Anarch-cow frees herself
Liberate yourself as far as you can, and you have done your part; for it is not given to every one to break through all limits, or, more expressively: not to every one is that a limit which is a limit for the rest... he who overturns one of his limits may have shown others the way and the means.
-- Max Stirner

“I weep because you cannot save people. You can only love them. You can’t transform them, you can only console them.”
― Anaïs Nin, Nearer the Moon: From "A Journal of Love": The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1937-1939

It is time for us as citizens of the world to regain our strength in the face of adversity. When other people attack us with trucks, with knives, axes, guns, with bombs or airplanes, we should not be sinking into collective depression and panic and asking "Why?!". Instead we should be asking "What can we do?!". Right now, right here, in the middle of it. No more running away from evil, but facing it head-on and standing in its way to protect those behind us.
It is a way not free of sacrifices, it is still a way moistened with tears. But it is the only way for us to stand as one. Not as mere targets, but as free women and men! Together as a people, who do not simply ask that respect be given to our lives and customs, but leave no questions about it at all!
Let it be known, that it is so...
