A Dirtbag Anarchist Hiker's Manifesto

Image
A time comes in everybody's life, or at least it should, when they seriously question everything that came before. This isn't that time. That time was like two years ago. Now is the time for doing. It's time for a personal manifesto. A Dirtbag Hiker's Manifesto The American Dream doesn't come in a single apple pie-flavored variety. Oh hell no! It's okay, nay, it's more than okay, to prefer something different. Perhaps something a bit more messier with a bit more grit. A bit of bitter, even, to make those sweet moments even sweeter. It's not purely an American Dream, either, but a human dream -- one which we are obligated to pursue if we are lucky enough to be born somewhere with the possibility. Let's embrace it, instead of fighting it. In doing so, we embrace our true selves. 1) I will walk softly on this earth. This means: Eating a primarily plant-based diet and maintaining my own body. Minimizing use of single-use plastics and pl...

Radical Homeschooling

I haven't talked much about my views on education here, in this space. It's odd really. I've raised two kids, after all. Now, thanks to the pandemic, it seems everyone is schooling at home (which, by the way, is completely different from homeschooling). We were/are radical homeschoolers.

And yes, these degrees are from actual colleges. The second kid would be a sophomore if he went to the local school. In truth, I couldn't tell you what grade level he is at. He could probably compete with any high school or community college graduate on even footing, and likely could do better than most. The hardest part about homeschooling is finding shit that isn't full of fake crap because of religion. It seems that if you are...

Accumulation and the Rules for Acquisition

Have I mentioned lately my great distaste for consumerism? No? Then you must not know me very well! I've been doing a bit of reading on economic systems this week (the things we do for "fun"). The rabbit trail has been interesting, but most sources seem to break things down into the three main systems: Capitalism, Communism, and Socialism. None of these satisfy me, but before I explain why let us look at some simple definitions of each of these major models: Capitalism: USA! USA! Wait, no? Okay. Yeah, capitalism is not just the economic model followed by the USA, it is also what 'patriots' carry AR-15s to protect AND it's the official state religion. The general definition is that the ownership and transfer of goods and services is privately controlled, not state controlled. In practice, the corporations become the government and the interests of the richest become the law of the land, thus everyone else is then controlled by the mass consumerism nece...
