south salish sea anti-civ, nihilist, queer anarchy
“The anarcho-nihilist position is essentially that we are fucked.1 That the current
manifestation of human society (civilization, leviathan, industrial society, global
capitalism, whatever) is beyond salvation, and so our response to it should be one
of unmitigated hostility. There are no demands to be made, no utopic visions to be
upheld, no political programs to be followed — the path of resistance is one of pure
negation”
“This world is ending. No global revolution is coming to save us. What worlds emerge is dependent on the particular trajectories the collapse will traverse in each region. Empire will survive in places where workers still prioritize the needs of the techo-industrial economy – be it capitalist of communist – over the needs of the world they inhabit.
Elsewhere, anarchy spreads like cracks in concrete. Anarchy, not anarchism. A diverse, decentralized mosaic of struggles for autonomy.
Until the land beneath the ruins of the colonial order is reclaimed by a life beyond Leviathan.”
“I wonder if without social law and order people would be encouraged to re-
engage with their senses and survival instincts – to discover a self-love so vivid
in the ecstasy of embracing one’s self as worthy of violent self-defense. In a
dangerous space, there would be no victims – only independent individuals in
full ownership of their lives, each peacefully existing with a mutual
understanding of assured consequences”
“In order for us to keep each other safe we must be ready,
willing, and able to defend our communities and bring the
fight to them where ever they may be.”
“A de-arrest, aka an unarrest, is the act of freeing someone who has been seized by Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs).”
“The ally industrial complex has been established by activists whose careers depend on the ‘issues’ they work to address. These nonprofit capitalists advance their careers off the struggles they ostensibly support. They often work in the guise of ‘grassroots’ or ‘community-based’ and are not necessarily tied to any organization.”
“We proceeded, despite the end of the world, seeking joy everywhere we could. Our communiques took the ruins for granted and we insisted upon dancing amid them. Sex parties, dance parties, street parties, reading parties – partying emerged as a central form in that frenzied moment. Our later inquiries into the sacred nature of the revel – into the bacchanals and nighttime sabbats – revealed an intrinsic relationship between partying and the world-making arts. In our parties, we opened onto connection with each other, onto other realms and other gestures.”
