It is August: the true ending of a year. I’ve grown sick from trying to love who I am.

“When we are asleep in this world, we are awake in another” -Salvador Dali
In [fairy tales], power is rarely the right tool for survival anyway. Rather the powerless thrive on alliances, often in the form of reciprocated acts of kindness - from beehives that were not raided, birds that were not killed but set free or fed, old women who were saluted with respect. Kindness sown among the meek is harvested in crisis

concept: the communist manifesto but in the form of a call-out post
hey everyone, marx here, and this is a callout post for @capitalism. i know a lot of you are friends with capitalism but this post had to be made. there’s a spectre of us on here that don’t agree with what capitalism has been doing, and it’s time we come forward. we could not take being exploited like this any longer, so we decided to start a revolution. europe doesnt want us to post this so we’re probably gonna get some rude anons but it’s worth it.
if you need proof, you can see the receipts on how society has progressed through class struggle. you can visit this blog to read the screenshots.
for my friends’ safety i’ve hidden their names, so i’ll just refer to them as “the proletariat.”
we’ve tried to call out capitalism before but the ruling class has only reformed, with private property merely changing hands, not being destroyed. please reblog this to signal boost and to destroy capitalism completely so that private property will be permanently abolished and classes will disappear forever, thank you
trump: *pulls out of the paris agreement, severely harming the current global efforts to combat global warming because he’s either too fucking stupid or too evil to see that it’s a big deal and also starts the process of wiping out net neutrality, an objectively horrible thing for everone that isn’t a massive telecom company executive and will cause untold levels of damage on our ability to communicate through the internet*
media:
trump: *makes a spelling mistake on twitter*
media: OMG have you heard of
COVFEFE??????????????????????????????
look i really hate to be that person who takes anything seriously on this hellsite but i’ve had it up to about here with the “trump is an evil mastermind distracting us from the real problems instead of an unstable, senile old man with a tenuous grip on reality” conspiracy theories so i’ve just gotta do it today
# of nyt articles on “covfefe”: 27 # of nyt articles on the paris agreement within the past 7 days: 292 # of wapo articles on “covfefe”: 54, but most of them are short mentions in news roundup blog posts so i’ll let it slide # of wapo articles on the paris agreement within the past 7 days: 288 # of politico articles on “covfefe”: 17 # of politico articles on the paris agreement within the past 7 days: 142
too tired already to get into the net neutrality issue too but the point is: if you’re getting all your news from twitter memes, of course you’ve heard more about covfefe than actual policy, but the root of the matter isn’t that journalists aren’t doing their jobs and reporting on the real issues, it’s that you’re getting all your news from twitter memes
This was supposed to be part of a larger piece, but it wasn’t working, so I’ll post it as it is for now.
I know that many of you don’t know who Giovanni Falcone is, but in this day I want to share something he said before he died, exactly 25 years ago today. He was a judge, a brave, brave man, who fought against organised crime until the very end; He was killed in a bombing that also killed his wife and three bodyguards. Before he died, he said, “Men pass and go, but ideas remain, and will keep walking either the legs of other men.”
At that time, his brutal killing - and that of another judge named Borsellino, a friend of his who fought with him, not even two months afterwards - was meant to mean: we won. You will live in fear. You are ours. You will live in terror. But he truly believed that things could change and get better, that one day, sooner or later, justice would win. And his death came to symbolise the fight of many people who won’t let fear win.
Don’t let fear win.
