Ep 15. Toward The Queerest Insurrection (Again)

Now, I want this to note that the Anarchist Library wrongly says that Toward the Queerest Insurrection was published in 2014.

It was not published in 2014.

It was published around 2008.

So basically, Towards the Queerest Insurrection was written in the late 2000s in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by the Mary Nardi Gang.

And it was handed out at that time as a flyer and a pamphlet.

And it was handed out across this entire Midwest queer activism circuit, which included places like Milwaukee, Chicago, Bloomington, Indiana, for some reason, Minneapolis.

Queer activism in America in the 2000s was... really most prominent in this Midwest region.

And that's been the same region where we've seen a lot of the far left activism come out of.

As a reminder, Antifa, modern day Antifa, as we know it today, was founded in Minneapolis in 1986.

It was the sharp movement, the skinheads against racial prejudice that became the anti-racist action network.

That is the foundation for modern Antifa activism in the United States today.

The Mary Nardini Gang is a group of anarchists that was active in during the bashback era of the queer liberation movement.

The bashback era really started around about 2008.

It ended unofficially round about 2012.

There was an official movement during that time period They have tried to do upstarts of the bashback movement over the last several years.

So I do think eventually we are going to see the resurgence of the bashback movement just because there have been multiple instances in the last several years where we've seen bashback propaganda show up.

We've seen more bashback writing show up.

We've seen groups basically saying they're carrying on the lineage of the bashback movement.

If you've never heard of the bashback movement, that's because Andy Ngo is a fuck-off retard that lies to his audience all the time about this.

And by the way, Andy Ngo didn't even know about the bashback movement until I fucking told him about it.

If you want to understand what the Bashback Movement was, this is a document that we have read before and we will inevitably take a look at again.

I will put the link to this in the chat if you guys want to check this out.

This is the full PDF of a book.

that the left literally wrote about the bash back movement called Queer Ultraviolence.

This is an anthology of bash back activism between the years of 2008 to around about 2012 And what's cool about this is they actually give us all the communications that they were sending out during that time period.
