All white imperialist nations have benefitted from the destruction of the black body, you aren’t innocent just bc you live in Europe, Canada, or Australia.

also: anti-blackness exists universally and is not exclusive to white majority countries. Middle Easterners are anti-black. East and South Asians. Latin Americans.

We’re all complicit. Being non-white doesn’t exempt you from accountability.

revolutions and radical action are inherently violent and illegal, the entire point is to destroy the current system and radically restructure society

the way in which the people in power stay in power is by criminalizing the actions needed to take them down. they’re not going to abdicate just because you say please.

when you go to protests, be smart, be safe

Americans ignore the mass murder of students that is roiling Mexico

The violent disappearance of 43 students from a rural teachers college in Guerrero state has caused a political earthquake the likes of which Mexico has not seen in generations — perhaps even since the revolution of 1910. That makes it all the more baffling how little attention most people in the U.S. have paid to the unfolding tragedy.

To understand the historical significance — and the moral and political gravity — of what is occurring, think of 9/11, of Sandy Hook, of the day JFK was assassinated. Mexico is a nation in shock — horrified, pained, bewildered.

Mexico is on the brink. So why is America oblivious?

don’t do anything with the KKK credit card info. You risk getting yourself into a lot of legal trouble. Prank call them, spam the fuck out of their fax machines, order 20 pizzas and send them to their house, but seriously don’t risk getting arrested over credit card theft unless you know what you’re doing and u can cover ur tracks
