Feels really good to work out your shit in public so thank you
Uh, I think everyone should do it a little bit more, work out your shit in public, 'cause it helps, right?
Uh, I tried to move out onto a commune, um, and the commune was in rural Arkansas
And, um, uh, it was really a lovely place that'd been there since the '70s
A thing that they don't tell you about anarchists when you read about 'em is that they're disorganized
Um, and, uh, I did not successfully move out onto this commune
Um, in part because of that disorganization
But I did fall in love with the rural ozarks, I figured out, uh
And I figured out why, it's because it takes a little piecе of intellectual freedom that you have been—, that wе lose
It's not fun to be from a place that has been totally divest of social and civic services for, like, a hundred-and-fifty years, right?
It's not fun, uh, to live in a place that got electrified in the 1950s, twenty years after the electrification projects began, right?
It's not fun to be in a place that just now got the internet, right?
Um, but there is something that is awesome out there
And it is the fact, uh, that you become a free thinker because you have to be, right?
If you wanna pave a road—, if you want paved roads, you gotta pave the road
If you want there to be a fire department, congratulations, you are now the fire department, right?
Uh, that kind of radical self-reliance really rubbed off on me, I wanted it to rub off on me
Because I was raised by Spongebob Squarepants and the Nintendo 64
I remember asking 'em, "So like, are you guys, like, uh, libertarians or anarchists? What are you?
Are you so far to the right you came out on the left? Like, what's the deal?"
And, uh, they just are like, "It's hay season"
It's time to help everybody do their hay
Um, so
I fell in love out there too
This is a song about all that, it's called "Critterland"
