It feels like the ruling classes of the world (and the wide swaths of people they keep under the illusion of being their peers) are coming dangerously close to not having any more lies to tell.
The most racist, fascist people in the world are starting to sound like people I know as freedom fighters and revolutionaries. They *insist* that someone is out to get them, they insist that their rights are being threatened. They step on our necks and cry out that they can't breathe. They burn our cities down and cry out that their homes are in danger.
It is difficult to find hope these days, when the news seems so hopeless—but this bold-faced, upside-down relationship that the fascists have with the truth comes from a place of desperation. Not strength.
The whole world is watching. And you can fool some of the people some of the time...
