Humans are not meant to be calm and collected 24/7. We do not have to be mature or the bigger person every day. We are animals, we will get scared, stressed, enraged, overstimulated, etc. the idea that one bite, push, or yell will make us forever bad is flawed. They are trying to remove us from natural reactions to situations so that they can have better control. Our behaviors will be punished just like people punish pets for just being an animal. We shall be punished for being human.

Imagine like Parrot is like an angry cat without his prized spyglass. Like, after he gave his spyglass away to Clown and got trapped in Proton, ngl he didn't really have time to react because he kind of needed to help get everyone out, but afterwards. When Parrot and Wifies are going to build "Minecraft's Safest Civilization", Parrot is freaking out so hard that Wifies just gives him another spyglass, pretends he somehow stole back the original, and just pray that everything will end up fine. Parrot does eventually realize the spyglass he has isn't the original, but, at that point, he doesn't care anymore. The first spyglass was made even before he'd known Wifies, and he really didn't know why he'd held an attachment to it. The second spyglass was a gift from Wifies, the friend (or more) he'd grown closer to through their time together. And instead of the spyglass having empty meaning and simply being "my prized spyglass", it actually meant something this time: it symbolized their friendship, that despite whatever happens to them, would always come back stronger than it was before. The spyglass is one of the only things Parrot still has left from Wifies. He vows to never lose it because there won't be a Wifies to hand him a new one if he does. (Or like, idk, I'm totally wrong, and apparently Parrot got a spyglass sometime between before-escaping-proton and endciv, THEN I GUESS EVERYTHING SUCKS MY HEADCANON DOESN'T WORK ARGGHGJGIJIH)

dean in endciv telling parrot he was the first person to try protect him vs dean in the last ep telling parrot he might be the last person that ever trusted him is this anything

[randomminecraftguy]

That's an interesting thought! And though I did want to see Pangi as possible traitor, there's something that I think explains minemanner being one:

First, lets talk about mine. You say there was no point in him suggesting villagers to protect skyciv. However, later in the video Wemmbu comes to Horace and they go out to endciv and it's remains. Here's the thing: it wasn't completely destroyed, it was used by invis mafia as a base! Sure it's destructed, but its livable, and now they have control over the end, as there is place for them to restock their items. Wouldn't having villagers benefit invmaf after their invasion of sky civ? Maybe the players who live there could technically get better gear, but because mine is one of their best fighters AND he's on invmaf side, they could easily just simply outnumber and outgear them. And its unlikely they'd kill them, probably get the better people on their side.

Mine isn't a person to always tell the truth. Maybe he doesn't want any more players joining the invmaf because he was forced to join? Maybe he really cares, but he's afraid they'll get hurt and end up like him, having to hurt others, players who just wanna play. That's why he wants to destroy skyciv. So that there's no place for Ash to target, and so no one can get hurt.

At least that's what I think.

Back to Pangi: We have VERY little info and it all comes from Pangi himself, so we don't know if he is telling the truth or lying. Maybe he *was* freed by Zam. Maybe it happened after Zam escaped through the end portal to the overworld but before Wemmbu found skyciv, we don't have a timeline for that, which makes it difficult.

Pangi leaving RIGHT before invmaf traitor reveal was a very big sis moment to me, ngl, so I do agree he should've been a traitor, but I don't think minemanner doesn't make sense, you know what I mean 🥺

My main theory about Pangi being let out is Clown just letting him go. Because he can be a little kind every now and then, come on, its Pangi. I believe Clown is NOT working with Ash (and that he might be against Ash in a way) because Egg was likely taken by Ash and Clown confirmed he DOESN'T know where Egg is, this

I don't really remember if Egg was freed or let go to be honest, but my memory is telling me its Clown let him go... correct me if I'm wrong and ignore this because it doesn't make sense if he was freed by a third party that isn't invmaf

Your theories do make sense, though I don't believe in Clown working for Ash theory until I see it with my own two eyes...(But that's just me and my hopeless dreams in subversion of expectations, he probably is 😔)

Hopefully my ramblings make sense... 👾👾👾

spoilers for the wemmbu uu vid the skyblock civ one

please tell me im not the only one who thought that pangi was the traitor?

i might need to watch back some parts later but like, to me (i think) pangi being the traitor makes more sense than minemanner/straight being the traitor

because, what was the point of straight even suggesting villagers to jaron? because the reason he suggested that at the time was so they could be safer from the invis mafia, but why he even want them to be safer from the mafia if he was in the mafia? i wanna say that even if he wanted to destroy the skyblock civ, he still wanted the others to be safe, but that doesn't make any sense, because he still let the mafia in when the didn't have any villagers, hell, even before any of them (with the exception of wemmbu) can escape.

what was even his role as the traitor anyways? like why was there a need to even have a traitor there? to monitor the civ so it wouldn't get too powerful or something? iirc the skyblock civ has been there for a year so why didn't ash immediately destroyed it when he got power? he intervened with parrot's civ even before it got built and took over it after, you'd think an already existing civ thousands blocks away from spawn would be just as useful as the end civ right? i think so at least

sorry, i side tracked lol

so, back to pangi making more sense as the traitor, iirc pangi said that he got out because zam got him out and told him to do his own thing, but like, what if that was a lie? what if he got out because clown made a deal with him, where he lets him out of the prison if he agrees to work with ash (which is a whole different theory btw, where clown is working with ash, i don't think it's confirmed but it makes a lot of sense to me), because how would zam even convince clown to let out pangi? is that how zam got to escape room? (maybe it is actually. might need to rewatch the escape room vid to see if they mentioned something about that, fuck)

and pangi literally leaving just before the mafia showed up is way too convenient to me, like, don't get me wrong cc!pangi could've actually had a thing going on where he had to leave, but still, way to convenient imo

then again, funnier explanation is that pangi actually was supposed to be the original traitor but, cc!pangi had to leave so they had change the traitor to straight lol

Everyday Anarchists

When I talk with people about anarchism, they tend to tense up. I can use words like mutual aid or police abolition quite comfortably these days, but I think people have big feelings when I use the word anarchy. It conjures images violence, rioting, revolution. They think of punks and skinheads. But the colloquial use of the word “anarchy” (confusion, disorder, lack of obedience) is far from the political ideology.

Anarchism is a belief system that rejects all involuntary, coercive forms of hierarchy. Anarchism believes in autonomy, the right of the people to self govern without state leadership. Anarchists believe that the state should be abolished as it holds too much power and is harmful towards most people. That’s it. Not nearly as radical as one might think, right? At least not in today’s political climate.

Part of the misconception around anarchism is that many people think of it as an alternative form of government born out of violent revolution. But I’ve come to learn that anarchy isn’t necessarily just an end goal but an ongoing process, like “justice” or “solidarity”. Most anarchists don’t believe that revolution will happen overnight and people will be able to self organize in the ashes of that revolution. While that might happen, it’s not an ideal transition away from state control. Like so many concepts that we deal with these days: collapse, genocide, apocalypse, etc. anarchy is not one single event but a series of events that started in the past and will continue into the future. It’s an ongoing process.

What’s more, anarchism isn’t a single approach! There are dozens of ideologies that branch off from anarchism: green anarchism, anarcho-pacifism, communo-anarchism, anarcho-primitivism, anarcho-capitalism. The list goes on. Each take considered different factors depending on where you live, what your community looks like, what resources you have, how healthy you are.

No matter what ideology you follow, anarchism is built on some basic approaches to a better life: mutual aid, resistance to state control, communalism. And it’s funny because most people would agree with these principles but would not call themselves anarchists.

I think

I think it's time

For wrenches in the works

And bombs in the mail

Fires in the fracking fields

Assasins on Wall Street

I want the traffic to cease its constant growling

Banks blazing bright in the wee widdershin hours of the night

I want factories buried in vines and ruins in riotous bloom

My green thumbs and trigger finger itch.

I find it fascinating that even many of those that find industrial civilization inherently destructive etc, seem to also see its development as inevitable. This seems to me to be a twisted way of viewing our world. History (and anthropology, sociology, psychology, and so on), or at least real, truthful versions of those studies, offers a very different picture: one in which one way of life, through its self-centered, short-sighted, self-righteous behavior; its geographic location; and its discoveries of powerful but ultimately unsustainable practices, came to, through brutal, repressive dominionism, cover most of the world with its all-encompassing and all-devouring worldview, worship of the deified production, and ubiquitous objectification. Industrial Civilization is not inevitable. It is not the highest development of human society, its technologies, or its achievements. It is, quite simply, a deadly, exploitative, destructive, unsustainable institution that metastasized across the globe, and dominated all that came in its path.

From the depth of the forest she will find you She will drag you up and call you into being She will lay her naked body on the debris She will howl until her spirit overruns the city She will rise up through the cracks between the pavements She will buckle train lines, bridges all collapsing And the towers of the mighty become frail As she opens up her belly to devour. She will pour her molten core upon the runways She will leave her rusting hulls upon the shoreline She will swallow up the iron that was stolen She will vomit up the plastic and the poison Her oceans will make islands of the mainland Her tendrils will be wrapped around the cables And the buried bones of buildings will lie vacant As she feeds upon the ribcage of forever, forever

Unschooling as a Gateway

While I’ve always been counter cultural and questioned authority, my role as an unschooling parent has undoubtedly fueled my current point of view about how the world works. The last two years have been a pretty intense dive into personal and political beliefs. I wanted to document this ongoing step-by-step process and I come to form new beliefs. It’s gone something like this:

1. As an unschooling parent, I believe in the autonomy and inherent rights of my children as fully formed humans who know what’s best for them.

2. If I believe in the rights of my children, it follows that I should believe in the rights and autonomy of all people.

3. Current systems of oppression including racism, sexism, childism, homophobia, and transphobia find their roots in colonial ways of thinking. They are intersectional. If I believe in the rights and autonomy of all people, I need to decolonize the way I live.

4. Capitalism is a product of colonialism and a system which continues to uphold colonial power.

“Capitalism has established an unswerving dichotomy of relations between a certain center, which is the heart of the capitalist exploitation system, and the periphery which consists of dominated countries and populations of people.” – Samir Amin (quoted from David Harvey) on colonialism as the fuel for capitalism.

If I am trying to decolonize the way I live, I must also choose a stance of anti-capitalism.

5. In exploring other options to capitalism, communalism is a natural alternative, but communism led by state forces is just another brand of authoritarianism which prevents people from acting autonomously. Communialism, then, must be paired with decentralized political structures and self-governance as is found with anarchism.

6. Anarcho-communism makes sense if we view humanity in a vacuum without being part of the intricate web of life or ignoring climate catastrophe. We must also stop excessive resource extraction and pollution. Anarcho-communism must be green.

7. The likelihood of a global green-anarcho-communist revolution is unlikely. What’s more likely is a path on our current trajectory that will lead to collapse (stay with me…) and as such, rather than “saving the planet”, we would be more prudent to focus our individual and collective energies on how to live in a post-collapse world. Solarpunk technologies, mutual aid networks, rewilding, grassroots action, collectivism, permaculture/indigenous agriculture practices: these approaches must be intersectional and not siloed in order to be effective. If not, oppression will continue to grow.

This is where I am now. I love to write about unschooling as an anti-oppressive tool but it cannot exist in a silo. We have to talk about decolonization of our social structures, our economy, our work, our play. I don’t have all the solutions and I am learning more everyday so my views perspectives will continue to shift as I continue to learn. But I feel like this is a good place to start from and a good place from which to engage with the world around me.
