Drew my main theriotype!!

[saruvanthewhite]

My truck is legal.

My truck was legally parked.

My truck hadn’t been in the same spot even 48 hours.

I wasn’t leaving trash, setting up a ‘yard’, or other ʎʇʇᴉɥs behavior like running loud AF generator…all night.

The SFPD/SFMTA are simply waging war on the unhoused.

I work here.

I pay into the economy here.

I pay for my SFMTA MUNI rides instead of hopping turnstiles or ignoring the clipper tag like a lot of unhoused folk and a fair percentage of others regularly do. I park legally, get around honestly, and don’t bother anyone with nonsense or BS. I stay in my lane.

My children live here. I stay close for them.

I had housing up until nearly five and a half years ago.

The city didn’t bother me while I had housing.

Now I don’t. I have a truck as what was meant to be a temporary housing situation. Very temporary.

I lived here for fifteen years and the city loved me, and I it. Fifteen years a roof and a place to hang a hat.

Divorce and financial hardship changed that.

I am still the same guy. I’m older (this life ages you) and I’m physically older anyway. The same adopted local who went to school, married, labored, divorced, labored more and ended up unhoused in this city.

My kids are growing up here and live with their mother. They are the third generation to be born here.

There’s no illicit activity. No drugs (mehbe a bit of medical MJ) of the scary sort, certainly no alcohol. No shady ʇıɥs going on.

I’m just trying to live my life…work hard to support my children…stay near them to still be present…and maybe begin to get out of the cesspit of despair this ƃuıʞɔnɟ city seems determined to kick me further down into.

This ƃuıʞɔnɟ city which I love, it would seem to my own detriment, which happens to be named after St Francis of Assisi. You know. The guy who was all about helping the poor and fed birds at his monastery or some ʇıɥs?

Now San Francisco is a mockery of its namesake with how it treats its unhoused.

This is the third time I’ve been unjustly harassed like this. Specifically for parking longer than 72hrs but having been there for less than 48; All since the city decided the undesirables had to go.

And all I want to do is stay here for my kids and return to a housed situation. I’m working hard in hopes to do that but have been stymied at every turn. But I still work and have hope I can find a roof and four walls with a place of peace to return at the end of the day and have my kids with me half the time, like a normal broken family!

I don’t like living vanlife. I’m good at it but that doesn’t mean it’s good for me long-term. But it’s better than being on the street. SF REALLY hates you if you live there. I just wish they didn’t make it so difficult on people trying to bootstrap it.

ʞɔnɟ the Taraval station and their heartless ʇᴉɥsllnq policy of blindly targeting the struggling families out here.

Most of us living in our cars and trucks work jobs in town the city would collapse into disrepair without. We don’t make enough to even have a room there. But we work there and our city is better for it. But all the SFMTA, the SFPD, and their campaigning overlords in City Hall care about is making us just disappear.

"Blessed are the meek. For they shall inherit the earth."

Matthew 5:5

-

The meek can have the Earth. Look at the state the meek have left the Earth in. Everything is a disaster. Nature is being destroyed.  Everyone has some kind of condition. We can't breathe each other's air anymore. Humans have become a malignancy. "Civilization" has become a cancer. Our ideologies are illness.

But fear not - The Earth will eventually reset the balance. My eyes may not see it, but I feel a great satisfaction in knowing that the reckoning is coming. The only solution now is annihilation. Then things can start anew. Possibly without humans at all.

And so, for now, meek ones - the earth is yours. Enjoy your manifestation. Hails to those who find beauty in the cruelty of Mother Nature. The whole of humanity shall suffer all it deserves.

Why this extreme pull to both music and politics (Stalinism)?  People know we are sick, and we give a fuck. Thats what we live(die) for... stalinismen. We hate does 'PEACE,LOVE and DEMOCRAZY'-ideas. WAR, SODOMY and DICTATION! We support all extreme and opressed states like the old ALBANIEN , IRAN , KAMPUCHEA under the RED KHMEERS and so on. People who are dying and suffering!

Do you sill believe in communism after the fall of it nearly all over the world? We have studied so much politics/teori/economy (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin , Mao, Hoxha) that we know that the world will sooner or later become communistic. Its the marketing economy and capitalisms ideas that will be forced forward sooner or later. Maybe in 30yrs, maybe in 300yrs. The problem is that communism is fucking good for the people, its total freedom. Thats why we never wish that it happens. The world can go to hell. We want back the old stalinist-dictatorship, there its was grey, misery and evil. THE BERLIN WALL SHALL RISE AGAIN!!

Are you yourself politicly active?  We were member of a parti who was very extreme, they supported the old Albanien and there former leader who even was in Kampuchea under the Red Khmeers and ate dinner with Pol Pot! Incredibly good! But the party turned to humanitarien, so we shall leave it.

Foucault's antihumanism in The Order of Things: we can only answer with a philosophical laugh — which means, to a certain extent, a silent one.

Antihumanist Truthful Assessment and Guide to Cradle's Humanity

Humanity: Union, and the other cultures that trace a cultural lineage to to Cradle, Union, or one of its member states. This connection may conscious, or subconscious.

Human: A citizen-being that adheres to the general cultural and political beliefs of a Cradle-adhering society(Humanity).

Human-Categorized Being: A being that the average, randomly selected Unionite or other human-citizen would categorize as "human", generally based on biological, ontological, and subjectivity characteristics and standards of origin as determined by the ruling Union Committee and enforced by its member states and the beliefs of its constituents.

Human-Categorized-Beings are at the top of the hierarchy of rights, sympathy, and autonomy: they are person-categorized beings by default, and enjoy the highest degree of rights and autonomy within Human Society. Human-Categorization is often conflated with Person-Categorization, and is considered to be a default existence, with others existing in relation to Human-Categorization.

Person-Categorized Being: A being that the average, randomly selected Unionite or other human-citizen would categorize as a "person", generally based on observational intelligence and interactability standards. Person-categorization is regulated by Union, and enforced by its member states and the beliefs of its constituents.

Person-Categorized-Beings are at the middle of the hierarchy of rights and autonomy. Personhood is a conditional spectrum that consists of numerous Subcategories, based on adherence to the criteria of Union or an equivalent Hegemon or local enforcement body. Person-Categorized Beings may have their rights, autonomy, or priorities truncated or diminished to favor Human Categorized beings. Deimosian-Categorized Being: A being commonly referred to as an NHP (Non-Human Person). These are typically incorporeal beings defined by their relationship to Humans and their exclusion from Human-Categorization (the highest in the hierarchy of available needs and rights). Deimosian-Categorized beings are designed, produced, or cultivated to maintain the expansion and infrastructure of Union and it's member states. This term may also include any and all manner of incorporeal or artificial person-categorized minds unconnected or unrelated to the Deimos Event.

Pagan Theatrics: “Libidinal Materialism”, Machinic Vitalism, and Anti-Humanism.

“It should be recalled that Fichte made of the “Wissenschafslehre” [Science of Knowledge] a supple instrument for thought’s most various tasks. This idea of a plastic philosophical instrument has its origin in Kant and Critique, obviously, but it doesn’t find its fulfilled form until Eternal return, the only process that is transformed along with its materials and which is consumed/consummated on the spot in order to go further: a machinic process, a power of metamorphosis that can be “specified” as textual, a process of production, reproduction and consumption of signs that has put structuralism and linguistics six thousand feet under and that immanently entails the criteria of the distinction between textual gadgets and textuale machines.” (Francois Laruelle - Introduction to “Textual Machines” 1976)*

        This quote from Francois Laruelle comes from a work that bears a striking similarity to Jean-Francois Lyotard’s “Libidinal Economy”, released just two years before the work quoted above. Both thinkers were attempting to synthesize Marx, Freud, Lacan, and Nietzsche (as well as other favorites of French post-war theory such as Sade, Klossowski, Derrida, Deleuze, etc.) into an anti-humanistic Machinic Vitalism shorn of all vestiges of what they saw as Christian guilt and morality that still clung to modern thought. “[A] machinic process, a power of metamorphosis that can be “specified” as textual, a process of production, reproduction and consumption of signs that has put structuralism and linguistics six thousand feet under . . .” The brief period of post-1968 Machinic Vitalism (I prefer Machinic Vitalism to Libidinal Materialism as the heavy influence of Nietzsche and Deleuze prevents this from being a form of materialism) arguably ends with Deleuze and Guattari’s “A Thousand Plateaus” (1980), Lyotard only writes one more “Machinic Vitalist” book (Duchamp’s TRANS/formers, 1977) before abandoning the theme and becoming a follower of Wittgenstein, and Laruelle abandons this position in 1981 (Philosophy I, 1971-1981). The full library of Machinic Vitalism would include, Klossowski’s “Living Currency” (1970), Deleuze and Guattari’s “Anti-oedipus” (1972), Lyotard's “Libidinal Economy” (1974), and Jean Baudrillard’s “Symbolic Exchange and Death” (1976). I believe the reason for Machinic Vitalism’s brief life span is due to the apparent dead end it reaches in its attempt to overturn Kantian humanism (consider the more careful and measured tone of ATP compared to AO). 

        Libidinal Economy differs from Textual Machines in that Lyotard remains more faithful to psychoanalysis than Laruelle does in that he replaces the Lacanian castrated subject with a “libidinal band” (a dispositif or arrangement), a psychotic mobius strip drive circuit without an ego or unconscious, while Laruelle leaves behind the subject through the impersonal will to power-as-libido. By forgoing subject (or ego) and unconscious, Lyotard, as well as Laruelle, assembles a libidinal textual machine powered by Nietzsche's will to power/eternal return read through Freud's death drive (the compulsion to repeat) that forgoes all questions of meaning and representation and overturns the subject in favor of the endless circulation of impersonal acephalic pre-individual intensities. In Deleuze and Guattari’s “Anti-Oedipus” (1972), the will to power as desiring production is still reigned in by the ethics of power as (potencia), a joyful Spinozistic affirmation of creativity and experimentation, rather than the will to power as a greater degree of power subjugating a lesser degree of power, as it is for Lyotard and Laruelle:

“So you thereby challenge Spinozist or Nietzschean ethics, which separate movements of being-more from those of being less, of action and reaction? - Yes, let us dread to see the reappearance of a whole morality or politics under the cover of these dichotomies, their sages, their militants, their tribunals, and their prisons. . . Not good and bad intensities, then, but intensity or its decompression. And as has been said and will be said again, both dissimulated together, meaning hidden in emotion, vertigo in reason. Therefore no morality at all, rather a theatrics; no politics, rather a conspiracy.” (Libidinal economy pg 42) 

        Machinic vitalism introduces Nietzsche’s naturalism to Freud’s energetic theory of the drives and creates an intensive Machinic-Naturalism that reveals the inhuman, impersonal mechanisms at work in both Freud and Nietzsche. The dead end of Machinic Vitalism and its psychotic form of animism comes from the fact that psychosis is a symptom of foreclosure (Verwerfung). This foreclosure comes from the insistence of Nietzsche and his followers (Lyotard and Laruelle, amongst others) on absolute immanence, whereby being (nature in this case) is one. To say that nature is one is to say that there is only the will to power as a greater degree of power subjugating a lesser degree of power, and all individual things, subjects, signs, and traces are just greater or lesser degrees of this power. I characterize this as a foreclosure because if nature is truly all one, then not only do we live in a completely deterministic universe in which nothing we do matters, but more importantly, we also can't act in any way whatsoever as we have no free will and can only hope to affirm a will to power that is completely indifferent to us. This is why Kant in the “Critique of Pure Reason” finds the basis for human freedom in the distance at which the human subject approaches being. If it wasn't for this distance between thinking and being the subject would not be able to make decisions and choose how it goes about approaching and making sense of the world it inhabits. If the subject was absolutely immanent to being and existed on the same plane as the things in themselves, there would be no need for language, concepts, or reason. Most importantly, this is the crucial difference between sapience, reason and freedom and mere mechanistic (natural) existence or sentience. “The conduct of man, so long as his nature remained as it is now, would be changed into mere mechanism, where, as in a puppet show, everything would gesticulate well but no life would be found in the figures.” (CPR 152-153) To truly overturn humanism, is to insist not that humans are indistinguishable from the rest of nature as a mechanistic totality, but rather that to be human and to think is to always be artificial and to be at a remove from nature and what is “natural”. To be human is not to have a nature but to have a history.

        Nietzsche’s narrative in “The Genealogy of Morals” (prehistoric man/beasts of prey > aristocrats > bad conscience > nihilism/ubermensch >) is a cyclical transhistorical mechanism that subsumes human culture and history under nature as will to power. Machinic Vitalism has escaped Kantian humanism at the cost of creating a self enclosed mechanistic universe where nothing ever changes. This leaves next to nothing for Machinic Vitalism to work towards or attempt to solve and leaves its followers with three options: 

Follow Lyotard (and Deleuze) back into a less radical post-Kantianism still under the sway of the linguistic turn and abandon any or all political ambitions.

Stay with Machinic Vitalism and follow Nick Land and the Accelerationists and adopt a hard determinism that makes political change seem near impossible and only leaves open political options on the far right.

Follow Laruelle and abandon Machinic Vitalism in favor of realism and/or transcendental materialism.

 Machinic Vitalism as an attempt to overturn Kantian humanism in favor of a post-human pagan pantheistic naturalism was, in the end, unsuccessful but produced a unique approach to overcoming the limitations of bourgeois humanism that has gone on to influence thinkers like Mark Fisher, Ray Brassier, and Reza Negarestani. The term "Pagan" was originally used by Christians like Augustine as a blanket term for the multiplicity of non Abrahamic polytheistic religions in continental Europe. Much like these original "Pagans", what I call Pagan Naturalism does not refer to a conscious affinity between thinkers or a historically defined period of time, but is rather a blanket terms for pre, post, or anti Kantian conceptions of nature that take the shape of various forms and configurations of absolute immanence, panpsychism, and or pantheism that fail to recognize or reject the existence of the distance between thinking and being. This would also include thinkers with no familial resemblance to Nietzsche, like Spinoza, Whitehead, the Neoplatonists, Giordano Bruno, Michel Serres, etc. Machinic Vitalism is merely a particular anti-human variation of Pagan Naturalism that emphasizes the continuity of the organic and the inorganic.

Hi guys. I made a reddit post explaining my experience with being an alterhuman (therian)

Can someone please read into it and help me?

It all feels so surreal. It's like I'm going through figuring out I'm trans all over again, all the confusion, the want, the agony, the pain, the anger, it's all too much right now, especially since it's so much more confusing than just gender.

It's something I feel like only I have experienced and it makes me feel so alienated.

I feel so utterly alone

Edit; reddit is being weird so here's the text;

Species dysphoria?

Hi, I'm a newly awakened alterhuman or therian to be specific.

I'm just a bit worried because my experience feels so much more powerful and effective than other therians I've seen.

I know its oversaturated online, and it's so much more complex than it's portrayed, but with how it affects me, I just feel like I'm so much different than the other people in my own community, like I don't even belong.

I guess it's because being an alterhuman and feeling inhuman just affects me so much and takes such a nasty toll on my mental well being that u can't help but feel like I was cursed to have it harder than others.

I'm not too into lycanthropy, and by what I mean by that is that I'm not as knowledgeable on it than therianthropy and the like. But it sounds almost appealing to me, like it's something I can resonate with but it also doesn't sound like me at all.

My experience with my body, with dysphoria, dysmorphia, it's all been hell for me and I can't find any thing to soothe myself.

So if anyone can help, give me advice, lead me in the right direction, for someone to tell me I'm normal and not insane, please do so.

Here, I'm going to say what I feel and what's been developing over the years;;

So when I was younger, I may or may not have shown signs of some neurodivergancy of some kind. I'm not sure what I have, could be autism, could be just me being weird, who knows. But I definitely didn't grow out of some of my weird kid habits. It's always been a struggle for me to grow up in general and let go of childish things. That's probably why I still have stuffed animals in my bed at nearly 18 years old.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, anyways, I used to feel very strong urges to be like an animal as a kid. It's normal kid stuff, yeah, but it never went away. Over the years it turned into wearing blotchy fursuits and meowing at my teachers and pretending to wag my invisible tail to me having extreme delusions.

Now, it's not just a silly kid thing. It's something, a thing, a creature inside of me that's angry at my body and that nothing lines up.

I feel like im going crazy the longer I deal with this, like every year passes by and I become more and more aware of how everything's wrong and nothing is perfect or even near that. I used to be able to deal with it, it was fine years ago when I was 15 and happy with myself. I understood that I had a spiritual body inside of me that didn't match up, but I didn't realize it'd haunt me later on and I'd become insane over the fact that it's all wrong.

It all feels like gender dysphoria, which I do deal with as a trans man. But instead of just being my gender and how my organs and body parts and voice and whatever don't line up with being masculine like I want, it's everything all at once.

My eyes, my hair, my legs, my feet, my nails, my teeth, my jaw, my arms, everything. Just from head to toe, everything is misshapen beyond beleif and I don't understand why I feel this way.

I can't snarl or growl like I want, I can't move my ears at the sound of a noise far away, I can't wag or curl my tail, I can feel my wings move on my back, I can't retract my claws, I can't see in the dark.

All my human senses, all my human feelings don't overlap with my animalistic ones. Whatever being is inside of me is constantly in a state of distress, anger, anxiety, sorrow, all because I'm a human in a human body.

It's like some evil celestial being put the soul of everything inhuman into a human body and told them to pretend to like it when it's just agony to deal with.

I'm in agony and it won't go away.

This thing inside of me is hurt.

[slayercain]

[...] it is not only a body that is stolen but also the becoming of the slave: the slave’s future perfect state of being. The black(ened) are, therefore, defined as plastic: impressionable, stretchable, and misshapen to the point that the mind may not survive—it potentially goes wild. We are well beyond alienation, exploitation, subjection, domestication, and even animalization; we can only describe such transmogrification as a form of engineering. Slavery’s technologies were not the denial of humanity but the plasticization of humanity. [...] “The slave” is paradigmatically that which shall be appropriated by emerging demands of the reigning order, as needed, with no regard for the potential irreparable effects of ontological slippage. Arguably, plasticization is the fundamental violation of enslavement: not any one particular form of violence—animalization or objectification, for instance—but rather coerced formlessness as a mode of domination and the Unheimlich existence that is its result.

Why this extreme pull to both music and politics (Stalinism)?  People know we are sick, and we give a fuck. Thats what we live(die) for... stalinismen. We hate does 'PEACE,LOVE and DEMOCRAZY'-ideas. WAR, SODOMY and DICTATION! We support all extreme and opressed states like the old ALBANIEN , IRAN , KAMPUCHEA under the RED KHMEERS and so on. People who are dying and suffering!

Do you sill believe in communism after the fall of it nearly all over the world? We have studied so much politics/teori/economy (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin , Mao, Hoxha) that we know that the world will sooner or later become communistic. Its the marketing economy and capitalisms ideas that will be forced forward sooner or later. Maybe in 30yrs, maybe in 300yrs. The problem is that communism is fucking good for the people, its total freedom. Thats why we never wish that it happens. The world can go to hell. We want back the old stalinist-dictatorship, there its was grey, misery and evil. THE BERLIN WALL SHALL RISE AGAIN!!

This was prev-tagged "#inscrutable inscriptions" and sometimes I see tags like that and think, "wow, I wish I could process these things with fresh naive eyes, instead of instantly recognizing the messages as if the context was universally obvious." This guy is talking about temptation from a Christian perspective, breaking down the knowable threats into two categories: threats from without (the world) and threats from within (the flesh). At best, the goal is to keep yourself from tempting situations where you would be fighting both the world and the flesh at the same time. This is why Mike Pence refuses to be alone with any woman who isn't his wife. At its most grim though, Christians may conclude that both aspects need to be subjugated, until complete safety in all places creates complete safety of travel - a mandate for the purification and erasure of anything they deem mentally intoxicating. If there's no strip clubs or gay people or alcohol, a good Christian man can stop fighting the tug in his heart, the whisper of the flesh that the savory things of this world are just a moonlit drive away.

You'll notice that this picture also implies unknowable enemies. You might wonder: besides inside and outside, what else could be left? But those are inside and outside on our material plane. Without seeing the upcoming graphics, I would guess that the unknowable enemy is the spiritual one, the devil. Unpredictable, creative, smarter than you and a whole lot older. The knowable enemies are just the ways we humans will find to hang ourselves, given the rope to do so and a little privacy. The Christian perspective is that we are not just fighting our individual and collective natures, but also an organized and strategic supernatural faction, who cannot be beaten without invoking the power and assistance of an even stronger organized and strategic supernatural faction.

So basically, if you looked at this frame and got the impression of a Lovecraftian cultist, you're not particularly wrong? We have them! It's normalized in our society. We have people afraid of their own flesh, and the world (that's us), and a layer of supernatural reality that nobody can see - and they're acting on that fear, seeking refuge and escape from every single bit of it by declaring fealty to the oldest god they know how to name. They're trying to achieve those literally antihuman goals through political power, and if you think they can't get that power or won't exercise it, look at Florida right now. The only thing missing is the robes.

Revel in the world and revel in the flesh, because the time we're given to enjoy these things is too short, and because the cult can only fool you if they can make you fear the pleasures.

Lancer Metafiction! Have a few stories from the setting for my campaign settings.

So here's some fictional work by a fictional poet I made up for my setting representing her political ideology, Antihumanism. If you like it just let us know and we can post more. "His Table," and "What is the Purpose," by Guzman-Alessandra Evyln, Sunrise Gate Poet and Red-Dwarf Starchildren representative. His Table, “The hegemonist tells me I am human, too, yet when he says what human is, it is always wrong, always superficial, always changing. He has not known me more than a moment’s word, but declares me without consideration to be like him, that I sit at his table. I am not fooled, however; I know I am not welcome at his Hegemonist’s table, that the inhuman creature he describes is me, that the Hegemonist’s coils squeeze an image of my brief utterances and superficial presentation into a shape meant to represent my history, my truth, and my destiny. I know I do not hold the privilege of his Humanity. So then, if I am not a human, only a being subject to the violence of his coiled perception, then I must be antihuman. It is the only conclusion I can draw. I will take up the blade of my thought, and sever the roots this Humanity spreads from. It is the only way to defeat a Hegemonist. What is the Purpose? Why does the Union care about what a person is? A unionite humanist will tell you that union cares so that it can ensure that person has rights. It feels good to say and imagine, so it feels true. It feels right. It feels good to the unionite human and so that is where their thoughts end, mired by a comforting coil of thickened serpent bodies.

They do not follow the coils to untangle. They do not wonder where their serpents end: if union cares to identify persons so that it can give them rights, then they must also care to identify what non persons are, so they can strip those rights. That is how the blade of language sculpts you. It might seem ridiculous to say, to think, but ask yourself how many times personhood has been a debate. Ask yourself how many homunculi exist. Ask yourself why the only defense against cruelty is being a person, or being a human." Guzman-Alessandra Evyln, Sunrise Gate Poet and Red-Dwarf Starchildren representative.
