Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

All Cops Are Bastards. Including your relative. All Nations Are Illegitimate. All Borders are Bullshit. Including yours.

  • Edit: For every downvote please comment with a different organization resisting ICE and organizing locally. Because if it’s just criticism of the groups that ARE resisting it’s not helping. Give people an alternative. I would LOVE people just listing groups that are resisting ICE in your area or nationally. Because that’s all I want.

    They can’t and won’t. Thought terminating cliche to deflect from the idea that electoralism isn’t good enough. We can’t vote our way out of this, but the rich want us to think that way. Brainwashed masses think Trump will let himself out of office beyond a casket.

    Weird how every time someone suggests doing something outside of filling bubbles on paper every 2/4 years, it’s an evil act. But mass murder, prison-industrial complex, the normalized mass poverty of everyone is justified and accepted.







  • It’s always amazing to see the media of the 80s just shitting on Japan. “Cheap mass market products that never work.” “They’re going to take all the American jobs.”

    In Back to the Future 2, McFly is seen as weak for having a job with a Japanese boss and getting fired for it.

    Cyberpunk has Japanese decorations and cosmetics because it was invented when Japan was the yellow peril.

    At the same time, Japanese-Americans were asking for reparations from the internment camps, charged with the crime of being Japanese and having all their assets sold off without any consent.

    Japan was able to help get a start on the next generation of writers with the mass production of anime into Western audiences. Now if someone doesn’t watch anime it’s seen as weird.

    Right now China is that “other” nation. I wonder if in 30 more years we’ll look back at it and go “What the fuck were we smoking in hating people we never even had contact with? No Chinese person ever deported me. No Chinese person ever called me slurs.”
