Terrorarium

Plantation.  In English law.  Colony: An original settlement in a new country.  Ant Farm.

Plantations have NEVER been about Bananas or Sugar Cane or Tobacco but by definition they are plantations of People.

Autonomy.  the right or condition of self-government.   In developmental psychology and moral, political, and bioethical philosophy, autonomy is the capacity to make an informed, uncoerced decision.

When I was a kid growing up in Chicago there were a couple of kids in the neighborhood with a malevolent streak.  You know the type: Frying ants on the sidewalk with a really big magnifying glass; pulling the wings off of flies – the green and blue bottle carrion flies were a favorite – and if the hair on your head was long enough, they would pull out your hair, catch a fly, tie a noose around its neck with the hair, then entertain themselves with it buzzing around on its leash.  No doubt in my mind those kids grew up to be stellar parents, cops, or even congressmen.

What it is: is about Control. 

I also knew kids who had Ant Farms in their bedrooms.  Thankfully, these behaviors were foreign to me because I wasn’t into torturing insects – I found them fascinating – I had no need for ants in my bedroom because there were plenty in my lawn – and I didn’t like mean kids because they tormented other kids as well.  Many kids would stomp worms or caterpillars on the sidewalks – just because.  None of these behaviors served any purpose.  The Monsters just did it because no one stopped them.  There’s a difference between being a Voyeur because you appreciate the elegance and beauty of a dragon or damselfly vs. suffocating them with chemicals then pinning them to foam in a box with mothballs for a letter on a piece of paper given by state-sponsored mind control operatives - or just because mini Vlad the Impalers like home collections with carcinogenic paradichlorobenzene in their bedrooms.

We used to collect fireflies in jars back in the days when there were still those lifeforms on this planet, but we were raised to let them go before we came in for the night.  The decent kids I hung around with would be heartsick if they saw a jar of the beloved fireflies with a lid on the next day thus the creatures were dead.  That is why we changed from using lids to just our hands so that we would not make that mistake again.  No doubt in my mind those kids grew up to be dis-integrated from Society, activists, and Stewards of the Earth.  

“Anti-social” Is not an epithet if we listen to the genius of John Trudell:

“The Great Lie is that it is ‘civilization’. It’s not civilized, it has been literally the most bloodthirsty brutalizing system ever imposed upon this planet. That is NOT civilization that’s “the great lie.” … The great lie is that it represents ‘CIVILIZATION’. That’s the great lie, or if it does represent civilization and it’s truly what civilization is; then the great lie is that civilization is good for us.”

What it is: is about Captivity vs. Autonomy.
Systemic, Industrialized, Individualized Captivity and Control of Human Capital under Sadistic, Psychopathic, Biocidal Maniacs.

Is THIS the world you want to exist in?
