@carwinb – my point was that there were some people who were incredibly divisive. Thanks for showing the world I was right

@carwinb – sorry I was critical of your role but you know perfectly well I was at all GAs but 1 and worked my butt off constantly

@joepdx – sure let’s try to find an occasion. Things are crazy now but I’m hoping in a few months they’ll get a little more relaxed.

@ArshienAulryk – well I was interviewed on AJE but it was last week. Who was interviewing me?

@zunguzungu @chronicle – thanks for writing this – though who’s that asshole who said I was “there for a moment then split?” sigh

@Detlev_K @zunguzungu – as I keep saying, I was a bet one conduit of a wisdom I did NOT make up

@abubanda – yeah sorry – problem is on twitter there are some people who actually mean these things literally. Don’t know who’s who

@DougHenwood – sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Historically revolutions only happen when it doesn’t.

@megkrausch @chronicle – yeah it’s totally odd. Guy completely misunderstood what I said. Very frustrating

@akkhan81 @zunguzungu – I merely helped better connect young activists with older traditions they already knew about, ie, facilitation…

@DougHenwood – yup. But we’re not going to defeat the 101st Airborne militarily. Anarchists win when the troops refuse to shoot

@IlllllllllllllI – I’ve seen it widely bounced around in the French lit in the ’70s but don’t have sources handy

@DougHenwood – difference is we want to do reappropriate to resources with which to do it – hence the “occupation” element

@zunguzungu – they are silly. The Chronicle one was bizarre. I was at best an intergenerational conduit like many others

@revmagdalen @Adrianchen @ampedstatus – when I first suggested it to OWS in outreach meeting one person said “one group already did we= 98%”

Sun 16 Oct 2011 20:52

@revmagdalen @Adrianchen @ampedstatus – yeah I bet anything a lot of people coined it separately. It’s just kind of an obvious idea

@OccupyChicago – remember when being cuffed hold hands horizontal, not palm-to-palm, and then it’s pretty easy to slip out of them

@donnf – I’m kind of assuming that I wasn’t the only one who thought of the idea, but yeah, definitely my best branding idea to date

@DougHenwood – indeed, would be interesting to see if it’s starting to flip! would be a sign cap really is turning into “neo-feudalism”

@DougHenwood – interesting to know how much value is now extracted directly thru such means rather than indirectly thru wages
