Conversation with John Zerzan
Today is the Old calendar New Year, so I decided to end my series on War and Civilisation with hope. May this year be one of hope!

Why Hope?
It's all a shit show and there is no place like hope. Hope is a fantasy for the illusion-inclined. You keep on keeping on - to what end? Old Man Zerzan scribbles the same ol same ol and pretends to be a "green anarchist" (or is it "anarcho-primitivist") while using corporate/academic high tech (university radio, podcasting, etc.) and industrial publishing. All he does on his show is read other people's scribblings and comment on them, like a cranky old retired teacher in a senior center. You move to the other end of the building and play dominos with the cat. Better company. While Professor Malm scribbles about blowing up pipelines instead of doing it, the earth groans and species go extinct. Intellectuals are the bane of environmentalism, especially when they have a microphone or use X.
Why comment? It's all a shit
Why comment? It's all a shit show and there is no use in commenting. Commenting is a fantasy for the illusion-inclined. You keep on blabbing on - to what end? Old Man Stormson scribbles the same ol same ol and pretends to be an "anarchist" (or is it "nihilist") while using peepee poopoo.
So anon finally has fulfilled
So anon finally has fulfilled IGD and Crimethic's wettest dream: to end Anews commeting. You shall not discuss and spread anarchist ideas, events and actions online. These are meant for affinity groups of youngsters run by a disabled grandpa, who know each other for 3+ years but haven't done shit to build any anarchist society whatsoever, so that anarchy remains the temporary artefact of college kid wonders before they move up the social ladder. Thank you for your commitment, comrade!
