I will die
but that is all I shall do for death
I am not on his payroll.

I will not tell him the whereabouts of my friends
nor of my enemies
though he promises me much
I will not map him a route to any mans door.

Am I a spy in the land of the living
that I should deliver men to death?

We’re trying to survive an era bought and twisted by a handful of men my age, who were themselves shaped by 1970s and 80s South Africa.

Notably Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. (Also lesser figures like David Sacks, and Patrick Soon-Shiong, who controls the LA Times.)

"Isn't it strange that enlightened men have convinced themselves & others that those who have taken their property & restricted their liberties are their friends &associates? And that innocent, peaceful people, who, at the other end of world, never disturbed them are their enemies?"
Baudeau (1771)
