You know Doctors Without Borders? Well, I was volunteering, and we were landing in Uganda when I thought I saw someone I knew…

“And the other one?”

Well, we got a bunch of fireworks…

Such a boomer meme.

Fancy bars are optional extravagances. Groceries are fuckin not.

lol sorry for suggesting you read something that could benefit you and your community. But if you want an elevator pitch, sure:

Anarchism is all about mutual aid. The system (yes, it’s a system. It’s not “anarchy is chaos” like you seem to be implying—and like the centuries-long conditioning has made people believe) runs on community, and rejects not order, but hierarchy. You are living proof that anarchism is possible and works. You aren’t waiting for a system to tell you that you need to donate to feed the poor, you’re feeding the hungry yourself. Food Not Bombs is anarchism.

In short, anarchy isn’t the absence of order, it’s the absence of hierarchy. It’s the existence of mutual aid, and relying on community to exist and thrive. Capitalism runs on hierarchy and insists that’s natural. Nature runs on need. Just like we could.

Read Anarchism and other essays by Emma Goldman, it’s a good introduction.

Well apparently you’ve never listened to Against Me! back in the day and in your early 20s having fun talking about anarchy you never read anything on the theory behind it.

You really should.

Because all of the things you described you and your wife doing are the cornerstones of anarchism. Literally the most basic building block. So you are seriously uninformed and you don’t realize how much you actually agree with anarchism.

I don’t get why people are making a big deal out of the intifada thing. Who gives a shit that he said it? These idiots wouldn’t have any problem if he said “we need to bring everyone around the world together to rise against oppression”

Right? It felt like the drug gods were smiling upon me—and these all happened in my 20s, when I was doing tons of drugs. Since I pretty much stopped beside the occasional wild night out/show once a year, I haven’t found anything! The ground drug gods smiled upon me often and with love and primo scores
