  • Itt: workers who have no money, no rights (including to be homeless, hungry, and sick, specifically because of our exploitation beyond human, let alone civil) arguing their union -busting, police and war machine funding, all seeing eye government and economic system is superior to the government and economic system that checks notes give them no say in anything that matters.







  • I see Hunger Games metaphorically like all mythologies, poetry, court jesters, Shakespearean plays, etc. And like myself, reactionaries tend to take things literally, rather than get a handle on their passions and channel them in more creatively appropriate ways, when opportunity presents. Something about luck means preparation meeting opportunity. But part of preparation is knowledge and understanding. It’s a long, hard, frustrating process for we who are conditioned into expectations of ease, comfort, and drive-thru results. There will be the five stages of grief accompanied by bitterness and many of our comrades will get stuck in the five stages, bitterness, and the way things were/could have been. I think those who are able to see and move beyond these things, accept there will be hardships and work through them to move beyond will be the ones shaping the future. The choice is yours. The choice is mine. The choice is our comrades. Choose ye this day whom you shall serve. A spirit of defeat serves the enemy, regardless of where our loyalty lies.

    You’ve been such a reassuring, steady influence as I work through my issues. I’m ever grateful for it and proud to acknowledge it.
