       Wow this article https://www.opb.org/article/2020/11/23/portland-protest-racial-justice-oregon-black-lives-matter/Title pits Black racial justice advocates against anarchists, but then, eventually, goes on to say that it's not something than can be summed up simply as that.I think it's really about 2 things:- white people taking over movements- violence and/or destruction of property having bad opticsI mean white "insert label here" sucking is pretty standard. hmm *ponders*#anarchism #bipoc #pdx

       Being so-called anti-establishment but w/o racial justice is uhh pretty damn pro-establishment, clearly. But like racial justice happening while protecting the establishment? Not sure I quite get that.Some complaints about younger folks as well. What is this article... Am I, an #indigenous anarchist, actually even less popular than I thought... I mean how do you support "Land Back" and be like "those anti-establishment" "kids" don't care about racial justice...whaaaatttt my brain

       Don't get me wrong here. The Black activists are 100% valid, not meaning to talk over that. A bit that really resonated with me was that white ppl get to go home after a protest, they get to go to work, have friends, and can shed any unpopular labels. But BIPOC, well we're BIPOC all the time regardless of our politicsAnd it is something that white #anarchists or activists or like whatever really need to think aboutYes this does ignore any other point of protest, but it's still, not invalid

       It reminds me of advice from an infosec person or other, for traveling to #defcon. The advice was not to have stickers on your laptop b/c they might be like you know, too edge for the asshole TSA.And I thought that was hilarious, b/c I walk around brown 24/7. Can't take that off.Really helped cement, for me, that for white folks, this is all just a game. They can change their clothes, take off their stickers, change their ethics, and fit in again whenever. They can't really have 100% buy-in
