I've been thinking that anarchists will see this stay home thing as oppression, and I get that. On the other hand, this world needs to change. Instead of looking at this as the state forcing one to stay in, maybe try to see it as solidarity & mutual aid to those with compromised immune systems. A hitting of the reset button.

I'm in the bay and I live on a main street, the quiet last night was exquisite. The air even smells better already.

What if we all just never went back to the shitty jobs we had? Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful for garbage collectors, grocery store clerks, nurses. meaning I am appreciative some people go to work. What I would really enjoy though is tearing up the asphalt and planting a garden.

I'm not naive enough to think this can't have an authoritarian turn, of course it can, but maybe if we stay home voluntarily for now we can not be forced to later. And when they want us to get back to normal we don't.

I get that this is fantasy but why is it fantasy?

We can change our minds.
