If someone disagrees with some antifa group's methods, they're free to organize one with better strategies that are more effective at protecting people from fascist violence.
"Smart" and networked proprietary devices should be very much called what they are: dystopian junk.
If you want a less polemic term, use "automated surveillance devices," but really all of these TVs, home assistants, toasters, fridges, smoke detectors, etc. are dystopian junk.
We need "low tech" appliances, and we need personal computing devices that are, by design, fully controllable by the people using them.

My personal guide to the FediVerse: - search for cool posts via hashtags - subscribe to some cool people - mostly ignore both the local and the federated public feeds - discover new cool people via boosts and mentions in your home feed - be grateful to your cool admin, e.g. @CobaltVelvet (if your admin is not a cool admin, find another instance)
The lack of revolutionary potential in most existing co-ops is one of the many reasons why cooperative/collective economic projects should already incorporate an inherently anarchist approach at the founding level, and options for long-term horizontal scalability via federation with politically & structurally compatible projects shouldn't be an afterthought. Worker co-ops shouldn't be isolated. Instead, they should have the clear potential to be integral parts of a bottom-up needs-based economy.
@cwebber - guillotine jokes are not funny - actually deploying guillotines would be a mere inversion of power dynamics, not the abolition of rulers →that's very reactionary and in no way anarchist
@rysiek I'm still waiting for a write-up of the Project Raven / Karma piece that highlights the awfulness and hypocrisy of the whole "My spy activities only became evil when I had to target a certain kind of nationals" shtick.
