Systemic reform is a handshake with those whose hands are covered in blood.
The lack of a public searching for an ulterior motive is precisely the ulterior motive that public relation’s branches most hope to accomplish.
Only among children—our sane counterparts—does it make any sense to use the saying “one step at a time”. It is otherwise absurdly misplaced, for we have brought upon ourselves the absurd world we do 30 miles at a time.
Good people coerced to do bad things: also known as capitalism.
That we think we are privy to the chess game of the elites is itself part of their larger chess game. We are not the interior decorators of their throne rooms but they the decorators of ours. They decorate our minds with fanciful ideologies of control, and laugh at the comedy.
Contemporary class warfare is not so much about the rich stealing from the poor, but the rich engineering a poor that freely gives to the rich their land, their labor, their possessions, and pretty soon their children. Government plays the role of a pump medium to keep this exchange generally moving in one direction, and banks seem to be the benefactors.
We all need a god to believe in, and we all need to believe in ourselves. Why not combine the two?
At what point do we call the diluted soup water?
Circumstances don’t have to get to the point of being lifeless, to realize the grave danger of less life.
The inclination to put off fighting the battle, is the one of the most prominent aspects of the battle that we have to fight.
An individuated life is only a step away from death; fortunately for the individual they have some say in the direction of their next step.

People who believe everything they are told are a haven for those who profit on lies.
The IOU that outlives you, outlives itself. The untimely mortality associated with the IOU is what makes it an immortal weapon of the powerful who use it as an immediate denial of resources. We masses similarly have the ability to deny others access to resources, but for we don’t see ourselves as masses but as individuals.
To pardon the world’s sin is not to take it away, but to give it millennia to flourish unchallenged.
The nature of our crimes tells of how far from nature we have strayed.
Representative democracy is the human version of a dog run—we use up all of our own energy in a space narrowed by those who we let be our masters. While the oligarchs promise they’ll take care of our shit, they leave it there long enough for us to run through it and get infected by it.
The livestock industry milks, bleeds, and slaughters all the other herd animals—why should it be any different for we humans?
