JOURNALING with JOSH

If you are furious about how our federal government is treating immigrants, recognize that they treat every human who non-violently resists the goals of the United States the same way, and the goals of our nation are not grounded in compassion and justice, but supremacy. On the faith that our supremacy is moral,  And they convince us that every policy and civil rights win is proof of our claims as just rulers of the world. When all they actually are doing is wielding them as a tool to weaponize us for their goals. And as soon as those goals are met, civil rights go back on the chopping block. As we saw with Roe v Wade.  These are tools to get us to fall in line, played off as politics, manufacturing consent to swap between the "lesser evils" so well controlled that it feels irresponsible to vote anyone else. Trump brought foreign policy home, and voting establishment just means the blinders are easier to accept. We need to stop being complacent in our own de-humanization. How...

Its funny how the comfortable are so fearful of socialism. The concept of services not grounded in extraction of wealth. As we are seeing them smiling as they stranglehold private ownership on every last tree that exists, burning and cutting them down to build Amazon warehouses. They've weaponized comfort as leverage against the future of all human life on the planet. Once they have control of everything, once they've convinced you that they've earned it all, why should they afford you comfort at that point?

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.

  I have a feeling something greatly beneficial will happen for the working class to make amends for sending us to war. That's when we know they are going to send American troops to die for the genocidal ethnostate. Iran won't be an easy fight, and the world can see how deceitful the whole thing has been from the beginning. The Media will focus mostly on how amazingly reformational it will be. Because politics is done by them to manage us, and fascists are allowed to redistribute wealth to keep us in line while the empire does whatever empires do, where as liberals are allowed to silence dissent and enforce state hegemony. The division of labor has built up a very transparent pattern. And because we live in an age where the truth doesnt matter, they won't even bother to lie convincingly anymore.

Thank you, Iran, for showing the world that Bullies do not control it all. The number one law of western imperialism, if they accuse you of manufacturing nukes, you need to start manufacturing nukes. Because they will murder many of your civilians and crush your civilization if you do not possess an equalizer of some sort. And most of the imperial core will not even pretend to care. Here's the thing. We comfortable citizens of rome assume that our murder campaign across the world is successful because we arent seeing the consequences of our economic terrorism and control.  If you truly believe we can loot the planet indefinitely, that no one will remember, that moving the chess pieces fast enough hides the blood on our hands. Then you have more faith in this empire than I ever will.

  we've lost entirely because we are unwilling to engage each other in political discourse and instead view each other as potential career building steps, and value the economic opportunity we see in each other more than the community and society we exist in together. It's a brilliantly underhanded world we've built in service of the Empire. But the execution still isn't bulletproof. We can still turn back and say "What matters more is a just world and a direct communication with each other" "Oh Josh, you can have both, you just have to select your inner circle where as everyone else is a networking for your career" I'm not convinced that leads to a better world. The rewards for submission to American Empire are vast and can be masked as fulfilling.
