Transcripts
Out of principle, the Antidote Writers Collective prepares all transcripts by hand. No love for AI here. Attentive and conscientious humans still do better work.
Additionally, this is labor we are willing to do upon request or suggestion, with adequate compensation: we’re an unfunded project so we can be coaxed into selling our labor for money. But! if we like the material we’re transcribing we also accept permission to post as fair reward.

From Saraqeb to Raqqa
The mood is that ISIS is so evil that anything is a justified response to it. People don’t know the history of Raqqa and what happened there over the last few years. They don’t know there are human beings living there.

It’s In Us Already
We can become the people that we really are. We can restore order to the land that way. What I’m telling is a restoration story. If we can marry it with a new way of doing politics, we will become unstoppable.

Collective Imagination Against Capital Domination
The fight is about creating alternative institutions, alternative forms of care, radical alternatives that cut across the differences of race, class, and gender that have been imposed upon us by our masters.

Survival through Solidarity
We have a relatively short window to ensure survival. We’re going to do it through solidarity with one another and with all other life on the planet, not through an armed-lifeboat attempt to fight for survival by ourselves.
