Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

Theory:
It’s a personal project of mine but I want to write a short story called “At least I’m an elf.” people say fascists need to be mocked in media and that’s what the story will be about.
The unsympathetic villain protagonist will be an elf called Forsan and it will take place in a generic medieval fantasy setting. Forsan is a complete loser and hangs around his fellow losers who are also elves, they all look down on so-called “lesser races” like humans and gnomes and they think dwarves are in control of the world and keeping elves like them from their natural place on top. The elves will however be shown to at least enjoy themselves when not talking about their superiority, even if they’re among the least talented group in town. Forsan shields his ego with his catchphrase “at least I’m an elf!”
Eventually Forsan and his friends go in two different directions, his friends begin to grow up past elf supremacy and stop trolling non-elfs and reconnect with the world. They start making non-elf friends and one of them even has a dwarf girlfriend. They set out on quests and see the world and become well-fulfilled people in their own right. Forsan’s friends learn they have talents and skills they can bring to the table beyond simply being elves and even begin embodying more positive traits of their nerdier sides like their powerful magic. This makes Forsan jealous and he accuses his friends of betraying elf-kind.
Forsan just doubles down on elf snobbery and of course his ex-friends realize how wrong they were for ever being elf supremacists and realize they stopped being losers when they stopped hating everyone else. Foursan ends the story as the least popular person in town and is completely alone after alienating the few people who ever liked him, who he realizes are having so much fun without him. I try to play into one fear many on the right have: being unpopular. I also give an argument of a selfish motivation to abandon fascism, Forsan’s friends aren’t missing out on so many good experiences, friends, and ironically do their race more pride than Forsan can ever dream of. He just sits there no different than his strawmen of humans, he just wants everything handed to him on a silver platter.
I’m debating on how to end the story, either Forsan realizes all too late that no one likes him and for good reason, not even his ex-friends ever liked him they just thought they did because he was an elf or he joins the cause of the resident evil god solely to feel like a badass, and said god just laughs and smites him.
forsen like the streamer?
I wanted to make it sound like “4chan”, a site I imagine as the internet’s toxic friend.
Huh, coincidentally I was thinking today on how I may have been too harsh on Solas, but then I barely touched Dragon Age. I just felt sympathy for the elves in that game, given what humans were doing for generations.
I haven’t played Dragon Age so I ended up picking elves based off of their more common stereotype as being the snobbier of fantasy races while also not just being an ontologically evil race, but I’ll give it a look.
Basically I’m just writing to test out my ability to write fiction in any capacity. It’s just going to be a simple story on how chuds are their own worst enemy, not “the Jews” (or in this case, the dwarves.) and how chuds being obsessed about their place in the hierarchy will make them unpopular, even to lesser chuds like your garden variety conservatives. Without special treatment just for being an elf, Forsan is nothing and he knows that. It’s a double punch in the gut when the same CAN’T be said about his ex-friends.
