this was the second thing I read that LBC published, i felt that i could really relate to a lot of it, and as anon 17:16 pointed out, it's cryptic in some pretty comical ways. I've always assumed that "Everything" was meant to be some sort of mesh of "society" and "nature", alluding to the fact that we can no longer really tell the difference between the more artificial things that humans do and what life was like before there was such a thing as "society".

I assume that "commitment to commitment" is a veiled criticism of senseless/superfluous actions like saying "hello", perhaps that's just what living in this universe is? Something that defies all sense of philosophical/activist "purpose"?

The pamphlet is most clearly speaking the language of alienation, and IMO a fun way, it's as if this is the start of some sort of nameless cult. One of the biggest issues i've had with my life is raw feelings of frustration and confusion with why other people think the way that they do and do the things that they do, and lack of ideas for better connecting with them. That's why i've found it to be more refreshing just to give up and let the connections and friendships materialize on their own, with zero expectations except the expectation that they won't fuck with me unless i'm "asking for it". Very standard don't-tread-on-me logic but it's better than pretending to care about everyone equally.

Let's talk about obscuritan anarchist texts more often everyone! It's fun.
