Nihilist Pragmatism

So the law did what it does and took the rights away from millions in the matter of a day. People showed up in the streets to protest but all theyre doin is beggin the government to give em their rights back. Dont they know thats not how this works? They can post as many instagram stories and hold as many candlelight vigils as they want but shit aint gonna change. A democrat tells me that what theyre doin is spreading awareness so that their guy can get in office and do the thing that gives us our rights back. Bull fucking shit! Their guys in office and let this slide! Im sure as hell not waitin 20 fuckin years for the incremental change to give us the right that was taken away from us in a single day. Whos to say they wont just take it back when their guys outta office? Isnt that what always happens? Well im not fucking havin it. No no no no. Tonights the night it changes. Tonights the night I throw a brick through a fuckin window!

An Institution, A Person, A Spirit

From Surviving Leviathan with Peter Gelderloos

I realize how most of the people who have dedicated their lives to the building of an anarchist movement have disappointed me, some gravely, while the people who have brought an anarchist praxis to some aspect of real life and survival have inspired me the most. In the worst moments, they’ve even kept me alive.
