Just One Man, or Throw Yourself Upon the Machine
There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to…

Nobody’s Coming to Save Us
I suppose this title is the closest thing a blog can get to clickbait, but it is true. One of the core ideas of mutual aid, to me, is to establish self reliance in a community to provide for itself when the state is unable or unwilling to do so. If we can’t trust the…

From Shapeless Mass
I’m starting this blog for two main reasons: the first is to have a place to put my thoughts on political strategy, current events, and things like that without needing to have my name attached to it. The second reason is that I want to help share knowledge, spread information, and otherwise work to prepare…
