Out with friend and fellow voluntaryist @nicksikorski last night for a buffet dinner with the beautiful @mslight2016st, and then a night of food and drink on the town.

It’s always good to know you’re not alone. We talked fears, doubts, confidence, misgivings, trade, community, and the asininity that is “civilization” built upon the violent force. Most importantly, we talked about voluntaryists we both respect standing their ground regardless of endless vague—and sometimes explicit—threats from the criminal class, i.e. “government.”

On top of the world, in Niigata, Japan.

For those that don’t know Nick, he’s a permaculturist and organic farmer based in Nagano, Japan. We talked a bit about @steemcityniigata, and setting up voluntaryist networks in Japan for trade, barter, support and information.

A good night was had. Now it’s off to the next phase, which is donning a Japanese loin cloth and running to a Shinto shrine for a good luck mosh pit, and no, I’m not really joking at all. See this post for more.

Stay tuned...

Peace, Love, and Anarchy!

Is nice to see you drinking the drink of the Gods!
Have you ever been to the Scottish highlands? I don't think you'd ever leave, the whiskey is like manna dude. Everyone has its own subtle nuances. Take a trip there when you have the chance mate, you won't regret it, it'll be a shit load cheaper than in Japan too.
You'll be like a kid in a candy store I guarantee it!

Oh man I would love to. Never been over that way. Definitely a dream (dram?) of mine!

One of my favorite things is hanging out with fellow voluntaryists in meat space. That's why I go to Anarchapulco. Not to see celebritarians speak, but to experience chilling with some of the best humans in the world, all at once. I love it.

Have fun naked icediving.

Kinda makes you feel sane again, right? I totally understand.

The Hadaka Matsuri was great. Gonna write a post about it either tonight or tomorrow.

Cheers, @lesliestarrohara!
