Happy birthday to Alan Moore, writer, performer and magician, who is 71 today. In this short video Moore explains his attitude towards magic and what it is for.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Actually, it was a crime.

If you are lucky you might not ever meet a genuine fascist face to face.

But you are going to meet a collaborator probably every day.

Best you decide what your strategy is going to be right now.

And who your friends are. And aren't.

This "vote as if your life depended on it" shit...

It is the people who you vote for who are running cover for the businessmen who are fucking your life up.

It is the people you vote for who are sending bombs to kill strangers.

It is the people you vote for who give cops tanks and immunity.

The people you vote for ARE LITERALLY THE LAST PEOPLE ANYONE SHOULD VOTE FOR.

Sure, keep telling yourself its about sides. But its not. Its about political systems. Its about human relations.

If you are fixated on constantly tooting bad news... stop... think... and relax.

Is this the best use of your time?

What are you achieving?

What is it doing to you?

Its time to accept that whilst the white countries of Euro-America have pretended for centuries that they are the forces for peace and progress they are actually the forces of prejudice and exploitation.

They aren't alone in this. But they are dominant in it.

WE ARE THE PROBLEM. And we aren't doing anything to change it.

@HauntedOwlbear Or more people are pretending to be under 25.

“What does fighting crime mean, exactly? Does it mean upholding the law when a woman shoplifts to feed her children, or does it mean struggling to uncover the ones who, quite legally, have brought about her poverty?”

(Alan Moore, "Watchmen")

"Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us."

(Alan Moore, "Watchmen")

We don't need billionaires.

We don't need prime ministers and presidents.

We don't need multi-national corporations.

We don't need militarised billion dollar police forces.

THEY NEED US.

Because without us dancing to their tunes THEY ARE NOTHING.

DISOBEY. DISOBEY AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT.

BECAUSE IT DOES. ITS A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION.

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED MASS DISOBEDIENCE?

They need our cooperation to survive.

HISTORY LESSON

"Kidnapping" was originally literally as it sounds - the practice of stealing children so that they could be set to work by others. Like "impressment" (the practice of taking people and forcing them to join a military force or be crew on a ship) it was one of the formative practices of what became capitalism. This has always been based on force and theft.

Strange how Macron would rather work with fascists than with anyone who might actually even remotely put people first.

They see us as things to be kept under control.

#Macron #France

The politics of the West is simply this: keep anyone genuinely left of centre completely out of power. Even if they win it.

That's it.

#politics

Capitalist society is a criminal enterprise maintained so that a privileged and rich elite can systematically exploit an incarcerated mass.

All problems come back to this and this is what must be smashed.

As I noted to someone the other day, wealth insulates you from harm, or consequences, to a very large degree. You can probably not think of anyone wealth has made a better person. It exaggerates what was already there.

If "heterosexuality" is "natural" and "normative" then you shouldn't need to say so, much less need laws to make it something legally enforceable.

It should just be the case without saying a word. And you should stfu about it.

There are no trans women competing at the Olympics. In fact, there's only ever been one trans woman who did compete and she came last.

But there IS a man competing who was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl after filling her full of booze.

But you don't hear the anti-trans crowd who are all about "protecting women and girls" talking about that. Its invisible like it doesn't matter.

Utter frauds.

In England some white people are committing acts of criminal damage and chanting racist chants because some other white people, who are liars, told them Muslims are to blame for everything.

Meanwhile, in cyberspace lots of agitated and easily-led white bigots are brigading a female Algerian Muslim boxer because some other white liars told them she was a man.

In neither case do facts seem to matter. If you want to know what the post-fact world looks like, this is it.
