Let’s start with a simple idea. The state has no right to hit us. It has no right to cage us. It has no right to kill. If we’re supposed to use nonviolent protest, why shouldn’t the state be nonviolent with us? Isn’t this, indeed, worth protesting for? I come to you with the idea of a satyagraha state.

We have been told that violence is the only way to organize governments, but prophets and philosophers have shown us there is another way. …

America has made COVID-19 a biological weapon in their Cold War 2. They are spreading doubt about Chinese and Russian vaccines and actively embargoing supplies to their enemies and the world. During a pandemic. These bastards have weaponized COVID-19.

Corporations are legal persons. We don’t take this seriously but we really should, because that’s the law. Reality is a shared hallucination backed by guns, and the people with guns say that corporations are people too.

Corporations have limited liability. Since the 1850s, corporations have also been given limited liability. If they take risks and lose, the losses are dumped on someone else. Their creditors, the public, the planet Earth.

This is a deadly combination. What we have created is artificial people with great power and little to no responsibility. …

Western kleptocracies are making a big show of ‘donating’ expiring vaccines while blocking global production. It’s a killing show. Where I live, in Sri Lanka, ambassadors bombard us with photos of pallets coming off planes, but none of them are vaccines. The US has allocated just 7 million leftovers for all of Asia (billions of people, excluding their enemies). They are still ‘negotiating’ lifting patents instead of just doing it. The EU is not even negotiating, they’re telling us to go fuck ourselves.

As Andrew Stroelhein of Human Rights Watch said:

Donating millions of doses maybe makes a nice headline…

Climate change, vaccine apartheid, racism, and war are different problems with one cause. Empire. The old colonial empires never disappeared, they just went capitalist. They hid behind borders and institutions but they’re still up to the same nefarious shit. The empire struck back, assembled a Death Star of resource extraction and now the whole planet is about to explode. COVID-19 was just a test shot and look how they’ve spread the disease and left everyone to die. If we don’t overthrow them now they’re going to finish the job with climate change.

The fact is that we are not going…

Growing up in the 1990s I remember watching Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in the theatres. I sat there with hundreds of people, munching popcorn, watching a hate crime. Millions of people did. It was a popular movie.

In the final scene, Jim Carrey has the villain surrounded by cops and he starts ripping off her clothes. The big punchline, the most terrible crime, is that she’s trans. Her body is so disgusting that all the cis-men (holding guns) vomit. And we all laughed. We all watched that hate crime and laughed at it together. Today I am ashamed.

It’s easy…

Germany faced a Nazi coup in 1923, tried to move on, and ended up completely decapitated by 1933. America has reacted to its coup even less than Weimar Germany and is somehow expecting different results. I say this not as a prediction but a warning. America today is in the calm before Der Stürmer.

It’s important to remember how much time passed between Adolf Hitler’s failed putsch and Germany’s failed democracy. Ten long years, some of them good. American is in those strange twilight years now. The fascists seem gone, the government seem good enough, things seem stable. But things…

I will criticize capitalism here… then ask you to sign up for my newsletter. You can read Marx all you want… on your Amazon Kindle. In this way, capitalism is like the Hotel California. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. It’s like a room full of doors that all lead back to the same place.

Capitalism — more than any ideology — devours its rebellions. Kings would kill you for criticizing them, but capitalism takes nothing personally. It’s strictly business. Capitalism will take your rebellion, print it on a t-shirt, and sell it…
