Friendly Anarchism

Remastered by A. Campbell Payne. Originally aired 9/3/17 CW: Suicide & police brutality Spoke with Aneka from the SoJust Collective about centering POC, the founding fathers, police brutality, educating allies, being tired, passing the mic, no plaforming/active platforming, confronting your racist family, the allyship industrial complex, rewarding white mediocrity, the Red Cross, Rechts Gegen Rechts, difficulties with fundraising, and seriously, ruin Christmas. You can donate to Aneka for their time by sending money to their venmo @pettymcbetty . If you counted more instances of bad allyship than I did, use your number, and if you counted fewer, use mine (14). Notes: - The controversy was in fact about Deady Hall at the University of Oregon, named after Judge Matthew Deady, co-author of the Oregon State Constitution and one of the most influential supporters of Oregon's Exclusion Laws. A good guest viewpoint written on the subject here: uwire.com/2016/02/14/guest-vie…dy-hall-must-change/ -For the uninitiated, "FTP" stands for Fuck The Police - There was concern expressed for me, but I'm not in that relationship anymore and that story is very old. The point of it is not the individualization of the issue but the systemic stresses - Instead of donating to the Red Cross, you can go here to find how to get money directly to those who need it for Hurricane Harvey relief: www.colorlines.com/articles/how-do…s-color-houston Referenced: CAHOOTS mobile crisis intervention: whitebirdclinic.org/cahoots/ Rechts Gegen Rechts: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvjIYl_Nlao Update 11/7/20: When this episode aired it was why I was rejected from Channel Zero Network. The reason given was because we should be talking about being "accomplices, not allies" and I was given a copy of the zine of the same name to read. However, we do talk about the Ally Industrial Complex in the episode and both Aneka and I disagreed with their response that this episode contributes to that mindset. However, you can read a copy of the zine here and decide for yourself: archive.org/details/Accomplices…lyIndustrialComplex

Wow! A. Campbell Payne is a listener and a professional audio engineer and offered to revamp some of the episodes, which is so awesome. This one in particular had major sound quality issues so here it is after they took a swing at it. Especially important to hear from trans people right now too. Thank you so much A.! Originally aired 7/9/17

Wow, this was a trip to find in the archives. Our first ever recording. A lot of it needs citations so listen critically, but there is a lot of good content (especially from CImms) that didn't make it into the first official episode so I'm glad to have found it. It's been a long four years and I don't feel the same way about everything any more, but this also sets up my next episode about Judas, militarism, and guilt very nicely. Feels good to step back and remember where this project came from and reflect on everything at the start of this harvest season. Transcript is partially done, got an auto transcript and it needs to be edited but it's a start: https://friendlyanarchism.medium.com/s1e0-how-it-started-3-23-17-transcript-f471b25f0988

Transcript: Hi all, so, life keeps happening and I've been having a hard time finding time to work on this show, but just so you know there is another episode in the works. This one is an essay like the first episode of this season and it's of a personal nature and I just want to make sure I get it right so I'm spending some extra time on it. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me! Thank you to my patrons. And also just so you know, one of the listeners of the show started a discord so if that's something that you're interested in please join, it was really cool that they created that space. So that's a new thing and I've posted the link to it on the soundcloud. Alright, just checking in and I will see you again soon. Help me out at www.patreon.com/friendlyanarchism and join the Discord at discord.gg/5msYfvZkdx thank you!

Don't have spoons for full episodes right now, but just messing around with other forms of expression in the meantime! This is a round I did with myself while stuck in quarantine a while ago. Listened to it again today and was like, what the heck, might as well put it out there. It's a reimagining of an old song from my childhood to try to express what it feels like to disassociate. Enjoy! A fan made a new discord: discord.gg/mPs8Peah

Just for funsies. Based on "Come All Ye Coal Miners" by Sarah Ogan Gunning, a turn of the 20th century union organizer.

"Let's do something that they can't even imagine." Part 2 of my conversation with my friend Candice who is an economist, communist, mother, and all around rad lady. We spoke about everyday antifascism, being a disabled and limited radical activist, taking care of each other, and more. Transcript: https://friendlyanarchism.medium.com/s2e3-everyday-antifascism-celebrity-and-making-something-new-with-candice-part-2-transcript-ecfcf650f20a Notes: -I just want to note that the inclusion of liberals, while a part of a popular front strategy, is playing with fire. I much prefer radicalizing/working with people who are apolitical -I should have mentioned fascist creep in the form of "gender critical" dialogue. Transphobia is a major source of reactionary rightwing garbage right now -I was a little hard on Portland, it's a big place with a big scene and so obviously not everyone involved has all the ego about it. A couple really good antifascist/activist resources coming out of that area are the podcasts "It Did Happen Here" and "Rural Roots Rising" -Many Q-anoners are in fact very dangerous, I had in mind one particular memory -Greasy hair does not actually protect you from Covid-19.

Candice is an economist, housing services specialist, communist, and mom who is brilliant. We spoke about Covid-19, how at-risk people are pushed to the front lines, shitty bosses, the injustice system, the roots of fascism, how important it is to listen to marginalized people, and much more.

I'm back! I never released this episode during the first season because I wasn't ready to talk about all of this. However, my personal backstory with "mental illness" and finding god is an important precursor to the second season, where we're going to delve more into neurodivergence, disability, and ableism. Transcript: https://medium.com/@friendlyanarchism/s1e31-5-the-spiritual-radical-left-burnout-and-disability-with-the-young-quaker-pod-transcript-18fa785d2b5e Show notes: I spoke with Jessica Hubbard-Bailey about being religious in a lefty household, the radical spiritual revival, pain caused by Christianity, the creation of white slaveholder evangelism, finding spirituality and Quakerism, carving out space for spiritual leftists, the benefits of having a person of faith in your affinity group, inner peace as a service to community, burn-out culture, the danger of spreading anxiety and fear, gender-coding of work, our personal stories of disability, productivity as worth, lithium, Jesus' love of the sick, John the Baptist, letting people exist instead of trying to fix you, being held in the light, wheelchairs are freedom, and the social model of disability. 7:05: It gets mentioned a few times throughout the show, so I want to clarify that the idea that the right has "co-opted" Jesus is often used as a cop-out and an excuse folks use to evade holding christianity accountable for all the damage it has done. 9:26: Article removed from Forbes on the destruction of amerikan liberation christianity: https://www.politicalorphans.com/the-article-removed-from-forbes-why-white-evangelicalism-is-so-cruel/ 16:05: I speak lovingly about the Quaker meeting houses in Philadelphia (which are beautiful) but I have since found out were in part built using money from the slavery trade. I had not learned yet at the time this was recorded about the messy and disturbing relationship between Quakerism, slavery, and whiteness. More on that subject: https://www.friendsjournal.org/slavery-in-the-quaker-world/ 26:00: Ironic erasure of the existing spiritual radical left communities by assuming whiteness of the "radical left", my apologies! 30:16: Affinity groups can be formed for any reason, not just by type of work. These days I prefer groups of 4-6. More info on affinity group organizing: https://www.sproutdistro.com/catalog/zines/organizing/affinity-groups-essential 35:58: Did I use they/them pronouns for god? Why yes I did *foreshadowing* 38:15: I use the word "healthy" a few times throughout the show, which can have ableist undertones. More on ableist language: https://www.disabilityandrepresentation.com/2013/09/14/ableist-language/ 39:12: Mutual Aid Disaster Relief has an incredible list of resources about mental/emotional/trauma/wellness care: https://mutualaiddisasterrelief.org/health-wellness/ 39:28: I heavily blamed myself for my burn-out but more was going on.. 51:48 : The term "differently abled" is widely understood as ableist, please forgive me as I was struggling to understand and express my own experience 55:23: Some feel that the phrase "hold you in the light" upholds the racist linguistic dichotomy of light/dark and prefer other variations such as "hold you in god's chocolate" 57:20: I learned about Juniper the Holy Fool from Mark Van Steenwyk's Deep Roots Podcast: https://www.markvans.info/deep-roots-podcast-at-play-with-the-holy-fools/ 57:15: *foreshadowing* - Also I meant to say "uncarved" block 59:30: I was 30 years old before hearing about the social model of disability vs. the medical model.

Scott Fitzgerald quote: "...the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. This philosophy fitted on to my early adult life, when I saw the improbable, the implausible, often the "impossible," come true."

anarchy (1)......... jesus CW: Graphic violence, police brutality, mention of sexual harassment ------- Note from Nov. 2020: It's hard to listen to how traumatized I am, but amazing to hear in real time the effects of experiencing police brutality first hand for the first time. I had had a number of bad experiences with cops in the past and had seen brutality at protests prior to this, but as (weirdly casually) mentioned, that day cops had tried to run over my friends, had assaulted clergy, and had clearly wanted to kill me in a way I had not personally experienced up to that point. Even for someone who was dedicated to nonviolence with ample mental and martial arts training, it was a lot to deal with. After much thought I left in moments of rage because people should hear what happens when cops act the way they do. ------- I spoke to Molly from Charlottesville DSA about the protest last weekend in Knoxville against Matthew Heimbach and the Tradworkers appearance on campus. We got into how much cops suck and why you should yell at them, what exactly it is that antifa do, keeping tabs on fascists (with shout outs to Chris Cantwell "The Crying Nazi", Jason Kessler, and others) diversity of tactics, and a lot more! Notes: -It's Traditionalist Worker Party, I obviously knew that, don't look at me. -There are a lot of different approaches to antifascism and I am not speaking for all antifascists, just from my own experience and how I understand the work. -A big shout out to my new patrons!

The House by the Side of the Road by Sam Walter Foss (1858-1911) There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the peace of their self-content; There are souls, like stars, that dwell apart, In a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths Where highways never ran;- But let me live by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Let me live in a house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by- The men who are good and the men who are bad, As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat, Or hurl the cynic's ban;- Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I see from my house by the side of the road, By the side of the highway of life, The men who press with the ardor of hope, The men who are faint with the strife. But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears- Both parts of an infinite plan;- Let me live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead And mountains of wearisome height; That the road passes on through the long afternoon And stretches away to the night. But still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice, And weep with the strangers that moan, Nor live in my house by the side of the road Like a man who dwells alone. Let me live in my house by the side of the road Where the race of men go by- They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong, Wise, foolish- so am I. Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat Or hurl the cynic's ban?- Let me live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend to man.

anarchy (1)......... jesus Spoke with a Bavarian comrade about why we shouldn't have to fight for normal things, denying abortion to rape victims, changes in the movement, ways to engage with the public, it's not just about punching nazis, neighborhood organizing and liberated districts, how antifascism can't get isolated, supporting local community, openness about being an antifascist, what you should and should not talk about in public, bringing our ideas to people, fascism isn't just in the past, paranoia & anti-repression work, sharing praxis, you don't fight for yourself alone, struggle in the street can't exist without the struggle in the background, protest tactics, black bloc strategy, having fun working under such stressful conditions, humor, enjoying the small successes, fighting fear, being creative, GNWP adaptations, Americans fucked up punk, in a perfect world we wouldn't need antifascism, antifa are the REAL fascists, all fascism is violent while antifascism is very diverse, liberals, fascism is capitalism in crisis, mutual aid as antifascism, and unlearning hate. *Notes: -Anarchists are doing a great job distributing literature to the public, happens a lot. Don't really know where that came from. -I say "antifa" really weird at one point. Yeah... I don't know. Didn't say it as weird as Mark Bray tho, so -Patriarchy is a problem in every type of household, singling out Muslim households is islamophobic

anarchy .......(8).. jesus Remastered Nov. 2021 by A. Campbell Payne! Spoke with Jane, a transwoman and member of the Newberg Friends Church about the current split happening in the Northwest Yearly Meeting, double standards in Faith & Practice, trans erasure, othering, trauma caused by intolerance, the tyranny of pacifism, the religious punishment kink, the corruptive power of money in the church, Quaker capitalism, Quaker Oats & Cadbury chocolates, how neither Jesus or George Fox were passive, quiet or calm, and the differences between a Friends Meeting and a Friends Church. Notes: I was contacted by a member of the West Hills Friends Meeting, which is one of the meetings being forced out by the NWYM, and here is a statement from her: " Hi. I'm a member at West Hills Friends, one of the meeting being removed by Northwest Yearly Meeting's decisions. I am so grateful for you and Jane for having this conversation. I only got to listen to the first half this morning and am looking forward to the rest of it this afternoon. I would like to point out that Jane missed a few important details or got some things mixed up - and it's all super complicated so I don't even know everything. But I do know that West Hills Friends created two minutes in 2008, one on authority and one on human sexuality, that the NYWM refused to engage with for a number of years. Here is a document created by a committee at West Hills Friends (and approved by the business meeting) that tells the story as far as we understand it. This document was created in an effort to remain transparent in the face of NWYMs lack of commitment to transparency. This story continues to unfold.... groups leaving NWYM have recently formed the Sierra-Cascades Yearly Meeting of Friends and are looking at how to move forward in building a christ centered, inclusive, Quaker community in the pacific northwest.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
