Not trolling: how do you reconcile being anti-state (maybe even claims of being anarchist?) and posting things like ACAB with this sense of going to the authorities? If you are in contact with ppl close to him, why not suggest radical solutions to this mental health crisis?

Anarchism is a principle of undoing state structures and state dependencies. Wanting to undo them isn’t the same as being able to undo them right now. We live in an imperfect system and sometimes we have to use it as the least worst option.

The more radical options have been tried. This has been a months-long process. Unfortunately, other interventions don’t have the access without also depending on the police. That needs to change, but it’s not going to change *right now*

As much as we all hate ubiquitous state surveillance, if you're aware of all this and tweeting about it, I'm sure the govt is monitoring it as well The question is: do they even give a shit?

But thank you for your genuine concern over the situation

Maybe there's some kind of crisis hotline you could call and ask for advice? Like a suicide hotline or mental health support group or something? People who have experience with potentially dangerous situations, who are more likely to help de-escalate?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
