A time to stand

[cj]

"There are decades where nothing happens but then weeks where decades happen."V Lenin.

This last month feels like one of those weeks where decades happened. We saw the end of Pax Americana. We saw the US abandon Ukraine with an ambush in the oval office. Make no mistake champagne was uncorked in Beijing and Moscow that night. From London to Kiev a new reality is slowly setting in NATO is dead. Democracy is on the run as the US looks inward towards a most uncertain future.

The time for silence is over. This is a time for action. one Of my favorite political quotes. Told by a lady who was about to be beheaded at 21 years old by the nazis. Because she stood up and was heard. Fascists cant stand the truth that is there crypotonite.

The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves—or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn.
