@Tutanota An empty wish I'm afraid since "think of the kids" is an argument no one will ever go against.

Introductions TootI maintain an account on one or two other instances on Mastodon but none of them give me 11001 characters per toot. So that is why you can also find me here so that if I have something more substantial to say then I can. I am a queer human (in every sense of the term queer) of middle age and politically and ethically engaged. My politics I would describe variously as self-organisatory, pirate or anarchist. I write books about this, which I'm sure I will post links to, so if you want details about that then read those. I have no faith in governments, democracy or authorities of ANY kind to solve human problems and if you need to ask why, well, you haven't been paying much attention for the past few millennia have you?I like friendly people and will generally live and let live but there is a definite outsider or underdog vibe to me so I usually orientate myself more to people like that. I am not generally impressed with the mainstream and walk my own journey but fellow travellers are welcome to walk a mile or two with me if they are going that way. For the rest, well, let's see what happens.

"I find it hard to imagine how we could ever have "free societies" if we cannot even raise in ourselves the desire to be such people as think for themselves and create their own ethical values and relationships. The latter is a necessary and sufficient condition of the former."I write about this - and how we need to become guerrillas, pirates and anarchists possessed of an "anti-politics" - in my book GUERRILLA MIND.Authoritarian capitalism will only ever lock us in a prison as it kills everything. Are we - not them - really serious about change?You can read my book here:https://archive.org/details/guerrilla-mind#politics #books #writing #anarchy

Imagining / Queer / Anarchy is quite a philosophical and discursive book which discusses the importance of imagination and the mind to the act of living itself. What and how we live, in fact, are wholly dependent on what and how we think. This creates our world. This will be explored.This book, consequently, is also about "queer", what it is, what it means, what its consequences are. By means of a "queer apocalypse" set in "the Wasteland" (which is borrowed from the world of Mad Max and imagined as our own situation too) the question is asked how we should do what Max himself wanted to do: survive!The final section of the book resolves this question by pointing to anarchy - a green, queer, erotic anarchy of love and magic. It is then seen that this book is actually all about transforming ourselves into the things we need to become in order to survive in this wasteland with all its cruelties and is a work of political imagination within itself.https://archive.org/details/iqa_20250429#queer #green #anarchy #politics #ecology #love

This book is basically an anarchist 101 or manifesto but it takes the route of engaging in setting out anarchist analyses, principles and values by exampling the court speeches and associated writings of five anarchists who were condemned to death for their beliefs.If you want a grounding in anarchist ideas in straightforward English then this compact text is for you.#politics #anarchy https://archive.org/details/jolly-rogers-anarchist-values
