So the law did what it does and took the rights away from millions in the matter of a day. People showed up in the streets to protest but all theyre doin is beggin the government to give em their rights back. Dont they know thats not how this works? They can post as many instagram stories and hold as many candlelight vigils as they want but shit aint gonna change. A democrat tells me that what theyre doin is spreading awareness so that their guy can get in office and do the thing that gives us our rights back. Bull fucking shit! Their guys in office and let this slide! Im sure as hell not waitin 20 fuckin years for the incremental change to give us the right that was taken away from us in a single day. Whos to say they wont just take it back when their guys outta office? Isnt that what always happens? Well im not fucking havin it. No no no no. Tonights the night it changes. Tonights the night I throw a brick through a fuckin window!
A ballot won’t change the world, neither will a brick through a starbucks window. But whats the use waiting around for electoral change when we can bring that change into being immedtialey? I’m sick of believing the promises for a better future by our leaders and the progressive myth. This civilization is literally gonna kill us all unless we kill it. Y’all gen z nihilist bitches like to think that the world is doomed, well fuckin act like it!
You can demand food to be free and housing to be free all you damn want but you know, hell you even say it yourself, the rulers won’t ever grant that shit! Who the fuck would work for them if everyone was fed and housed? Who would let themselves be ruled if they weren’t afraid of being annihilated? Well guess what?? We don’t have to wait for Joe Biden to be “pushed left”. We don’t have to wait for that ~kinda~ socialist politician to get in power. We don’t even have to wait for the anarcho-communist global revolution! All ya need is the proper tools and some courage.
We needed food for the week. But being broke kids who believe that food should be free, we decided we weren’t payin for that shit. We walked into a grocery store, loaded our bags, n just walked right out the front door.
We needed a home for a homie and a space to plot our evil anarchist shenanigans. We searched around online and on our streets til we found a trash-filled abando with a nice view. We broke into that shit, cleaned it up, changed the locks, and bang! we had ourselves a space with zero dollars rent.
Here’s the idea: Nihilist Pragmatism. People tell us that were being idealistic and utopian when we say that our wellbeing should be for free and we shouldn’t have to work a fuckin minute of
our lives. We say its not unrealistic to say that we can make, say, food and housing free right here right now. Some of us shoplift. Some of us dumpster-dive. Some of us scam and some of us squat. When we decided we wanted to work less and have more fun, we just started takin the shit we needed and acting like it was ours to begin with. The pragmatism is in denying hope for a future. If theres no prospects for a better tommorow, why wouldn’t we just take what we need now?
You see, the only way we can escape our immiserated and controlled existence, the only way anyone has escaped this life of modern slavery, was by acting for themselves now. Freedom, anarchy, resistance, liberation, whatever, its all a lived experience, not some far away goal. By beginning now to arm our desires, we actively take back our lives from the adminstrators, the capitalists, the politicians, the police, and the fascists. We open up room for ourselves to experiment with our newfound autonomy. We get brave and we get fed. To hell with waiting.
But what about the masses!? They cry. Who will lift up the tired, the hungry, the poor?? Must we remind you that the only person who can liberate you is yourself! We have rejected the revolutionary subject being the working class. Who is that group of people anyways? It encompasses fascists, law-abiding citizens, informants, conservatives, the religious, the faithful TV-viewers, the social media addicted, and the happy consumers. You mean to tell me all these people have the same interest? Some of them want me dead and some of them don’t have the attention span to read this! To hell with the working class! We have realized the revolutionary subject as ourselves! We’re oppressed just like the rest of the population, the only difference is we won’t be complacent.
Does this mean we don’t care about anyone else but ourselves? Nah. The prescense of any oppression is a threat to us all. It’s just we aint gonna step into some community we ain’t never lived in and enanct some five step solution to liberation. And jeez, we’re tired of trying to spread our politics to our neighbors. The ones who fuck with us will find us and stick around, the ones who don’t, don’t. All we can hope for is that our actions spread by contagion and seduction, which damn they sure as fuck do. We know damn well we wouldn’t be doing what were doing if those rowdy peeps didn’t burn down that precinct or punch that nazi. And i know plenty of kids who wouldnt be out there spreadin anarchy if it wasn’t for them getting hot by my uncontrollable anarchist swag.
So no more of that campaignin shit, no more of that activist crap, no more of this self-help bullshit. I just wanna fight. I just wanna DESTROY! World is a fuck. Kill em all. Nihilist pragmatism FTW!
