fiction or fascism

in the sea we make our home revolution is not a metaphor.

but on one of those positive notes- when people march and realize they are not free and everything the media told them about protest and police and control and free assembly and ‘civil rights’ is not actually true but a well concealed facade… they pull at the fabric. they defy. they reveal the conflict under the surface between the rulers and the subordinated. they become radicalized. and then comes the repression. but the repression is no reason to keep from the practicing.

Direct action because you create spaces that undermine capital and value xistems like property and people are exposed to alt. Means of interaction and we grow to cultivate resistance

Civil disobedience is often now creating a symbolic experience for people to appeal to “media” to mediate demands

Direct action can risk arrest

Civil disobedience as practiced now especially through the nonprofit industry plans arrest

Direct action can achieve goals determined by the group to fulfill a creative need or to explore effctive ways to undermine systems of power while building autonomy frm the state

Civil disobedience expects people to behave a particular way in order for a higher or outside power to intervene often reinforcing reliance on the state

Direct action gets the goods, undermines commerce and holds our ground regardless of laws

Civil disobedience upholds a moral exception to particular laws

i read the article knowing it would bother me though. and it did.

[dystopiance]

i almost wrote a thing about the womens march because there was lots of “if you’re a real radical you go convert liberals and start 100 new relationships”  traditional leftist strategy pressure but then i decided not to (also a draft disappeared on my phone) and then I saw that article that called criticism “ultraleft cynicism” and more of the “need to meet people where they are at” and now i’m mad again

Please Help Grandma

Hey y’all, I know that you guys don’t know me and all, but I was wondering if you guys can share this GoFundMe for my grandma eye surgery that me and my brother are launching. She has been having headaches and serious problems with her vision. She’s sooo sooo good, she has taken care of us ever since our mom left when we were little. She is so strong and kind, and loving. 

I know this might not get far, we just don't know what to do right now. We don’t have insurance or anything and I don’t want her to just suffer through it. If you can reblog and donate if you’re able to. we just need help, she’s honestly the only family member that I have. The goal is $3752 which would just cover the surgery. Please y’all. please.

What does it mean to become Ungovernable?

My goal is to answer my own questions in ways that dont seem like I'm providing answers but cultivating possibilities

me, looking at the current state of the world, crying:I wish none of this had happened...

Gandalf, materialising in my conscience, smiling kindly: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, besides the will of evil.
