In fits of madness, they recreate the world in their own overblown image, bull-dozing the wild and replacing it with a wasteland that reflects their own emptiness. Where there was once the incredibly complex diversity of nature, there is now the dead simplicity of asphalt and concrete.","author":"Curious George Brigade","tags":["anarchism","anarchy","asphalt","concrete","crimethinc","delusions","dinosaurs","emptiness","madness","nature","poltics","reality","wasteland"],"id":6294,"author_id":"Curious+George+Brigade"},{"text":"The voices of actual communities are alive in a way no theory could every be even if, for now, it takes the form of tiny acts of resistance. Who doesn't cheat on taxes, avoid cops, or skip class? These acts themselves may not be revolutionary, but they begin to unravel the control from above. Anarchist approaches must be relevant to everyday experiences and flexible enough to address struggles in different situations and contexts. If we can achieve this, then we may thrive in the world after the dinosaurs. We might even be fortunate enough to be in one of the communities that have a hand in toppling them.","author":"Curious George Brigade","tags":["anarchism","anarchy","cops","crimethinc","dinosaurs","resistance","revolution","taxes","theory"],"id":9289,"author_id":"Curious+George+Brigade"},{"text":"I check every can of Barbasol I buy for dinosaur embryos.

And if they do disregard this rule, under no circumstances should they draw official in-world attention while doing so. In fact, we wish to remind all Librarians that they are here to collect books, not dinosaurs.
