    S1E17 Remastered: Allyship, FTP, And Give People Money with Aneka

    Remastered by A. Campbell Payne. Originally aired 9/3/17 CW: Suicide & police brutality Spoke with Aneka from the SoJust Collective about centering POC, the founding fathers, police brutality, educating allies, being tired, passing the mic, no plaforming/active platforming, confronting your racist family, the allyship industrial complex, rewarding white mediocrity, the Red Cross, Rechts Gegen Rechts, difficulties with fundraising, and seriously, ruin Christmas. You can donate to Aneka for their time by sending money to their venmo @pettymcbetty . If you counted more instances of bad allyship than I did, use your number, and if you counted fewer, use mine (14). Notes: - The controversy was in fact about Deady Hall at the University of Oregon, named after Judge Matthew Deady, co-author of the Oregon State Constitution and one of the most influential supporters of Oregon’s Exclusion Laws. A good guest viewpoint written on the subject here: uwire.com/2016/02/14/guest-vie…dy-hall-must-change/ -For the uninitiated, "FTP" stands for F**k The Police - There was concern expressed for me, but I'm not in that relationship anymore and that story is very old. The point of it is not the individualization of the issue but the systemic stresses - Instead of donating to the Red Cross, you can go here to find how to get money directly to those who need it for Hurricane Harvey relief: www.colorlines.com/articles/how-do…s-color-houston Referenced: CAHOOTS mobile crisis intervention: whitebirdclinic.org/cahoots/ Rechts Gegen Rechts: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvjIYl_Nlao Update 11/7/20: When this episode aired it was why I was rejected from Channel Zero Network. The reason given was because we should be talking about being "accomplices, not allies" and I was given a copy of the zine of the same name to read. However, we do talk about the Ally Industrial Complex in the episode and both Aneka and I disagreed with their response that this episode contributes to that mindset. However, you can read a copy of the zine here and decide for yourself: archive.org/details/Accomplices…lyIndustrialComplex

    S2E3 Everyday Antifascism, Celebrity, And Making Something New with Candice Part 2

    "Let’s do something that they can’t even imagine." Part 2 of my conversation with my friend Candice who is an economist, communist, mother, and all around rad lady. We spoke about everyday antifascism, being a disabled and limited radical activist, taking care of each other, and more. Transcript: https://friendlyanarchism.medium.com/s2e3-everyday-antifascism-celebrity-and-making-something-new-with-candice-part-2-transcript-ecfcf650f20a Notes: -I just want to note that the inclusion of liberals, while a part of a popular front strategy, is playing with fire. I much prefer radicalizing/working with people who are apolitical -I should have mentioned fascist creep in the form of "gender critical" dialogue. Transphobia is a major source of reactionary rightwing garbage right now -I was a little hard on Portland, it's a big place with a big scene and so obviously not everyone involved has all the ego about it. A couple really good antifascist/activist resources coming out of that area are the podcasts "It Did Happen Here" and "Rural Roots Rising" -Many Q-anoners are in fact very dangerous, I had in mind one particular memory -Greasy hair does not actually protect you from Covid-19.
