Fear. Fatigue. Friction and a whole lotta fucked up. That is what they want. The oligarchs want the rest of us to be cleaved in two and arguing about all that which does not matter. Look at what they’re really doing, set aside the firehoses of shit coming from media – social, corporate, mainstream, no stream – because it’s just not useful. It is only going the fuel fear and outrage which leads to fighting each other and exhaustion.
Standing up means being separated from those spaces which for me can be lonely but I’m not going to live there. I live here where the mountains meet the pacific.
Do not be afraid of anything. This is our country and it’s the only one we have.
~ Alexei Navalny (June 4, 1976 – February 16, 2024, murdered by Putin)
Nope. No fear, I can’t waste energy there because it only ripples outward. It’ll take a ton more energy but today is another day of doing it.
