasis on the officer’s fear. But we need to talk about the insidious and localized version of…

I didn’t just wake up an anarchist; I was radicalized by the realization that the systems we are told will save us—capitalism, the State, the “polite” Left—are actually designed to consume us. For years, Naomi Klein was one of the people handing me the blueprints to that machinery. She taught me how to see the “Shock…

Power is organized around what is seen and unseen, what makes it into the realm of the sayable. Direct action, in Graeber’s words, is the insistence on enacting the world you want to see, even if only for a moment, outside the permission of the state. To dismiss this as attention-seeking is to confuse the…

I was sitting at a bar when the staff and a few other patrons suddenly ran outside. Apparently, someone who had stolen from people there before had returned.
