Who Can Still Cultivate the Uncomfortable? - Scrutiny #2: An Anarch Journal of Review

Scrutiny is a lucidity pact. Not an ideology, but a form which we take towards all things. To our own ideas. To the past. To the numb future. In these pages the rampant contradictions and divergences have a thin veil of warfare. Even at the smallest level there must be violence against the culture, against the image, against the robot, against its knowledge and its material. Who are the last agents who can still summon this near-exterminated, irrational violence? Who can still cultivate the uncomfortable? Scrutiny is the engine, powering us towards the receding cliffs of rupture.

Scrutiny #1 (an anarch journal of review) NOW AVAILABLE!

Scrutiny is sorely needed, everywhere. That has been our assessment. If we are to move beyond the banal and redundant self-referential mediocrity of this current reality, we need to be far more relationally critical and honest, not only of the horrifying world at large, the varied environments we are part of, and our own thoughts and actions, but most force- fully with the withering anarchist space we still dwell within (somewhat reluctantly and certainly marginally at this point, we suppose).

Stalking The Nightmare of Control

Stalking The Nightmare of Control--Invecchiare Selvatico Reflects On War of Dreams: A Field Guide to DIY Psy-Ops by Jason Rodgers

Jason is no mere propagandist, that is a project for politics and power. Rodgers is a provocateur of the highest degree and a psychic warrior of great finesse. In their attempt to corrupt the perceptions and attitudes of individuals, groups, and powers, Jason’s psychological operations have no limits, but don’t expect the played out and obtuse knuckle-headed full-frontal attack! attack! attack! No, Rodgers is like a brilliant little termite, chewing away the rotting structures and shitting out the detritus for dreams to grow in as the mutherfucker crumbles from within. Chew!

Invecchiare Selvatico Reflects On
Invisible Generation: Rants, Polemics, and Critical Theory Against The Planetary Work Machine
by Jason Rodgers

It is rare in a world of posers, of fakes, of superficial trend surfers, of programed zombies, of reified rebels, of performative soldiers, of plastic identities, and such, to find someone who critically grapples with complexity and nuance and is not afraid to dip toes into the dangerous, a true free-spirit, an anarchist, or at least what that once meant before it all became so safe, so comfortable, so predictable, so non-anarchist. And when I am pleasantly surprised, usually by accident, that my paths come across one of these kindred spirits and their creative little explosions into the world, I am moved to respond. I begin to realize that I am not alone. There are others out there who are still alive, who have not been lobotomized and neutered by this displaced and dispirited post-modern techno-reality. I see you.
