Riotous Ecology

From anarchy secession subsistence by seaweed

Fires, either intentional or from lightning, have been a component of many ecosystems for millennia. We know that prior to colonization on Turtle Island, controlled fires were used by many indigenous peoples to alter their habitats in favourable ways. It helped facilitate travel by eliminating thick underbrush, increased the numbers of game animals and helped nut trees be more productive, among many benefits. It was a subsistence tactic that had been honed for generations.

You Ask Why Your Cities Are Burning?

....just a little song I wrote the other night after coming out of the woods for a second and going online...its more for the citizens, liberals, reformists, and defunders, hopefully nothing too new for anarchists who, I hope, wish to destroy society, not fix it....so we can all live free and autonomously.....piece out - Nazel Pickens (aka...etc)
