Have a fucking crack
In the United States a cop murdered a black man by shooting him in the back, putting him on the ground with as many bullets as he could manage conveniently. He then faked up the crime scene, probably thinking (and quite rightly) that a little bit of stage magic would make the whole thing go away. Unfortunately for the badge wearing murderer the whole thing was caught on video. The only thing that remains is to see exactly how he eventually doesn't face justice. Because he won't. They never do.
Black people in America are inconvenient. They were shipped in to build an empire and haven't had the sense to disappear now that they are no longer necessary. White people in America are largely desensitised to the brute facts of the thing: you used black people to build your empire of comfort, your Sloth Heaven and you don't even realise you want them dead. You live off the suffering of others and facing that fact would be so hard on yourself that it's easier to be philosophical about it, in that meaning of the word "philosophy", where it's a bunch of excuses, lies and bullshit justifying your putrid existence and refusal to liberate yourself.
I don't fucking lie to myself about where all the stuff in my house comes from: crying children made it. I don't argue that away or do anything other than try to face it the best I can. I don't expect myself to take in all that suffering, it would drive me insane, some denial is necessary. But to always be explaining away slave labour, murderous racism, genocide, you-name-it as the Human Condition is the talk of lotus eaters who have lost all humanity. Use it or lose it. It's not enough to watch and learn and hope for the best, that's how you kill your soul.
I am fucking stunned that motherfuckers think the most important thing is to be cool. Be cool. Take it easy. Don't be a drama queen. Don't rock the boat. Don't connect all these issues of injustice. Don't see that it's all the same web of lies we could cut through in an instant if we just stopped believing in it.
The other day real live Nazis rallied in cities and towns across Australia. That is such a terrifying concept that it's easier to go into denial about it. The cops in that case, who did they protect? Guess.
I will continue to seek out allies who actually want to make the effort to escape the self absorption and behave like the generations who fought fascists though it meant death.

"Dialogue" with people that think that vaporising six million people because of their religion, because *insert Martin Luther King Jr quote taken out of context". I was part of the Melbourne anti-fascist contingent on Saturday, and while these pieces of shit claimed that they were against "oppression of women", I was called a slut and a cunt
ReplyDeleteby these miscreants who appeared to be jonesin' for their dose of bath salts. "But Halal!!1!" as they shrieked as much as possible while frothing at the mouth, without considering the heart tick of approval, the "K" kosher, the vegetarian "V", the certified organic stuff, or ironically the Australian Made little kangaroo thing. Fucks.
Might I also add that I was considered "privileged" by one these fuckwits because I was wearing shoes. What a shower of shit.
ReplyDeleteGood God.
DeleteAnother activist I spoke to later was accused of going to university. Calm, considered dialogue with verified neo nazis to appease the chin-stroking, apathetics whose only experience of oppression is finding out that their cafe was shut on a public holiday? Why is it always us activists that must try to appeal to pus?

ReplyDeleteAnd what the fuck was it with that pigg who told the corpse to put his "hands behind your back", as if being shot dead with 8 bullets is some kind of threat. Fucked.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nightmare.
