If there's a human or group of humans attempting to assert their will upon other beings, they are attempting to create a rule system. Civilization only came about 12k years ago. Humanity evolved sustainably through mass extinction events by living by the principles of true anarchy. Civilization itself is a cancer upon the planet that concentrates power in the hands of psychopaths. It's so out of the norm of Nature that I wonder whether there was alien or demonic influence involved in its adoption.
If you can't see that I'm right, it's because you're either uninformed or ignorant. You have now been informed. It's up to you whether or not you want to be ignorant.
Check out lectures from Derrick Jensen, John Zerzan, Christopher Ryan, Arthur Haines, Daniel Vitalis, Daniel Quinn. Maybe try living ethically and sustainably for bit and observing civilization from the outside.
You are here reaping the rewards of civilization and the accumulation of capital, yet you have the hubris to critique the very system while benefiting from it.
Yours is the dangerous ideology. The Luddite position has been shown to be false every time a Chicken Little pops up and every time we advance in both health and resources.
The sky is not falling, and if you change your head, you will realize who the problem is.
Most of all, it is not anarchic anymore by definition. So my point stands. Civilization and anarchy are not mutually exclusive.
I wasn't there, so I refrain from making such statements as if they were fact.
I disagree with the continued abuse of such broad brushes. Having a toilet, a computer, a roof over my head is civilization to me, and I do not consider these things "cancerous" or a means of concentrating wealth per se.
This gives us a clear idea how well your take on "true anarchy" is going to work. Let me explain to you my anarchy: the first time you pull this stunt, I kindly beg you to refrain from this sort of needless insult. The second time I demand. The third time I will warn you of the consequences. This is the first time, so pretty please don't insult me.
To be clear: you are trying to assert your will here. You are abusing the power of language you've been given; and exert verbal violence. Practice what you preach if you don't want to be considered a psychopath yourself.
No, I have been subjected to the attempt of talking down to me.
Yes, I will watch these lectures just as you watched yours: from outside civilization, without electricity and laptop, all naked and free out in the wilderness of nature's "true" anarchy.
There's no reply button on your post.
You don't know what civilization is.
It's clear that you've never studied anthropology, history, or psychology. I have, extensively.
Ignorant isn't an insult. It means that you're choosing to ignore information.
I'm not talking down to you, I'm just speaking the blatant truth.
Your little threats mean nothing to me. If you can't handle receiving new information or someone disagreeing with you, you might want to keep your ignorant/uninformed opinions off of the internet.
I never said all tech was bad. In fact, I believe that the only way our devolved species can become nomadic again is by using diy green tech build from recycled, natural, or scavenged materials.
I know what I know and live it. You live in a way that creates death, suffering, and environmental destruction all around the world. You're lucky I'm a pacifist and don't yet feel the need to defend Nature and myself from your destructive culture by using violence.
And last, welcome to my mute list. Have fun with the collapse! :)
