“Shouldn’t the fight for the environment really be a fight against industrialization, rather than a fight against nature itself? We often think of ways to sustain our current lifestyles and bypass nature, but we rarely ever think of rewilding, of making way for nature and allowing some things to remain in their anachronistic state. This seems so troublesome to people for no reason, humans create whatever excuse they can to remain comfortable as possible, regardless of future consequence. I would know, I’m one of those humans.” -Michael Ament
Quotes
“A common misunderstanding people have about anarchism is that it is NOT a human ideology, a human creation. In it’s purest form.. It is duality, the good and the bad. An application in order to balance this duality. Utopia or Dystopia. Either you have an egalitarian utopia, or you have a Fascist dictatorship. In the beginning there were no false grey lines. There was only one, and that is balance, this is the original anarchism, the state of the world before building a society with cities and everything else was even thought of. You ever hear the story of atlas? I’m going to use it as a metaphor for our current state. You see atlas is humanity, and the earth he holds up is a jar, but you see, this jar is broken, it has many fractures . To compensate for this, humanity has to stretch it’s arms further and further to hold the pieces together, but over time, the cracks get worse and worse until it can no longer be held together and the jar crashes into the void.
What we, (as atlas), never realized is that the jar fractured worse because our footing was all wrong, we had no balance.
And thus, regardless of the direction we chose, they would both lead to our extinction, rather than the happy story-book end we intended.” -Michael Ament

Quote
“Labor is relative, when a man feels he has accomplished something, blood, sweat, and tears are irrelevant.
What makes something worthy of action, is what lies within the heart.
If you are told that you are of no use, that only means you are of no use to them; but what of yourself, are you useful to yourself?
There will be a time when such materialism is in the past, and those who have fought with their emotions, their soul, will be crowned kings among men.
A lasting oasis of reason and understanding awaits those who live without time and expectations, without prejudice and the pressures of society; because these are the sources of all suffering in reality.” -Michael Ament
