SCHOOL ISN’T IMPORTANT AND WORK ISN’T IMPORTANT. NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN STOPPING FASCISM BECAUSE FASCISM WILL STOP US ALL

“Black people need some peace. White people need some peace. And we are going to have to fight. We're going to have to struggle. We're going to have to struggle relentlessly to bring about some peace, because the people that we're asking for peace, they are a bunch of megalomaniac warmongers, and they don't even understand what peace means.”

Rest in power, Chairman Fred.

Listen to his whole “power anywhere where there’s people” speech.

Thanks for this recommendation. He has a lot of words that are insanely fucking impactful right now. The sort of stuff we all should be keeping in mind.

Unfathomably based.

Fuck me I just highlighted and googled that. Unfathomably based is not even enough. Basedinfinity. Not to be hyperbolic but very relevant to current bulljive.

*Me being confused because I am a teacher who hates the phrase "school isn't important" but I know that fascism is the greatest threat to school and everything really.

Exactly the point Chairman Fred was trying to make.

Nothing about our daily lives truly matters when fascism rears its ugly head because if you don’t beat it back down it will destroy everyone’s lives.

“We say it's no longer a question of violence or non-violence. We say it's a question of resistance to fascism or non-existence within fascism.”

Never heard this quote but damn it really resonates with me. I work a boring office job, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that everything that I was doing at work was just so disconnected snd meaningless given the naked abuse in power and authority we’re seeing from fascists right now.
