I don't get exactly what you mean by a "primer", but this is the Holzer school of permaculture, which involves creating layered mounds of compost and soil, above burrowed trees and branches. This is partly using bioelectricity from the ground as well as working in a way as to capture and retain moisture in the lower part. The wooden residues below are also, aside than retaining water and keeping the underground oxygenated, providing with a steady base of minerals and nutriments needed by the crops.

This is by far one of the best approaches to permaculture as it can work well in many different environments while requiring little work. It is said to be providing a rich soil for a few decades or 'til the organic wooden matter disappears, so once it is set up, all you need is add a layer of compost and soil every year.

I think there's plenty of vids about Holzer on Youtube.

Not sure it's that much a good idea as you might end up contributing to security companies learning from your tricks pretty fast, so making things much, much harder for lifters.

Spreading infos is always a good thing, but it should be closer to a need-to-know basis (like here).

Also, likely you knew already there was a /r/lifter sub on Reddit. "was", as it got taken down over complaints of supporting illegal activity. What makes you think Youtube won't do the same?

Is this your first time? We all get to freak out the first time we get caught, but in reality it's just a few minutes of paperwork, at worst. Especially given it's just 45$ worth in goods.

In most places this is meaningless, and even if the employee's a dumb fascist fuck the police will just go "meh" when he calls them.

There's just one time where I got taken to jail (for just one night) over a stolen energy bar. That was in one of those shitty towns where people get arrested over anything.

My take is that next time an employee goes after you, just show him the way to fuck off. As long as it isn't the manager or a security guard there's nothing much some jerk employee can do against you.

And again, relax. We all end up getting caught sooner or later. Just be mindful and cautious.

Keep trying to say anything meaningful. One day it'll come... be patient.

Anybody knows if there was a counter-demo? Syntagma is pretty close to Exarkhia...

I guess that the problem's in how the PC processors market is monopolized by two big companies, so any more grassroots tech business has no choice but to go for ARM for more open designs. Sux.

Alright... you wanted it? Here you go...

No u!

Where are all the juggalos, tho?

No u

I don't think that is the reason why we're producing crap that destroys wild life. There is of course the domestication angle, one that is rather about "civilized vs savage" dichotomy. Tho the philosophical foundations in themselves may be overrated.

Why do people keep buying/consuming cars and make babies, for instance? Is this really because they see themselves as separate from the natural world?

I'm finding this narrative to be counter-productive and not that well-founded.

Our cities are filled with cars and people still make plenty of babies even if there's zero need for those, other than, in some cases, financial incentives by governments. Just these two things in themselves, continuous unneeded procreation and car-based cultures, and putting an incredible economic weight on natural ecosystems, destroying and/or exploiting those on a large scale. You should the story, by now.

People are into capital, power. Or obtaining more. At least that's how they are programmed to be into. Cars and babies are seen as tools for this, to gain more power and accumulate more capital.

Geez... you live in a world of social media binaries. It's not because I'm questioning some commenter's vision of "trans" that it makes me a "cis oppressor" or whatev.

Furthermore... how can anyone here even claim I'm "cis"?

In fact, I'm queer, and those allegations are in themselves oppressive to my sexual non-identity. You ppl are attempting to force me down an ID pols box where I don't belong...

As you can see, we can play this game forever. 'til we realize representation politics are all bullshit. Just a more sophisticated version of the game of "No u vs No u".

So I was like... is this commenter being sarcastic or bluntly expressing the need for being socially mistreated? Heaven knows!

No I can't!

So let's start with this region in here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Arctic+Archipelago/@68.0459061,-106.2604426,8z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x51d8aa9d7e281df5:0x3ea61e49a27154de!8m2!3d75!4d-90.0000001

I posted the map version, not satellite, to show you the absence of roads, even while there are a few sparse towns where people go to and fro by airplane, and less often boat. Feel free to zoom closer in satellite mode to notice the sheer absence of any bigger human presence, and much less infrastructure, save from, perhaps, a handful of hunters or very occasional scientists or military doing specific training or observation operations.

Or equally places like these:

...and on and on...

See? Took me just a bit more time/effort than downvoting. Not too hard.

Okay ELI5 on those matters...

How I feel about what?

What makes me a coward for than you are? Because I dare posting critical comments!? Wtf

I can show you several areas on Google Earth or some alternative mapping service if you'd like... Or "untouched" is a vague notion in itself. Does it mean "unchanged by human intervention", or just that no human has ever went there?

Arabic is not Farsi, CrimethInc...There's only an estimated 2% of Iran's population that uses it.

If there's no Iranian migrants in your hood, then just contact me and I can find someone in my town who can translate for a fair price.

"nature vs human-made" is not a dichotomy, that's the point. It's an ontology.

The very simple distinction that some authors -including the one above, apparently- still don't get is that nature is not what humans haven't made, but all life forms that can sustain without planned, intended human intervention. It is, put roughly, the non-human life forms, and those not existing due to processes of domestication.

There is wild, natural life even in artificial environments like cities and suburbs. It's not the gardens, municipal parks or other maintained green infrastructure.

It lives through the cracks and down the back alleys, and inside your apartment's walls and underneath. It also is everywhere in the atmosphere and below the pavement. And guess what... it also lives inside of YOU. It's bacterial, insect, plant life forms, as well as the bioelectric fluxes that animate life forms. All of this living stuff has preceded and will likely outlive humans. It doesn't live because of, but despite humans, and also beyond humans.

The only false dichotomy is the one that opposes humans to nature or vice versa. We are from nature, yet nature is not from us. Culture is what is from us.

The fact that this author cannot see anything outside of the "human-made" realm thinly-veils their anthropocentryism.

My sarcasm has to do with the fact that the analysis in the quote above is in itself over-civilized. Since when are people labelled through such super-sophisticated lens? 10 years ago?

I'm not denying that cis oppression is a thing, but civilization is far wider than just the very old school '50s normie culture, duh. It is being renewed by trans people seeking to live the conservative lifestyles they were previously not accepted into. And jsyk, trans is not queer... Trans in itself is not carrying a political value of any sorts, and can totally be integrated within authoritarian cultures (think of the fucking army, for starters).

lol Bitch, please!

Why? Like they were touched by pollution? Climate change? Alright, so how does this not make them natural, still?

Switzerland also used to be a lifter's disneyland. Especially for the filthy rich hotspots. I knew anarcho squatters in France who were bluntly doing lifting trips there once in a while. Dunno if security measures got more stiff over the last few years, but I doubt so. Of course there's always a few tougher places but as far as you're careful it was a piece of cake to steal anything in most places.

Nice read, but very USA-centric tho.

I don't doubt this, but what is this "trans-exclusive bioessentialism", or is everything in human conduct needs to be labeled through the LGBTQ+ lens? Why do I think that trans social acceptance is the only struggle that matters to you?

Same old rubbish argument, that "nature doesn't exist because some of it was touched by humans", used to turn a blind eye on the ongoing devastation of natural habitats by the current civilization. Yes, there are natural spaces mostly untouched by humans, and they are being invaded gradually through resource exploitation and suburban developments.

You may shut your eyes over it while you commute on highways, but that's what's been happening all over the place. And that IS a form of violence and oppression against non-human life forms.
