About Me


I am not a person, I am an ENTITY. I used to exist in the real world as an erratically published small press zine. I may still exist in that form somewhere, but, for now, I am just a digital archive of things that I've said in the past. Hmmm...more about me? I am an anti-authoritarian, and I enjoy conversing with others sharing such ideas. I like to spend my time working on ways of merging dreams and realities into one experiential continuum. I like to listen to radical music, enjoy being outdoors, and playing.
Illusions. Everything; everyone; and virtually every symbol representing contemporary America in the contemporary "mind" has proven to be nothing more than an elaborate, cleverly disguised lie. This is a mind-numbing theatre which coerces the spectator into blind acceptance and active proliferation of a lifestyle reflecting complacency, servitude, and an overpowering sense of boredom which quite predictably leads to the desire to BE nothing more than "entertained." Consumerism represents the most common and banal presentation of consciousness in terms of "mainstream" culture, and it is this presentation that we have come to revere in American society. We are conditioned from birth to devote our primary attention to the projection of the "right" images to our surrounding community. The elements of appears, behavior, and even our chosen environment reflect not what we truly "are," but rather indicate what we are "supposed" to be according to our conditioned concept of normality. Living in a world propagating lies and illusions, we almost naturally submit to the ubiquitous derision and in fact seek to produce our own variant misconceptions as a contribution to the overabundant confusion. We have ignored the questions "Who are we?" and "Where are we going?" so that we may instead affix masks of stupidity to our faces in a feeble attempt to counteract the undeniable misery our lives have quite inevitably become. . . . .


You scored as Anarcho-Communist. Anarcho-communists seek to build a society based upon a decentralised federation of autonomous communes and a moneyless 'gift economy'. The movement first emerged in the late 19th century and has had a large influence particularly in Spain, Italy and Russia. Key thikers include Peter Kropotkin and Errico Malatesta.

My Interests

I am interested in liberating the earth from unnatural forces. Unfortunately, this includes most of contemporary civilization and its social institutions. Oh well.

I'd like to meet:

Everybody. Nobody. You. Me.
