hi i'm a humyn being not just a blog
Any remotely civilized human being on this planet is at war with every thug/cop/warlord/politician. Treason to the state is loyalty to humanity.
Dear fossilized jingoist thug expressing haughty disgust on the internet that anyone would praise a traitor,
I want with every fiber of my being and have pursued my entire life the destruction, abolition, and permanent suppression of positions of power. I oppose every last element of the brutality you Orwellianly name “order.”
I live next door to you. I even happen to be what you would consider ‘successful.’ You once told your daughter to be more like me. I listen to you rant, like some kind of fascinating troglodyte beamed from Norman Rockwell meets Conan the Barbarian prehistory, perpetually implying there is some kind of substantive argument for the sociopathic horror of nationalism you proclaim we should all not just condone but champion (but never substantiating it beyond cartoonish civics platitudes and stumbling attempts at game theoretic assertions).
But here’s the deal, I will proudly aid and abet any and all subversion to every blood-drenched flag you hold dear. I delight in your squeals and might-makes-right bravado as you deal with the end of anything that looks like the social cosmology you believe in. I know you have no ethical motivation and think only in terms of power so how frustrating it must be to watch the rules of the game you assumed were foundational start to crumble.
Although, for the record, I can never be a traitor because, having been lucky enough to be raised a 2nd generation anarchist, I was never, not once, deluded enough to accept being drafted onto your fucking team. You are not entitled to any allegiance from me and you don’t get to declare ownership over me simply because I was birthed inside one of your pens. Any contract I might sign inside this prison camp you love is inherently under duress. The very existence of your government is a war actively waged upon all of us. It is impossible to speak of consent or moral obligation when working for the state. You cannot “betray” someone pointing guns at you with every “law.”
Yes, yes, you think we should all be exterminated. Well there are millions of us. And in this day and age only a few of us need to slip through your fingers.
Really didn't mean to post that but whatever tumblr...
one day they wondered where they had come from. sometimes because people were taken from them, lost or murdered or dead in some way. they were obsessed with finding themselves, creating themselves, making themselves into reflections of what they had seen. typecasts and tedious reworkings of oppression impacted every interaction in our histories.
There were quick drops on the pavement that day. And flashes of light, the sun never really quite creeping through.
We are the subjects of an authoritarian dissection, snatched from each other in heightened moments of escalated violence. the effect is always psychological, because we live positioned within a war of the mind.
We are nothing more than creatures.
With faces and postures, we think we can create our own lives. We’ve always tried to reconcile our experience here, as individuals. who walked over everything else and tried to mine the earth and tame the beasts. we became more than beast, in so many different ways. the supremacy of humyns over other species, the very extension of ourselves over others. but whatever we wanted it all explodes into nothing.
we, each of us, a darling imagination, a beading of tentacled thoughts. each of us, carrying energy with us, expressing it and sharing it or consuming it. the people who called themselves human, who named themselves and began to write their own histories

casual reminder
everything sucks.
which is why we should resist it.
and fuck self interest.
or conformity.
'i wanna grow up and be a____________'

instead of the cookie cutter institutional cut outs they want us to be.
