“The first man who, after enclosing a piece of ground, took it into his head to say, “This is mine,” and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, how many wars, how many murders, how many misfortunes and horrors would that man have saved the species, who pulling up stakes or filling up the ditches, should have cried to his fellows, “Beware of listening to this impostor. You are lost if you forget that the fruits of the Earth belong to us all, and the Earth itself, to nobody.” —

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (via cwnl)

But if that man never did someone else surely would have. It’s not that simple anyway, territory is in evolutionary history. As we all should know by now, chimps kill other tribes for land and females. There was no bad seed that started it all.

“[Anti-statism] is primarily concerned with forms of practice; it insists, before anything else, that one’s means must be consonant with one’s ends; one cannot create freedom through authoritarian means; in fact, as much as possible, one must oneself, in one’s relations with one’s friends and allies, embody the society one wishes to create.” —David Graeber.

“People who do not love themselves can adore others, because adoration is making someone else big and ourselves small. They can desire others, because desire comes out of a sense of inner incompleteness, which demands to be filled. But they can not love others, because love is an affirmation of the living growing being in all of us. If you don’t have it, you can’t give it.” —Andrew Matthews (submitted by Sandelina)

I just started looking at your tumblr, first because I appreciate your URL, but I agree with some of the stuff I read. Good job on the things you quit in 2011!

Thanks! I like you name as well.

3017 posts liked, probably 1/5 I've actually read. No doubt some great secrets are hidden in there. But I collect more than I can ever consume.

I abandoned my DA page years ago. I revisited it today to delete some info, and noticed the first friend I ever made there wished me well two months ago. Very much appreciated.
