oh damn cdc are you for real? a ten day general strike could grind capitalism to a halt? well hell yeah i’m in

failed state

been having a lot of heavy convos lately about combining resources to weather shortages and state failures. we joke about how nice it must be to have a government, when the reality of our current government is that it only exists to most of us as an instrument of violence. evictions, sweeps, gassed protests, plague-ravaged prisons, and a legal system that virtually never stops excusing fascist vigilantes. so we talk real shit because this is real shit. are you in it for real?

two types of people:
- folks who understand talking about capitalism is a crucial part of organizing to survive the ongoing collapse
- folks who roll their eyes and go “are you still on about that”

finally listening to It Could Happen Here because, well, it quite literally is happening
