I’m too old to wait for the rest of my country to come to its goddamn senses.

I think I'm slowly becoming an anarchist because of this.

Companies won't save us.

The government won't save us.

501(c)(3)s won't save us.

We have to save us.

There are things you can do to perform everyday anarchy. Create communities with your book club, then create welfare by leveraging said book club to create a mutual fund, or a food bank, or god help us a militia (look up operation blazing sword for training bipoc and LGBTQ folks in firearms and self defense).

Don't wait for someone to give you permission to survive. Sic semper tyranus.

Glad to hear it. Read Graeber and Bookchin. And just… read. It’s good for you.
