The only thing worth to mention here is that there are four constants in my life:
- I strongly reject violence, I'm a pacifist by principle
- postponement of judgement is more important then insisting on your right to have an opinion (a matter of being more familiar with your own measure than with the right measure)
- all persons are equal, and locally that should have consequences in a material way (perhaps that two-legged beast which thinks himself better than others is a bit less equal)
- I am against rules, so, although I am a decent and practical person and know that you need some basic agreements, I also am in principal an anarchist
(Put these ingredients in a melting-pot and the result is a vessel full of contradictions.)

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Zās work.
If this project resonates with you, you can learn more about it and find ways to support the work using the link below.
It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.
More than 100,000 people read Z every month, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. It takes fewer than 1 in 100 of them to fund all of it: 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone, and build what comes next.
