The family in the woods

It's rare to discover human beings, true rebels, who refuse to accept the decline of contemporary society and opt out of it. I'm talking about Catherine Birmingham and Nathan Trevallion, who live with their three children—six-year-old twins and an eight-year-old daughter—in the Abruzzo woods without electricity or running water.

The family's choice isn't a fallback but an entirely conscious decision. Beyond living an authentic life as part of nature, they want to keep their children out of that concentration camp called school. They want to prevent their children from being “educated” in rottenness, ugliness, and inauthenticity—that is, through a painful disconnection from nature.

When ignorant people like Greta Thunberg hear the word “nature,” they imagine it means plants and animals. Those who cultivate awareness know that we shouldn't protect the nature outside, but safeguard the nature we are part of. The worst thing today's society is bringing about is the painful detachment from everything natural, giving rise to the transhuman society we should all rebel against.

Obviously, the Leviathan doesn’t tolerate anyone slipping away, and through the judiciary—which, like politics and the entire press, is completely subservient—it demands the couple’s children. They want to take them and hand them over to social services.

Obviously, the children are the most important point. Conscious adults can’t be re-educated into inhumanity, but children can be manipulated and turned into slaves (or mad).

My deepest sympathy goes to this brave couple, and the only way to truly help them is to imitate them: to seek, in every possible way, a genuine return to nature, with special attention to the children, who are the only possible seeds of a reawakening.
