  • don’t read Tony and the Beetles

    https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40964 [Orbit 1.2, 1953]

    don’t think about every amazing Philip K. Dick story or novel that has been made into a good or bad movie

    don’t think about allegory

    don’t think about maga and carney and the c/a/n/a/d/a project

    don’t think about south africa, or ground penetrating radar or residential “schools” or marked graves or mass graves, or “Indian Day Schools” or the “Indian Land Trust” [which is maybe worth C$600b to C$3t] or the great canadian genocide [ongoing, as well as historical]

    don’t think about what “Indians” means

    don’t think about Indigenous women making up less than 4% of the population here, but 48% of the federal prison population [it was 24% a decade ago, and 12% two decades ago]

    don’t think about how “remigration” is straight out of the nazi playbook

    don’t think about Nakba, or October 7 or eight decades of slow or brisk genocide of zionist psychopaths in Palestine, or zionist settler paramilitary death squads, or how canadian settlers are…on someone else’s land

    don’t think about Gaza or the manifest destiny of greater israel

    don’t think about the flotillas and the beatings and torture and sexual assault, or how the canadian and swedish governments did sweet fuck all to maintain how they are appeasing the zionist psychopaths, so they chose to not support “their” citizens who merely seek an end to genocide, when our elected leaders cavort with those fuckers

    don’t think about antifa and how we were all antifa until 80 years ago, and now with most wwii vets dead, we’ve let nazis and fascists exist under cover of civility politics

    don’t think about how mairikkkans are afraid to physically stop, let alone shoot or kill masked terrorists in their streets kidnapping people, under the guise of homeland security

    don’t think about how naive it is to think that if we protest peacefully the fascists will just stop, but they don’t think like us, and when 80 years ago we had to kill them as fast as possible to stop a global fascist takeover

    don’t think about the global fascist takeover happening right now, shhhhh

    don’t think about how so many people think antifa is an organization with a leader, whose girlfriend has been taken into custody by ice

    don’t think

    just, don’t

    but do, do read Tony and the Beetles!

  • end racists, don’t appease them

    end racists, don’t appease them

    This is so vile! This sick, racist verbal assault at Coquitlam Centre mall.

    The c/a/n/a/d/a project pretends to be friendly and polite. Sometimes we are nice, but we are rarely kind.

    We ignore our, and other genocides.

    We are steeped in white patriarchy in our systems, culture, institutions and sport (Hockey Canada rapists included here)

    The tri-cities used to be predominantly white decades ago, so it’s no surprise the whites are emboldened to spread their racist filth out loud, in public.

    But GENERATIONS ago, the tri-cities was Indigenous land, which is mostly lost on white people despite Coquitlam being an actual Indigenous word. Colonialism is a core, unexamined identity here.

    White people: our jobbbbb is to intervene and confront racists we encounter. There are no bystanders, but enablers and appeasers.

  • canadians are nice, but not kind (Tim Hortons version…)

    canadians are nice, but not kind (Tim Hortons version…)

    nice is when we pretend to be good people, but deep down our racist, colonial, genocidal blood festers

    kind demands authenticity that we mock with “nice,” and it enhances human dignity

    heres a cool video about a pay-it-forward chain at timmies

    great ad concept, mostly because it perpetuates the mythology

    most comments are heartwarming, naturally

    then there’s this:

    i love me a good canada

    i haven’t seen it tho

    the c/a/n/a/d/a project is vile, but we can make something better

    reconciliation is fake because we skipped the truth

    anyyyyy day now we can start embracing truths and build a real place that doesn’t depend on the false comfort that comes from racism

    one of the many ironies of this place is how timmies is a mairikkkan company now and this particular racist talks about the staff, not the ownership

    someday can be today!
