“Anyone else think that corporate America’s infatuation with identity politics over the past 15 years is just a coordinated attempt to divide the citizenry?” (-Primo Radical)
“A million versions of “I will vote for literally any democrat. I will vote for the dead body of Joe Biden. I will vote for Bill Clinton’s cigar butt. But I would never vote for Bernie Sanders.” We know. We know you’d prefer Trump to basic social safety nets and empathy. We know.” (-Olivia Hill)
“When you support the mass killing of children, you’ve lost any shred of moral standing. I BEG YOU.Please explain this liberal logic. I can’t wrap my brain around it: 1. The world will end if Trump wins.
2. So let’s run the worst possible candidate against him.” (-Peter Daou)”In the past 48 hours, Israel has murdered at least 87 Palestinians in Gaza. They bombed a refugee camp. They bombed a school. They bombed UN warehouses. They shot at refugees with helicopters. They raided a journalist’s home.
This is American-Israeli genocide.” (-Code Pink)
“I am not anti-Biden because of his age, I am anti-Biden because he is pro-genocide.” (-Saira Rao)
“Why are we talking about Biden’s dementia instead of his genocide?!?!” (-Leila Charles Leigh)
“Biden is not a decent person. He is an enabler of one of the most horrific crimes in the annuals of human history in Gaza. Yet, the truncated morality of liberalism sees Trump’s contrived conviction as a bigger crime than racist genocide in Gaza.” (-Ajamu Baraka)
“Instead of sending relief checks to American families during the highest inflation in 40 years, Joe Biden and Democrats sent over $220 billion to fuel the war machine in Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. And if you say “so did Republicans”, you’re just proving the point that neither party cares about the American people. Instead of solving the United States’ housing crisis, the Biden-Harris administration gave billions to Israel, whose settlers are stealing homes from Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Democrats could have fought for Medicare for All, but instead they gave us the largest military budgets in history.” (-Prof Zenkus)
“The world is being run by people no one voted for.” (-illumanatibot)
“If the United States dropped a nuke on 10 million orphans, our Govt could convince half of Americans that they did it because of freedom and democracy.” (-Black In The Empire)
“voters don’t change the system
the system changes them…
into believers of political promises
as a way of avoiding the reality
no matter how they vote
or who they vote for
they end up deeper in debt
and with less individual liberties
as a legacy to their children
so political promises
becomes their drug
and in a need for validation
they start pushing that drug
more thought caught in believing
then thought freed by thinking”

“You are disgusted with this world because you are here to change it.” (-Anarcho-Refusenik)
“Donald Trump is about to be restored to the presidency armed with a Supreme Court ruling saying he can do basically anything he wants and the entire response by the Democratic Party to this crisis is to tell you to get out and vote for a demented guy. It is the candidate’s job to convince the voter that they are the better choice. It is not the voter’s responsibility to simply accept that on spec.
If the opponent is Donald Trump and you can’t make that case effectively then you fucking failed the voters they didn’t fail you.” (-Chuck)
“Biden. Useless. The Dems. Useless. We quite literally have 0 actual opposition to fascism in this country, and I’m not going to be gaslit into thinking otherwise” (-JJ Long Live The Resistance)
“Dear libs, you shouldn’t have voted for the unelectable warmonger in 2016 who had to rig a primary to even become the nominee. Jill Stein would have picked great court justices.” (-Birrion)
“American still have no idea the bullet we dodged when Hillary Clinton lost. She saw the drone strike king Barack Obama, and thought he was a pussy. If you are furious at all the genocides and wars that Biden is funding, can you imagine what Hillary would’ve pulled off?” (-Revolutionary Blackout Network)
“The most terrifying spectacle to me is not the utter and across-the-board corruption of officialdom, but the inability of many (most?) Americans to even imagine forms of collective action that don’t involve courts or voting booths.” (-Ben Ehrenreich)

“There’s a reason you seldom see into the personal lives of politicians. You don’t see how they rarely work, rarely commute, rarely concern themselves with bills, or cooking, or cleaning, or parenting. You don’t see how many houses and cars and boats they own. Because if you did, you’d be wondering how the fuck they represent you.” (-Just A. Thought)

“It’s false to say the conflicts in the middle east are hard to understand. They’re not. What CAN be hard is opening your mind to the possibility that everything you’ve been told about the world is a lie, and that everyone you know and respect has been brainwashed by propaganda. Once you’ve done that understanding conflicts in the middle east becomes easy, because the entire framework we’re indoctrinated with for understanding them is a lie.” (-Caitlin Johnstone)

“The two-party system in America is nothing but a good cop, bad cop strategy designed to perpetuate the oligarchy’s control. This system gives the illusion of choice and democratic engagement while both sides work together to dismantle any real resistance to corporate power and ecological destruction. Just like a staged interrogation where the good cop soothes while the bad cop threatens, Democrats and Republicans distract the populace with theatrical conflicts and superficial debates. Meanwhile, the core agenda of profit, control, and environmental exploitation remains untouched. It’s a cynical manipulation of the public, ensuring that real transformative change is stifled and the oligarchy’s power is unchallenged. This deceit perpetuates the violence and destruction upon which industrial civilization relies, with society at large blind to the fact that both parties are complicit in the same destructive game.” (-Justin McAffee)
“Every four years, we’re regularly told we have to “vote blue no matter who” because of the Supreme Court. But voting for Democrats to fix the Supreme Court is betting on a sure loser. It’s not happening. Democrats aren’t saving SCOTUS – and they’re not saving us from SCOTUS either. While Republicans have been carefully strategizing a judicial takeover for decades, Democrats have been fumbling away SCOTUS seats and fast-tracking GOP judicial appointees. When it leaked that SCOTUS was planning to overturn Roe, the Democrats did nothing to codify this critical protection for women, just like they’d done nothing for the past 50 years in spite of their repeated promises. All they did was fundraise and tell people to vote blue harder. When SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, the Democrats did nothing but fundraise and tell people to vote harder. Now that SCOTUS has gone full mask-off in support of tyranny, what are Biden and the Democrats doing about it? Fundraising and telling people to vote harder. The Democrats have not only been useless while SCOTUS takes a sledgehammer to our democracy. They have been worse than useless, because they turn every terrible decision into a convenient excuse for not even trying to do the things they promised their voters. Enough is enough. We’re done playing along with this farce. Voting for Biden to deal with this illegitimate, corrupt, rogue court is like calling Mr. Magoo to stop a fascist coup. We need to call it like it is: this court has sided with tyranny over democracy, and just like King George III in 1776, it’s got to go. But we won’t win this fight by voting for the do-nothing Dems. We will win this fight by voting for a president who will lead the charge to impeach, replace, and expand this illegitimate, corrupt court – and create a court that serves the American people, not the billionaire donors that have manipulated the process to produce an extremist court now tearing down what remains of our democratic institutions.” (-Dr. Jill Stein)

“There is nothing natural about this. The way things are. The way we are living. If this was the natural and healthy way for human society to exist, it wouldn’t require mountains of propaganda spin to keep it going. Without copious amounts of mental narratives being fed to us by people in power, it would never occur to anyone that it’s a good or normal idea to commit to wars of aggression on the other side of the planet, or to back genocides, or to militarize globally with hundreds of military outposts around the world, or to foster systems which allow a few people to have far too much while others have far too little, or to destroy the biosphere we depend on for survival for the sake of shareholder profits. It would never occur to us to accept these things if we weren’t living our lives saturated in a nonstop barrage of narratives explaining that we should accept them. We live like this throughout our entire lives. Through mass-scale psychological manipulation our minds are twisted into freakish and unnatural shapes to ensure that we will think, speak, act, work, spend and vote in ways we would never otherwise would, all to keep the wheels of this freakish and unnatural dystopia turning. If the powerful did not control the dominant narratives of this civilization, we would be living in a very different world than the one we live in today. Narrative is how humans tend to get themselves into trouble. The believed thought stories in our minds are what drive us to hate, abuse, harm and kill our fellow humans. They’re what drive us into a state of anxiety even in moments when our bodies are completely safe and all our material needs are being met. They’re what have convinced humans to march out and fight wars and commit atrocities throughout the ages. Most of human suffering ultimately arises from believed thought stories. But believed thought stories are what shape this civilization. The only reason why power exists where it exists, why nations and their borders exist as they do, why money operates the way that it operates, why laws are written and obeyed, is because we’ve all agreed to believe a bunch of made-up narratives saying that these things are true. Tomorrow Americans could all agree that Taylor Swift is the Dictator Supreme of the United States and that copper pennies are the only form of money with any value, and if enough people believed those narratives, those narratives would become reality. That’s the power of narrative, and that’s why powerful people pour so much energy into harnessing it. Through the power of narrative, we can be convinced to consent to things as absurd as weapons contractors using their wealth to lobby for wars and militarism, which gives them more wealth that they can then spend on more lobbying. Or working forty hours a week making our boss far more money than we get paid in a company that’s killing our ecosystem just so that we can give our paychecks to some landlord in order to live in a building on the dying planet we were born on, solely because the boss and the landlord happened to luck into owning the company and the building. Or world leaders brandishing armageddon weapons at one another. This backwards, insane civilization only looks normal to us because it has been deliberately normalized throughout our lives via careful narrative control by the people who benefit from it. Narrative rules our lives. Without any believed narrative in your head, there’s just peaceful being with what is, and the human animal body tending to its few human animal needs. Add in a bunch of believed narrative and then all of a sudden you’ve got a self, others, desires, agendas, enemies, social standing, goals, inadequacy, stress, a painful past and a frightening future. It is possible for the human organism to live without believed narratives in the shift in perception commonly known as spiritual enlightenment, and it is possible for humans as a whole to drop the believed narratives that are being imposed on us by the powerful in the same way. And just as enlightenment brings with it the realization that the old way of perceiving was actually an unnatural way of operating, awakening from the dominant narratives of our day will allow us to move into a much more natural way of existing with each other and with our ecosystem on this planet. You can call this a lofty and unattainable goal if you want, but to me I’m just talking about the one and only adaptation that has any chance of steering our species away from annihilation. Every species hits an adaptation-or-extinction juncture at some point in its existence, and we’re arriving at ours right now. We’ll either transcend our unhealthy relationship with narrative, or we’ll wipe ourselves out via nuclear war or environmental destruction. Every sign I’m seeing right now suggests we have the ability to go either way.” (-Caitlin Johnstone)

RIPOFFS
TOO HOT TO WORK OUTSIDE
I spent at least a couple decades as a full-time punk rock warlord resisting fascism and godless bullies in the belly of the beast but you know I feel myself aging and I aint got the power to fight the world no moore, not while doing drudgery and caregiving and housecleaning and landscaping and having to do all these hard ass daytime hustles everday to just barely scrape by. Man I’ve always been crazy but it’s only 11:48 and I’m already sick and dizzy from weed whacking in the heat, can potentially make up to $60 for the family today but the heat is really making it a physical hardship, even a little risky. I’m depressed as fuck, ya’all, lotta challenging personal stuff’s been going on related to the superinflation and corrupt big pharma/no help Murkkkan medical mafia.One of my early mentors, a talented drummer and bassplayer and know it all record collector has died. He was like twenty years older than me but shared my passion for the Lords and Cramps and Stooges and old punk rock. He used to hang around the indie record store I worked at as a teenager and when my skinhead drummer hookedup with a vampire chick and basically abandoned the band for not being mainstream popular enough, he stepped in and wowed my bandmates by letting them use his real vintage antique gear and sortof took over the band. He was probably the one most responsible for getting me kicked out of my own band and replaced with a Ken Doll wannabe way back in the eighties, he was a contrarian with a cruelty based sense of humor, a snide, smirking, power hawk control freak, and always caused divide and conquer sudden mutinies in all his bands, but he taught me a lot about Detroit punk as a kid cause he was friends with the Ashton brothers and got me into the Fuzztones. All my music was elevated by his explosive power as a drummer and in spite of his persoanlity quirks, I always liked the guy and found myself always seeking his approval but it was never really achieved. God bless you, brother, travel free. (-The General)
