notes/quotes from substack post:

Revolution Now – If not now, then never. – may 2 2024

my crash

But there is nothing saying that we can’t be prepared or organized or building community right now. I would say that it is likely the most important thing we could be doing, in fact.

from on the ground ness: we were swimming in that free\dom, uncertainty, unpredictability, seeming chaos.. something you can’t unsee.. and now something i can’t not do.. for (blank)’s sake

swartz most important law et al

I understand that people are divided- but there is *one thing that unites us, and that is the survival of our species. We won’t be able to do it without one another. It is our only advantage at this point. And as we’ve seen from campus protesting (regardless of whether or not you agree with it), when people outnumber police, we **can protect one another far more efficiently.

*rather 2 things.. aka: maté basic needs.. need to org around those legit needs

**gershenfeld something else law as best ‘protection’

I’m *not crazy enough to believe that this will be easy. But I’m also not crazy enough to believe that doing nothing will be easier. Revolution is not a wish- it is a necessity.

*i am.. in fact.. i think takes a lot of work is one of our key cancerous distractions/red flags

Those in positions of great power will never relinquish that power, ever. Power corrupts and *we are talking about people who are so completely disconnected from their humanity that they most literally view us as nothing more than the cattle that they pump full of chemicals and slaughter by the billions. We are nothing to them.

*this is all of us.. ie: black science of people/whales law.. need global detox leap

humanity needs a leap.. to get back/to simultaneous spontaneity .. simultaneous fittingness.. everyone in sync..

I always hear the argument that they would never kill us off because they need us for labor- which by the way, is not a great argument. Isn’t that bad enough to recognize revolution as necessary?

But it’s also no longer the case. *Technology can and will replace most human labor. Not to mention the fact that we all know that the Fed prints money at their will. They do not need us and do not want us.

*work/labor et al.. tech to replace et al.. cancerous distraction

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental expo labeling).. to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it

legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do

how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..

ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition

Why would a Superpower of a nation, founded on genocide and slavery, change? Why would that system, which benefitted the top greatly, decide to fundamentally change?

because there is no us & them.. we all crave missing pieces.. and if we org around those two legit needs.. everything will fall into place.. what we need is to let go enough for all to experience the unconditional part of left to own devices ness

hari rat park law et al

Why would they do this if they had good intentions?

because we’re all sick.. krishnamurti measure law.. hari present in society law.. what we need is hari rat park law.. not the whac-a-mole-ing ness of cast first stone ness

The reason is simple: they don’t have good intentions. They never have. Ask the people around the world who have been bombed or starved about their intentions. Or the marginalized people in our own country who have been policed illegally or shot dead in the streets. Or the parents who can’t feed their children or keep their house, despite working full-time. Ask them about their intentions.

need deeper convos.. khan filling the gaps law et al .. ie: jihad (doc)

I promise you; we are in the belly of the beast, and we are the only ones who can stop it. It needs to start here. We, as Americans, need to stand in solidarity together and with the people of other nations who are victims of our tax dollars, and show that we will not consent to this any longer.

rather.. need to model a nother way for all of us to live.. graeber revolution law et al

What does this look like? It has to be in the form of direct action. We need to fund mutual aid first and foremost. We need to financially take care of one another to the best of our abilities. This is the only way people can survive when they begin organizing and acting.

mutual aid ness not deep enough for healing (roots of)..

how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us.. ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental expo labeling).. to facil a legit global detox leap.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it

ie: imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

perhaps let’s try/code money (any form of measuring/accounting/people telling other people what to do) as the planned obsolescence .. where legit needs are met w/o money.. till people forget about measuring..again..

ie: sabbatical ish transition

I know there are positives to Twitter/X and I’m very grateful for the community I have connected with. But I need to hold myself accountable and DO SOMETHING. I don’t know what that looks like, to be honest- so any feedback is appreciated. I’m no one special. I am a peasant. But I just need to start somewhere, and my phone screen is not it.

findings – on the ground ness:

1\ undisturbed ecosystem (common\ing) can happen

2\ if we create a way to ground the chaos of 8b legit free people

intro’d to her via zachary marlow repost [https://x.com/e_galv/status/1829160121651314761]:

Americans don’t vote based on their principles. They vote based on their fears. It is an emotional act, not a rational one. And that’s exactly what the ruling class wants. A population so terrified, that they forego logic, critical thinking, and self-preservation. In their desperation, they place their trust in their predators. They ignore the red flags, the lies, and the obvious. They ignore history and reality itself. Their fear solidifies their fate. They willingly hand their power to their oppressors. They defend their oppressors. They empathize with them. They believe they are their saviors. But the powerful exist based on a farce. They maintain their dominance with lies, propaganda, and manipulation. Nothing about their power is real. Once enough of us recognize this and stop consenting to this charade, they will lose that power. And we will gain it. Once we recognize this, there will be no stopping us. We are far too many.

voting ness is part of the charade the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us need to try/facil curiosity over decision making .. the unconditional part of left to own devices ness.. that dance

‘in undisturbed ecosystem ..the avg individual.. left to its own devices.. behaves in ways that serve/stabilize the whole’ –dana meadows
