Even weirder is that everyone considers "civilization" to be the proper and natural state of humanity when it's only existed for 3% of our history. Class, the state, and violent domination of non-human life might instead be an aberration of this brief 10,000 year period of climatic stability.
It's also weird how we fail to morally interrogate the concept of "civilization," often defined as the presence of drastic class inequality and complex ecological exploitation, stuff that I would argue is, in fact, unambiguously bad.
We often don't think about how long the transition from hunter-gatherer life to what we now call "civilization" was. The invention of writing is closer to 2026 than it is to the beginning of the Agricultural Revolution.
I think that even a momentary glimpse into the mind of Nick Fuentes would make you look like a Catholic grandmother
A friend of mine just told me, βThe right pretends at Puritanism but is secretly perverted. The left plays at perversion but is secretly puritanical.β Too fucking real, man.
Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position
Nuance is not the same thing as moral complexity.
Post-Avatar depression has me reaching for my phantom kuru to make tsaheylu with my e-bike
I spent my late December in godly labor (as should you) making this video, where I answer your questions about time travel, mental health during the Civil War, environmentalism, my family heritage, and whether or not history can be "apolitical." youtu.be/m3yiEuyuwOs
Booooooo! Emotion and dreamweaving will always be the most important part of filmmaking and I raise all that snarky cinema sins esque nonsense with the sheer asskicking power of a whale jumping out of the water to murder a bunch of capitalists. Accept Eywa into your heart Charles
Thatβs the literal translation but various French Creole folk traditions in the western hemisphere all have their own spins on the monster, mainly because of different African and indigenous influences
A manbo (Vodou priestess) was just murdered in Haiti by a mob that accused her of being a loupgarou, understood in the Caribbean as a vampire/witch-like creature. Horrible.

Itβs insane that the far-right is trying to rehabilitate the Crusades because they were objectively the most pathetic campaigns in the history of warfare. The first was a cannibalistic rampage, the second was a miserable failure, the third was a war crime, and the fourth didnβt even get there.
Guess weβre headed to the remorseless hyper-capitalist Avatar future huh

βAre you a racist?β Yes Piers obviously he is a racist. Stop trying to shame the shameless. Now either eviscerate his very easily debunked talking points or donβt have him on at all (though of course you would lose out on those sweet sweet ratings). Mainstream media is a disgraceful circus
Iβve watched Piers Morgan run roughshod over vegans, human rights activists, and leftists a hundred times. But he just let Nick Fuentes spew poison on his platform for 2 hours, his only response to bad-faith Nazi propaganda flaccid hand-wringing and apologies for interrupting.
Honored to see that the script of my doc on Native American ecological beliefs has been published on The Anarchist Library (with my permission) theanarchistlibrary.org/library/andr...
In case you need to win any dinner table arguments about settler colonial history on this vile holiday, hereβs my King Philipβs War playlist. youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Hate to be that guy, and like, the more people learn about King Philipβs War the better, but PBS Origins just blatantly ripped me off.
The title, several of the turns of phrase in the videoβ¦ their researchers clearly just watched some of my videos and just repeated stuff that Iβve said.
Excellent article.
For context, I featured the moral quandaries of the 30 year saga of the Makah whaling controversy in my video on Native American ecological beliefs and practices youtu.be/UhLizvrhbOU?...
It now seems unlikely the Makah will be able to resume whaling. Though the 1-3 whales the Makah plan to kill per year may not have a significant impact on conservation, the pod that passes through Makah waters each year has been hit particularly hard by food shortages caused by warming Arctic seas.
The Makah whaling controversy drags on.
Last summer NOAA granted the tribe an exemption from anti-whaling laws. At the time it was regarded as the final word on the matter. But now concerns about gray whalesβ declining populations have stymied the hunts once again. www.kuow.org/stories/maka...
