  1. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    Hostility to the status quo may be derived from either of two sources: it may spring from sympathy with the unfortunate or from hatred of the fortunate. If it springs from the latter, it involves just as much limitation of sympathy as is involved in conservatism. Many revolutionaries in their day-dreams are not so much concerned with the happiness that is to come to the common people as with the vengeance that they will be able to wreak upon the insolent holders of power from whom they are suffering in the present.

    Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)

  2. @Jinx_HH ich hätte mich gefreut, wenn diese Regierung nichts getan hätte, als den #StatusQuo zu verwalten, das bisschen, was die sog. #Ampel erreicht hatte, zum Beispiel. Mit ihrem sinnlosen #Reformgequatsche aka #Sozialabbau haben sie die #scheißAfD verdoppelt. Und mal ehrlich, wer jetzt noch fordert #RotSchwarz sollte endlich mal handeln, treibt dieses Spiel weiter.

  5. #Money, the interesting thing about it is if you #exist in #poverty, you desperately need it for your day to day survival, then if your on the opposite end as in being a multi million or billionaire in reality money means nothing, because everything you own and do is leveraged off of debt that you one don't actually own and second can never actually satisfy, and the rules of the game are very different for those in poverty, and the rules are slightly different if your in the middle, but if your on top, the rules don't apply to you unless somehow your generation and hoarding of wealth imposes upon another top income holder, basically if your in poverty all the way to the bottom end of double digit millions, your beholden to the entire state if it where, and beyond that the entire state apparently is beholden to you and your ability to leverage debt, it is a rigged system of epic inequality and strongly embraces prejudice against the rest of us whom simply would appreciate the basics in life to be readily available without so much turmoil, and stress to our mental and physical wellbeing, money is an illusion of power and has left far to many of us going hungry, literally;

  6. Die politische Gegenwart ist paradox: Während den meisten Akteur*innen in Politik, Gesellschaft und Bewegungen klar ist, dass angesichts der Klimakatastrophe ein Weitermachen wie gehabt unmöglich ist, ist eine Alternative zum Status quo so unvorstellbar wie noch nie.

    Michael Hirsch und Kilian Jörg starten den Versuch, die linke Vorstellungskraft wieder aufzuforsten – inspiriert von dem Konzept Zone à défendre – ZAD, der „zu verteidigenden Zone“. Die berühmte ZAD in Notre-Dame-des-Landes besteht seit über 15 Jahren als ein aus Verwertungszusammenhängen herausgelöstes Gebiet, in dem mit neuen sozialen Beziehungen, mit neuen Verhältnissen zu Arbeit und Ökologie experimentiert wird. Können diese Erfahrungen auf größere Maßstäbe übertragen werden?

    Durchlöchert den Status quo! Autonome Zonen, radikale Demokratie und Ökologie

    Buchvorstellung und Diskussion mit Michael Hirsch und Kilian Jörg

  9. A quotation from Orwell

    A thing is funny when — in some way that is not actually offensive or frightening — it upsets the established order. Every joke is a tiny revolution. If you had to define humour in a single phrase, you might define it as dignity sitting on a tin-tack. Whatever destroys dignity, and brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny. And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1945-07-28), “Funny, But Not Vulgar,” Leader Magazine
