@NatureSchoolSU @WifeMamaHome @RizomaSchool 10/ To overthrow the Spell is to see through this significance-allocation regime and to reject the reality principle which commands us to be fooled by appearances—"respect the Emperor's New Clothes". It means withdrawing from the artificial apparatus assigning value to power.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet thread here: The real fight? Not the political fight, but to put an end to politics. We rise not as a political category but as an earth-inclusive moral fusion movement transcending a Spectacle simply incapable of recognizing, never mind enacting, a coherent response to this era's polycrisis. Through eyes that see, the world over, it's plain as daylight: the greatest barrier confronting a functional solution to what ails US democracy, is a pissing match, imagined by its largely White protagonists as the holiest, highest ground of necessity, probity and significance. Perhaps the deeper political significance of what are, in essence, maniacal purity cults, is the co-dependent Spectacle of totalizing distraction and denial sustaining the whole shebang. To see is to see through the show. Blake: "it is Burnt up the Moment Men cease to behold it."
@reggaj Polycrisis? What polycrisis? Yup, at one level, it's the Extinction Business As Usual. Elsewhere though, folk are waking to what's Real, what matters, and how they can plug in to an immediate, convivial experience of what works; digging in to the truth and love of the neighborly.

@Nick Routledge1 There's Gary Snyder: "Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there." And, of course, the perfect trans-Atlantic resonance in T. H. White: "Well, | can only teach you two things - to dig, and to love your home. These are the true ends of philosophy."
