<p>NEWLY PUBLISHED BOOK TO READ</p><p>My latest book - THE WILD - takes the view that &quot;anarchy&quot;, often extrapolated in and through the historical, socially-derived politics of anarchism, should instead be characterized on a naturalistic and queer basis as &quot;the wild&quot; (in much the same way as Kropotkin observed nature and came up with the principle of &quot;mutual aid&quot; in fact). </p><p>Through thirteen chapters this idea is then teased out, explained and extrapolated as something both ethical and political that is contrary to patriarchal, capitalist, industrial and technological human civilization as it has developed. </p><p>As such, this book is both a call to the wild (and to the truth and reality of the wild) and to the assertion that in feralness there is an authenticity of the mutual co-existence of all things to be found. </p><p>The book can be downloaded FOR FREE from the link below in multiple formats or read online.

<p>finished watching <a href="https://eggplant.place/search?r=1&q=https://eggplant.place/movie/13fEcUnKgOKjeNLEATmdu8" rel="nofollow">Anniversary</a> <br>A cautionary tale about the USA going full fascist (I know, I&#x27;m not downplaying Trump) over... a book? written by an intellectual? How about making the ideology delivery mechanism be... IDK, tweets from a reality show celebrity? That, I would believe.</p><p>In all seriousness, I don&#x27;t know if this movie gets how fascists and fascism work, but I&#x27;ll give it a 👍 for trying.</p><p>I did like that the movement is backed by a corporation, they got that partially right.</p><p><a href="/tags/pol/" rel="tag">#pol</a> <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a> <a href="/tags/trump/" rel="tag">#trump</a> <a href="/tags/fascism/" rel="tag">#fascism</a> <a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#capitalism</a><br></p>

<p>After The Economist’s interview with Elon Musk, will major media finally reassess how they cover the fascist billionaire?</p><p>As its editor-in-chief did the rounds saying she was “not a Musk hater,” he was on X calling her a traitor to the West and suggesting she be murdered.

<p>Some of you may have spotted a sell-off of shares in AI-related chip makers across the world yesterday (following on from dips last week)... for those of us watching &amp; waiting for the start of an AI-related stock-market crash, this might look like the initiating &#x27;event&#x27; many have expected as the returns from AI-related investments fail to materialise or are projected (again) further forward.... </p><p>or it might just be a profit-taking dip?</p><p>Watch this space...</p><p><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/stockmarkets/" rel="tag">#stockmarkets</a> <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a> </p><p>h/t FT</p>
