I'm still hearing people talking about how some parents took their children to the polls to show them how fucking important voting is , and how great the entire exercise in futility is. Great. Create more fucking sheep to bleat about all the same useless shit as you're fucking doing. Learn your critical thinking from a textbook. Fuck off. The same day, I had a conversation with a Native man about how the more he learned about this country, the more he realized how built on blood this entire democratic land is. He almost seemed overwhelmed by it all, even though he is Indigenous, and you'd think he'd know all about it before anyone else. It just shows you how deep the brainwashing goes, with all of the " greatest country on earth, eh " fucking crap.
Here's a quote I've posted before, but it is exactly what needs to be said about this fucking system :
Here's a quote I've posted before, but it is exactly what needs to be said about this fucking system :
In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”—without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality.
