Considering USA’s claim to love individualism, they sure spend a lot of money and energy trying to make people conform, uniform, and be uninformed.

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 14-May-2024 00:43:02 JST Jo Jitsu @thomasfuchs they want the data to surveille, empoverish, deny, control, and militarize the world into their ‘new world order’.
They are competing only to build a better Maxwell’s Demon to usurp even Time and the flow of physics. To entrench a status quo. -

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 13-May-2024 01:18:15 JST Jo Jitsu I hesitated to block this person. (CJ) But now have as they are maliciously subtweeting about myself & another ‘warning’ people about us lefties who ‘denigrate empathy’.
Their own behaviour proves our point. They make false assumptions, are rude, & now spread fear of us. We were just explaining the value of empathy is marginal at best. They demonstrated hypocrisy not empathy or understanding & turned instead to abuse, excluding, & spreading fear of us.
The thread. -

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 00:24:53 JST Jo Jitsu And being autistic has made me a traitor to social norms. Social norms are often a militaristic facade that seeks to control and obliterate individuality and enforce supremacies while promoting the idea of individualism & freedom. Whereas I have been allowing people to be themselves, unique individuals & embracing them in the whole picture. Bad girl or good girl?
I don’t care what you call me. I’m going to do me. I always seem to be on the right side of history.

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 00:24:53 JST Jo Jitsu I’m a traitor to my class for being born to considerable wealth but bc I hated their financial abuses & wealth supremacy & called it out, I was ultimately disinherited and excluded.
I have been accused of being a traitor to my faith & Jewish background, for being anti Zionist as well as believing in the words of Jesus.
I was born & raised by GOD to be ready to be thought a traitor or on the wrong side of those who want to do wrong to others.
I have been a rebel just by caring.

Ive been a traitor to my race as a ww by calling out racism & bigotry in white people incl. family. I’m a traitor to my gender for not marrying or having kids or otherwise conforming to gender… -

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 03-May-2024 13:49:45 JST Jo Jitsu @blogdiva these people grew up with regular school mass murders, their world overheating from the unwillingness to regulate pollutants, and a level of global information access way beyond those days.
They are more knowledgeable and more media savvy too.I think they know the stakes have never been higher with so much at risk, so much worth fighting for and defending.

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 29-Apr-2024 03:15:46 JST Jo Jitsu Democracy was never meant to be run by #election bc it is too easily corrupted by oligarchs.
It was always meant to be by sortition & there is a longer history to that & it's success, than this version of 'democratic' elections which is failing us & fallen to #oligarchs as was known & expected by Athenians.
Aristotle said #elections were aristocratic & we're seeing that right down to dynasties.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition#History

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 29-Apr-2024 03:15:09 JST Jo Jitsu The powerful and clear presentation by Ralph Wilde to the ICJ of the actual history the Palestinians have suffered all this time from Israel and complicit nations and the necessary demands the ICJ must enforce to be a credible body and fulfill its mandate. It’s a must watch. Starts at 57:20

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 26-Mar-2024 11:19:21 JST Jo Jitsu @marytzu my last job they had evening events at the place and staff were ‘invited’ to attend…but later I was rebuked for not attending because it turns out they considered it part of my job though completely unpaid to be present (and likely have to work too.)
I refused to go. -

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 26-Mar-2024 11:19:11 JST Jo Jitsu Of which they would pay for only 7.5….and even then.
This same place had me work 90 hours overtime that I had agreed to only on condition that I got those same hours back in time off, because they refused to pay me for them. They agreed, I did the hours then they reneged on the deal. It took me a year, and in two separate fights bc they’d only grant me 45 hours…which I got, then argued again for the balance promised and owed.

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 25-Mar-2024 07:48:11 JST Jo Jitsu Police were way over the top at the very peaceful protest organized by Jews against the genocide in Gaza. So many cops, corralling us, preventing us from both marching, & even leaving. The police blocked all of Yonge St. & side streets. More cop cars and police than there were protestors. They should be embarrassed. We need more people coming out to these. Safety in numbers.
There were more cops for this than I ever saw at any protest.

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 07-Mar-2024 11:43:32 JST Jo Jitsu The people fighting against fascism and poverty and injustice and climate disaster with little solidarity and money and support should not stand alone. Should not be without your vote by your presence.
Government sees you don’t /really/ care by your being uncommitted in everyday life. By your not showing up at protests. By not giving to the person suffering when you could. By taking more than you need. By your lack of meaningful solidarity. By your silence to not risk job, friends, family.

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 07-Mar-2024 11:43:13 JST Jo Jitsu Most people at the end of civilization are behaving way too ‘civilized’. Like, we’d have to fight less, if you fought more against those fighting us. Speak up! Show up! Give to those who’ve been harmed if you can. It can be support services…your time and skills, if not money.
Power to the people! -

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 04-Mar-2024 04:14:06 JST Jo Jitsu To those who told me to chill & trust the process re: how long it was taking to charge Trump instead of swiftly putting him in jail like the traitor he is, fuck you. It was self evident. Now he could win again. Take the pacifier out that silences you, grow up, deal with truth not illusions to just be a spectator. You put your trust in gov’t process that HAS failed you many times, & on the brink of collapsing as it slow walked justice further from itself. Delay of justice is denial of justice.

Jo Jitsu (joblakely@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 04-Mar-2024 01:57:43 JST Jo Jitsu @micchiato I’ve seen healthy well fed people at a company holiday party stab each other with forks to get at the not enough food buffet provided by our boss.
Of course massive insufficient provisions that are life and death, is going to cause more chaos than care. Especially among each other who might otherwise not attack each other. It’s extra cruel.
