AnarchoNinaWritesPeople ask me "why now, why fascism, why police states, what changed?" And the answer is literally right in front of your face; they know. Rich people, who own pretty much everything - your media, your educational institutes, the politicians you vote for, the cultural product you consume, know that it's capitalism or a planet that can support 8B+ humans. They've known for decades. And they know you won't die quietly so they can keep accumulating wealth. That's why "fascism" and "police states."
And we're past the point where that's a theory. Because every day you watch the situation worsen. Every day, they strip more of your rights. Every day they continue ripping fossil fuels out of the ground and burning them even as it brings you and yours closer to extinction. These aren't theories, these are known facts and you can either choose to believe they're all idiots or you can look at what they're doing and extrapolate what it means.
Installing fascists, building police states, arming themselves to the teeth. The message is super clear, it doesn't take a genius to realize they're going to run us right off the ecological cliff for capital and shoot anyone who tries to fight back - their actions point to NO OTHER POSSIBLE CONCLUSION.
Recognizing this is not crazy; pretending it's not happening while rich people and the states they own line you up for a shallow grave? That's crazy.
Don't talk to me about democracy when rich people own everything and are sizing me and mine up for extermination. Don't talk to me about voting until you can present a choice that isn't "kill billions to keep doing capitalism" because the hour is fucking late, and I have no more patience for pretend on a boiling planet, surrounded by nazis who mean us all harm, and staring down a mass extinction event.
You want to know why I'm so fucking angry? Well there's your answer. I HATE pretend.
Sarah@AnarchoNinaWrites oh man... Did you hear about the Supreme Court ruling allowing cities to arrest people for being homeless? They are going to create a population of slaves and then have them do all the labor for pennies on the dollar. Things are about to get real bad.
