I plan on re-reading it soon myself for some stuff I&#39;m working on. I remember that it&#39;s a handful of essays, and a few of them are stand outs, but a few others left me a little dissatisfied. I&#39;m pretty sure that it was the later essays in the book&#39;s order that I liked more but it&#39;s been a while. If you get into it do let me know and save me the time 🤣 2025-06-03T15:50:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsruwyhfec806tzxg7vr65kzknj3y3ckwsmss7mez60q6r2lyud77czyrnzx8dwe8prtuxaesfxv09a0g8seerujnmcz4udqt2d3d2pdl86qys973e In response to the new admin, there&#39;s another viral protest movement. #50501 is a case study in a pathological organizational pattern, but now is not the time to wish that the resistance were otherwise structured. #50501 is here, so what is to be done?

Thanks Susan! <br/><br/>Love your entire solarpunk vibe and project, btw. When people write in to me to say that I&#39;m too bleak, I tell them that that probably won&#39;t change, but they should go read/watch/learn about some solarpunk fiction after :) 2024-06-20T18:21:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfkrujxe6rwdsuw0htp2ycms5s2qjxu5puv9lkc0dgzg3lun4gtugzyrnzx8dwe8prtuxaesfxv09a0g8seerujnmcz4udqt2d3d2pdl86q4558r3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0nx0rygehz4p2fqchp9tzd3rygdjmvqay895us0kuert5uya03cqjcdevd'>nevent1q…devd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Many revolutionary theorists argue that there is no such thing as too disruptive, because movements need an extreme flank. Even if the extreme and the mainstream hate each other, they&#39;re symbiotic: The flank makes compromise with the reformist camp politically palatable, while the center provides the flank with a path to compromise. I know it&#39;s in Malm&#39;s &#34;How to Blow Up a Pipeline.&#34; I can&#39;t remember if he has citations. Might be of interest? 2024-06-20T16:02:23Z
