Hello Comrades. Twitch has had a severe hack. It's advisable, if you have a twitch account, you change your password and enable 2 Factor Authorisation. This goes especially if you use the same password for a lot of things (something that is very unadvisable).
You can do this by going to you twitch profile
> Settings
> Security and Privacy
> Change password
If you stream, its also advised you reset your stream key.
> Creator dashboard
>Settings
>Stream
>Reset and then copy paste to your stream management software if applicable.
If you use the same password for other things, reset those passwords. Especially if you use the same password for the email linked to your twitch.
My interview with Anarchy2021 was a long process, but for all the best reasons. Daylight, one of the members put it this way: “There’s a lot of collective action, which means we can’t spring into motion the way other parties can. But that means that while other parties are disjointed and frantic, we are a united front and a solid party to follow.” I’m rather inclined to agree.
On July 21st, the Journalist conducted an interview with the members of Anarchy2021. We recommend that you read their member introduction post here before continuing with this article, and that you also make sure to check their policies and writing on their official blog after you are done reading this article.
Anarchy2021 is one of the first few parties to reach the 8 member limit, but instead of constantly talking over each other like many others in group interviews, they made sure to cross-check their answers to my questions until everyone in the party was on board, even despite time differences. Their discussion was in an open chat with me, and despite the times they disagreed, everything was resolved with civil discussion. Graphite mentioned that they had been working on their policies since 18 hours ago, and based on the timestamps of their posting, they must have worked at least 6 hours straight ratifying everything with each other.
This may seem like a long time, but keep in mind that these individuals come from all over Mcytblr. From Zablr to Hermitblr, CPK fans to DreamSmp fans, 3rd life watchers and avid small streamer promoters. At least two candidates admitted that they had argued before over c!Techno and c!Tommy discourse, but all I saw from any of them was peaceful cooperation and discussion so they could do what needed to be done.
This reflects in their goals as a party as well. Anarchy2021 told me about their plans to help increase tag literacy on both Ao3 and tumblr, backing up their end goals with the time that the Mcyt fandom were able to remove a cc’s real name from their tag by simply refusing to use the tag long enough that it was causing wrangling issues. As █ told me, “These goals are real and achievable. They only require that we work together.”
Another of their goals, uplifting smaller parts of Mcytblr, is a goal quite a few parties share. However, this party seems much more prepared for the actual task. Not only were several members able to tell me the names of streamers that are actually below 1k on average, but they also are planning outreach so as to bring in the opinions of groups of fans they might not know about. I may be repeating myself, but Anarchy2021’s ability to recognize the need for differing knowledge and support systems, and their persistent drive to bring in the people that could help them set these things up, is one of the strongest parts of a party I’ve seen so far.
Anarchy2021 doesn’t see winning as a limiter to do what they want to get done. They’re already publishing guides to help tag wranglers understand the needs of the Mcyt community on Ao3, while most other parties are still coming up with campaign promises.They’re incredibly well organized, already scheduling small cc appreciation days, writing music for their party, and planning outreach to Hermitblr’s catcatcher and new ccs on tumblr alike. Member Zaph noted that “Embracing different cultures is as important as it is useful,” and in this case, their words match their actions very well.
The candidates of the Anarchy2021 party were very helpful and welcoming as I conducted my interview and got the information I needed. They’re not making empty promises- They’re already working hard to fulfil their campaign policies before the elections have even truly started. If you’re still unsure of who you want to support, I’d recommend checking them out.
this election, which candidates are you supporting and which candidates do you think we shouldn't support?
Thank you for the question!
I'm currently rooting for Anarchy2021 and here's why you should to!
1. Now, I'm not an anarchist, but, democracy is overrated. You say I get to choose a corrupt prick to decide what is best for me? Wow, thank you so much! These people will disband the presidency as soon as they fulfil their campaign promises.
2. Anarchists running for president. Come on guys, it's funny.
3. Song. Just. I've been looping this all day in the background /gen.
4. Empowerment of cat people. Do you understand how many rights I could get.
5. They took a joke election - which of the point is to vote for whoever is the funniest - and decided to genuinely use that power to promote tagging etiquette, and help people work together for better means of interaction in the community! Their policies also include encouraging positive engagement and supporting smaller creators.
This is amazing, and I am in full support of their efforts. For further elaboration on their policies, read this post.
6. We at Dreblr are all about prison abolitionism, and so are they (/rp)
7. Down with Wilbur Soot
8. They are allies of Dreblr!
9. They have c!Dream, c!Ranboo, c!Tommy, c!Techno, Jack Manifold, Hermitcraft and Badlands enjoyer in the cabinet. Such diversity can only lead to them doing what is best for every part of the community.
You definitely shouldn't support their main rival, Deepthroat2021!
1. We all know what Lucem is like (/j /lh)
2. Planning on establishing a dictatorship and banning all Twitter refugees as well as all L'Manberg critical takes.
3. Plagiarism.
ORDER IS SECURITY
CONFORMITY IS PEACE
HIERARCHY IS PROSPERITY
DEEPTHROAT2021 IS THE FUTURE
That is literally pulled straight from 1984 (not word for word, but obviously stolen). Not the only slogans he's stolen; Apple has also been a victim of this behaviour.
4. He's a c!Schlatt kinnie.
That is all from me. Vote Anarchy2021. Power to the people!
(obligatory reminder that this is all /rp, all the parties are lovely!)
This is an open warning to @anarchy2021, @the-mcytblr-election-resistance and @lorekeeper-party.
The people will not be silenced.
Transcript under the cut.
CITIZENS! LOYAL SUBJECTS!
It is once again time for me – the greatest presidential candidate – to address the nation.
We – the MCYTblr-community – are standing at a precipice. Our once glorious and tremendous nation has grown weak. It has grown decadent. It has grown soft. We are beset on all sides by enemies WAITING to strike!
Only a strong and powerful leader will be able to stem the tides of anarchy and destruction. To repel our enemies and establish tumblr at its rightful place at the centre of the internet!
It is time for you – the ordinary citizens of this, our beautiful website – to rise up and tear down the systems of corruption and weakness that hold you back! To oust the corrupt tumblr elites; to drag them into the streets and show them what real, patriotic tumblrians think of their practices!
It is time for you to take up arms against the violent, deceitful anarchists that try to indoctrinate those you hold dear! That try to take away everything that you hold dear! That try to force their twisted and oppressive ideology on you; to take away your freedom. To take away your autonomy!
Whether it’s the elites or the anarchists – they will show you no empathy! They will show you no compassion! They will show you no mercy – so I think it’s just fair that we return the favour!
They think that they can SCARE YOU! That they can TERRORIZE YOU! That you will just take this humiliation lying down!
But what they don’t know is that our community is strong! That we stand together! They underestimate the power of the people that truly love this community; that are willing to fight for it! That are willing to die for it!
We are one community! We are a family! All you need is a vision! A Leader. A voice. And I am honoured to be that voice!
Together, we will strike them down by taking away their most powerful weapon:
Books.
I mean, think about it folks. Books are the tool of the elites and the radical. They’re the privilege of the “intellectual elite” – while they look down on you! The hard-working citizens that make this community what it is!
What do you have to gain from ancient lies and slander, written down by people that are not like you! That, in fact, despise you! Let me make this tremendously clear – these people hate you!
They hate you, because they fear you. These books are a shield for them – to hide behind their “intellectual musings” and their fancy words and theories. Because they don’t want to accept the reality of the world, the reality that any sane person can see with their own two eyes! They think their academia is more valuable – more valid! – than your common sense!
And some go even farther than that! Some use those books as a reason to restrict your freedoms! To make you into second-class citizens! To take away the things you earned with your honest labour!
But not under my watch, folks.
UNDER DT2021. ALL LIBRARIES WILL BE DECLARED OBSOLETE!
And do you know what smart businessmen do with obsolete things? They burn them down.
I HEREBY PROMISE YOU … THAT MY FIRST ACT AS PRESIDENT WILL BE … TO REPLACE ALL LIBRARIES WITH SHOPPING MALLS AND PRISONS!
FOR MORE PROSPERITY AND MORE SECURITY! TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE REAL CITIZENS – OF YOU!
And who knows? You are all go-getters, you all know how to take charge! Maybe the flames of your righteous anger will burn … even tonight.
It’s not like it wouldn’t be deserved, folks. It’s not like we didn’t warn them.
landlords, police, and the bourgeoisie are not bad based on their individual moral failings. There are patterns in this area and they tend to make the impact of these groups far worse. But the reason they are all awful is based on the structural role they play.
Police: violently maintain the power of the state and the property-owning class. Even if they are nice people on a one to one level. You still should not have to live under the threat of state violence.
Landlords: take money from people for no reason other than they are rich enough to "own" a house they do not live in. Even if they are nice people on a one to one level. You still deserve to own the building you live in alongside those who share it with you.
bourgeoisie: take money from people for no reason other than they "own" the means of production. Even if they are nice people on a one to one level. You are still entitled to the wealth you create.
