Anybody who ever lighted a fire without matches has probably gained some proper respect for “low” or “primitive” or “simple” technologies; anybody who ever lighted a fire with matches should have the wits to respect that notable hi-tech invention.

Rural Life, Marginal Life, Good Life (margaretkilljoy.substack.com)
submitted 12 hours ago by carlos@communick.news to c/anarchism@lemmy.ml

I love how seamlessly rural ties into, well, to quote the tagline of Foghorn Mag, the marginal life. I love how building bookshelves and plotting an outdoor kitchen for gatherings feels like a logical extension of when I used to couchsurf and hitchhike full-time.

Aujourd’hui, ce monde qu’on voulait changer, on dit, et on n’a pas tort, qu’il est surtout en marche, vers une forme de fascisme, ou plus précisément de techno-fascisme.

Dans les années 70, un des refrains préférés de la rhétorique gauchiste c’était la « fascisation du pouvoir ». Crier à la fascisation, c’était une des activités préférées, notamment, des maoïstes de la Gauche prolétarienne, qui voulaient rejouer la geste de la Résistance en se baptisant les « Nouveaux Partisans ». Ça a donné une fort belle chanson chantée par Dominique Grange. Mais l’imaginaire de la Résistance tel que la portaient cette chanson et le gauchisme en général, il faut bien reconnaître qu’il a été totalement impuissant, aussi bien à empêcher l’essor de l’extrême-droite, qu’à saisir les transformations du capitalisme, dans les formes du travail et dans les rapports sociaux en général, et donc cet imaginaire-là, hormis simplement comme leçon de courage, il n’a en aucune manière été un outil de lutte efficace.

Do What You Love (mikestone.me)

Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.

My dad used to say this to me. He didn’t come up with it of course. Searching for the source, I see attribution to Marc Anthony. How it came to be a 70-80 year old man was quoting a singer to me I’d bet money he’d never heard, I’ll never know. Maybe he didn’t either.

The basic idea behind the quote is that what you’re doing won’t feel like work if it’s something you love doing anyway. I mean, think of the thing you want to be doing right now instead of reading this post. Your favorite thing in the world. Now, along comes some idiot who offers to pay you to do that very thing! How can you possibly say no?

There’s a darker aspect to this quote that I don’t think people consider though. If you take the thing you love and do that for work, you’re turning what you love into a job. This is a trap that I’ve fallen into. Multiple times.

cansaço, autoexposição e o novo perpétuo são os atuais paradigmas de dominação. As saídas: a “república dos vivos”, a partir da imaginação, tempo livre e laços coletivos

Posdata sobre el legalismo (pt.crimethinc.com)

Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un antifascista checo y un partisano yugoslavo se encontraron en una playa del Adriático.

Al final, surgió la pregunta inevitable. «¿Qué hiciste en la guerra?», le preguntó el antifascista checo al partisano.
