If those ideologies cited above had been part of a sermon, I might've found solace in theology.

"Thus, many anarchists began to absorb a spiritual perspective by osmosis."

It's a bit crazy how a scamdemic revealed so much about our society, but especially about those we personally know as well as the local apparatchiks who brazenly surfaced and seized so much power. I personally think, that prior to the scam most Leftist organizations had already been co-opted and a virus was the hill they chose to die on. This was the crisis they were going to use as a pretext to advance a very "insidious" agenda. But we can only blame ourselves for being shocked as many hints were given along the way as well as the shameless and brazen "published accounts" of their future agenda. It's just that most were not cognizant of what they "really meant" when they said: We're in this together." We soon learned "together" meant take the experimental jab, throw a mask over your lips, and comply.

That thinking certainly didn't bring to mind the Leftists of past generations who would've said fuck you to big pharma and laughed at anyone who mentioned wearing a mask, let alone lockdowns.

After all, Woodstock was held during a pandemic while thousands of young folks were jammed into a farm field for days listening to rock music. But back then, medicine hadn't been totally weaponized and the US public school system did not abandon teaching critical thinking skills.

There's one other point, I don't think we can just forgive and forget although for some they might find that type of mentality spiritually satisfying. Too many lives have been permanently destroyed by this COVID money-grabbing stunt and there needs to be accountability before moving on to that spiritually renewing plateau.

Thank you for the lovely book reference. Loving kindness is The Withway and the Tao. It has enormous power whether applied to an individual or a community. Other lifeforms practice it naturally and their example is all around us if we know how to look for it and learn from its wisdom.

For a few years from 2004 I lived off-grid on a fruit farm in central Spain. People would ask me if I felt lonely and afraid, living in isolation in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos. It was odd, but I felt more lonely in the village than I ever did on my farm where nature was teeming, constantly demanding my attention and wonder. I never viewed it as anarchism at the time but, looking back on that sublime experience, I guess it was the most ancient and natural form of anarchy that we can hope to experience in the modern materialism.
