Today we lost Ted Kaczynski. It's not surprising, we all knew that day was around the corner, considering his diagnosis, but hearing about it still shook me a bit. He was certainly not a flawless person, but his uncompromising devotion to defending the wild against the system of civilisation will forever earn him my respect. We need more people of such powerful character, determination and wit. Rest in power, Uncle Ted 💚

"The history of anarcho-individualist veganism is practically unknown by the libertarian movement itself. In fact, when French anarchists began writing about environmentalism in the 1970's and veganism in the 1990's, no reference was made to their individualist predecessors of the first half of the 20th century...
...The first part of this article provides a synopsis of anarchism and its defense of the animal cause before looking at the naturian movement. The second part examines individualist anarchists' motives for adopting a plant-based diet, many of which, as we shall see, are just as topical as ever. The concluding remarks will highlight the fact that veganism allows us to better understand a vastly understudied strand of anarchism, namely individualism."

Whenever I go on a walk I am reminded that I am not welcomed anywhere. So many paths and roads are blocked off as private property, cars ignore that you have the right away on the road, and some places are built specifically to discourage people from hanging out nearby. No where is a truly walkable space, even the park can’t fully be trusted. It’s bullshit.

I wonder if leftists who glorify technology are aware of the ever-expanding alienation it creates – from the division of labor necessary in operating machines built to ravage the earth for materials, to the alienation technological devices create through the slow degradation of faceto-face interactions. It’s strange that those who believe strongly in unity would adhere so strongly to that which is designed to separate.

Something that eternally frustrates me about green anarchists/environmentalists/anticivs/whatever is their total refusal to accept that the global economy is, itself, a natural system. They'll bewail how unsustainable humanity is, and contrast this with a sustainable, "natural" system. But this is nature! This is how nature works. Given the right circumstances, any population will expand and extract resources to the point of environmental exhaustion. "Sustainability" is a myth. There's just process.
And what makes humans special is our ability to expand the carrying capacity of our environment, to allow for population expansion without environmental exhaustion. This is called "developing the means of production" and it's a good thing.
It's like how people talking about climate change will always say "now of course, humans are bad at dealing with large-scale problems that take a long time to develop." But, as far as we know, humans are literally the best things in the universe at dealing with those kinds of problems. White-tailed deer will just eat themselves into a population crash! We're literally the only things on the planet that can avoid that! Give us some fucking credit, you misanthropes.

In the last two years I'm more and more immersed in the topic of solarpunk and I think I'll stay there. It is the only future that makes sense.

Worse than Waco
What transpired between members of the Branch Davidians and federal law enforcement in Waco is one of those moments where the government showed its true colours, but there’s an an even worse case.
After prior years of harassment and abuse (including murder) at the hands of law enforcement. MOVE, a christian anarcho-primitivist communal organisation, was besieged by nearly five hundred police officers on 5/13/1985.
Arresting & detaining have been among the tactics pigs used to either destroy MOVE or chase them out of the city. The reasons were racism (most MOVE members were black), and the organisation's activism related to the injustices of the American "justice" system among other things.
MOVE was started by John Africa (pictured bellow), who came up with their philosophical underpinnings, but was not a leader in any traditional sense. These beliefs included a love for all life, state abolition, self defence, soberness, eating fresh raw food, and staying active.
On that day in 1985, neighbouring buildings were evacuated as an army of pigs showed up to arrest MOVE. Water and electricity was shut off. Police used more than ten thousand rounds of ammo before cops decided the compound be bombed (yes, literally). A helicopter dropped two bombs that caused a fire. The ensuing fire killed 11 of the 13 people in the house (John Africa, 5 other adults, and five children). Ramona Africa, the only adult survivor, said that police fired at those trying to escape. The fire destroyed over 60 other buildings.
In '96 a federal jury ordered the city to pay a $1.5 million civil suit judgment to survivor Ramona Africa and relatives of 2 people killed in the bombing. The city used excessive force and violated the members' constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure.
If you wish to learn more about MOVE, I recommend their booklet "25 years on the Move", available for free at Anarchist Library.
“All living beings, things that move, are equally important, whether they are human beings, dogs, birds, fish, trees, ants, weeds, rivers, wind or rain. To stay healthy and strong, life must have lean air, clean water and pure food. If deprived of these things, life will cycle to the next level, or as the system says, ‘die’.” - John Africa
