Collaboration with Police at Pitt Encampment

Posted on 2024/05/05 by berkmananarchy

Pro-Palestine encampment with Pitt students enters 3rd day in Oakland |  TribLIVE.com

Local news in Pittsburgh reported that the so-called leaders of the Free Palestine Encampment at University of Pittsburgh had collaborated with police. Despite the brief confrontation with police while some activists tried to establish some tents on ACTUAL school property, it has been exposed that there were ground rules set between these managers of revolt and the local pig army.

This explains the overall weakness and ineffectiveness of the encampment. They established ground rules to not actually disrupt anything on campus including the graduations occurring the weekend that overlapped the establishment of the encampment in support of Gaza.

This exposes the real facts on the ground. The attempt to establish even the limpest of encampments was pre-determined to fail because of collaboration.

This should be viewed as what it is: a traitorous act towards all well-meaning people engaged in social war with the capitalist system to end the genocide in Gaza.

This is where it gets heavy but necessary. The “leaders” who decided it was worth it to sell out all the people who came to help the encampments should be named and shamed. As anarchists, we should be aware of who these people are so we can know never to trust these people when situations get hot.

Anyone who collaborates with police is someone who is not a friend to people engaged in war against the system.

Why Anarchists Should Vote

Posted on 2024/04/02 - 2024/04/02 by berkmananarchy

Anonymously Submitted April 1st

A recent piece posted on here has a bunch of bullshit reasons why anarchists shouldn’t vote. From not achieving the desired ends, to validating a system of oppression, the piece simply vomits out leftist talking points undigested. The only reasonable arguments presented against voting were that one would not want to come out of the goon cave to vote, and that anarchists would assassinate whoever was elected anyway.

Man Robs First National Bank in Pittsburgh’s Southside

Posted on 2024/03/19 by berkmananarchy

Sourced from Mainstream Media

Police are looking for a person who robbed a bank in Pittsburgh’s Southside in broad daylight.

Officers were called to the 1100 block of E. Carson Street for reports of a robbery happening at the First National Bank just after 10 a.m. on Saturday.

A bank teller told officers that a person demanded $50 and $100 bills after approaching his station. The person made threats and said he had a gun.

The teller said they never saw a gun but said the man pulled up his shirt and showed his waistband, acting like he had a gun.

Police are still investigating.

REJECT STUDENT ACTIVISM, EMBRACE ANARCHY – An Invitation to Student Activists and Nihilistic Teens

exploring around with close friends. we dont know where were goin. we dont know what time it is. we didnt bring our phones. and we aint got watches. just tons of markers. time slips. we havent seen a cop once and its starting to feel like nothing is illegal. like property was never sacred and we weren’t ever citizens. we begin to feel the power were capable of. what its like to experience reality unmediated. by the cops. by property. by time. and we are liberated by it.

while we get wild. a sad affair unravels. the same kids who share our sick aversion for authority rot. their youth decays in meetings and at protests. between getting signatures for a petition and calling a representative. they forget what adventure is. what its like to exist without schooling. or work. or leftist politics. the kids want to free the planet but no one listens to them. have they tried freeing themselves?

Developing Action Capacity: A Path

Posted on 2024/03/06 - 2024/03/06 by berkmananarchy

Cross-posted from Scenes from the Atlanta Forest

Read or print this article as a zine.

“We are not special. Our skills are not overly technical or advanced, and our tools are simple to acquire. If you are reading this, you are capable of doing what we do.”

– APD Patrol Car Torched in Lakewood

While I agree with this sentiment, the reader is left with many questions about how to develop such a capacity for action, even if they are motivated. What exactly does it take to not get caught carrying out heavy actions like arson? This is especially important in the long run; not getting caught for a single arson is one thing, but being able to continue carrying out attacks in the face of heightened repressive attention is quite another.

For anyone who wants to carry out actions like this, but isn’t doing so yet, I’ve sketched an outline of the steps I think are necessary to sustain hard-hitting attacks on domination (limited to the topic of “operational” considerations, i.e., acquiring skills). This brief outline is intended to orient you and provide a “learning path” — each step has recommended reading that actually goes into the appropriate amount of depth on the subject. Use the Tails operating system to visit these links, which runs from a USB drive and leaves no trace on your computer. What I’ve written here is by no means definitive, and I hope to spark a dialogue about any operational aspects I may have neglected, as well as anything outside this scope that is important for sustaining and intensifying the capacity for action.
