  • Intellectually/spiritually/financially impoverished slaves conditioned to be as abusive as the system that reared them and still provides them their “necessities”. I like to think of imperialists as semi-conscious children with serious behavioral disorders+no early-life training for how to interact in non-hostile ways with other beings, who have been convinced by lead-poisoned racist authority figures that growing up to become a cog in an infinite plundering machine is honorable life path. All it takes is some reframing… maybe some of them end up waking themselves up to the whole mess in time to, at the very least, remove themselves from the process and re-evaluate their behaviors/priorities, begin growing their desire for truth-seeking, appreciation of nature, personal growth, or just living in the real world outside of 24/7/365 imperial conquest mode





  • insurance companies pulling out of residential markets in disaster zones tells you all you need to know. not even to mention the healthcare, legal, regime change, academic, media/entertainment, or agricultural “industries” (criminal enterprises) we are all dependent upon for our daily lives (in modern lifestyle fashion), with no hope in sight for general public welfare driven reforms ever being applied to any such structures which uphold and propagate the duplicity and dominion of “capitalism” (coordinated synchronous sociopathic liquidation of universal good-faith towards maximum capture of select-minority-control over long term future prospects of any and all valuable forms)


  • all the authors really needed out of it was to get the viewer thinking about how we could frame relationships with others in terms of market forces, so that the political discussions surrounding the issue would have more people thinking about their own sexual or social prospects in consideration of “what kinds of unexpected consequences might occur if this new development goes through, and how could it impact me or perhaps other (privileged/entitled/vulnerable) individuals”

    So the intended audience is inferred to be “entitled dickheads of old” by my limited capacity for assessment

    Poverty is a choice, irrelevance is allbut guaranteed. The dragons’ impenetrable fortresses are nearing completion, though they remain pleasantly surprised at their prospects of more perfect control over their destinies than even their most adept forefathers had ever yet captured. Will must henceforth be paid for in the most precious of tokens (faith, peace, hope, sanity, pride, dignity, rage, flesh). We will grow and adapt to survive even as it pushes us to unraveling. Any minute contributions, no matter how unrecognized or delayed in fruition, have all culminated to this moment, and this process of incalculable chaotic combinations, interactions, and exchanges unfolding never stops, even as our minds, bodies, and spirits need periodic rest for rest, regrowth, reflection. Remember to stay saucy.









  • Just don’t catch yourself sleep walking around the house looking for makeshift half-waked relief options/solutions like I had a couple times caught myself doing as a kid. We had one of those foot-pedal operated trash cans in the kitchen I woke up in front of one time, just having stopped myself from missing the toilet by a room and a half, and having to blame some kind of crazy impossibly unusual mess on the dog or something or risk waking up right after peeing and having to take out that bag of piss right there and then in the middle of the night
