"alienation from nature" is bullshit

"Touching grass" is the opposite of what a large deal of people need to do in a time when economic activity can be generated at home or online, and when individuals have a wealth of options for how, when, and whether they ever wish to interact socially in person.

It is evident that psychological and physiological plurality exist, despite the efforts of technocrats and spiritual Christians to deny this. After two years of living alone and not talking to anyone who wasn't a cashier, my nervous system has only recently started to find some semblance of peace, except for an occasional encounter with a long-term internet friend that, while enjoyable and interesting, wasn't all that different from other respectable days spent by myself. "Touching grass" is a lost opportunity to better your online life, and not everyone is "starved" of "real-world" "contact"; that is your frivolous and unimaginative projection that, at best, manages to browbeat various natural loners into hurting themselves through false integration into society and alienated preferences. It is not an essential "human" property.

Who says an anarchist's main

Who says an anarchist's main concern is economic activity?
Not that any of your arguments suffice, but you don't need to justify your actions and way of life to strangers online.
I judge your life from afar as one of impoverished misery.

it's sad I have to explain

it's sad I have to explain this. as long as you live in a society where food is commodified, not dying by virtue of consuming food is "economic activity." this post was directed to the anticiv & primmie canons of anarchism--and the people on here who love to thoughtlessly regurgitate them as a sort of antidote to the perceived leftist boogeyman--who much like you do not recognize the trivial truth of psychological pluralism and assume that the less a hunter-gatherer would be comfortable in your shoes, the more "miserable" your way of life must be.

it seems that you're the type

it seems that you're the type to get beat up by a strawman of your own creation, like a more pathetic version of Frankenstein.
yes, anarchist value freedom more than eating. example: multiple hunger strikes to the point of near death.
this psychological aspect you mention like an "aha gotcha" have been addressed by many anprims.
i'm not gonna sort through the backlog for you.

and for the entire time that

and for the entire time that you're not on a hunger strike in prison, you engage in economic activity. curious!

feel free to sort through the nonexistant backlog--at nearly every turn they like to point out how modern dwellings are unhealthy habitats cf. the uncivilized podcast saying people behave like zoo animals having a psychotic crisis

An impartial poster here, c

An impartial poster here, c'mon brah, anarchist hunger strikes are like one in two billion people, thats 1 / 2000,000,000, There are more primitivist anarchists revving V8 engines than hunger-striking lol.

What's the difference, really

What's the difference, really. A lonely person in a city sends out an invitation for friendship on a dating app, and on the other side of the world a lonely primitivist sends smoke signals out across the valley hoping to attract some potential friend?

Coz big business doesn't make

Coz big business doesn't make billions (yet) profiling you through the smoke signals and where the campfire is located, and using predictive algos to control who's gonna respond to the signals, bird brain. And sell the smoke data to the highest bidder.

(this site really might enjoy some intelligence captcha tests to keep the low-effort commenter levels low)

I'm soOo far ahead of you

I'm soOo far ahead of you that it appears that I am off the mark, however, I'm thinking already about the elderly primitivist tribal guru chief who has located the lonely guy and is already going to introduce him to one of his sexy groupie followers, have him married and under his control, and use him for subversive tribal politics as a hitman against rival primitivist chiefs. See, it's not so different from human behavior in any environment. You can take someone out of the environment, but you can't get the human passions out of the human!
