Ten thousand years ago, in the Fertile Crescent of south west Asia, under the watchful eyes of the gods of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, an animal that had existed for 190,000 years in a state of egalitarian bliss was corrupted and enslaved by something truly evil.
Agriculture had come to be, and with it the concept of ownership, and civilisation. From that day on, a species of hairless apes began to believe that it was above the other plants and animals of the world, not simply another cog in the ecology of the planet.
Hegemony had come to be.
With belief of superiority over the other species in place, it was simple to extend that to members of their own species.
Domination.
And domination destroys happiness, chains us to the grindstone, forces us to sell ourselves for 5 an hour. No human can ever be truly happy in this prison, yet we are indoctrinated from birth to believe that this is the best way to be. That we can only be happy if we have cars and televisions and power stations and nuclear war. Can't forget war, war is another product purely of civilisation.
The time has come to walk away. Let the planet take our cities, and tear them down with root and branch. Civilisation is a dead end, its only products are misery, hate, greed, envy, violence, oppression. We must return to the state of animal-plant symbiosis that existed on the plains of Africa, fifty thousand years ago.
We must remember the truth.
Separation and heterogeneity is illusion. All is one.
