debate me, bro

Debate Me, Bruh is an anarchism 101 for the queer and insincere. Debate Me, Bruh is a counter-info project for tired organizers who are sick of hearing “BUT WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT MURDERERS?” and other easily Googled questions. Debate Me, Bruh is sort of a call to trans insurrection, but mostly a call to learn what anarchy is for the love of god. subscribe for free @ https://debatemebruh.substack.com/

I abide by this radical statement that antisemitism is never justified/moral/okay even if it is against Jews who are objectively terrible people. This should not be a controversial statement but here we are.

"Feminists made women more depressed by pushing them out of the home and getting them to partipate in the workforce!! How is it better to serve a boss than a husband??"

So you agree — that work under capitalism is often grueling, thankless, and exploitative, and that people become depressed and alienated when given no choice but to sell their labor in a system of inherent power imbalance between worker and boss? So you agree — people would be happier if they worked less and got to spend more time among loved ones? So you agree — your atrophied social imagination molded by eons of imperial civilization can only conceive of a world with domination-by-patriarch or a world with domination-by-plutocrat?

As we celebrate Women's History Month, it's important to remember the remarkable women who have paved the way for gender equality. We can honor their legacy by advocating for policies that support women, such as paid family leave, equal pay, and full reproductive freedom. Together, we can continue to make progress towards a more just and equal society for all.

In collaboration with Sabot Media, I'm starting a podcast for and about queer and neurodivergent kids and teens living out anarchy and youth liberation❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 At THE CHILD AND ITS ENEMIES we believe that youth autonomy is not only crucial to queer and trans liberation, but to anarchy itself. Governance is inherently based on projecting linear narratives of time and Development and gender onto our necessarily asynchronous and atemporal queer lives, and kids, teens, and everyone else affected by anti-child ageism are at the center of this form of oppression. Our goal with the podcast is to create a space by and for kids and teens that challenges all forms of control and inspires us to create neuroqueer, feral, ageless networks of care. 💕 My first episode is an interview with Skye-Gia Garcia, a community organizer and freedom fighter who organizes with Outreach LGBTQ+ Community Center!

Some of the best responses to my latest piece (https://debatemebruh.substack.com/p/is-anyone-who-wears-black-to-a-protest):

“You should tell them that's goth erasure!”

“Not gonna say I'm NOT guilty of being both a heavy wearer of black clothing and also an anarchist…”

“blue is for boys, pink is for girls, black is for anarchists? MFers gotta color code everything, gosh”

We have an awesome guest post today about why queer anarchy doesn't actually mean everyone is killed and robbed (yes, this is a question). In fact, anarchy can even mean collective care. Who knew? <3 Please reply with YOUR favorite theory about dismantling property! https://debatemebruh.substack.com/p/does-the-abolition-of-property-mean

“Every leader kills people, including my leader. Every leader kills people. Some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people.”

-Tucker Carlson

Liberal outrage over Carlson saying this to excuse Vladimir Putin—immediately before Putin had Alexei Navalny killed—is beside the point. Supporters of Carlson, Putin, and Donald Trump admire killers. Disapproval is not going to shame them out of this.

Liberals are only offering a more milquetoast version of the same vertical political model. This can put them at a disadvantage today. As push comes to shove in a world in crisis, leaders who have openly presided over killings are drawing more and more support. Think Tayyip Erdoğan—or Benajmin Netanyahu.

The anarchist alternative is to seek to distribute agency horizontally: not to worship leaders and glorify the state and its violence, but to become capable of self-determination, making it impossible for anyone to systematically dominate others. In the long run, this is the only real alternative to authoritarianism.

"Leadership is a social disorder in which the majority of participants in a group fail to take initiative or think critically about their actions. As long as we understand agency as a property of specific individuals rather than a relationship between people, we will always be dependent on leaders—and at their mercy. Truly exemplary leaders are as dangerous as the obviously corrupt, in that all their praiseworthy qualities only reinforce their status and others’ deference, not to mention the legitimacy of leadership itself."

this is so real—critique of people's comments is important, but critique of a system is so much more relevant sometimes. i think about the discourse around transphobia. like individual TERFs are awful. but also THE STATE ENABLES THAT so yeah...
