Humans are a keystone species, not inherently parasitic or evil or destructive, for most of our history we had a very unique & beautiful &beneficial role in the ecosystem of this planet, we acted an ecological knowledge reservoir, learning, preserving & accumulating knowledge, & using that deep knowledge of the land to form very beneficial & mutual relationships with the land, many experts think that the average paleolithic human actually had more knowledge accumulated than the average person in modern civilization

We used this knowledge to form a deeply symbiotic/mutual beneficiary relationship with other life forms, for example spreading their seeds of the best flowers to attract/help bees, this would also attract many other beneficial pollinators & make flower & pollinator populations more vibrant & healthy, we would clear out competitive plants in order for edible, medicinal & other helpful plants to grow faster, healthier & more often, we would spread the seeds of anti-parasitic plants to prevent parasites from attacking the plants, we even mastered controlled fires which helped clear dead wood & barriers that restricted growth in forests, we acted as “allies” to much of the life in the world, our deep knowledge, memory & constant learning gave us a unique, mutually beneficial & highly beneficial role in all ecosystems, which is why we spread to every continent

When giant ground sloths went extinct humans stepped in to preserve the avocado among other things that relied on the giant to survive, a mutualistic relationship between avocados & humans replaced the one between ground sloths & avocados

When I say we need climate action, I mean that we need to steal from unaffordable housing building sites to build and supply dugout wildfire and tsunami shelters on high ground forcibly maintained regardless of being placed on private "property".

When I say we need climate action, I mean that we need to retake monocultural cornfields and establish proper irrigation and biodiverse farming spaces with consultation, collaboration, knowledge of, and direct immediate reparational benefit to the First Nations of the region alongside recognization and return of said retaken land to such Nations.

When I say we need climate action, I mean we need to force consequences to climate criminals until they back down, that includes and highlights deposing them.

When we say “we don’t know what an anarchist society would be like because we are not yet in one,” we are not being vague or evasive. We are saying that societies ought to be constructed by the people in them. Anarchism is a set of tools and principles with which to construct societies that value freedom and cooperation. We actually do have examples of what those societies can look like, but where we are at now, and where we will be in the future, is not revolutionary Catalonia, Ukraine during the Russian Civil War, or Korean Manchuria. We should not expect to reach the same answers as they did, even if we apply similar problem-solving methods to our problems.

We draw from history–not just from the history of self-styled anarchists like those examples above, but the lived experiences of people who are from cultures that are not traditionally state societies or capitalist. We draw from history to write our present, and to prepare to collectively write our future."

Post-civ is the synthesis of the critique of civilisation without the blanket rejection of culture, art, science, languages and technology. Nuance is important in this conversation especially where we can so easily reproduce hierarchy and colonialism through burning everything down without thinking of how to build, honestly it’s a really white and privileged position to take.

“Keep whats good and compost the rest”

And here’s a good video on civilisation, colonialism anarchism
