bang, y’know. 00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:55.460 Agitator - Well stop being such a whiny piss worm, and let the Greeks show you how it’s done. 00:01:55.460 --> 00:01:56.880 Remember when you used to play riot porn 00:01:56.880 --> 00:01:58.500 Stim - yeah… 00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.140 I remember… 00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:01.400 I remember… 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:02.660 I remember… 00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:44.019 Stim - Thanks Agitator, I needed that, for those of you who just don’t know, 8 years 00:02:44.019 --> 00:02:49.719 ago on december 6th, pigs in Athens killed teenage anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos. 00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:54.520 The reaction from peeps in the A-team was bold and swift, with weeks of epic riots in 00:02:54.530 --> 00:02:59.040 which 74 cops were injured and lot’s of shit got burned, including cops. 00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:03.540 Now every December 6th, peeps take to the streets to remember Alexis and to set a few 00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:04.569 pigs on fire. 00:03:04.569 --> 00:03:05.669 Check this shit out. 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.120 Agitator - But seriously dude, why are you fuckin quitting? 00:03:25.129 --> 00:03:29.710 Stim - Well, agitator, a while back we made a video hating on anarcho-capitalism. 00:03:29.710 --> 00:03:34.590 Buuuuuuuuuut after pouring over the hundreds of youtube comments, watching some response 00:03:34.590 --> 00:03:39.530 videos and doing some research, I concluded that letting the free market really be free, 00:03:39.530 --> 00:03:44.270 would unleash peeps’ creativity and humanity could reach it’s highest potential, through 00:03:44.270 --> 00:03:47.200 friendly competition, unregulated by the state. 00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:52.200 So, from now on I will be promoting the tenets of anarcho-capitalism with the creation of 00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:56.160 a  new fuckin show entitled “Freedom…. in my mom’s basement” 00:03:57.579 --> 00:04:02.239 HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:03.299 Agitator – Good one stim 00:04:03.299 --> 00:04:07.749 Anywho, while ancaps were furiously whining against feminists and leftists, peeps in North 00:04:07.749 --> 00:04:11.790 Dakota were bracing for a massive fucking showdown with the pigs on December 5th. 00:04:11.790 --> 00:04:16.108 You see, the Army Corps of Engineers, the same ones who oversee the shitty levees in 00:04:16.108 --> 00:04:20.089 New Orleans, issued an eviction notice to folks camping close to a drilling site for 00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:24.410 the Dakota Access Pipeline or DAPL, saying that it wasn’t safe for them to be there 00:04:24.410 --> 00:04:25.410 in the winter. 00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:29.000 Since the Army Corps are super concerned with protecting people’s rights, they even provided 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.450 water protectors with their very own free speech zone. 00:04:31.450 --> 00:04:36.080 OK have fun enjoy your right to free speech, the armed forces welcomes your dissent 00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:40.920 Then on December 4th, the day before the eviction, thousands of US army veterans arrived at the 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.890 site to serve as human shields to stop police attacks against water protectors, as the stage 00:04:45.890 --> 00:04:47.450 was set for a massive crackdown. 00:04:47.450 --> 00:04:53.080 Buuuuuuuuuuuut in a surprise move, the man-your-mama-calls-Obama got the Army Corps to deny a permit for a 00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:57.690 key part of the pipeline that would borrow under the Missouri river, kick-starting celebrations 00:04:57.690 --> 00:04:59.510 at the camp and around the world 00:04:59.510 --> 00:05:03.570 What we need to do is we have to be proud of what we did 00:05:03.580 --> 00:05:08.400 We have to be honored by the victory and it’s time now 00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:11.080 it’s time to go home 00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:14.740 But  some peeps,  felt that it was too soon to claim victory and leave 00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:16.920 the Standing Rock encampment 00:05:16.930 --> 00:05:23.440 Energy Transfer came out within hours and said it doesn’t matter what the Obama administration 00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:25.780 says we’re sticking with this route and we’re 00:05:25.780 --> 00:05:27.940 going to drill anyway 00:05:27.940 --> 00:05:32.760 Yep, the fight to stop DAPL is not over, and despite the call from Archambolt that peeps 00:05:32.760 --> 00:05:35.950 should leave, hard core water protectors are digging in for the long haul. 00:05:35.950 --> 00:05:41.520 There isn’t a country in the world that would find billion of barrels of oil and leave 00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:44.020 it in the ground while there is a market for it 00:05:44.020 --> 00:05:47.870 Meanwhile up in Klanada the Unist’ot’en Camp has been doing some celebrating of their 00:05:47.870 --> 00:05:53.110 own, as the federal government hammered the final nail in the coffin of the Northern Gateway 00:05:53.110 --> 00:05:57.410 Pipeline, an Enbridge project that they have been physically blocking for 7 years. 00:05:57.410 --> 00:06:02.780 Buuuuuuuuuuuuut this victory was also bittersweet, as pretty boy prime minister Justin Trudeau, 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:07.990 approved two other tar sands pipelines on the same day, Enbridge’s Line 3 and Kinder 00:06:07.990 --> 00:06:08.990 Morgan’s Trans Mountain. 00:06:08.990 --> 00:06:12.490 Following JT’s announcement, Klanada’s Minister of Natural Resources warned anyone 00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:14.720 hoping to duplicate what went down In Standing Rock 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:21.660 if people choose for their own reasons not to be peaceful then the government of Canada 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:28.200 through its defense forces through its police forces will ensure the people are kept safe 00:06:28.200 --> 00:06:32.820 Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut anyone who has been following indigenous resistance in Klanada for the past 00:06:32.820 --> 00:06:38.740 26 years, knows that when native land is threatened peeps here throw down and they throw hard 00:06:39.380 --> 00:06:45.040 That's great, it starts with an earthquake Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes, 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.540 And Lenny Bruce is not afraid 00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:48.220 Let's go! 00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:50.760 Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn 00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:52.960 World serves its own needs, Don't mis-serve your own needs 00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:56.140 Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength, The ladder starts to clatter 00:06:56.140 --> 00:06:59.360 With a fear of height, down, height Wire in a fire, represent the seven games 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.520 And a government for hire and a combat site Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry 00:07:03.520 --> 00:07:08.080 With the Furies breathing down your neck Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, 00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:11.520 tethered, cropped Look at that low plane, fine, then 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.740 Uh oh, overflow, population, common group But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself 00:07:15.740 --> 00:07:18.120 World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.760 Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right 00:07:20.760 --> 00:07:23.660 You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light 00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:28.800 Feeling pretty psyched It's the end of the world as we know it 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.540 It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it 00:07:33.540 --> 00:07:37.900 It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it 00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:42.440 And I feel fine 00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:45.620 While in the process of wrapping up this fuckin 00:07:45.650 --> 00:07:49.680 show, I went to my favorite taco joint to do a little self reflecting on the good the 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.450 bad and the fuckin stupid shit I’ve experienced over the last 10 fuckin years. 00:07:53.450 --> 00:07:56.920 So I’m gonna spit out a bunch of shit that comes to mind when I think about my work at 00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.890 subMedia since I first started putting out seditions back in 2006, and hopefully set 00:08:01.890 --> 00:08:04.110 the record straight on a few things. 00:08:04.110 --> 00:08:05.110 Uno 00:08:05.110 --> 00:08:08.750 For some fuckin reason, otherwise smart fucking people seem to get off on splitting the world 00:08:08.750 --> 00:08:11.250 into a series of competing categories. 00:08:11.250 --> 00:08:16.310 Good versus Bad, Left versus Right, Taco versus Burrito, when in reality shit’s way more 00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:18.110 complex and nuanced than that. 00:08:18.110 --> 00:08:22.680 For example.. tacos are quite clearly the most delicious food ever fucking created, 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:27.410 but some tacos fucking suck.... like the ones that have pineapple in them, what the fuck. 00:08:27.410 --> 00:08:32.010 Burritos on the other hand can carry a wide variety of ingredients, that tacos, due to 00:08:32.010 --> 00:08:33.429 their small size cannot. 00:08:33.429 --> 00:08:35.750 Plus burritos are way more portable. 00:08:35.750 --> 00:08:37.690 Fuck, I’m hungry now. 00:08:37.690 --> 00:08:42.260 anyway, we take great pleasure in crucifying and vilifying the capitalist death machine 00:08:42.270 --> 00:08:46.680 known as the United Snakes, and nothing would make us happier than to see it disintegrate 00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:50.560 and the stolen land it was built on returned to its original inhabitants. 00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:54.560 I think we make this pretty fuckin clear in every single muthafuckin episode. 00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:58.820 Yet, whenever we publish critiques of so-called “socialist” states, we are labeled as 00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:02.560 tools of the gringo empire and accused of being financed by the Clinton foundation. 00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:04.280 Traitor!!!! 00:09:04.280 --> 00:09:08.000 And on the flip-side, right wingers see our critiques of the Orange one 00:09:08.660 --> 00:09:12.660 as endorsements of Hill Dawg, and proof that we’re funded by George Soros. 00:09:12.690 --> 00:09:17.780 If I can be real with y’all, people seriously need to get their heads outta their asses. 00:09:17.780 --> 00:09:20.140 This type of binary thinking is fuckin useless. 00:09:20.140 --> 00:09:24.780 So let me set the record straight and please try not to be confused, because... 00:09:24.780 --> 00:09:26.120 This shit is REAL! 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.960 Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit, Hillary Clinton is a hawkish piece of 00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:35.330 shit, Bernie Sanders is a fuckin sellout, Jill Stein is a fuckin idiot and Gary Johnson, 00:09:35.330 --> 00:09:37.310 ehhhh never mind. 00:09:37.310 --> 00:09:41.010 Authoritarian socialist states have jailed and killed dissidents including anarchists, 00:09:41.010 --> 00:09:42.240 and so have capitalists states. 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:43.680 They all need to be fucking smashed. 00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:49.060 I am an anarchist, and a control freak, I love both tacos and burritos, I hate sexists, 00:09:49.060 --> 00:09:51.900 love hip hop, hate Obama, love freedom. 00:09:51.900 --> 00:09:52.400 Next! 00:09:52.400 --> 00:09:53.400 Dos 00:09:53.400 --> 00:09:56.600 Identity Politics are cannibalizing our movements. 00:09:56.610 --> 00:09:59.900 Important theoretical contributions that once served as used as tools for understanding 00:09:59.900 --> 00:10:04.330 and explaining shared experiences of oppression based on race, gender, sexuality, ability 00:10:04.330 --> 00:10:07.960 and nationality, are increasingly morphing into liberal bullying tactics used to shut 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.810 down conversations and settle beefs, and have helped to creating a police-like atmosphere 00:10:11.810 --> 00:10:12.690 in our spaces. 00:10:12.690 --> 00:10:13.990 If you wish to avoid prosecution 00:10:13.990 --> 00:10:16.740 I would advice to you comply with our language laws 00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:20.880 And corporate social media outlets like fedbook have created the perfect conditions for this 00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:22.920 liberal poison to fester and thrive. 00:10:22.920 --> 00:10:26.700 ♪ If I were you I'd take precaution ♪ 00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:30.620 Identity Politicians accumulate social capital, much like capitalist pigs accumulate wealth 00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:32.200 and thus create invisible hierarchies, 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:33.720 Him and Gordon split up 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.300 Oh... Poor Ches 00:10:36.300 --> 00:10:37.480 No, no, no, no, no, we're all on Gordon's side 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.220 Sure 00:10:39.740 --> 00:10:42.279 where the people at the top can easily trash a comrade 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.010 with a single status post or tweet, that will further unleash the wrath of their followers 00:10:46.010 --> 00:10:50.360 and send said person into oblivion without much accountability or process. 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:55.769 While we struggle to rid society and ourselves of patriarchy, white supremacy, colonialism, 00:10:55.769 --> 00:10:59.740 capitalism etc, we must find new and better ways of confronting the contradictions within 00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:03.940 our communities without chastising and exiling every single motherfuckin person, who has 00:11:03.940 --> 00:11:08.160 ever transgressed a rule they didn’t know about, is not pure enough, or that hasn’t 00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:09.760 reached the 7th level of anarchism. 00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:10.890 He’s the one 00:11:10.890 --> 00:11:12.570 It’s problematic, y’know? 00:11:12.570 --> 00:11:13.810 Traitor! 00:11:13.810 --> 00:11:15.160 Tres 00:11:15.160 --> 00:11:16.700 Speaking of problematic language. 00:11:16.710 --> 00:11:20.710 When this show started 10 years ago and in the years that followed, I said some really 00:11:20.710 --> 00:11:23.740 stupid fuckin shit that hurt some comrades feelings. 00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:28.230 While my intentions were never to make homies feel shitty, my use of certain words or descriptors 00:11:28.230 --> 00:11:32.610 were due mainly to ignorance, and thanks to the patience of peeps who reached out to me, 00:11:32.610 --> 00:11:36.800 I was able to see their points and removed certain shitty verbiage from my vernacular 00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:40.890 without having to sacrifice my love of fuckin curse words and grotesque humor. 00:11:40.890 --> 00:11:44.250 So to those I may have offended, I’m really fuckin sorry. 00:11:44.280 --> 00:11:45.260 Cuatro 00:11:45.260 --> 00:11:46.920 Throughout the years I traveled the world 00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:50.300 screening my fuckin videos, and got to meet lot’s of good folks who were kind enough 00:11:50.300 --> 00:11:54.310 to offer me a couch, some dumpstered food, and a dirty sheet to project my propaganda. 00:11:54.310 --> 00:11:57.339 I’d like to say once again spank you very much. 00:11:57.340 --> 00:11:58.340 Cinco 00:11:58.340 --> 00:11:59.340 So… 00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:00.460 About Alex Jones 00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:07.400 Joking aside, and with this I’ll shut the fuck up, because honestly I’m sounding kinda 00:12:07.400 --> 00:12:08.400 preachy. 00:12:08.400 --> 00:12:09.400 Shut the fuck up! 00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:11.860 The extreme right media is kicking our fucking ass. 00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:15.500 In our quest for furthering our ideas, we’ve fallen prey to continually speaking to each 00:12:15.500 --> 00:12:18.690 other in a language few outside our bubble can understand. 00:12:18.690 --> 00:12:22.430 An anarchist is someone who believes that the burden of proof rests upon those who claim 00:12:22.430 --> 00:12:25.250 hierarchical privileges for themselves or others 00:12:25.250 --> 00:12:29.279 I take responsibility in participating in this, and honestly it’s pretty fuckin hard 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:30.279 to avoid. 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:35.300 But if we want to fuckin win, we have to stop acting like smug intellectual know-it-alls, 00:12:35.300 --> 00:12:36.650 and practice what we preach. 00:12:36.650 --> 00:12:40.710 To all y’all who harbour a burning desire to create radical media…. 00:12:40.710 --> 00:12:42.540 fuckin do it, and do it quick. 00:12:42.540 --> 00:12:44.500 But please attempt to make shit that’s accessible. 00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:47.810 Don’t make media that’s gonna score you brownie points with your crew. 00:12:47.810 --> 00:12:51.220 And by all means, strive for creating the highest quality content you can. 00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:53.240 specially when corporate fucks and 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.390 racist scum like Alex Jones are cranking out slick ass shit. 00:12:56.390 --> 00:12:58.040 I’m setting fires everywhere! 00:12:58.040 --> 00:13:02.240 As regular fucking viewers of my show will know, I usually like to end each sedition 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:06.190 with an interview, and over the past decade I’ve had the honor of chatting with dozens 00:13:06.190 --> 00:13:08.300 of radical peeps from across the world. 00:13:08.300 --> 00:13:12.420 Buuuuuuuuuuut since this is my last fucking show, I figured that I’d flip shit around, 00:13:12.420 --> 00:13:14.000 and take questions from you fuckers. 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.410 So… in order to do so, last week I put a call out for all your most ass-burning questions 00:13:18.410 --> 00:13:20.960 that you always wanted to ask yours fucking truly. 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.540 We ended up getting a shit-ton of great fucking responses… and my team of subMedia slaves 00:13:24.540 --> 00:13:26.440 had a hard time narrowing them down. 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.430 Anyway… let’s get this fucking show on the road. 00:13:28.430 --> 00:13:30.050 Agitator… will you do the honors? 00:13:30.050 --> 00:13:32.339 AGITATOR: Do I have a fucking choice? 00:13:32.339 --> 00:13:33.950 STIM: Just fucking do it. 00:13:33.950 --> 00:13:36.089 AGITATOR: Hey Stim, how the fuck are you 00:13:36.089 --> 00:13:37.360 STIM: Oh fuck off already 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.230 AGITATOR: Y’know... you really need to get more friends. 00:13:40.230 --> 00:13:44.960 OK… first question comes from Youtube commenter The Unapologetic Leftist, who asks 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.920 “Why do you think pissy liberals are against antifa and against smashing the homes of Nazis?” 00:13:49.920 --> 00:13:53.520 STIM: Well that’s easy, Unapologetic… it’s because liberals are fucking cowards 00:13:53.520 --> 00:13:54.670 who don’t wanna rock the boat. 00:13:54.670 --> 00:13:58.330 Kinda like those so-called “Good Germans” who didn’t do anything to stop the rise 00:13:58.330 --> 00:14:03.250 of Hitler and his goose-stepping Gestapo homies, liberals don’t see nazis as a direct threat 00:14:03.250 --> 00:14:07.180 to their own well-being, so they’re unwilling to question deeply-ingrained myths, such as 00:14:07.180 --> 00:14:11.430 dogmatic non-violence, that they have been spoon-fed their entire lives by the state 00:14:11.430 --> 00:14:14.779 and capitalist media to keep them docile and subservient. 00:14:14.779 --> 00:14:18.399 At the end of the day, liberals don’t really believe very strongly in anything, which is 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.250 why they find people with strong beliefs so fucking irrational. 00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:23.770 Especially if they’re willing to act on them. 00:14:23.770 --> 00:14:28.220 Their own values change constantly, depending on the prevailing winds of popular opinion... 00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:32.730 and whatever positions they hold on a particular issue are generally aimed at maintaining a 00:14:32.730 --> 00:14:34.800 smug feeling of moral superiority. 00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:37.240 That’s why I always hate on so-called “progressives”. 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.390 It’s a completely fucking relative term… it’s basically like saying “I’m better 00:14:41.390 --> 00:14:44.709 than you” and using that to describe your political orientation. 00:14:44.780 --> 00:14:49.160 AGITATOR: Next question comes from youtube user Max Stirner, who asks “why do you think 00:14:49.160 --> 00:14:51.690 the alt-right has such a huge online presence?” 00:14:51.690 --> 00:14:52.690 STIM: So… 00:14:52.690 --> 00:14:56.480 I think the spread of the alt-right is based on a bunch of factors that are specific to 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.410 our particular time and context. 00:14:59.410 --> 00:15:03.730 First of all, here in Turtle Island, the past few years has seen a big spike in resistance 00:15:03.730 --> 00:15:07.850 coming from traditionally marginalized groups… from Black, Brown and Indigenous peeps, to 00:15:07.850 --> 00:15:10.230 women, trans and non-gender conforming folks. 00:15:10.230 --> 00:15:14.740 And history has shown us that any time marginalized groups have begun to collectively challenge 00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:19.640 the oppressive status quo, those in the dominant group see this as a threat to their privileged 00:15:19.640 --> 00:15:23.660 social position, and organize to reinforce the systems of oppression that they’ve been 00:15:23.660 --> 00:15:25.240 used to benefitting from. 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:29.240 In this case, it’s no surprise that the alt-right has brought together a toxic fucking 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:33.920 mix of white nationalists, neo-nazis, and MRA-type misogynists…. 00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:37.590 not to mention the fact that it seems to be almost completely composed of white dudes. 00:15:37.590 --> 00:15:41.710 I also think that identity politics have really morphed into a crude type of liberalism for 00:15:41.710 --> 00:15:45.060 a large part of the left, and this is something that’s been really helped along by the whole 00:15:45.060 --> 00:15:47.209 echo-chamber effect created by fedbook. 00:15:47.209 --> 00:15:50.310 More and more peeps are starting to see any form of debate or disagreement with their 00:15:50.310 --> 00:15:55.150 own views and opinions to be an attack, or a violation of their safe space, or whatever. 00:15:55.150 --> 00:15:58.890 That type of orientation leaves itself pretty open to mockery from people who don’t share 00:15:58.890 --> 00:16:03.520 those views, and the alt-right has seized this opportunity with both fucking hands. 00:16:03.520 --> 00:16:04.520 Last, but not least…. 00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:09.029 I think it’s pretty fucking telling that this movement has taken shape over the Internet, 00:16:09.029 --> 00:16:10.410 and not in the streets. 00:16:10.410 --> 00:16:13.670 Lot's of peeps talk mad shit on the Internet that they would never say to a person’s 00:16:13.670 --> 00:16:16.399 face… just look at the fucking comments on my youtube videos. 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.850 So... the fact that they’re safe behind their keyboards lets these fuckers be as extreme 00:16:19.850 --> 00:16:23.890 as they want without having to deal with the consequences that they would face if they 00:16:23.890 --> 00:16:26.150 were actually meeting and organizing IRL. 00:16:26.150 --> 00:16:30.020 It’s important that we never allow them to win control of the streets… or else we’re 00:16:30.020 --> 00:16:31.420 in for some dark fucking times. 00:16:31.420 --> 00:16:34.490 AGITATOR: But Stim… don’t you basically just talk mad shit on the Internet? 00:16:34.490 --> 00:16:36.250 I mean… you don’t even have a fucking body. 00:16:36.250 --> 00:16:37.250 STIM:  Next question! 00:16:37.250 --> 00:16:41.620 AGITATOR: The next question comes from twitter handle “Soleil from Astoria”, who wants 00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:43.650 to know what you thought about that last commenter. 00:16:43.650 --> 00:16:44.650 STIM: What the fuck? 00:16:44.650 --> 00:16:45.650 AGITATOR: Yeah…. 00:16:45.650 --> 00:16:49.730 their question is “what do you think about Max Stirner, Egoism and individualist anarchism.” 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:51.780 STIM: For fuck’s sake Agitator… 00:16:51.790 --> 00:16:53.310 Max Stirner was…. 00:16:53.310 --> 00:16:55.360 Fuck it... nevermind. 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.750 *AHEM* To answer your question, Soleil…I see Individualist 00:16:58.750 --> 00:17:01.180 anarchism as being sorta like masturbation. 00:17:01.180 --> 00:17:05.647 Which is to say… it’s a fun way to learn what turns your crank, and a great hobby to 00:17:05.647 --> 00:17:09.368 pass the time while you’re gangsta chillin by yourself, but not quite the same as the 00:17:09.368 --> 00:17:11.618 real thing... if you catch my drift. 00:17:11.618 --> 00:17:15.259 Putting the whole wanking analogy aside, I think Stirner and other individualists have 00:17:15.259 --> 00:17:19.877 made some important contributions to anarchist theory, and I agree that individual autonomy 00:17:19.877 --> 00:17:22.739 is a vital safeguard against the tyranny of the collective. 00:17:22.739 --> 00:17:27.169 Buuuuuuuuuuuuut at the same time, focusing solely on individual autonomy at the expense 00:17:27.169 --> 00:17:30.090 of collective struggle seems to me to be a huge fucking cop-out. 00:17:30.090 --> 00:17:35.190 I know that’s not what all egoists are about, but it seems to be a bit of a slippery slope. 00:17:35.190 --> 00:17:39.950 I just think there needs to be a healthy balance between realizing your own desires, and channelling 00:17:39.950 --> 00:17:43.700 your effort and sacrifice into something bigger than yourself. 00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:48.700 Plus I’ve known a couple of individualist anarchists who were complete fucking douche-nozzles…. 00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:49.700 so there’s that. 00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:53.409 AGITATOR: Next question is from twitter user Alex Berkmensch, who asks “do you think 00:17:53.409 --> 00:17:55.519 anarchists can be in solidarity with Israel.” 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.031 STIM: I don’t think anarchists can be in solidarity with any state, let alone with 00:17:59.031 --> 00:18:00.970 a settler-colonial state like Isra-hell. 00:18:00.970 --> 00:18:03.980 Same goes with Klanada, or the United Snakes for that matter. 00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:07.429 That said, I’ve got Israeli comrades, and I do think that peeps can and should be in 00:18:07.429 --> 00:18:11.000 solidarity with Israelis… particularly those who are repressed by their own government 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:12.860 for demonstrating solidarity with Palestinians. 00:18:12.860 --> 00:18:17.899 I do also think that while criticizing zionism isn’t necessarily anti-semitic if it’s 00:18:17.899 --> 00:18:21.720 done through an anti-colonial lens, that lots of leftists in this part of the world are 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:25.860 pretty fucking comfortable criticizing the Israeli occupation of Palestine, and would 00:18:25.860 --> 00:18:29.899 benefit from spending a little more time looking in the mirror with regards to their own relationship 00:18:29.899 --> 00:18:31.870 with Indigenous peeps here in Turtle Island. 00:18:31.870 --> 00:18:35.730 AGITATOR: Next question comes from youtube user The Vegan Anarchist, who asks: “what 00:18:35.730 --> 00:18:38.100 do you think about Animal Liberation and Veganarchism? 00:18:38.100 --> 00:18:39.779 R u going Vegan? 00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:42.639 Can you give my anarchist channel The Vegan Anarchist a shout out?” 00:18:42.639 --> 00:18:45.029 STIM: Lots of peeps have asked me about this over the years. 00:18:45.029 --> 00:18:49.320 So… to answer your question, I’m not a vegan, and don’t plan on going vegan anytime 00:18:49.320 --> 00:18:50.320 soon. 00:18:50.320 --> 00:18:52.789 I guess maybe I haven’t found the right vegan taco recipe yet. 00:18:52.789 --> 00:18:56.779 I do have lots of comrades who are vegan, and I respect their reasons for doing so. 00:18:56.779 --> 00:19:01.190 Factory farming is fucking horrific, and I have serious respect for militant animal liberation 00:19:01.190 --> 00:19:05.940 activists who put shit on the line to jailbreak furry critters out of fur farms, and fuck 00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:08.030 up vivisection labs and shit like that. 00:19:08.030 --> 00:19:13.230 Buuuuuuuuuuut at the end of the day, if I’m being honest, I don’t think it’s realistic 00:19:13.230 --> 00:19:16.940 that a critical mass of peeps are going to go vegan, and that’s going to bring down 00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:18.149 the meat and dairy industries. 00:19:18.149 --> 00:19:22.480 It’s kind of like those peeps who pin their hopes on bringing down capitalism by having 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:24.830 everyone putting their money into credit unions. 00:19:24.830 --> 00:19:25.830 Not gonna happen. 00:19:25.830 --> 00:19:29.710 I also think it’s important to respect the fact that hunting and fishing practices make 00:19:29.710 --> 00:19:33.610 up a vital part of many Indigenous peeps traditional way of life, and it’s fucked up to lecture 00:19:33.610 --> 00:19:37.789 them about that shit, because it’s really industrial capitalism and colonialism that’s 00:19:37.789 --> 00:19:41.600 fucked up human beings’ relationship to nature and the animal kingdom. 00:19:41.600 --> 00:19:45.659 So I guess my answer is that veganism is a respectable choice, but it’s not everyone’s 00:19:45.659 --> 00:19:49.259 choice… and as an anarchist I’m against forcing people into making particular lifestyle 00:19:49.259 --> 00:19:50.259 choices. 00:19:50.259 --> 00:19:51.720 Also… shout out to your youtube channel. 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:52.720 W00p w00p. 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.570 AGITATOR:  Next question comes from Jane Smith on fedbook, who asks “what do you 00:19:55.570 --> 00:20:00.140 think of Anonymous”... and also, Ash Fawkes on youtube, who asks “how much do you love 00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:01.140 AnonResistance?” 00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:05.519 STIM:  I think Anonymous and particularly AnonResistance are fucking crucial steps towards 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:09.549 building a multi-faceted resistance movement that can adapt to and take advantage of the 00:20:09.549 --> 00:20:11.440 changing realities of the cyber era. 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:16.190 I don’t agree with, or condone every action claimed by Anonymous, but that’s to be expected 00:20:16.190 --> 00:20:19.240 from a loosely structured, decentralized and, uhhh…. 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.240 anonymous group like that. 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:25.159 I hope that anarchists and other freedom-loving peeps with the necessary hacking skills keep 00:20:25.159 --> 00:20:29.609 pushing back at the sexist 4Chan Gamer-gate types who seem to make up the more reactionary 00:20:29.609 --> 00:20:30.820 elements within the group. 00:20:30.820 --> 00:20:34.899 We’re at a point in history where, more than ever, information is power… and so 00:20:34.899 --> 00:20:38.220 the fact that there’s an anarchist, or at least anarchist-sympathetic hacker group is 00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:39.669 so fucking crucial. 00:20:39.669 --> 00:20:43.110 The next few years I think we’re gonna see cyber-warfare become an even more important 00:20:43.110 --> 00:20:44.710 battlefront between states… 00:20:44.710 --> 00:20:49.449 And it’s parmount that the mothafuckin resistance has the ability to wage our own cyber-class-warfare. 00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:55.059 AGITATOR: Next… youtube user jugeoben asks “Have you heard of anarcho-primitivism? 00:20:55.059 --> 00:20:57.270 If so, what do you think of it?” 00:20:57.270 --> 00:21:01.220 Uhhhh… also, a whole bunch of peeps mentioned your politics seem to have changed over the 00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:05.090 years, and wanna know what you think about Derrick Jensen and Deep Green Resistance... 00:21:05.090 --> 00:21:07.720 uhhh…. since you did that movie... END:CIV 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.720 STIM:  Yeah, yeah… 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:10.100 I fucking get it. 00:21:10.109 --> 00:21:15.679 Well, jugeoben, to answer your question first… yes, I am familiar with anarcho-primitivism. 00:21:15.679 --> 00:21:19.809 Lots of peeps over the years have referred to me as an anarcho-primitivist, even though 00:21:19.809 --> 00:21:21.580 I’ve never used the label to describe myself. 00:21:21.580 --> 00:21:25.539 There’s generally not much space given for nuance on the green anarchist side of things. 00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:29.799 I think primitivism was useful for some of the critiques it made of industrial civilization, 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:34.669 but I think the solutions it offers to those problems are utopian, to put it mildly. 00:21:34.669 --> 00:21:38.889 People are not going to stop using technology and return to some sort of ancestral nomadic 00:21:38.889 --> 00:21:42.359 way of life from back before the dawn of agriculture. 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:46.320 I think that a lot of former primitivists have acknowledged as much.. and many have 00:21:46.320 --> 00:21:50.179 moved onto nihilism, which says a lot about where they were coming from to begin with. 00:21:50.179 --> 00:21:54.500 As for the shit about End:Civ… all I can say is that when I made the movie, Deep Green 00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:56.190 Resistance, as a movement, didn’t exist. 00:21:56.190 --> 00:22:00.030 I don’t agree with any of the shit that Derrick Jensen or other members of DGR wrote 00:22:00.030 --> 00:22:03.710 or said about trans folks… a person’s gender identity and expression is their own 00:22:03.710 --> 00:22:07.970 choice to make, and it’s fucked up to exclude trans people from gender-specific spaces. 00:22:07.970 --> 00:22:10.630 I do still agree with a lot of what was included in the film... 00:22:10.630 --> 00:22:16.190 Buuuuuuut in hindsight it was a mistake to focus it so heavily on the ideas of a single 00:22:16.190 --> 00:22:17.250 personality. 00:22:17.250 --> 00:22:21.260 As for the changes in my politics… part of that has been me changing my mind on a 00:22:21.260 --> 00:22:25.879 couple of things, but another big factor was the fact that a couple of years ago subMedia 00:22:25.879 --> 00:22:29.970 was infiltrated by an anarcho-commie named Heatscore, who’s been helping me produce 00:22:29.970 --> 00:22:30.970 the show. 00:22:30.970 --> 00:22:32.889 HEATSCORE: What you saying about me you primie fuck? 00:22:32.889 --> 00:22:36.480 STIM: So yeah… to sum up, subMedia is a collective made up of green and red anarchists, 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.230 who put that sectarian shit aside to focus on our shared love of watching cops get lit 00:22:40.230 --> 00:22:41.230 on fire. 00:22:41.230 --> 00:22:44.550 Agitator - Seriously dude why are you fuckin quitting?
