Strangers
We are strangers in a strange place; zeros and ones that distract us, keep us all awake; trackers that follow our movements wherever we go; digital assets of private companies; advertising that reveals what we are.

If violence and threats of violence define our way of life, reproducing structural inequality, anti-violence must be about uprooting every attempt to silence, every attempt to normalize.
Representative plutocracy: lying, hiding, deceiving, harassing, mismanaging, openly supporting white supremacy. Indeed, they are very rich men and do what they please; yesterday, they left the planet.
How to liberate ourselves? We liberate ourselves by preserving life on this planet; we liberate ourselves by stopping the killing; open the cages, open the dams; end the cruelty, end the war; revive, revive.
Still falling, covering the ground; already organic matter, already digested by worms; teaching us to love, keeping us alive; this is an emergency call; this is a call for planetary revolution.
Global supply chains, global value chains; chains of lifelong exploitation, chains of systemic destruction; ending violence, ending racism, ending oppression; webs of full-blown liberation; Starting a revolution.
Coal, oil, tar sands, fossil gas, fracking, deep-water drilling, open-pit mining, unconventional ways of raping the rocks; deforestation, water contamination, ecological devastation; stop killing us.
Shifting goals, shifting strategy; restoring revolutionary responsibility; energy from below, from living systems, from the sun; what had to be done, was finally clear; moving beyond normality.
