They told us the apocalypse would be a full panic at once, news organizations calling the end of society, cars abandoned in the streets, fire and looting and then endless stillness. All so we would not recognize it as it happens all around us every day. It is a much slower decay then they can let on, otherwise we'd recognize it. They told us revolution would look like burning flags and violence in the streets, that it would require us to our number them, that it would need to be maticiouslous planned or else it would fail. They did this so we wouldn't recognize it as it happens in the streets everyday. It's in illegal urban hens, and in neighbors coming together to fix their streets despite the cities lack of care of them, it's in garden swaps and farmers markets. It's in self made safe spaces for youth and down traughten, its in small acts of kindness bleeding its way though time. Revolution is in these mundane moments that pass by everyday, and they do not want you to recognize it as such. Because then we might go forward with demanding better instead of being paralized in the moment, that change is at our doorstep either way and because then revolution might be easier then we thought it was.

A common response to “you should and can break laws” is “so we should just rape/kill/steal from people’s homes????”. The answer to that ridiculous false equivalency is that no, we obviously shouldn’t, but I think it’s interesting that that is the first thing to jump into people’s heads when you suggest challenging and circumventing the legal system.

When Nature Calls
Fate back, this time with a reminder that sometimes letting nature its course is the way to go. Or at least, so I’ve been told at the Meddlers Anonymous group I’ve joined.
Fate,
A while back, I lost my job and my partner dumped me. I’m not blaming you for that, stuff happens and humans make their own choices, blah blah blah. 
I moved out of our shared apartment, put my stuff in storage, and decided to go away and think for a while. I’d never been to the northwest, so that’s where I headed. 
It was so gorgeous. The coasts, the forests, the mountains. I’d never been much for spirituality or religion, since my parents were doctors and my siblings and I all went to space camp as kids and the local science-focused magnet school as teens and then the degree and job in engineering, but that time period, when I got to SEE the breadth and depth of nature’s mysteries rather than mercilessly digging away at it to make it reveal its secrets? It really made me understand things on a whole new level.
I stayed out there as long as I could, then my savings ran out. I thought about staying out there, finding a job, finding a new place to live, finding another partner, etc., but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I couldn’t go back to how it had been before. Existing without really living. Knowing so much without understanding any of it. Being in the world but removed from it.
I started driving aimlessly. The low fuel warning came on in the car. I pulled off at the first gas station I saw. It was closed, but there was a sign: “Nature & Spirituality Workshop. All Are Welcome to Attend!” 
I was welcome. I was convinced as soon as I began talking with the other attendees that there really was no going back, that there is a higher power that is a benevolent force for good, that it is nature, and that I must dedicate my life to spreading its word. 
I refueled the next afternoon after my fellow devotees and I slept under the stars and the trees and fed off the land. I had calls to make, emails to send, uninitiated to initiate, systems to overthrow! 
Maybe I was a little too wrapped up in my new calling, but I swear that deer appeared out of nowhere. My parents paid for my plane ticket back home, and I’m stuck with them until my insurance company stops dragging its feet and pays enough for me to get a new car. The emails and calls go unanswered, it’s hard to initiate anyone to the wonders of nature when the only “nature” out here is crabgrass, and it’s harder still to organize an anarchist revolution when everyone surrounding you is comfortable with their sleepy suburban lives. 
Why did you have to let that deer wreck my entire life as well as the future of our world?
Apparently you decided that if you’re gonna embrace nature, you really gotta tackle it head-on.
Sometimes, some fool comes along who’s so brazenly earnest and devoted to their new god that their worship becomes a threat to everything surrounding them, including the ground they walk upon and the air they breathe. And the only thing to be done with all that destructive energy is allow them to detonate it in such a way that its effects are restricted to its source and maaaaaybeeee those in immediate striking distance of its vicinity, if you get my meaning. 
You understand, I’m sure, that I am only referring to those devoted fools of the four-legged variety, of course.

A.2.4 Are anarchists in favour of “absolute” liberty?
No. Anarchists do not believe that everyone should be able to “do whatever they like,” because some actions invariably involve the denial of the liberty of others.
For example, anarchists do not support the “freedom” to rape, to exploit, or to coerce others. Neither do we tolerate authority. On the contrary, since authority is a threat to liberty, equality, and solidarity (not to mention human dignity), anarchists recognise the need to resist and overthrow it.
The exercise of authority is not freedom. No one has a “right” to rule others. As Malatesta points out, anarchism supports “freedom for everybody … with the only limit of the equal freedom for others; which does not mean … that we recognise, and wish to respect, the ‘freedom’ to exploit, to oppress, to command, which is oppression and certainly not freedom.” [Errico Malatesta: His Life and Ideas, p. 53]
In a capitalist society, resistance to all forms of hierarchical authority is the mark of a free person — be it private (the boss) or public (the state). As Henry David Thoreau pointed out in his essay on “Civil Disobedience” (1847)
“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.”

What is there left to learn?
All you need to know of any good branch of leftism is that self determination and freedom is above everything.
We stand against so much because so much has been created to get in the way of that.
Money often gets in the way by imposing literal pay walls to basic needs so we oppose it. Racism gets in the way when racist gatekeepers prevent POC from receiving equal care, equal service, and equal access to resources so we oppose it. The same goes for all the other -isms and bigotries such as misogyny and homophobia.
Human beings come in all shapes, sizes, colors, sexualities, and genders. We are beautifully diverse this way, it's literally human nature.
And so we must learn to live and accept people different from ourselves.
Nobody has more rights or humanity than anyone else. Nobody has the right to enforce their own determinations and truths on anyone else. There is no singular way of being that is Right or makes you more deserving than the rest, that gives you the right to control others because it's just such a Good way of living. There never will be.
There is no natural way to determine what a good, deserving human looks like. And that's why leftism supports and hears all oppressed people.
Every single excuse and method that attempts to control/feel superior are all social constructs. Ex:
You're rich, fiscally responsible and think you're better than others? Money isn't natural, it's barely even real. It's something that some human made up one day to feel better than the others. It may as well be called pixie dust. And without it you're just like the rest of us.
Being White didn't mean anything before some human decided they could gain self esteem by reducing the perceived worthiness of Black and Brown ppl. Without made-up ideas of race you're just like the rest of us, made of the same hunger and thirst and love as we are.
Cis and Trans or Gay and straight are just different ways for humans to be born and exist. Some people like their bodies, some don't. Some people kiss the same sex, some dont. You aren't superior for being cis or only kissing one sex. You won't get a trophy for denying the kind of human you are or for making others feel bad about the kind of human they are either.
There is no natural test for superiority in humans because human superiority is unnatural. For any of us.
The only measure of being Better than others was how much better you were at being a community member; how much you contributed to the betterment of your peers. You didn't brag about being white, you bragged about how you killed so many deer that your people certainly will Not be starving.
We were born to share this planet and our only ACTUAL job is to take care of each other and the planet in whatever way we can. It's the only thing we've ever owed each other.
Racism, ableism, colonization, capitalism, white supremacy, genocide, Nazis, Zionists, etc.
These are not concepts that deserve to be kept alive. Anything that makes you hate someone else or makes you feel more Worthy than someone else has no place in the future.
I say all this because I feel like I'm beating a dead horse on this blog so often. I really do try to stay educational and focus on solidarity. But there's only so much that words can do without action.
And words without action are as good as dust in the wind.
I love this blog, but I'm long over this. We need to act. There is a genocide happening and I'm starting to believe that everyone who wants to stop it Already knows about it. They do not need awareness. They don't need voices. They need direction. They need community. They need support and bodies to help intimidate police.
They need us.
And instead I blog on Tumblr trying to rally people that hardly reblog a call to action.
This blog is starting to feel like a symptom of the system. A time-consuming distraction for me. And a way for you to placate yourselves while the world gets worse.
Just following leftists doesn't make you a good person. Having the Right opinions doesn't make you a good person. Even believing in equality doesn't make you a good person if you don't do something about it.
I'm tired of begging for people to organize and protest and show up for each other.
I'm convinced that if you ever had the intention of doing so then you already are. And if you're not then that's a choice you've made.
You either support genocide or you fight it, you know?
I don't know what else there is to learn or say. What are you waiting for? An invitation?
Please go fucking organize and join a protest.
In other news....I am getting closer to deleting this blog every day.
