Hey folks, time for the weekly monthly whenever I can remember check-in. How are we feeling? Read anything good lately? How's the weather?
Been thinking about anarchism as realized in rural areas versus anarchism as realized in urban areas. I've always thought that anarchism is more realistically achievable in the short-term in rural areas - they have a higher degree of independence from authority, and oftentimes there's greater per capita involvement in social structures that could (and sometimes already do) perform most of the work formerly performed by the state.
I'd love to see an anarchist municipality realized, and I'm a shameless :LIB: ertarian municipalism apologist, but I just don't think that it would be as easy to implement the same kind of social structures that exist in rural areas. Is this a bad take? Thoughts?
Edit cause I fucked up the emote oh shit oh fuck
It's easy to give up when you go through what we do. I cant do anything in my profession anymore because my references collectively ghosted me.
Do you have people in your life whom you still have friendly and "balanced" contact with after 5+ years of knowing them?
Most of my contacts decided to follow me around and harass me in one fell swoop. There were a few that reached out, but they just ended up gaslighting me. I'm sure they'd pretend like nothing happened if I were to shoot them a text right now.
