WIST Quotations @[email protected] · 2026-09-16 · 16:20 UTC

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)

I hate the #UnitedStates with every piece of me. I am ashamed to have been born here. I am distraught that my ancestors were ever born and that they ever had to endure the nightmare that is #PlantationNation. I am disgusted that I fell for the ruse and thought it was safe to have children. Now they are stuck in this #whitesupremacist hellhole that is getting worse each day. Thank God they got their degrees already. But my grandkids and nieces and nephews... sitting ducks for the Kens and Karens of the evil Unwarranted Default (#mainstream, #whitegaze, #centrist #AmeriKKKan society and the unendurable, unjust #statusquo it accepts and which it commands, abuses, and threatens the oppressed people it exploits to tolerate and support) and its inhumane, irredeemable #systemicracism. The #SCOTUS is a prime example of why I am over the human species and why I believe it has EARNED the punishment of #climatechange. No decent species would allow white supremacy, much less mandate it and profit from it. Any species that would do that deserves extinction. Given what I see happening in the US each day, I pray that day comes SOON.
