Naarm artist. Frustratingly curious. Just Say No to empire, not even once. "It's a spectrum". No war but class war.

Countries are a tool of imperialism. It's our cultures that bind us. Borders only break us apart.

It's weird to me that people join the military and police force and forget they are working for people that are trying to hurt them. Step out of line, and your co-worker is going to ruin your life. Kids, don't be part of the empire.

One thing that gives me hope is that The Establishment is so blatantly corrupt tha now even people who usually don't care about politics, are starting to actually care about politics.

Just watched the USA veterans march. On one hand, these people volunteered to kill strangers for an empire of oligarchs, which is evil. One the other hand they seem confused that they have been neglected, which is ignorance of their own history. Australian isn’t much different.

'Jobs for mates' review shows this is an arrogant government dripping with contempt for integrity
Labor sat on a report on cozy board appointments for two years, then released a risible set of 'principles' that will do nothing to end cronyism — it's all part of an increasingly grubby government.

I’ve been living in a city for about 20 years now. When it’s late I still like looking at the other building with their lights on, wondering why they are still awake.

politically we have not moved past empire. now we have nuclear weapons which are far beyond any previous concept of empire. empires only exists because of force. so where are we now? one world. like it or not. one world.

Economists and ethicists have tried to make emotional responses a science. Which is stupid and also bad science. Yet for some weird reason policymakers still site them. it’s essentially gish gallop .

it concerns me that many conflate Society with Empire. Empire as a concept is old enough to completely engulf the globe, but is still only a concept of a society. It's not a good concept.
