Against Smartphones, Social Media, and the Tech Dystopia: A Provocation and Discussion on Shifting Culture in Anarchist and Black Radical Spaces Away from Digital Technology

  • Making Worlds Bookstore & Social Center 210 South 45th Street Philadelphia, PA, 19104 United States (map)

This is a presentation based discussion about the necessity of radical circles to move away from digital technology in our current political moment. We argue that social media, cell phones and digital technology play an active role in harming our movements and capacities for resistance. Digital technology surveils us, de-skills us, and inhibits our social abilities. Furthermore, these technologies are controlled and developed by fascist enemies of Silicon Valley. Our discussion will focus upon ways to divest from social media, personal devices and digital technologies to create new forms of comradeship away from the gaze of the State and tech over-lords. There will be a brief presentation then a discussion about the topic.
