We're born into, and swimming in a dense sea of lies and manipulation through misinformation, emotional appeals and coercion. We're infused with centuries, if not millennia, of conditioning that serves the agenda of elite power structures.

This reality seems to be missed or ignored by those who insist on anarchism being explained in 500 words or less in a way that everyone will embrace, by those who insist that human nature is our real enemy, by those who insist that any kind of agriculture or human society is inevitably destructive to nature, by those who can't imagine how anyone could possibly vote for Trump, by those who think that police are a necessary evil.

There is SO MUCH that has to be conceptually deconstructed before most people can even begin to grasp the possibilities of human existence beyond the nightmare we're currently embedded in.
