I am like a smart person

Conservatives : "we know what's best for you according to god, and you're a child abuser if you disagree with us, don't tell us what to do. Also, fuck foreigners! Liberals are SATAN!"

Liberals : "here are peer reviewed scientific studies as evidence on what we should be doing, most everything else is really up to you, just dont pay attention to what we're doing to those pesky brown people overseas, please. Haha, let's bring conservatives to the table!!"

I am horrified knowing full well now that this country completely and fully supports genocide and ethnic cleansing and has not learned a single thing in 200 years. Rich, violent, White Europeans may find out one day that we reap what we sow. Things are not complicated. White Europeans believe they are the only race that deserve to feel safe, and will eugenics the sense of justice out of any other peoples to prove it to be true. Complicity is hopes the dragon will not be turned towards us, because hierarchy decides the value of each life and if you arent mingling with those at the top you are just waiting in line to be taught a lesson in humility alongside those at the bottom. We need to stop making it so damn easy for them to kill us.

True Enemies

  I think we are encouraged to see each other as enemies. When in reality, the only enemy is silence. Silence can't be argued against. Silence is not peace. Silence feels like safety, but what it actually is is stagnation. Bad ideas expressed can be opposed, Bad ideas are opportunities to break people out of mental loops. We assume that people will naturally guide themselves to the truth, to kindness, to but clearly that's not the case.

oops

Uh oh, your band mate expressed himself which put your brand at risk. You've done so well not stepping on any of the wrong toes, you've made all the correct decisions, your partner made his bed, better course correct! The spectacle is the true value! You've shown fealty, you'll be accepted back into the circle after a few lashings. You're the lesson to so many others, you've behaved very well. A good boy. What's your comradeship worth? Not this much! Not all the future what ifs, yes you have enough but you could have so much more! You are an artist in the spotlight, your brand is silly and edgy, but not too edgy.  Not THIS edgy. Artists feeling they have the same responsibility as politicians and the powerful is sad. I cant absolutely say if I was a popular artist I wouldn't choose loyalty to the machine when the machine provides a thriving existence, but when your critique is of the powerful and not punching down, apologies feel like cowardice.
