  • Yeah…

    Well remember them in 25 years and file FOIA requests after they hope everyone forgot. Optimistic that will even be an option in the future I know but instead of just protesting if we just keep spamming them with requests, relentlessly who knows what we might achieve.

    Since about occupy Wall Street I think we can see that any protest for a cause that is already well understood and acknowledged by the public at large(meaning the activism still needs to raise awareness that a problem exists at all) now requires some form of other actual action to gain any traction

    Too many people are too complacent, unwilling, or simply unable to do more than just express their opinion.

    It’s just like with abuse victims, the best results happen when they are not only able to take action against their abusers, by but face them too. Which is often if not usually a cruel injustice to have a system that only seems to get good results when it requires further trauma to those who need justice.

    Whether that trauma is physical, psychological or simply even economic trauma

    We COULD simply stock up on say rice and beans, then quit participating in the system that is constantly fucking over those it should be seeking to protect, we the people. But as long as we won’t and can’t simply stop long enough and have a place to sleep, clothes on our backs and food in our stomachs we will lose to those that syphon all of our labour, the sliver of time we have on this planet, we will continue to suffer greater and greater losses…

    First they came for criminals, then they came for…














  • Oh you feed them you feed them the off menu special.

    That actually reminds me of a story.

    So in 2002 I worked at a place where the old owner still owned the property and he would come by to collect his rent cheques. German fellow, old guy.

    He told a story once about growing up in Nazi Germany, he was very young at the time but old enough to remember it things.

    In the town he grew up in, it was a small town, turns out one day the local butcher and his wife had the SS show up and take them off to be executed.

    What they found it was Gestapo officers kept going missing in the area and everyone thought that they were taken to be questioned. No no it turned out that the old couple, who’s children had long left the town and had lived elsewhere, were snatching Gestapo officers and then butchering them and selling them by turning them into sausages.

    He said the sausages tasted completely normal and everyone was quite surprised how good the sausages were given the fact they they were all eating human sausage
