If you’ve never felt shame for your lack of rage as an entire people were exterminated before your eyes, unmoved to share and amplify their plight to force governments to stop gunning them down with your tax dollars, now is the time.

I commend you if you’ve managed to stay a sane, empathetic human being who cares about this world beyond ego and selfish pleasures, lending your voice to those struggling beyond your comprehension, even at the risk of your own prospects. Read more --
Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?
The infinite month of January + student protests + the power you didn't realize you had.

Why are student protests in Serbia so significant? Because these students are not affiliated with any political party. They are self-organized through student committees, without leaders, making them the most democratic and progressive self-organized movement—and a threat to any corrupt government.

My case study of the resistance. It’s my War and Peace, my Crime and Punishment — I started drafting this piece in October of last year, and it might be the most important piece I’ve ever written.
The Case for the Resistance
It’s always "complicated" when you want to take something from somebody.

Can we take a moment to recognize just how much the resistance has accomplished, both militarily and politically — fighting not only their most brutal, depraved occupier but also the collective Western superpowers?

Whodunit? The wind? Please. Know thy enemy. This is not a comparison. It’s the continuation. Pretty Villages burn beautifully while those who rule us line their pockets. And they don’t care if Palestine or Palisades burn.

Palestine and Palisades Are Burning for the Same Reason
For prioritizing the advancement of capitalist and colonial interests over the lives and well-being of millions.

That feeling you have today, one we all share, that gut-wrenching nausea looking at the world around us — is the new you being born. No longer consumed by myths about the people around you, or the world in general. You get it now. Be that new you in 2025!

This is where I regained my hope and renewed my pursuit of humanity in a deprived and unjust world. I realized that while I may not have the power to end unkindness, injustice, propaganda, and lies on a global scale, I do have the power to disrupt these within myself.

You have to be an anomaly in this messed-up world, full of lies, deception, violence, and gaslighting us into oblivion. You have to be the link in the chain that breaks this propaganda-induced coma.

The answer is by being the representation of what you want to see in the world, regardless of not seeing it. By being a constant reminder of radical truth and speaking it out within the system, regardless of who hears you.

The only way I see us moving forward is by being authentic to the core—by representing an absolute truth within ourselves. How do we find the motivation to move forward? How do we pick ourselves up from the disappointment of what this world has become? How do we overcome all this hopelessness?

Dave Matthews: "If every human rights org in the world, Oxfam, Amnesty International, UN, Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, say there's a genocide happening in Gaza; why is our government more outraged by the use of the word genocide then the possibility on the one being committed?"

Israel’s relentless pursuit of taking Palestinian land, culture, and lives in self-defense; alongside the US—left us all with the thankless job of witnessing the stark contrast between America’s self-image and the way it treats the rest of the world—as a playground for plunder and exploitation.

Every single crime of the empire is dependant on the collective labour of the workforce that powers it — both the domestic working class and the exploited workers in subservient nations. Withholding that labour grinds the gears of the empire to an immediate halt.
