It’s day 49 into 2025, feels like day 683 of the year 2025. How time is being stretched and squeezed these past five years is beyond me. All I know is that the world we live in is not getting any better. We are all a bit tired of the multiple bombardments people around the world are enduring, be it genocides, fascist regimes, or information overloads – aren’t we?
Let's talk about it? let’s exchange care routines? fuck that
“let’s explore care tools” I’m sorry but we are not carebears, the olympics called, they have omitted the care category and want their shitty excuse bank back.
Whatever happened to fighting back? exploring molotov cocktail recipes with friends? “violence is not the answer," says the oppressor, always.
Welcome to the mass gaslighting era.

We can yell into the void, stare at the stars and hope one day they will come find us and help us get rid of the bullshit. But that’s just simply impossible right?
WRONG!
We have some sort of agency in this barren planet afterall. At least some of us do, the ones living in oppressor countries, where the citizens, second class or whatever, who live under the guise of “civilisation,” can express a certain amount of anger, right? we know art, we know activism, we know literature, we know criticism, we have read the books that are being banned in the states, we can write new ones, right? We know how to make things, how things work? I hope? we know how things have rolled out in the past, we know how to speculate and imagine our future right?
This rant is over, and I’m not saying I'm going to go out there and break the law, set a car on fire, or punch a nazi. HOWEVER, those should not be excluded from our collective struggle in trying to endure the bombarding of our times. Or as my boyfriend would say, those things should not be excluded from being political actions in and of themselves. (I paraphrased)
Let’s go colonize the brains of our oppressors.
