This video is as close to a self-portrait of western civilization as it gets. This is who we are. This is where we’re at. Might as well have giant letters with a big red arrow saying “YOU ARE HERE” overtop it.

This is of course ridiculous. Epstein is a known intelligence operative for the state of Israel, not Russia. This is an established fact, and has been for some time.

Smoke and sky spiders fill the air

as missiles smash into Gaza

and powerful men drive needles

into the flesh of young girls.

Turns out Chomsky partied with Epstein,

so now I have to take up vaping

and go fill a shoebox with polaroid photos

of dead birds in car parks.

I'll pretend I'm doing it ironically

so no one mocks my prayer cards

for a dying world.

Sometimes the Buddha looks like the Buddha.

Sometimes he looks like bleached coral reefs,

or rapefinger plutocrats with pointy teeth.

Sometimes he looks like a woman in her early fifties

sobbing snot-nosed and red-faced

at the cruelty of it all

in pajama bottoms

and a Pink Floyd t-shirt.

The war drums are getting louder,

and the bank boys are getting horny again,

and the flesh of the innocent is so soft

and so easy to digest,

and the darkness hides so much,

and the light makes so little difference.

But we shine it anyway.

We shine it anyway.

The United States is the very last government on earth who has any business engaging in humanitarian interventionism. Literally dead last.

I don't know what to say today. We are ruled by abusive monsters.

The US is preparing for war with Iran.

They're going in for the kill shot on Cuba.

The latest batch of Epstein emails looks horrifying.

The US is full of protests because ICE keeps killing people.

Israel is still massacring civilians in Gaza as Australia prepares to host its president for an extended visit.

Reuters has confirmed that Biden officials actively obstructed the circulation of internal USAID reports that Gaza was being turned into a nightmarish hellscape in early 2024.

There's so much cruelty. So much abuse.

I don't criticize Iran because I do not want to feed into an imperial war propaganda campaign for a horrific agenda that I do not support. I want to focus my criticisms on the power structure under which I actually live, because that is what one does when one is not a groveling bootlicker, and because the power structure under which I live happens to be the most abusive tyrant on the world stage.

It's just incredible how quickly and aggressively the US is advancing longstanding agendas of global conquest under the Trump administration. Now they're racing to take out Cuba.

It is not okay to be a grown adult in the year 2026 and still believe US regime change interventionism in the middle east will lead to positive outcomes.

The justifications for war with Iran keep changing. First it's nukes, then it's conventional missiles, then it's protesters, and now it's back to nukes again. Kinda seems like war with Iran is itself the objective, and they're just making up excuses to get there.

We live in a civilization that was built on lies, is made of lies, and is sustained by lies. As soon as the lies stop, the whole thing comes tumbling down.
