my standard is a person is allowed to vote for DJT exactly one time and receive grace. if you voted for him in 2016 i can see the possibility that you didn't grow up familiar with american greed corruption, and propaganda. i have a beloved friend who voted for him the first time she ever voted in this country because Hillary Clinton read to her as the corrupt authoritarian making populist promises and DJT the earnest well meaning media personality who works for the people. after he took office and she saw that he had tricked her, she started listening to different groups of Americans differently and never went along with him again.
everyone elso who continues to go along with him? there's no excuse. he's shown you over and over who he really is. he killed half a million americans mismanaging the pandemic. now he's disrupting our food supply lines to kill half a million more through starvation. you're deluding yourself if you don't think he'll kill another half million at least in his death camps. this is not a joke. this is not a game.
45 was there for my friend's naturalization ceremony. he said he loved her and they were family now. today, as 47, he seeks to denaturalize her and to ship her off, probably to one of the death camps. this is abusive relationship behavior. because that's who the president is.
concentrated into cages in a prison camp. the word we used to use for this was "concentration camp."
this particular iteration of fascism is already to death camps. stop measuring 47's regime from when 47 became 47, and instead on when he became 45. we are 8 years into the nazi administrative coup, 1937. stop convincing yourself this is the start and we have to build up our strength to resist what's to come. we must use our strength to resist what is here now.
if you're wondering where the non-death camp concentration camps were, they're state and federal prisons like Red Onion in VA. just not enough people listened to black people to realize republican's "tough on crime" has for decades been "we need a final solution to the latin and black question"
here are the things to know.
fascism is real
america is fascist
fascism is a deadly virus that only ever leads to death in the millions
the killing is already happening. world war ii "started" when germany invaded poland, however the first fighting of the second world war began when Japan invaded China in 1931. i'm saying world war ii started February, 2014. now, 11 years in, it's starting to get hot for everyone who isn't Japan's russia or China's Ukraine.
the fascists want you to think of this camp as "alligator alcatraz." that's why they told you to call it that. it's proof that the conservatives own the entire media apparatus that every outlet calls it this. a better name for it would be alligator auschwitz
implying the whole thing was his idea, and given his ties to the russian mob and what they do, he maybe got the idea sometime while he was in a hotel room with a hidden camera he didn't know about
they are pharaoh. they took 12000 years of stories warning about how authoritarians trick people and inflict colonialism and used the to justify tricking people and inflicting colonialism. it disgusts me that they can eat the same fuckin' food as me and make it about individualism when the food is meant to be a history of both ourselves and our friends. my teacher taught me that the sacred foods are matzo, latkas, challah, and broscht. there's more sacred foods, obviously, but those were the big tent poles. the lesson i was supposed to take from borscht being a sacred food is that when our people fled greece and caesar we found ourself in what is today Ukraine, Russia, Poland, and Belarus. particularly in the southern regions, we were not treated as a nuisance but as cherished friends. they fed us their borscht and we fed them our cabbage soup. the point of judaism is not to create an insular society that refuses to acknowlege the influence of our forced diaspora, but instead to provide the services of a temple anywhere we happen to be. we're supposed to gather food for others, to be pleasant guests and gracious hosts for others, to provide emergency medical care to anyone we encounter who needs it, and above all else, to take on and inherit the techniques of resisting an oppressor from all who we encounter. i look at israel and i see nothing of jewish culture, only of jewish aesthetic. i see a harmful jewish stereotype made physical. i see a nazi propaganda poster made real. i see all this and the only thing i can think of in horror is how this all reads to someone who does not know jews. to someone who doesn't know us they are seeing the presence of harmful jewish stereotypes and then verbal confirmation from israeli leaders themselves. with a heavy heart i know that people i love will be tricked into hating me because they will see my hair and my nose and see the foods i eat and think i'm on the side of an israeli supremacist apartheid genocide movement. at the same time, i wish to continue keeping my hair curly, wearing it long, and to keep eating the foods i was taught to make to remember the brothers, sisters, and cousins i lost access to when russia forced my ancestors out of the place they had lived for 1400 years.
fuck israel. free palestine. fuck pharaoh. fuck benjamin netenyahu. fuck caesar. fuck the colonizer. fuck the patriarchy. fuck the idf. fuck mossad. fuck nazis. fuck putin. fuck tankies. fuck every single opressor who would stand over me or you or anyone else. i refuse to ever forget who i really am and i refuse to let anyone tell me what my identity is without my say so. i want peace in this world and there cannot be peace without justice and there cannot be justice without peace. russia, israel, saudi arabia, qatar, the united states, north korea, and china all stand in the way of everlasting freedom. so fuck every single one of them. i didn't spend my life making friends all across the globe for me to not be able to recognize that what's killing us is killing us all.
and so we're clear. yes. i'm selfish. i'm selfish because the root of my politics is what i want. i want my people to be happy. i want my jamaican friend to be prosperous and wise. i want my pakistani friend to be a thought leader who helps lift up women's voices in her homeland. i want my ukrainian friends' families to call them tomorrow morning to say that they're okay. i want my sudanese teammate to run a footrace in his native village without being shot. i want to know that each of these people are okay, and i want to eat a meal with them and to sing and to laugh and to dance. these are the things russia, israel, saudi arabia, qatar, the united states, north korea, and china take from me. i do not forgive them. i will not forget. all me and my people ask for is an easy life, one where we watch our daughters grow up and smell clean air. we cannot have this because of pharaoh, caesar, babylon, the colonizer, the patriarchy. and quite frankly, how dare they. who are they to take these basic human dignities away from us? and for what!? what do we get in return? we live in a protection racket. and fuck them for that.
as an appalachian, yeah. me neither. our government along with the soviet union spent nearly a century laying the groundwork for a permanent global system of terror, torture, and exploitation. 1984 had it exactly right how this would all go, and the frustrating way George Orwell got everything right is by fucking listening. this has been going on since the start of civilization. i'm tired of being civilized and i'm ready to go back to our pre-colonial roots. let's give being societies instead of civilizations a go for a change
i swear we're rebooting everything from before the 2008 housing crash and going "is this what you wanted!? everything to go back how it was!? to kill off brown people en masse and watch dexter!?"
mate if a badly made product makes it into your hand it's the company that made it and sold it to you's responsibility. "we used a subcontractor" is not an excuse. this is not random. it's simply saying that google made a crappy product by cutting corners intientionally to boost short term profits at the cost of their consumer. if you think that's what apple users do you haven't met a single one
you don't have to imagine. their propaganda posters should genuinely be thought of as being memes. every poster is a meme that the people gluing up hope will influence the general sentiment of the people around them. internet memes are not truly new. there are merely the most common form of propaganda detritus in our current age. in the 20s-90s, this was the poster and the street tag

elections are less of a way to voice our opinion and more of a pop quiz for the elite to see what they can get away with
