“It’s so weird to me that people are separating caring about the environment and the climate to caring about humans… There can be no climate justice without social justice.”

— Greta Thunberg

[theoffingmag]

When I close my eyes there is no humanitarian crisis. There is no military siege or apartheid. No occupation. Here, occupation is a word used for doctors, journalists, professors, caretakers, shopkeepers, researchers, chefs, engineers, construction workers, entrepreneurs, artists, and farmers. Here, occupation is a livelihood. Here, occupation is a calling. It is a choice and it is always beautiful.

— Elena Dudum, "When I Close My Eyes: A Prayer for Gaza"

"No mass left-wing movement has ever been built on a majoritarian strategy. On the contrary, every such movement-socialism, populism, labor, civil rights, feminism, gay rights, ecology-has begun with a visionary minority whose ideas were at first decried as impractical, ridiculous, crazy, dangerous, and/or immoral." - Ellen Willis "The Majoritarian Fallacy" in Don't Think, Smile!: Notes on a Decade of Denial (1999)

"Wer will, dass die Welt bleibt, wie sie ist, will nicht, dass sie bleibt."

- Erich Fried.

[desenvoltura-hibrida]

Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn't trust the evidence of one's eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission civilizatrice. -Edward Said

“The flower of the word will not die. The masked face that today has a name may die, but the word that came from the depth of history and the earth can no longer be cut by power’s arrogance. We were born of the night. We live in the night. We will die in her. But tomorrow the light will be for others, for all those who today weep at the night, for those who have been denied the day, for those whom death is a gift, for those who are denied life. The light will be for all of them. For everyone everything. For us pain and anguish, for us the joy of rebellion, for us a future denied, for us the dignity of insurrection. For us nothing.”

— Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos - (Excerpt from) Fourth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle

[phebess]

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for. It didn’t look like we were going to win then and we did. It doesn’t feel like we’re going to win now but we could. Keep fighting, keep dancing." - Dan Savage on Savage Lovecast

[bluestblau]

Mac: ... Wir kleinen bürgerlichen Handwerker, die wir mit dem biederen Brecheisen an den Nickelkassen der kleinen Ladenbesitzer arbeiten, werden von den Großunternehmen verschlungen, hinter denen die Banken stehen. Was ist ein Dietrich gegen eine Aktie? Was ist ein Einbruch in eine Bank gegen die Gründung einer Bank? Was ist die Ermordung eines Mannes gegen die Anstellung eines Mannes?

Bertolt Brecht; Die Dreigroschenoper

[a-book-dragon]

Comrades, we are La Otra Campaña, and with us are sex workers, with us are homosexuals, lesbians, transgender people, with us are street children, street workers, small tenants, informal merchants, market traders, with us are indigenous peoples, with us are peasants without land or in the process of losing it, with us are workers, students, teachers, the elderly, and with us are the ugly ones, the filthy ones, and we are here in La Otra Campaña, the best of this country, and that is all which we are going to do.

Until Death if it is Needed, subcomandante Marcos

"From everything that man erects and builds in his urge for living, nothing in my eyes is better and more valuable than bridges. They are more important than houses, more sacred than shrines. Belonging to everyone and being equal to everyone, useful, always built with a sense, on the spot where most human needs are crossing, they are more durable than other buildings and they do not serve for anything secret or bad."

Ivo Andric, novelist, Nobel laureate (9 October 1892-1975)
