Like punk created its own culture of people doing everything themselves to make it happen. It's where I got radicalized too. And they were like, it was anarchist, right? It was like explicitly anarchist and you were living in an anarchist way and like creating things in an anarchist way. And it was this whole other world.

So like if we put our anarchist energy into culture, it's part of making a world that we want to live in you know, over and against this world, this hell world that we're also trying to destroy at the same time. So I think we shouldn't kind of just like dismiss this as, as less important than, than the other kinds of actions that we can take. Yeah.

I think if I can build off this too, and I'm going to try to do some tying together of things, but one of the ways that I think about my contribution is to think about, don't look there, let's look over here. And that can mean multiple things, which is often when people think politically, they're looking at these big things.

moments or big actions or like top down solutions, which means that we take our attention away from these other places where we're doing all this stuff. Like, like Carla was saying, like we're already doing a lot of, of important kind of like life making work. And then also there's moments in our movements where we have to,

be like you all look over here while we do stuff over here right like you you don't want to be seen all the time so we have to be able to direct our attention to the things that we do and then also keep some of that stuff under wraps and that means it's hard sometimes to see and because it's so decentralized and anarchism really functions through decentralization like we we're not always aware of how much power we actually have and what's going on uh at any one moment

And going back to the kind of moments, even tracing back to, you know, the battle of Seattle. And I think it's like ever more present today in all of the kinds of organizing for street actions that are being done, that a lot of the groundwork for any of these moments is done by anarchists. And then it's not either claimed by anarchists or it's stolen from anarchists. Like,

like we make everything sort of run and anarchism makes everything run. And then it just gets ignored because it's not about taking credit. It's not about kind of imposing itself. And so I think like that kind of in between of, um, Seeing what we're doing and sharing that knowledge and then keeping under wraps so that we can keep chugging along.
