Hi.

Technoprimitivism
I believe that, to live a more fulfilling existence, we must return to a more primal state, but also support technology to augment human abilities. I believe in embracing counterculture to return to a more primal state, communities escaping the modern system with scavenging or producing goods for themselves, rewilding, augmentations to better fit people's inclinations, a return to a primal mysticism but combined with scientific rationalism, the potential creation of a global neural network of all life, and that if an AGI is ever developed, it must protect human freedom, humanity as a whole, prevent extreme suffering, protect the ecosystem, and, if not too dangerous, potentially create a system of 'magic' to allow for a wider variety of experiences.

Alter-Globalization
I support alter-globalization as a way to foster global connection, help support people, and not fall behind in the accelerating world of modernity.

Accelerationism
I believe that modernity is inevitably accelerating towards either singularity or collapse and that governments trying to stop that acceleration only results in getting left behind and taken advantage of by faster powers. Preparations must be made for singularity or collapse and one must be initiated if possible and necessary. In the meantime, we must find ways to regain our primal spirit while the tide of modernity continues and see what changes may come.

Synthesis Anarchism
I believe that, for a free humanity, the human spirit must be allowed to flourish as it will, beyond artificial restrictions. I support many different trends of anarchist thought (left-wing, post-left, and right-wing), but am opposed to centralized or centralizing forms of anarchism as centralization and mass society inevitably lead to dauntingly oppressive institutions. As such, I am opposed to anarcho-capitalism, which I view as inevitably leading to centralization.

Environmentalism
I believe that humans have an intrinsic love of "nature" and that we are most fulfilled when we have an intimate relationship with our environment and as such wish to preserve that as much as possible.

Tribalism
I believe that tribal organization is the one our inclinations are most suited to and one that we will find some way to default to, so I believe we will be more fulfilled if we stop resisting those inclinations and embrace tribal organization.

Based
Accelerationism - Understands the nature of modernity. Acid Communism - The idea of capitalist realism provides a great analysis of society and I get the need to imagine new futures. Alter-Globalization - Best way to globalize. Anarchism - No artificial restrictions must be allowed to stifle the flourishing of the human spirit. Anarcho-Totalitarianism - With the current state of humans, drastic actions must be taken to create an anarchic society. Anarcho-Transhumanism - Freedom of form must be ensured as technology continues. Anti-Authoritarianism - Oppressive governments must be resisted. Civil Libertarianism - People must be free to act as they want as long as others are also able to do so. Communitarianism - Humans are social creatures, and the individual is simply the product of their surroundings. Distributism - You could work as a good decentralized market-based economic model. Environmentalism - We must protect our environment to the extent we can. Libertarian Paternalism - How we can influence a more anarchist society without resorting to oppression. Libertarian Socialism - You could also work as a good economic system, if we can find a way to make you compete with capitalism. Machiavellianism - Pragmatism and realism and opportunism must be used to achieve political goals. Minarcho-Socialism - If we must have a state, this is what it should most closely resemble. Mutualism - Another good economic system, if we can get you to compete with capitalism. Philosophical Anarchism - Even if the state can't be abolished, that doesn't give it legitimacy. Piratism - Copyright is one of the greatest stiflers of human storytelling and interaction, along with censorship. If only you were more radical. Post-Anarchism - You provide valuable critiques and insights. Post-Colonial Anarchism - It will be necessary for the peoples of the world to move past the oppression of imperialist civilization. Post-Left Anarchism - Anarchy must not be constrained by left-wing orthodoxies and new areas must be explored. Queer Anarchism - We must explore alternate sexualities beyond civilized restrictions. Anarcho-Nihilism - It's all pointless and we should not be restricted by artificial constructs. That said, some constructs are things humans have a psychological need for, but those must be subordinate to humans, not the other way around. Situationism - You provide valuable critiques and insights. Synthesis Anarchism - Anarchy must be a broad movement taking inspiration from all its aspects. Technogaianism - In a post-singularity world, one of the functions of technology must be to preserve the ecosystem and our connection to it.

Welfarism - Any society must look out for all of its members. Zero Accelerationism - A good analysis of accelerationism to collapse. Eco-Anarchism - Combines two of my political passions. Cyberocracy - Humans cannot be trusted to govern themselves in the long run. Illegalism - The state calls its own violence law and that of the individual crime.

Independence Anarchism - Down with empires! Religious Anarchism - Spirituality must be freed from orthodoxy and state interference. Social Anarchism - If we must have a mass society, this is the best way to organize it. Post-Industrialism - Hopefully, all of humanity can one day outgrow industrialism. Market Anarchism - What an anarchist mass society must follow to not get left behind under the accelerating world order.

Bringe
Agrarianism - An agrarian lifestyle is more fulfilling than an industrial one, but you simply are not feasible in our current day and age. Maybe after a collapse or singularity, you will work. Anarcho-Conservatism - I agree with the need to preserve traditions without the state, but conservatism just isn't feasible in a constantly changing world. Anarcho-Primitivism - I agree with your criticism of civilization and the need for rewilding, but returning to the past just isn't feasible. Bookchin Communalism - You have many good ideas, but you're too narrow and judgmental. Cosmicism - I agree with cosmic nihilism and the need to protect humanity in an uncaring cosmos, but you're far too racist, authoritarian, and classist for my tastes. Deep Ecology - Nature is intrinsically valuable according to most human values, but human values will be human-centered because humans are the ones valuing them. Egoism - I agree with some of your ideas, but the ego is itself just a spook. Enlightenment - You did a great job at upending old orthodoxies, but your ideas have become themselves oppressive orthodoxies. Fourth Theory - I like the idea of basing politics on dasein, but you're too conservative and authoritarian for my tastes. Hive-Mind Collectivism - I like the idea of neural networks but not the total eradication of individuality. Neoluddism - I agree with your critique of technology, but your ideas are completely unfeasible. Pagan Theocracy - I agree with the need to return to a more pagan spirituality, but theocracy is oppressive orthodoxy, no matter the flavor. Platformism - I agree with your methods for an inner circle, but not an outer circle. Panarchism - I agree with you in principle, but actions must be taken to ensure no voluntary organizations get too big or the cycle of statist oppression will simply start again. Primal Primitivism - We should embrace our animal instincts, but we cannot abandon our humanity. Progressive Conservatism - I like you in theory, but most of your real world variants are way too liberal. Pan-Germanicism - I like the idea of unity of Germanic peoples, but not under a state and not in a chauvinistic way. Scientocracy - Science should guide policy-making, but as a process, not as an institution. Social Darwinism - Survival of the fittest is true, but we are social animals with nurturing instincts as well and there is strength in numbers. Traditionalism - Tradition is intrisically valuable, but you are far too stubborn to survive in modern society. Futurism - I like everything about you except your hatred of tradition. Post-Humanism - I agree with radically altering humanity as we evolve, but we must retain that spirit at the core of our experience. World Federalism - Humanity must unite, but not under a state structure. Nationalism, especially Cultural Nationalism - Cultural pride is great, but you're often too chauvinistic. Globalism - You may be necessary and inevitable, but that doesn't mean I have to like you. Left-Accelerationism - Cool analysis, but you're too technocratic for my tastes. Right-Accelerationism - Cool analysis, but capitalism is something that must and will someday end. Gender Accelerationism - Cool analysis. May or may not be right, I don't know. Unconditional Accelerationism - I agree with most of your theory, but there is still a place and necessity for positive organization. Posadism and Bio-Posadism - It's possible nuclear war or mass pandemic might be inevitable and it might possibly lead to a better world, but it also might just lead to extinction or new forms of tyranny. Anarcho-Individualism - You're mostly agreeable in practice, but individualism is a fundamentally flawed outlook. Crypto-Anarchism - The digital world must be set free as well as the physical world. But it must also be limited due to the negative effect of extensive internet use on the human psyche. Total Liberationism - I support freedom for all sentience, but some hierarchy is inevitable, and life is harsh and often violence. Industrialism - You are extremely brutal and destructive, but unfortunately still necessary. Radical Environmentalism - I agree with your ideas in theory, but sadly it is unfeasibly in the current time.

Cringe

Neoliberalism - The system that is oppressing the human spirit in the modern day and will only get worse if not outgrown. Imperialism - You would destroy diversity and the free human spirit for your rigid ideals or your insatiable greed. Corporatocracy - A soulless cancerous nightmare. At least states have to put up some minute degree of concern for something beyond profit. Anti-Environmentalism - You're insane. Decelerationism - The longer we exist in this current state, the more irreparable damage will be done to the biosphere and the noosphere.
