Some thoughts on the Appelscha debacle

Maybe people need to refocus their priorities a bit.... that's why i post this here...

I was enjoying this whole saga for a while because you know, a good ol' indymedia bunfight is a traditional popcorn feast for an activist ground down by this cruel world. It helped me smile again for the first time this year. But actually now I'm starting to wonder how people can actually look at themselves in the mirror any more.

Just to be clear, I don't give a shit about Appelscha... i went a few times, i found it very cliquey, adults behaving like stupid kids running around drinking/kissing in the woods, jaja whatever. One year there was a circus with animals camped next door and all the anarchists talked about how it was bad and didn't do shit, so I had enough of that. Deeds not words (she says writing on indymedia haha). Anyway, I live in Maastricht, it's a long way to travel for that crap. Then my friend Maikel was kicked out by people mobilising a safe spaces discourse for ridiculous reasons and I cannot abide that sort of bullshit, so I gave up on heading north. And the findings of the dispute process were never implemented so I'm sure it's the just the same shit nowadays.

So I don't care if this event happens or not, what I do care about is that there are things right now that need our support...

For example, last week squatters in utrecht were convicted for the kraakverbod protest, there was the poke-a-cop courtcase, fash in amsterdam.

This week peike has a courtcase, autonoom centrum has a courtcase, we are here has a demo, i could go on. Are people busy with this shit? I am actually, I hope you are too.

The ZAD is crying out for international support and indymedia is full of posts showing anarchists here can't organise a pissup in a brewery.

People need to realise what is fucking important and what solidarity means.

This armchair anarchist says enough. Weg met Appelschijt.
