the militarization of the everyday, the absurd

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop."

Hope is a word that is applicable only to those who grasp reality, which does not include the involvement in mainstream political parties. Hope is about fighting against the real forces of destruction not chanting the marketer's "Yes, we can". Hope, in the hands of realists, spreads fear into the black heart of the elite. But hope, real hope, remains thwarted by our collective self-delusion.

We should reinvent utopia in many ways, ways that we aren't even allowed to thinking.
