Wisdom in Space<p>Today in America -- the child of European imperialism -- a new revolution is rising. It is the revolution of our time. It is the only revolution that involves radical, moral, and practical opposition to the spirit of nationalism. It is the only revolution that, to that opposition, joins culture, economic and technological power, and a total affirmation of liberty for all in the place of archaic prohibitions. It therefore offers the only escape for mankind today; the acceptance of technological civilization as a means and not as an end, and -- since we cannot be saved either by the destruction of civilization or by its continuation -- the development of the ability to reshape that civilization without annihilating it.<br> -- Jean-Francois Revel</p><p>⬆ <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wisdom</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Quotes</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/JeanFrancoisRevel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JeanFrancoisRevel</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civilization</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nationalism</span></a></p><p>⬇ <a href="https://c.im/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Panorama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Panorama</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sunset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sunset</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Florida" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Florida</span></a></p>

SPQR<p>Avoiding the United States is not just a matter of patriotic principle; it’s a matter of simple safety. Canadians were willing to risk American gun culture, and more. But this American government does not recognize fundamental rights, and you are no longer protected by the law if you set foot in that country.

Andreas Sternowski<p>What we need to understand if we want to keep our <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilization</span></a> is: We are not preventing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>change</span></a> because we are not acting. Many of us are trying our best, but it doesn't change anything. Why? Because a complex <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/social" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>social</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/system" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>system</span></a> always reproduces its behavior. That is a law of nature. The only way to fundamentally change such a system is to destroy it and create a new one. This has happened often enough in the history of mankind. It will also happen to our civilization.</p>
WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/jefferson-thomas/75972/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Jefferson</b></a></p><blockquote>If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.</blockquote><p><b>Thomas Jefferson</b> (1743-1826) American political philosopher, polymath, statesman, US President (1801-09)<br>Letter (1816-01-06) to Charles Yancey</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/jefferson-thomas/75972/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/jefferson-thomas/759…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilization</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>society</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=jefferson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jefferson</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=thomasjefferson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thomasjefferson</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=citizenry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>citizenry</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=freepress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freepress</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freedom</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=freedomofthepress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freedomofthepress</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>government</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=ignorance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ignorance</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=information" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>information</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=liberty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>liberty</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=literacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>literacy</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=power" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>power</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=property" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>property</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=tyranny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tyranny</span></a></p>

Uzi Bobuzi<p>There's been a pattern of me posting something critical of civilization and someone getting *really* mad and coming for me in replies. I was pondering this the past couple of days after the latest iteration of this phenomenon.</p><p>I came to the conclusion that the folks doing this are *terrified* and reacting like a wild creature that's backed into a corner. Lashing out in anger as a form of defense against the possibility that the Leviathan they've been embedded in since birth is actually a force for their destruction wrapped in a shiny package.</p><p>I was discussing this with my eldest, a very perceptive spawn of mine and he said it's existential dread on the level of eldritch horror. I can't say he's wrong.</p><p>The problem is, how can we have a discussion about this with people in feral wounded animal mode? It's one of the reasons I've come to the conclusion that we're not going to be able to walk away like the inmates of prior civilizations were able to do. We're going to have to ride the falling giant to its inevitable end and forage off its rotting corpse in the aftermath. </p><p>This makes me really melancholy. But then I remember back to when I was assimilating all the anti-civ stuff I was reading about a decade and a half ago, and how it made me feel like I was losing it for a while until I found a balance in my head, and I guess I can't fault folks for reacting like this. I've long lived on the knife edge of paradox of various kinds and am no stranger to navigating the cognitive dissonance that occurs while figuring out how to fit it into my worldview. Most folks just aren't, and can't, and we'll just have to sink or swim when the time comes.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civilization</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EndCiv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndCiv</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apathy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apathy</span></a></p>
Uzi Bobuzi<p>There is no such thing as a "peaceful" civilization. Civilization is *always* built on oppression, theft, genocide (whether human or non-human). Rule of law is always at the threat of having a gun pointed in your face. People need to quit thinking civilization is some kind of benign state that keeps a peaceful world. </p><p>I hate to bring up everybody's hated FBI snitch and transphobe but this film (despite the messenger) made by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@franklinlopez" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>franklinlopez</span></a></span> covering Derrick Jensen's anti-civ thoughts, is still apt. Ignore the messenger and take in the message.</p><p>I say it again in all-caps in case it didn't sink in: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PEACEFUL CIVILIZATION</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civilization</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oppression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EndCiv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndCiv</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r3ZPrVsUYw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=3r3ZPrVsUY</span><span class="invisible">w</span></a></p>
