It's Going Down

I don't know what's "cringe" about the excellent "It's Going Down" podcast[0], which opens every episode with a lightning-round of under-reported headlines that answer the question of what, exactly, is "going down." 0. https://itsgoingdown.org/category/podcast/

Not "all names, addresses" [of all users]. The Twitter blurb is basically an incomplete quote from and a link to https://itsgoingdown.org/dhs-and-ice-seek-to-issue-subpoena-in-ashevil… , so probably the post should be updated to point there (and the title should be corrected).

How is that Capital As Power site radical at all when it merely purports to explore the dominant mode of capitalism / politics in the USA today? Now if you linked to something like https://sub.media/ or https://itsgoingdown.org/ I'd understand...

> Nobody except left-anarchists accept the narrowly politicized definition of the term “anarchy”. Can you find me a single example of a sizable anarchist community that doesn't explicitly reject capitalism? Try actually familiarizing yourself with anarchist spaces - https://old.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/ - https://raddle.me/forums - https://itsgoingdown.org/ - https://libcom.org/ - https://theanarchistlibrary.org/ Hell, even try asking an LLM. The acceptance of "ancap" as anarchism is an extremely niche and disingenuous position. --- The attempt to co-opt language is not just typical language evolution. It's purposeful. Here's, Murray Rothbard in The Betrayal of the American Right > one gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, 'our side,' had captured a crucial word from the enemy

There's also, uh, this insanity [7]; it's so far off the deep end it could be a right wing false flag, but, well, it's from 2021, so anything's possible: [7] https://itsgoingdown.org/16-things-you-can-do-to-be-ungovernable-p-s-f… EDIT: Yeah, I think it's real.

Here's a recent anarchist podcast on the subject. I note the political orientation because clearly that impacts the interpretation of the events, but it was an interesting listen, I thought: https://itsgoingdown.org/an-anti-colonial-anarchist-analysis-of-the-ri…

I was excited to see all of the new forms of communes showing up in Rojava (see https://itsgoingdown.org/the-communes-of-rojava-a-model-in-societal-se… Now it appears that the big governments aren't too happy to see them flourish.

I enjoyed this documentary on the incredible self-governance in (western) Kurdistan, in Syria: https://itsgoingdown.org/the-communes-of-rojava-a-model-in-societal-se…

I can't reply to dead comments and can't link to the original page (because it's no longer accessible by DNS) but this article reports on examples of explicit calls for violence by far right commentators: https://itsgoingdown.org/unite-right-organizers-encourage-guns-want-wa… I understand the argument that such determinations should be 'left up to the law' but the corollary of that is asserting that regular people should not have any political agency to express their own opposition to movements they find threatening or inimical to their values. I'm sticking to a very narrow interpretation of what counts as threats/incitement here.
