Ha, that´s clearly not what I was saying.
"the only revolution there´s going to be is what you create in your own life and for the people around you by creating alternatives to normal shitty lives"
"...creating autonomous living, eating, working, etc solutions, such as that going on in the DIY punk scene, squatting, housing collectives, permaculture and so on. Basically providing places for you and other people who care about how fucked everything is to exist and survive and for others to seek out when they get pissed off with "the system"."
This apparently = "everyone for themselves".
Yeeees...
I believed in large-scale social change when I was younger, but basically ended up extremely depressed wlaking around hating everyone going "fuck all of youse, yis don´t give a shit about anyone except yourselves". I still feel the same about social issues, the difference being that I now think that the social forces that keep things going the way they are cannot be changed by protest, vote, or boycott. They can only be changed by a global epdemic of disease or possibly nuclear warfare. Humans are scumbags who will fuck each other over for the remainder of history for the crumbs of the rich, this won´t ever change. We will wipe ourselves out and hopefully the no-human animals will remain. If not, evolution will perhaps start over at the beginning and things might go differently, or else the whole hilarious charade will repeat itself indefinitely.
This does not mean I will not oppose the bastards who hold us down and are responsible for this state of affairs, I´ll still fight them tooth and nail. But I don´t expect any change. What I would rather do is focus my energy on providing real lives for as many people as possible, those who ave woken up and similarly oppose this system. Basically I just think people should treat others as they wish to be treated themselves, and even if I think all humans are shit, I´m still going to be as kind as I can to them.
