Crimethinc has been good shit for many years now. No idea if it was arson or accidental, it is a tragedy nonetheless.

    They have been heavily targeted lately, this smells like fed shit. The fact this comes after they've been deplatformed from most social media just in the last few months is highly suspect.

      I was thinking chuds, considering the area. There's no way for us to know though. Crimethinc isn't the type of org to not put people on blast if they know who did it.

        Is there really a difference between chuds and feds at this point?

          I know you're joking, but it's probably still important to distinguish between them for now.

            You're not wrong, and actually that's something I am trying to articulate in the writing project I have been talking about. The feds infiltrate and manipulate these organizations not with the intent of dismantling them but in order to spur on acts of anti-left violence while keeping it at arms length. They also get to double dip if they decide to convict any of their patsies and maintain an appearance of impartiality to the uninformed ( see Alan Swinney ).

      The fact this comes after they’ve been deplatformed from most social media just in the last few months is highly suspect.

      what's the full story?
