Let me talk Anarchism

Okay, let me quickly talk about it, because I am so annoyed with this. For once in the way how it relates to Solarpunk, but also in relation to media. And yeah, choosing good old Hobie here, because while it was kinda played for humor with him a lot, he was one of the few characters in media I have seen, that are actually kinda a positive representation of anarchism.

You know, media in general misrepresents anarchism all the time. Sometimes for propaganda purposes, and sometimes because the creator does not know any better and has grown up with said propaganda themselves and just believe it. Most of the time, media hence represents Anarchism as "Society without rules!", which is most certainly not what anarchism is.

The word Anarchism comes from the Greek An Arkhos, which translates into "Without Rulers". That is exactly what Anarchism means. Anarchism is a political philosophy that aims to get rid of all unjustified, involuntary hierarchies.

This is, by the way, why Anarcho Capitalism might use the word, but can never be anarchist, because capitalism aims to build unjustifiable hierarchies. It is exactly the goal of the system. So Anarcho Capitalism is a contradiction in itself.

An anarchist society will still have rules. We know that, because there have actually been societies in history, that today we would call anarchist. It is just that instead of a sort of some group of people ruling over everyone else deciding on those rules, everyone would get to have their say in it. That is, why those historical examples of anarchism for the most part have sprung up in smaller, close-nit societies, because before the age of the internet it would've been rather hard to make everyone's voice heard.

If you are wondering: "But isn't democracy already doing that?" The answer is no. Because democracy is not working, due to the politicians having all the power and the populus not being able to force them to stick to whatever they promised during the election. We cannot recall politicians, who have lied to us. So for the most part, it is the people with big money, who influence the politics. People, who were not even elected, but who the politicians will try to please more than the average joe, who has voted for them. 

It is another reason, why a lot of anarchists are against the police. Not only do they use police violence, but they are in a position, where they are allowed to use it against people, often without much reprecussions. And all of that, without the people having any say in who does and does not get to be a police(wo)man. It is another unjustified hierarchy.

And, yes, it is also why anarchists tend to be against the concept of nation states. Because internationally some states rule over others. Colonialism might've ended on paper, but it has not ended in practice. The reason some nations are poor, while others are rich, is that the poor nations get exploited by rich nations. An unjustified hierarchy. And that is without starting on the fact how many borders have been drawn by people, who had no right to do so.

On the small scale, though, anarchism first and foremost is about helping people. Mutual aid is one of the core principles of the anarchist movement. Helping people, who got left behind by the unjustified state and the people who are in power. It is also about empowering people and allowing them to find their own voice.

See, here is the fact: One of the core believes in anarchy is, that people are actually not terrible. If the state stopped existing tomorrow, people would not run around, murder and pillage. They would still help one another. We have seen this time and time again when through war or natural catastrophies systems of power have failed. People help each other. Because we are actually a pretty social species.

This is also why I absolutely loathe the depiction we see in a lot of media. Most of all in Legend of Korra. Where not only the Red Lotus, as an anarchist group, does not do jack shit in terms of mutual aid and things like that... We also see basically the Earth Kingdom go to ruins and violence within minutes of the Earth Queen having been killed. Like, no, that is not how people would react in that situation. There would not be instant riots or some shit. Jesus. What made them think that?

And yes, sure. Some anarchists might riot on the streets, because they riot AGAINST the unjust system. But always remember: Usually, when there is police violence for example against a protest, it is your friendly neighborhood anarchist, who will be willing to put themselves between you and the police.

A large problem is that most people have no concept of size. They think 150k is close to or on par with the people in the billions. It’s not

There have been several theories put forward as to why there is such a high concentration of strange disappearances in the Appalachian mountains.

Those theories include ones born of extreme classism such as wild men, cannibals or cults. The more esoteric ones are tolerable, theories such as Sasquatch activity, alien abduction, Not Deer related activity or strange cosmic shifts in time and space.

As an Appalachian person, I personally think it’s because the caves are eating people.

Now hear me out, that sounds wild but really stop and think about it. When no one is around, who is to say that caves don’t come alive and start sucking people in? Think about how many sets of remains with archeological significance have been found in caves worldwide? You could say that it’s because evolutionarily modern humans and our ancestors occupied caves for hundreds of thousands of years. You could say it’s because they’re perfect dark tombs to bury our dead in or to crawl in when your injured and need shelter. Or you could say the caves eat people and have been doing that since the beginning of time. That’s what I choose to believe and that’s why I don’t go near them. Artificial caverns like mines are more mouths for the earth to feed with and that’s why I don’t go near them either. I’m imploring you to watch your back whenever you’re near a known cave and don’t venture into limestone cave country alone.

We put steel bars over the mouths of caves here in western Virginia, you may be tempted to believe this is to keep people from vandalizing the inside, disturbing endangered bat species or wandering in and getting lost. That’s not true. I know it is a muzzle for the cave. One of those Hannibal Lecter face cages to keep it from eating you. Watch out. I’m warning you. They’re lying to you.

So many people do not understand the relationship between climate change and cold weather.
