To help myself counteract feelings of inevitability and permanence around capitalism, I've just confirmed the following observation:
The period of time during which dance manias were known to occur is far longer than the period of time in which modern industrial capitalism has existed. I wonder of historians will one day compare these two brief interludes of contagious self-destructive madness.

- Distinct religious history
Where does your religion come from? Maybe you're pulling from other traditions that go back thousands, or tens of thousands, of years? Or perhaps not. If you're reading this I'm going to assume you might be anarchist, so I'll just leave this right here:
theanarchistlibrary.org/librar
You may also have your own text and history. Great ;)

Just started listening to this one, and I'd absolutely recommend it. It's great.
It's really hard to explain how complicated beliefs can be, especially to folks in an urban bubble. The truth is, part of my anarchism came from listening to #rural folks. I didn't really live in a big city until I was like 18, but I came to those places already with a set of liberal biases.
Some of the things I experienced in those places pushed me towards being a Communist. But there are some strangely anarchistic tenancies, even in those who profess to be politically the opposite.
My stance on guns was largely shaped by understanding and extending the arguments of rural gun owners. They continued to evolve long after, but it took actually listening to break through my liberal biases and understand the ways in which gun control can actually intersect with other forms of oppression. There is a lot more nuance than I had grown up to believe.
And it goes both ways. Conservative gun owners have absolutely no intellectual against anarchist gun arguments. They're generally either gonna fall into racism that you can talk about, or start to radicalize left. There are plenty of similar pathways.
But also, not everyone in rural areas is conservative. There are plenty of rural anarchists and communists. They just get buried under stereotypes.
Anyway, this has been great to listen to and I'd recommend it.

- Literature of its own
Write stuff together. Reference other stuff. If you're making an anarchist coven, then you can draw from literally the entire history of anarchism and adjacent stuff. I think you can figure this out.
You just need literally any text. Here's a zine I wrote that talks about all this:
ia601509.us.archive.org/3/item
Or like, reference The Parable of the Sower trilogy. Whatever, as long as it's written down somewhere that you can point to.
