A manifesto on refusal, withdrawal, and building alternatives to extractive systems
This is not anger. Anger burns out. This is something colder, harder, more permanent. This is a decision.
There is a moment when you stop. Not because you are tired. Not because you are afraid. But because something inside you says no.
It happens quietly. You are standing in your garden, hands in the dirt, and you realize you have been living someone else's life. The bills, the screens, the endless scrolling, the feeling that you are always behind, always owing, always running toward a finish line that moves every time you approach it.
You look at the soil under your fingernails. Real dirt. Real work. Something that feeds you instead of draining you.
And you say it. Out loud or in your head, it does not matter.
I will not comply.
