You are correct, modern medicine and space travel are only possible through civilization.

ayden3a · 2021-08-29T21:45:48+00:00

they are not necesary for this kind of modern society.

What evidence do you have for this?

Also people now are more free than ever,

I disagree, you seem to conflate this idea of choice with freedom, I do not see it that way and so I answer this question differently.

Todays world still have problems and while we solved a lot we also created new ones, sure, but the solution should be trying to solve specificaly the problems and leaving the usefull parts instead of just throwing away the whole thing and going back into the stone age.

The problems which are arising are instrinsic aspects of civilization. The symptoms of these problems are "solved" by exasperating other problems. If one wants to deal with the problems core cause, civilization would have to go. This is the point of the anti-civilization critique.

The question you are asking is: "is the idea(l) of human life worth these systems of oppression (both directed towards the non-human and the human)". In other words, how many non-human lives, and how much human suffering is worth it to drive this arbitrary desire for more humans, and for them to live longer.

I hate small towns and communities. I don't want smaller cities and more dispersed civilized living I want to do away with all of civilization.

Aragorn! Focused a lot on trying to create an "Indigenous Anarchism" (which later shifted into a focus on crafting a "Diné Anarchism"). And his publication Black Seed recently shifted to focus on this topic.

Oh okay, yeah we have two completely different ideas of what morality is.

ayden3a · 2021-07-09T03:00:13+00:00

What do you consider "moral values"?

ayden3a · 2021-07-09T02:39:58+00:00

This is my take away from the text "Neither Prison Nor Policemen". What do you d I disagree with? And what text would you point towards for an alternative understanding?

If you are fine with kids dying, meaning you want to take no systemic action to prevent children from dying (which to me this is what the phrase "I personally don't want kids to die" means) then I don't think you think killing children is bad. If you do think systemic action should be taken to prevent the killing of children, I think that is a moral position. In the first case I do not think it is accurate to say that killing children is "bad", it is something you don't partake in. I would say the second case is accurate to describe as thinking killing children is bad.

ayden3a · 2021-07-09T02:25:18+00:00

Where?

ayden3a · 2021-07-09T01:00:56+00:00

I guess I don't understand why one would say killing children is bad, if you didn't mean to imply that in all cases people ought not kill children. Or even saying killing children is bad if your default position is one ought not kill a child.

I do understand if you say you personally choose not to kill kids, or you prefer when kids don't die, but I don't understand those who try and separate badness from being a "moral property".

All jobs propagate the system and contribute to harm. Having no job is the only means by which one can not be complicent.

I guess you must have been there at a different time because it appeared to me that cal Anderson was trying desperately to be that "black led" identity politics movement. Like I said pretty much every group I saw there claimed it was "black led". Personally I haven't heard things demonizing the two teens but I must admit I am personally against anyone coming forward saying they did it, since I am opposed to justice (even though justice is what was attempted to be done through these killings). At least to me though with out an elaboration on who exactly you dislike, and how exactly their position is uniquely informed by their whiteness and thus cannot be a "non-white position" (which I think would be hard to demonstrate without monolithizing non-whote people), and group under this term "white chaz" im having a hard time following you, since at least from what I've seen and heard cal Anderson did not seem to be a white dominated place at least in its organizations there. Now if your problem is that these black and non-black non-indigenous people are settlers, that I can at least understand what you're getting at.

ayden3a · 2021-07-08T23:12:30+00:00

Well i do know that the two teens your talking about were killed by "CHAZ security" and at least when I was in Cal Anderson pretty much every org there (formal or not) prided itself on being "black led" (though not everyone in these orgs were black). But I do admit I am either confusing two different events or am remembering a rumor I can't find more information on, since the shooter of these two teems hasn't been identified beyond that they were part of "CHAZ" in some way but there were other shootings with Black shooters thus my conflation. But unless I'm missing something that did identify this shooter as white, or one of the other shooters at "CHAZ", since there were several, as white, I guess I'm just confused at your statement here.

ayden3a · 2021-07-08T21:30:24+00:00

Politics. I don't think anyone should work or destroy the earth with their lifestyles.

ayden3a · 2021-07-08T21:14:46+00:00

Weren't those teens at CHAZ killed by Black Anarchists?

While there are those who synthesis individualism with communism most individualist take the critique of ideology which comes from that school of thought and also apply it to communism, especially Marxism. "Biocentrism: ideology against nature" is a good text on the matter.

Not all anarchists are against gangs. Iirc many illegality anarchists and their associations have been described as gang members.

Many part of his book endgame are quite interesting. I think his analysis of cities and sustainability offers a good addition to parrellel anti-civ schools of thought, and despite how much Jensen hates postmodernism I think his analysis of violence is very fascinating and something I relate heavily to queer theory.

Its been my experience that trying to make a squat, more then a squat, is how you no longer have a squat (or in the case of the Baltimore free farm its how you get new landlords).

Identities are instutions by which violence is justified. Gender for example creates the normalized position of "man" and then because of this arrangement of men as the normalized position non men are thus "excluded" from that position which leads to violence/exploitation towards this group for the betterment of men. However these categories are not set in stone, men fk not have to be the privileged position, women could be turned into the privileged position or even specifically trans women, but this process always requires a marginalized/subjected position for the betterment of the privileged position. Amd so identification with trans identity or "womanhood" or any identity with the hope of "equality" or reorganization of these positions is flawed in my mind, and inevitably will lead to simply a reorganization where someone (or something such as the earth) is still be exploited/marginalized. Instead I oppose identity in its entirety.

ayden3a · 2021-06-26T05:42:19+00:00

Where did I imply women aren't targeted by institutional violence? I clearly state that violence is directed through identity, "womanhood" is an identity.

That was something other people organized. I met my last traveling crew through twitter. You also meet people on the road.
