Autonomous Zones and the Weird Rise of Authoritarian Anarchism From Hakim Bey’s Temporary Autonomous Zones to today’s crypto-libertarian strongmen, decentralisation has morphed into a volatile mix of deregulation, police power and anti-democratic ambition.

The splitting off of counterculture into identity tribes generated a different set of intentions. If you were trying to stop a war or overthrow Richard Nixon’ Amerika, your cry was “join us!” But if you were only trying to maintain a semi-original identity,

TEXAS- get out and vote if you haven’t already.

As War Erupts, Tennis Is Grounded in a New Reality As war breaks out in the Middle East within range of the tennis tour, a new normal for this global sport is undeniable.
