We all have our differences and my thoughts or what I post is in no way a conclusive representation - I am constantly evolving intellectual and spiritually, and we may not agree on what we have contributed to the effort of revolt, protest or to the anti industrial civilization effort, it is my desire for a free-living existence that inspires me to compile writings as an article for tactical analysis and expression of thoughts. My online activity is not for the recruitment of individuals to any “cause” or “movement” but is intended as a platform for the dissemination amongst conscious individuals who are already in pursuit of freedom and have become engaged in a battle with the existent order and its dying society.
I am not interested in debate, I am extremely selective with whom I discuss these matters with. Thank you for reading.
I can understand how my ideas may seem ascetic. The goal sometimes seems ascetic because it’s a self-discovery that makes me want nothing, need nothing, have nothing, seek nothing, and yet have everything. This can happen at any moment, while engaging in any activity.
Renouncement stirs the spirit every moment of my existence. When such a thing flowers, a deep contentment arises that leads me to asceticism. Not for any moral reason but just because the simplicity is comfortable. Asceticism itself does not lead to the goal. Even that must be dropped. Then and only then will I be filled and then free.
In order for Europe to do what it has done to us—in fact, for Europe to become “Europe” at all—it first had to do the same thing to all of you. In other words, to become a colonizing culture, Europe had to first colonize itself. To the extent that this is true, I find it fair to say that if our struggle must be explicitly anticolonial…yours must be even more so. You have, after all, been colonized for far longer than we, and therefore much more completely. In fact, your colonization has by now been consolidated to such an extent that….you no longer even see yourselves as having been colonized. The result is that you’ve become self-colonizing, conditioned to be so self-identified with your own oppression that you’ve lost your ability to see it for what it is, much less to resist it in any coherent way.
Ward Churchill
“I see and admire your manner of living, your good warm houses; your extensive animal agriculture, your fields of monoculture, your gardens, your cows, oxen, workhouses, wagons, and a thousand machines, that I know not the use of. I see that you are able to cloth yourself, even from your industries. In short you can almost do what you choose. you whites possess the power of subduing almost every animal to your use. you are surrounded by slaves. Everything about you is in chains and you are slaves your selves. I fear if I should exchange my pursuits for yours I too should become a slave”.
Capitalist Pig, Bitch, Mad Cow, Yellow Chicken, Rezdog... No one of our relations is left safe from those insulting expressions which impregnates us so deeply that usually we let them out to despite ourselves. This vocabulary is not only scornful toward the animals but also it is unjust: the cows are mad only since they were forced feed with residual meat powder instead of their traditional vegetarian menu, the chicken are courageously facing their sad existences, a pig is dirty only if his concentration camp is not well-washed, and if a Rezdog claims to have a frenetic sexual activity, he would only be productive twice a year in the dogs true matriarchal society in which a bitch is not a prostitute but a caring mother. This disrespect is significant: it is through the linguistic gathering that we conceive our thought, that we extract a sense from it, then a conscience, that moreover we pretend to be a human essence. What we call our language is the reveller of the out-look build on the creation and from the position that the human being imagine to take up in her name. So be it, to speak about environment instead of invoking the nature shows how the anthropocentric materialism dominates our actual system of thinking: the environment is not much than a pre-text surrounding this God in which the being recognizes his ego; he is no more the nature, this lost animist bliss, forgotten into the incarnate worlds reign. Following the religions that have already separated us from the life by conferring to the creation a divine status, the science teaches us to see in it as an escapee from the chaos mechanic, and governed by disincarnated laws. From now on we are ignoring the language of the nature or we only know it from diverse translation, religious or mechanical. But our explanations are false because the beauty is exiled. The one who loves the nature perceives a manifest form of solitude- her solitude- that lonely among the poets and the animals, may be, understand yet - The animal condition is the silent testimony of all that we have lost on our way: we who pretend to be human will only be relieved when contemplating with dread the whys and the wherefores, the nature has been abducted from the lands of our spirits
