Last month, @riccisergienko.bsky.social talked with me about contrasts between the academic study of social movements and the experience of organizing or participating in them. Here's a lightly-edited version of the core of that conversation. dartthrowingchimp.com/2025/05/15/c...

Get in, folks. We’re hating on academics & calling out liberal counterinsurgency. Academics, liberals, the Democratic Party, & their partners in the nonprofit space are a barrier to “progress” (liberation) for poor & working people. This must be accepted as truth as we move forward.

And I guess this brings me to the larger point that we are being asked to defend a lot of things that have been failing us for a long time and instead of really working to make things better for everyone we left a wide open lane for rich assholes to destroy institutions, trump/musk to end democracy.

It’s pretty wild bc you listen to NPR and it really sucks. Constant nonadvertising advertising for all the big donors, constant bugs about upcoming programming, constant 5 second music interludes, constant platforming of center-right talking points without effective push back.

Pretty much every action aimed at “US dominance” has made the US weaker in the world. We could be enjoying massively deployed cheap solar, cheap evs, a healthy relationship. Instead everything will continue to get more expensive as polluters are allowed to keep on polluting.

Haven't promoted the book in a while for fairly obvious reasons [all this], but this review is a great introduction. Also, please check out the book if you want to learn more about an institution that has long enshrined the sorts of harm and violence now ubiquitously apparent in US society.
