Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

Death to America
It would be cool if we tried not to apply race science and social darwinism bullshit to animals as a default. The way most nature documentaries go you’d think the entirety of every non-human thought process I’d based solely around fucking or eating. This is of course totally untrue based on easy observations that anyone can make. Animals be doing absolutely unproductive shit ALL THE TIME. Yes, the animals that are better at eating and reproducing have an evolutionary advantage but the animals themselves don’t fucking know that and we should stop acting like everything they do boils down to.those functions. It was bad when we applied it to humans and it doesn’t work for animals either. Genetic taxonomy being THE OFFICIAL method of classifying animals and their relations to one another is also some eugenicist bs. Behavioral patterns in common between similar niches in different biomes is just as useful when doing not archeology. It’s a form of anthropomorphization in how we think of animals and it’s no good as the sole and default way of thinking of natural biology. We’re basing everything off ourselves too much still.
I am procrastinating so much
If you see me on hexbear in the next week, make fun of me
Chuds spent their day being mad at a photo of Sydney Sweeney in a bikini (her body is slightly less than flawless)
yes I’m obviously biased but also there’s a pretty huge fucking difference between an indie game that has 1-3 people working on it from their home(s) and an “indie game” that has 20+ people working out of an office with corporate/producer sponsorship and a considerable (or event existent) marketing budget and I think the language should reflect that difference

I had been joking about my crush calling me a workaholic, but now I kind realize that I shouldn’t just brush it off.
One of my closer family members had told me they’d be visiting a couple months ago and I completely forgot to request the day off. So they’ll be here today and I’m at work doing jackshit. But fuck it, I’m going to leave early. Nothing is happening here and I need to learn to pull myself away from this shit. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and this is one of those moments were I just need to think about my relationships and even my own mental health.
During the Korean War, 82 percent of the massacres were committed by the South Korean forces, 15 percent by the North. 400,000 South Koreans died in the war, an estimated half of them were civilians killed by South Korean forces.

Gusanos met the submissive libertarian and his abusive wife. They had a discussion about universal healthcare in reaction to the shooting.
The takes were: public option needs to exist because private healthcare is still better
other countries are much worse off than the US because they have universal healthcare
one of them had been to the Eastern Bloc countries, Greece, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua where they saw firsthand how inefficient universal healthcare was
Universal healthcare only covers the basics and nothing more, therefore it’s inferior to private health insurance
People who can’t afford the care don’t deserve any and universal healthcare means more taxes which is bad
The best part is the Costa Rica and Nicaragua examples while they’re in Guatemala. Our people are in much worse shape than Costa Rica and Nicaragua. They also live longer.
