I don’t know why this is, but so many people fail to see the main point of their (our) political existence at this moment in history. They don’t get it, or choose not to get it.
But the reality of the big political struggle is fairly simple, and I choose to say it like it is even at the risk of sounding simplistic. We are fighting an ideology and a monstrous machine of full domination and colonization that aims to fully control (and monetize) every aspect of the life of every human being (and then maybe aliens, if they find them).
It is one big struggle when the CEO of a medical insurance company gets shot in NYC, as when Yemeni rebels block the Red Sea, Georgians fight for their independence, Palestinians seek liberation, Venezuela insists on electing its leadership, students in universities the world over protest America’s genocide enforcement, and people fight the twisted beauty models put up by Hollywood and the advertising and plastic surgery industries.
it is all just one big struggle against American capitalist, imperialist, colonialist, full-spectrum domination which isn’t directed just against this or that group, country, or civilization, but against each and every one of us, including, of course, American citizens.
I think it is extremely important to stress this unity of causes, or struggles; without clarity and focus this is going to be so much harder and more painful.
I’m going to write and talk a lot more about this point (I’m actually writing a book about it). We need to get as many people as possible to see and understand it.
I’d really like to hear what you think about it, and how such an understanding can be made more common.
