Let’s forget about the size of the universe and concentrate on the calamity of the Blue DOt for a single moment. Who needs Antifa when lawless masked goons just blow away citizens who exercise their basic constitutional rights? It’s lawless and shameful to have a modern-day Stasi enforcing the will of the oligarchs pulling the strings in a democratic republic.
DJT is a pedophile protector who is using the office of POTUS to escape prison. I’m not dying on that hill. I am voting these evil shitbags out because this THIS is the Republican Party with the mask off. Unable to lead, greedy for violence, unable to find a moral compass in the presence of money. Shifty, no-account rapists sponsored by these racists. He needs an army of goons to protect him from this world, but he has none in the next. Hell is never crowded enough.
Why is it that people who struggle against tyranny painted as losers and deadbeats? But if they do peaceful stuff, aint no shame in the game. Those Monks walking across the USA are proving that with every step.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/inside-the-stasi-files/ Weird. I spent my whole life just trying to survive. Maybe I’m worth oppressing after all [cartoon hearts rise above me and burst into flowers and cherubs]. I can’t wait for Spring to go walking in the woods, back in the natural world from which I came and will return, away from this Golgotha of strip malls and sound bites.
The State is always prepared for violence, never for peace. I think that came from the zapatismos. Non-violent disobedience is fundamental. Believing in the power of community is liberation. It’s like tapping into a higher dimension. There’s no hate dimension, unless you consider the unsung violence in Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery” some unspoken craving for violence in lieu of a basic understanding of statistical mechanics. No one ever talks about a utopic hate vision. That’s absurd. Everything would just crumble, but in a bad way. Yet here we are, everyone carrying a nubbin of Babel in their pocket, no one can agree on a work schedule or a design. The White House Ballroom is not even Babel. It’s a concept of Babel.
If you have a lawless militia to replace the intelligence service, howbow dat? https://www.ddr-museum.de/en/blog/2016/from-scraps-of-paper-to-mountains-of-files-the-long-aftermath-of-the-stasi-files
You beat indifference (the real enemy is apathy, the lack of feelings or caring) through the tools that build civilization: discourse, forum, laws, self-determination, transparency, accountability, and eventually emergent trust itself. Trust being violated by the leader of a Goon Army. The Authoritarian playbook is dull and repetitive, sucks all the wealth out of the communities, then becomes enraged at their growing dependency. Dead bodies, lies, hatred, misery. And some fat cat somewhere hiding behind a wall of goons while everything goes to shit.
Grow gardens, take a walk and say something nice to someone, do something nice for someone if you have the capacity. If you don’t have the capacity to be nice, I can imagine your misery. Maybe go take a nap or a nice walk somewhere.
Non-violent civil disobedience is the all-level response. For example, fuck Amazon for turning Ring over to ICE. I don’t need to buy from them anymore. TikTok is basically an imported Stasi from China used to monitor and monetize obedience. TikTok was at one point considered a national security threat – another word for unavailable profits without a bribe – until we owned it. Evil folks around Trump can turn this weapon against our own people, just like in other authoritarian states. With Citizens United, you will never know who pulls the strings. It’s fundamentally wrong to even ask, I imagine, where the money is REALLY coming from. Who owns me? I ask my cat that question every day.
We have the means for self-determination, but we just focus on generating misery, misery, misery. Listen to Chatpile’s “Masc” to experience my troubled vibe and stuff like that.
I will need to draw something on a banana to get through this.
