A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

Just now, when every one is bound, under pain of a decree in absence convicting them of lèse-respectability, to enter on some lucrative profession, and labour therein with something not far short of enthusiasm, a cry from the opposite party, who are content when they have enough, and like to look on and enjoy in the meanwhile, savours a little of bravado and gasconade. And yet this should not be. Idleness so called, which does not consist in doing nothing, but in doing a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class, has as good a right to state its position as industry itself.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1877-07), “An Apology for Idlers,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 36

As Epstein Files Turn Into Partisan Circus, Institutional Power Protects Its Own

Did I share this yet? One of the best movies ever and a great glimpse into Christianity and excesses of the ruling class. It's rough and not for the timid, based on historical fact.

A quotation from George Orwell

One ought not to pay any attention to Hitler’s recent line of talk about being the friend of the poor man, the enemy of plutocracy, etc etc. Hitler’s real self is in Mein Kampf, and in his actions. He has never persecuted the rich, except when they were Jews or when they tried actively to oppose him. He stands for a centralised economy which robs the capitalist of most of his power but leaves the structure of society much as before. The State controls industry, but there are still rich and poor, masters and men. Therefore, as against genuine Socialism, the moneyed class have always been on his side. This was crystal clear at the time of the Spanish civil war, and clear again at the time when France surrendered. Hitler’s puppet government are not working men, but a gang of bankers, gaga generals and corrupt right-wing politicians.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-02-19), “The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius,” Part 2 “Shopkeepers at War,” sec. 3, The Searchlight Books [ed. Fyvel and Orwell]

I sometimes ask myself in which f***g snake pits those fascists survived the last - let's say - 80 years and how it came that they are now taking over the evil business their grandfathers left behind unfinished ... And then I remember that our societies were never cleansed from those fascist creatures of the dark. They were just shadow men and quite a few shadow women too I guess, who now dare to come out of their castles and mansions and whatever ... Let's put the spotlight back on them ... and call them what they are, f***g fascist nepo kids!

@lillyfinch @havvyhh2 And these monsters become the #rulingclass

OMG, these people are so out of touch. I don't own 1 home, much less 10 or 12 homes, this is nuts.

My mother and father died destitute from losing insurance during cancer and cirrhosis, this is what government needs to deal with.
#Felon47 #RulingClass

#Representative #democracy is the vehicle by which the #RulingClass get their will imposed upon the rest of us, by tricking us into thinking that we ever had a choice, and that this is what we chose. Because when the party you voted for does evil, you're less likely to protest it.
It is autocracy covered by a veneer of democracy, and that veneer is wearing off

I have a hypothesis that pedophilia functions as an informal rite of passage into the American ruling class. It serves several key purposes for this group:

First, it creates a perverse form of solidarity—a "if we go down, you go down with us" bond—that ensures mutual silence and loyalty.

Second, it acts as a ultimate test of commitment, demonstrating a willingness to sacrifice children for the cause of wealth and power. It is the final sign of having sold one's soul.

Furthermore, it is a profound display of contempt for the rest of humanity. By violating one of society's most sacred taboos, they performatively demonstrate that they exist above the common people and their morals.

While not a formal organization, it operates as a neo-secret-society agreement, an implicit understanding among the elite that reinforces their power and separation.

What exactly did we expect from a #PeterThielPuppet?
It's overdue that we take back our country from Christian Nationalists, radical racists, and sociopathic, right-wing billionaires. As #WarrenBuffet said years ago, this is not a culture war but a #ClassWar.
Electing the #OrangeFelon might turn out the best thing that ever happened as the ugly #RulingClass now is emboldened to show their ugly, antidemocratic face. While it might be quite difficult to remove them from power, with enough determination and support by everyday Americans, it can be done! So far all their lies, chaos, corruption, and cruelty seem to have backfired biggly.

..his so-called job which in reality is his whole life. he's now a prisoner, a pariah in society, because nobody wants to know him now we all know he's a sexoffender himself, bc he has paid off his accuser #VirginiaGioffre.
as the #UKgov has taken the right to protest away & imprisoned hundreds of elderly pensioners on false terrorist charges, we know that the #RulingClass do that to avoid accountability for their own crimes..

best way to spend #halloween & #Samhain is watching how 2 excellent journalists held #AndrewWindsor to account in the most explosively baffling live interview ever.

let it be the start of the end of authority in every human's life

#GifsArtidote: let me explain. for the first time ever, one of the most powerful men in the hierarchy of society is being held to account. an actual prince of one of the oldest imperialist super powers in the world has lost his titles, his home, his so-called job which in reality is his whole life. he's now a prisoner, a pariah in society, because nobody wants to know him now we all know he's a sexoffender himself, bc he has paid off his accuser #VirginiaGioffre.
as the #UKgov has taken the right to protest away & imprisoned hundreds of elderly pensioners on false terrorist charges, we know that the #RulingClass do that to avoid accountability for their own crimes.

we know that when powerful men pay off anyone pressing charges, that probably means they're guilty.
it means one law for us, no law for them. it shows we cannot fight power in court, & we cannot trust the judiciary or any of the systems of power.
this interview is how andrew is held to account & now he can't show his face in public ever again cause he will be hunted down until we, the ppl feel he has suffered enough.

but it's not just about him. monarchy should be banned globally. hierarchy should be banned universally. #hierarchy has to become such a taboo, that the word itself is erased from our collective memory forever.
there are better ways to organise society, but we've all been brainwashed & conditioned to believe #capitalism & hierarchy is the best way, cause see how it has lifted millions out of poverty, and without leaders we would just kill eachother.

has it? would we? materialistically yes, but everybody is emotionally, physically & psychologically extremely poor.
there has been generations of neglect, exploitation & abuse done to ppl through #conditioning, #manipulation, #gaslighting, #brainwashing, frankly psychological warfare through white-supremacist capitalist & #imperialist advertisements, propaganda & forced so-called #education from birth. and everybody knows society can function without management, cause when they're on holiday nobody notices.

this interview is an example of how we can use their own weapons against them too. and the most powerful weapon is #psychology.
a lot of these powerful ppl are displaying #narcissistic & #psychopathic behaviour. so, learn about it, how to recognise & counteract it. but start with your self. what's your position in this dynamic?
#ChangeTheWorldStartWithYourSelf that's what andrew has to do now, & all of us as we were on the #NarcissisticRoundabout with him, whether you like it or not. we all paid for his lifestyle, we all waved the fucking flag at one point in our lives, we all accepted the status quo, and nobody stopped him.
and we could have, collectively.

Twas a different time, but Marx was focused on #Suffrage. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democra... " in #TheCommunistManifesto (1848) and later works that "the first step in the revolution by the working class, is to raise the #proletariat to the position of #rulingclass, to win the battle of democracy",
