Chewing over recent events, and it's another example of #TheSpectacle
Advice i got from one fencer:
"Don't get distracted by the shadows."
And it's very relevant right now.
Yes, it's going to be short-term dangerous, but it's always been like this for most of us.
Yes, "This too will pass" is true, but for you as individual sapients, that depends upon your surviving the short-term dangers.
But "This too will pass." :D

just wondering how to best get the People's attention so we can teach them about CLASS STRUGGLE, as well as how they indeed CAN make a HUGE difference in the way humanity is headed.
I've been "wide awake" and "unplugged" now for at least 2 years, and I really haven't seem much progress all this time... not even on here in the past few weeks. And then there's the BS I have to personally deal with...
IOW fuck capi...
Anyone else feeling like #TheSpectacle is accelerating unusually rapidly right now?
My perception of contemporary #uspol is that it's more of a powder-keg now than it was in the aftermath of 9/11. Which is ideal conditions for #ShockDoctrine shit, so... 😑
I think #fyrefestival represents a major rupture in #theSpectacle, or sommat along those lines...
