These incompetent leaders need to stop bombing civilians and actually fucking fight each other if they really have a problem. None of the powers actually care about human life, this civilian death is so unnecessary. You want to hurt each other? You go for the personal. Get your conflict out of regular people's lives and duke it out in a fucking mansion. They don't have the courage to face each other and fight though, which seems to be part of the problem. Why do cowards win? Is someone truly born a coward without any capacity for courage? 

I first learned this word last year when I was searching for different descriptions of governments. The idea of democracy from the Ancient Greeks and the current one America is are two very different things. First off we have the electoral college which nixes direct democracy, aka the only fucking democracy that seems to actually work. I like putting things to votes and deciding on shit together, I like hearing others' opinions because they might be more popular than mine so I can compare and work on something that benefits all the voices, I like that type of democracy. But America is not run on equal, representative cooperation and fairness. It is controlled by money. Rich people pay important members of the government like Supreme Court Justices and Congresspeople to protect their interests. Don’t say yes to this bill because I’ll give you a lot of money if you say no. I might even hurt you if you try to go against me. Corporations don’t need to pay their employees fairly because there’s no physical documentation that says they deserve that and they ignore whatever you do have.  

Large enterprises like America or Blackstone are actually only controlled by an elite few, so it’s in their interest to squeeze the life out of everything else in order to be on top. They have to crush the masses to make the stairs they want to climb. Their heights are really our heights, their wealth our wealth. I see that Master Plan by The Lever describes America as a kleptocracy which is accurate too.

Moneyed people make things follow their interests. That’s why I’ve always felt the world has been at war because war is how the Western empire makes money. Capitalism kills tons of people instantly and tons of people on a spectrum... slower to a total conversion to a toxic organism, body saturated with poison and drinking it constantly to survive. It's kind of alive... The true capitalists are super fucking weird. I want to do more research into toxic organisms and see if there's something out there that runs on its own poison like we do. Certainly cancer can be used as a way to understand society-- unending rapid production is malignant and aggressive, it's bad for the OG organism the way capitalism is bad for us. Maybe we're afraid of treatment but we have to get there.... I want to for the sake of myself.

People are afraid of disrupting the known because they're afraid of the unknown. If we're able to accept that ultimately life is out of our control, it becomes easier to realize what is in our control. You can fight fear with knowledge and it is possible to know things, even in this majorly confusing world.

What comes after is what we should be building now. By uprooting the past we automatically put steps down on another path. That's why I hate the neutral perspective, because it's uprooting the tree and leaving the holes empty. It's time to start filling it with dirt and planting seeds-- create the everyday interactions we want to have and start progress on the big ideas of the next society, the society we really want to live in.

This is a controversial opinion, but I believe charity is a solution worth building. I want to build real life cornucopias with resources in abundance and everybody can take what they want.*** What I've heard and learned about life in a 21st century First World country is that technically speaking, we have the means to feed everybody in the world. There exists housing units for every homeless person and clothes for every naked person and lots more medicine for sick people. Capitalism is the reason why so many have so few. Artificial scarcity is only the beginning of the fake shit that's been created: democracy, service, community... we don't practice real version of those either. 

My desire for charity is not without doubts. My biggest is that the money being repurposed is still not free from the imperial violence that created said wealth. For example, even if we pour money and labor into rebuilding Gaza, does the money coming from Elon Musk taint the good done with it? Is money the resource people need to give? Or is there something else that doesn’t feel like the tool of the master that we can use to physically build the world we want to live in? 

My focus right now is on creation and consolidation of power. I don't think power and control are inherently bad... I think people have used it badly for millennia though. Power is just powerful! Moves made with it are deep so if you move negatively or selfishly, it cuts a lot of fucking people. I think it could be equally, massively good. I truly believe that good power exists, and I believe we need to make more of it because there is a fuckton of bad power. Part of gaining good power is transforming the bad but pure good power is something that can be created too.

Big picture-- truly changing the world-- we need to create new ways of economic exchange and science practices and education and resource management and political communication and schools of thought. We need to totally reinvent the game because the one that we're playing is always going to feature war. It's a star fucking player. From the very very very beginning Western society was built to destroy the world.

We-- anti-Zionists, non-capitalists, beings with empathy-- we see that the bad outweighs the good and often there's not a true good that outweighs the bad. Advancement comes at a price... it's a give and take... the cost is too high... all of these are capitalist expressions but I am finding it hard to express my thoughts any other way. What we-- humanity in general-- have been putting into the world is not worth what we're getting out of it. Pollution and directing our science towards evil, making it reliant on global exploitation and capitalism, doesn't give us anything truly good that we can look at and say "Wow, how advanced and smart is this!". What we have done is create a steep inequality and instability in both energy and resources.

A First World country is first in eating energy, greedy and gluttonous.

To the Zionist students of Columbia,

​I want to start by saying I am not Jewish, but I felt it appropriate to respond since you addressed this letter to the whole Columbia community which includes me. I consider myself to be part of the pro-Palestinian movement both on campus and off. You came to this school to engage in complex conversations, so I’m starting a complex conversation with you. ​
