Adjani s'est confiée au Monde pour une série d'entretiens, elle se dit "soulagée en ce moment avec le "'metoo" ambiant. "Ouf", confie-t-elle. Truffaut lui glissait des lettres sous sa porte, elle avait 20 ans à peine, Kontchalovski lui a sucé les doigts lors de leur première rencontre, et Godard a baissé son pantalon devant elle alors qu'elle était en plein deuil paternel. Les sales types. lemonde.fr/series-d-ete/articl

Früher war #Revolution einfacher: Wachen kampfunfähig machen, bestechen oder totschlagen, Burg einnehmen, Fürst und Family vom Hof jagen oder totschlagen, Schatztruhe plündern. Vermögen sind wieder umverteilt, König ernennt neuen Fürst, Zyklus beginnt neu.

Mit der mehrfachen Virtualisierung der Vermögen ist das ungleich schwieriger geworden. Irgendeinen superrich Dude zu überfallen würde ja genau gar nix ändern.

"perhaps this is just what happens when a government is too cowardly to ever state, in plain language, that not all concerns are legitimate, that whipping up hysteria is, at best, anti-social, and that feeling angry is not the same thing as being right."

-of course, the problem is that feeling angry often flows out of feeling right, or at least entitled ...

Today in Labor History August 14, 1791: Dutty Boukman led a Vodou ceremony with enslaved people from Saint Domingue plantations that led to the start of the Haitian Revolution, the largest slave uprising since the Spartacist revolt against the Roman empire. Boukman was born in Senegambia. His name, Boukman, came from the English “Book Man,” because he not only knew how to read, but taught other enslaved people how to read. He, and priestess Cécile Fatiman, had led a series of meetings with enslaved people prior to August 14 to organized and plan for the uprising. Boukman was killed by French troops a few months into the revolution. Trinidadian Marxist writer C. L. R. James wrote the best book on the Haitian Revolution: “The Black Jacobins,” (1938). Also, be sure to check out the wonderful music of the Haitian pop group, Boukman Eksperyans, named for the Haitian revolutionary, Dutty Boukman. A fictionalized version of Boukman plays the title character in Guy Endore's novel “Babouk,” an anti-capitalist parable about the Haitian Revolution.

I’m hoping we avoid an economic and societal collapse in the near future and transition successfully to a better world where possible instead, but collapse would remove many of the structures of power, and create opportunities for alternatives - especially for those who suffer so much under our current systems - as it seems it has in the past

Dites, c'est seulement à cause de mes cookies que je tombe souvent sur des titres suggérés pour moi qui font penser que les êtres non-humains s'organisent ? Ou vous aussi vous avez ça?

Là, j'ai un buffle qui tue un millionnaire en Afrique du sud, des méduses dans les piscines de refroidissement qui font fermer des réacteurs nucléaires, un rapace qui balance un poisson sur une ligne électrique et provoque un énorme incendie au Canada... [j'ai pas cliqué, je vous dis les titres]

Je me souviens des mouettes inoubliables qui avaient attaqué des drones durant une manif à Paris, ça a commencé là vous croyez ?

[Par contre je n'ai pas encore trouvé de titre avec estimation du bilan des victimes non humaines de l'incendie géant dans l'Aude... Les titres ne mentionnent que les victimes humaines (surtout leurs patrimoines) et les pertes végétales :blob_pensive: ]

So, as the "non maga" majority grows sicker everyday from watching a democratic civilization get flushed down the toilet to enrich elites, do we wait for mid terms or do we get started. We will be needing a revolution, and I mean a smart revolution, even though I don't fully know what that means yet.
Information, science and truth are being destroyed everyday....
People are being kidnapped and disappeared.
Another 6 months of this? Another 3.5 years?
