“Everyday we wake up
and collectively make
a world together; but
which one of us, left to
our own devices, would
ever decide they wanted
to make a world like this
one?”
— David Graeber, “Bullshit Jobs: A Theory”

Nationalism has taken a lot from you. But have you considered all that nationalism has given you?
War, genocide, xenophobia, dictatorship, cults of personality, and economic depression are just some of thee gifts of nationalism. Let’s explore the world’s lowest-IQ ideology 🧵
Just out of curiosity, how exactly do we expect to build less violent societies whilst simultaneously daily participating in eternal systematic violence on a gargantuan scale?
Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.
Edward Abbey
This is the tip of the iceberg. Other Trumpisms that have seeped into everyday language:
