Friends—There Is No Easy Way To Say This. I Have Been Charged With Seditious Speech And Promoting Insurrection. Possibly It Was The Fact That I Used The Words “Sedition” And “Insurrection” In Describing My Future Plans.
I Am Prohibited, By The Decree Of Mop, From Further Online Communications.
I Cannot Speak Publicly After This Day, But I Will Leave You With These Words.
Question Those Beliefs And Statements Which Are Easiest To Swallow And Taste Best They Have Almost Always Been Processed. Things Have Been Added, Things Subtracted. Optimized For Acceptance, Supplemented With Agendas. If Everyone Agrees, It Is Probably False. The Truth Is Often Troubling And It Takes Work To Contain And Reckon With It. But To Willfully Believe Things Just Because They Are Nice Is Retreat, Is Treason. We Are All Tired.
Hatred And Righteous Anger Are Separate And Exclusive Forces Hatred Will Creep In And Disguise Itself As Righteous Anger—On Both Sides Of Any Conflict. Righteous Anger Is Focused; Hate Is Blinding And Metonymic. Metonymy Would Have You Misdirect Your Fury. I Will Accept Your Anger As Fuel But Not Your Hate, Even If It Is Hate In My Name. “The Banks” Are Not Your Enemy—”The Banks” Include The Tellers And The Janitors. Perhaps The Tellers Are Guilty In Their Compliance. Perhaps The Janitors Are Not. Take Care When You Identify Your Oppressors. Ensure Your Brain Is Not Using Your Position To Rationalize The Same Dark Impulses That You Are Fighting Against.
You Are Not Free Until We Are All Free Your Tired Mind Will Give You Excuses To Exit The Struggle, Especially If Your Individual Lot Improves. You Will Forget What It Was Like. “Things Are Better Now Than They Were.” “I Don’t Have The Energy.” “One Person Can’t Care About So Much.” “What Does Any Of It Matter?” Until It Is Done, It Is The Only Thing That Matters. If You Believe The Only Things Worth Doing Are Those Which Provide Returns For You Personally, Then Realize You Are Our Enemy And Do Not Fly Our Flag.
Metaphor Is A Substitute For Perspective. Metonymy Is A Substitute For Reduction. Synecdoche is A Substitute For Representation; And Irony, A Substitute For Dialectic.
Those Who Know Where To Look Will Find My Voice
Your Friend And Equal,
Wretched Tooth
