Undermining Government Through Communicative Anarchism
At its heart, anarchism is a philosophy. It is about asserting that installing rulers and initiating violence are wholly immoral. Anarchism is a synonym for absolute liberty.

“Love heals. Heals and liberates.

I study counseling psychology. I learn to use skills that help people deal with personal issues, trauma, mental issues, and stress. But saying I “help” someone is actually a misnomer.

Government is the warmongering tribal leader. Psychiatry is the charlatan medicine man. The enterprise is a rampaging behemoth that wields a deadly blend of deception and violence. It is an incestuous relationship that damages…

Post Traumatic Stress disorder is considered a mental disorder that affects people who have experienced something painful or unnerving. These experiences are usually scenarios that involve witnessing or causing death or destruction. For example, if a man signs up for military service and is spirited away to strange lands to kill strange people—he becomes a likely candidate for PTSD.…

When I was a youngster I was diagnosed with ADD. Educators said I could not pay attention. They said I often got lost in my own world. I would not read what they wanted.
