Quite a number of people seem to forget or (intentionally?) omit that the ever increasingly cited argument for consent as a felt sense was written by a pair of people (like myself) who advocate immediate—not gradual—prison abolition. Not to mention the whole “we’re anarchists” thing, having explicitly said we have no interest in advocating a […]
