“You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. it is your spirit, or it is nowhere.” Ursula K. Le Guin
Freedom Is A Crime The reign of soft comfortable terror, the reign of necessity is upon us, everything defined by power is suddenly sacred, democracy is consuming itself in a frenzy of suicide, all freedom is referenced to protecting money, but never ours, only that which is taken from us because what is given was never actually given in the first place. Our institutions are proverbial frogs boiling, they have duped us in their complicit duplicity with the vanities of politics, so much is now don't, everything must be authorised, you shouldn't behave that way, everyone must conform in order to perform life, the sheep bleat, but woe betide they should bark; to challenge, to dissent, is to know that paradox, ever old, that freedom is a crime.
