America Does Not Exist
What world/worlds are we living in and choosing to conjure when we make the grave decision to pledge our allegiance to a regime/to a monster that gathers its energy from the murder and enslavement of living beings (human and non-human)? Why would you think twice about saying yes to upholding a country/project that murders its people for profit? We know that process looks different depending on the circumstance. Why would you stand behind an empire that has no conscience? That survives by way of chaos. That finds “opportunity” for more power, for more extraction in all disasters. Why would you believe in a project, a country, a thing called the United States, when it for years and years and years stole everything from your ancestors and from you? Is your life and the life of millions of living bodies not worth more? More than capitalism. More than greed.
We are living in late stage capitalism, this regime is dying but we must still choose wether or not we are going to die with it.
America does not exist, stop assuming otherwise.
A Pledge of Allegiance To Destroy
We are + will continue to experience the intensity of how cruel and vicious late stage capitalism is in this time and onward. I hope this is a reminder to us ALL that this country and the systems in which are failing us are literally crumpling as we speak. And the process will NOT be pleasant. ⠀⠀
So let’s ready ourselves. And be informed. And be vigilant. And use our own minds. And carry above all else TRUST and FAITH in the messages/downloads/embodied practices of our Elders and Ancestors and Godly bodies/ Spirit folk and most importantly the armies of light workers beside us who also understand the dire importance of where we are in history and the work it will take to create where we want and must be in the future.⠀⠀
We need those that are committed to grabbing things from the root so they may never be in acted +called back into being again. We need those that are committed to creating seeds to plant in fertile soil to regenerate a new world/worlds that centers life. We need those committed to holding space for death, for decay, for the rekindling process of the soil. ⠀⠀
We all have a role to play in the unfolding. Position yourself. Continue to do your beautiful, Godly, magnificent, earthly and celestial work.⠀⠀
Give thanks for breath. For water. For shelter. For kinship. For sky. For thunder. For fire. For tsunamis. For floods. For disasters. For births. For bodies. For children. For change. For TRUTH. Give thanks for our ability to imagine. The future now is dependent on young people. This is our battle. This is our rejoice. This is our birth. What we create will be sustained. That I believe in.
We are living in late stage capitalism, this regime is dying but we must still choose wether or not we are going to die with it.
