In case you missed it, the ruling class has declared war on everyone else. They didn’t broadcast it on the nightly news, the President or the Prime Minister didn’t go on national television and make an official declaration of war, but nevertheless this war is real, and it’s happening right now. And guess what else? You can’t run away and there’s no safe place to hide, the clowns in power will track you down and take you out because they don’t care about national boundaries or international rules. From Chile to Greece and back to China, your country or your language or color, it doesn’t matter anymore; and the longer we wait to fight back, the tougher the war is going to be to win.

Unless you want to be locked in a stifling room sewing underpants for five cents an hour when you’re 65 in a ‘Free Trade Zone’ surrounded by razor-wire, with some junta Army colonel jabbing you in the back with a bayonet, you’d better get your ass in gear now. And the FTZ factory is where you, and the people you care about, are going to end up if they’re lucky.

We didn’t start this war, it was unilaterally declared on everyone on the planet, animal plant and human, not rich enough to rent a temporary exemption. But now we have two options: either give up and get crushed, or fight back any way and every way that we possibly can. Write a blog, get a Twitter account and use it, make a scene in front of a bank or government office, and if they shoot at you then shoot back. Even if you're not directly involved, report what you see and hear.

Call yourself an anarchist, communist, Satanist, I don’t even really care right now; half the point of Nihilism is to go beyond ideological impediments anyway. So, if you aren’t making the effort to fight this economic, religious, and political war that has been declared against us, don’t wait any longer. And if you have been doing something to help supersede this corrupt and brutal ruling class and dysfunctional cultural order, thank you and keep it up.

The Network for Nihilism is an experimental effort to be your eyes and ears for Nihilism and related actions and events around the world. This page consists of feeds of messages concerning actions and events primarily focused on nihilism. This can include anything from a protest witnessed or involved in, to a movie or website seen that has a relation to nihilism.

To get a sense of the effort underway here, consider three keywords:

Awareness, Warning, Participation

• Awareness of critical events and information

• Warning of impending actions by authorities (top-down) or by groups and activists and individuals (grassroots, top-up)

• Provide important and timely information so that Nihilists, and others, can get involved

If you see an event or activity listed that you'd like to get involved in contact the author.

After decades, of social and economic, decay signs of rebellion and the fires of insurrection are finally igniting one by one across the globe. This map depicts a few of those major current events:

1. Chile – Student protests

"Why do we need education? To make profits. To make a business? Or to develop the country and have social integration and development? Those are the issues in dispute." – Camila Vallejo

2.  Egypt – Revolution to overthrow dictator (successful)
Egypt – Revolution to overthrow military rule (in progress)

We're not fighting any political party [in Egypt], or the army, or the Muslim Brotherhood – we're fighting a structure. And that's what the liberal political elite don't seem to understand. I'd much rather have the Muslim Brotherhood in place and get rid of SCAF than I would have [liberal figurehead] Mohamed ElBaradei running the government but leave SCAF in power. The revolution against SCAF is now; there will be time later to play the reformist, gradualist game where we sit down and argue over minute policy differences. – Khalid Abdalla, November 2011

3. Israel – Protests against high cost of living, spreading to include challenge of Zionist establishment

4. India – widespread protests against corrupt government and bribery

26.08.11 "There's an ongoing nationwide non-violent protest against the corrupt government in India. There are also various creative protests going on like people gathering with spoon and plate (steel) and banging them as protest, surrounding houses of ministers and giving them roses and get well soon messages..."

5. Greece – Insurrection against take-over of Greece by international finance

6. United States – Occupy [various locations]; group presence to bring attention to pressing economic and social issues, now primarily the grossly disproportional distribution of wealth.

• Occupy Together

For many naïve Americans, witnessing the brutal police crackdown on Occupy protestors has been an eye-opening experience (after the tear gas wears off), revealing the police to be what they primarily are: violent stooges used to sustain a wholly rotten establishment.

 

Occupy Albany New York:

To briefly summarize, the police have just become a tool to used by authorities to silence dissent instead of being an actual public service which is its purported goal. During the very calm and peaceful Occupy Albany protest police indiscriminately pepper-sprayed the protesters and tore down encampments on public property; it's no surprise that this coincides with NY's tax break for millionaires. This mirrors similar events around the country, such as the recent UC Davis protest which was met with pepper-spray. If anything is becoming apparent in this new milieu it's that reformism is dead, therefore it's only through wholesale destruction that any lasting change can be achieved. – EnemyAnomie, December 27, 2011

Just to update with what's going on here in New York, yesterday marked the first day of Occupy Albany (the NY capitol) with around 300 participants. It was hardly very organized, coherent or cohesive, but it's certainly more effective than doing nothing at all. Anyway it seems to me that the sum of the parts is more dramatic than the isolated instances regardless, meaning that the fact that all of these protests are spreading globally due to the advent of global communication is much more astonishing than any one event in particular. Whether the participant is merely centrist or any of the modernate to extreme leftist ideologies I've noticed represented, it seems clear that eroding borders is an emergent property of this age. – EnemyAnomie, October 22, 2011
