TOTW: Dinner and a Movie

netflix and anarchy!

After some years thinking about this, it seems to me like most people enjoy dinner. I’ve also discovered that a lot of them tend to like pictures that move …moving pictures, “movies.” The social sciences suggest that human beings have been doing something like the two things together for a while. Creating and consuming food while creating and consuming passive entertainment. 

The Latest Witch Hunt

from Scarlet Imprint by Peter Grey

Social media is designed to manufacture the three cons: conflict, conformity and consumption. The sheer level of toxicity has led the silent majority to abandon platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, leaving them largely to the purveyors of outrage who align most perfectly with the three cons.

The requirement for conformity has produced an absolutely chilling effect on free speech and the imposition of a rigid binary. That kind of black and white thinking is anathema to the practice of magic and witchcraft. It is the new puritanism, to which I reply non serviam.

Egoism, Morality, and Anarchism Under Complexity

from Center for a Stateless Society by Andrew Kemle

Jason Lee Byas has already articulated what I think is an interesting (and effective) challenge to Max Stirner’s critique of morality, as well as come to a conclusion that I very much endorse: namely, that self-interest and caring for the well-being of others need not be separate concerns.

Consent

from nudism as an illegalism

In recent years, I have been disappointed to see many anarchists take a categorically anti-nudity position with respect to a very broad variety of situations and settings. This has often been as an extension of their “sexual politics” – an imperfect term, to be sure, but which I mean the sum of their ideas about sexuality, which are often (not always) received ideas, i.e. dogma or ideology.

Enemies of Society, Drawing First Blood

From Immediatism.com

This essay, Drawing First Blood, by Meme, Myself, & I, is the preamble to Enemies of Society: an Anthology of Individualist & Egoist Thought. It is both a broad overview of individualist and egoist thought as well as a deep look at the criticism of these and responses to those criticisms.

Society is walls that cannot be broken

The antisocial madness is spreading within and beyond the walls of society.

This insanity is still our best bet. Let’s understand it very clearly… anarchy ain’t something to make a normal person out of you. Perhaps not even a “sane” person. And much less likely a social winner. You CAN WIN at anarchy but it’s hardly a social win.
