Kropotkin has to be rolling over in his grave.
100+ years later and you'd think I was just hearing the cries of our (still) impoverished.
Today I also learned that nearly 70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. How this doesn't make you sick to your stomach and not advocate for the 1% rich to genuinely and appropriately readjust their wealth to help our world (and your governments to change as well, to help its people instead of enforcing this capitalistic hellscape) - for a society of yourself!, your children and their children - to not starve, go w/o clean water, not have a roof over their head, to not slave working till they are in their 70s - congrats, you've been properly bent over by Government, the worlds richest white men, and taking it in the ass while they feed you spoonfuls of their shit, smiling.
It's hard genuinely to not lose my mind. Reading is truly the way I stay sane but find it equally important to stay informed. I try my best to balance reality with fiction otherwise I become quite nihilistic. To of read this and know nothings changed, it's become proportionately worse, is hard. How can I stay positive when I know too many people in this world who eat propaganda, and yet not realizing that it's our government's propaganda that their stomachs are empty? So many people oppose to the point of spit coming out of their mouths and knuckles clenched that a human being, like themselves, doesn't require water or shelter? Doesn't require food? Doesn't require having 3 roommates just to afford a tiny apartment?
Truly, when did the “fuck you, I got mine” rhetoric start? We are all human, and yet no sense of humanity, no sense of community. I feel insane to have these thoughts, what I believe is common sense. Is my brain broken that I just don't accept when my country gives me a bottle full of piss but say that it's actually water? Is my brain broken that I genuinely saw a homeless man completely emaciated with protruding bones and a Ferrari on that same stop light corner and found it absolutely fucking gut wrenching and enraging? I'm just to say “it is what it is”? Perpetuate the “I suffered in this world, so you should suffer too.” (E.g. I paid off my student loans (ever stop to ask why student loans came about? No? Ok) you need to pay off yours too! Freeloaders!”
I can go on forever. We are all properly fucked, all I can do is my part and encourage others to see reason and enact reason for a better world, to have a resemblance of justice for people on this planet. Anyone who should be reading these books isn't. Mostly because the very small amount of people who hold all the power say it's a terrorist act to educate yourself, and ban/burn books, cut fundings for libraries etc. so how are we innately suppose to know these books and this type of ideal is available to learn about? To open our minds and choose a different path?
I can't say. Im just the worlds peasant off to read fiction books that take me away from my “apparently” broken brain.
