A nice rest now, just a Champions League 2nd leg against some French team and a League Cup Final.

Public servants, NOT Egyptian gods.
Yet indifference and complacency have allowed the most despicable of daemons to take over every system, every agency, every element designed to govern human society.

We can't know the future & so many are struggling in this world
Those who help most struggle most
Those who help least struggle least
The #middleclass produces despots by giving of themselves more to support #capitalism & #fascism, than ever to help those in #poverty
There's this state of #apathy & #complacency, built on fear, that keeps lined the pockets of those at upper echelons of #society
Like keeping those in power appeased, that they too aren't left with nothing

“[A]n increasing number of people are so used to algorithmically-generated #feeds that they no longer care to have a self-directed #experience that they are in #control of. [I]t feels like large swaths of people have forgotten to exercise their own #agency. That is what I mean by algorithmic #complacency. More and more people don’t seem to know or #care how to view the #world without a #computer #algorithm guiding what they #see.”

“State-perpetrated and internationally-enabled mass murder is currently actively terrorizing more than one part of our world”
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but complancy and a lack of curiosity killed the democracy.

We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and postive action.

I'm noticing that an awful lot of people are ONLY JUST NOW suddenly starting to realize the consequences of a second T**** term. They just weren't aware of what was at stake by allowing a #Hitler-quoting, twice impeached, #ClimateDenying #ConvictedFelon #AdjudicatedRapist who's going to abandon #Gaza & #Taiwan and destroy the #economy with massive #tariffs, to become president (again.)
#Harris' greatest enemy was #Complacency.

"Fewer Americans eligible to vote bothered to do so compared to 2020. Then over 158m voted, this time the vote was down to 143m. The voter turnout of those eligible fell to 58.2% from the high of 65.9% in 2020.
"Around 40% of Americans registered to vote did not do so. And the number of Americans who failed to register rose to 19m from 12m in 2020. So, although Trump got 51% of those who voted, he actually got only 28% support of Americans of voting age."

In 2024, Trump received 2-3m fewer votes than in 2020; Harris-Biden 13-14m fewer.
Why did so many voters stay home?
There are 140m poor & low-wage adults in the US, "43% of our country":
30% of white ppl
60% of Black ppl
68% of Latino ppl
68% of Indigenous ppl
Everywhere a living wage was on the ballot, Dems won.

Democracy Now! · Democrats Deserted Working Poor: Bishop William Barber on Healthcare, Living Wages, Voting Rights
"With the assistance of big corporate donors, Democrats out-fundraised their opponent by huge margins. After Biden’s victory four years ago, they also had a readymade template for how to defeat him — preaching ambitious social policies and activist government — but bafflingly opted to pursue a rerun of Clinton’s disastrous strategy instead."

Novara Media · Democrats Have Only Themselves to BlameKamala Harris supporters are already blaming a stupid electorate and an inclement economy for their historic defeat, writes Luke Savage. Maybe it had something to do with cosying up to war criminals and billionaires?

@Nonilex A consequence of an effective Biden administration: #Complacency
On this #mutualaidmonday before #Election2024
Please continue to #advocate for those struggling to survive
Don't let #apathy & #complacency lead to inaction
Consider as you eat today & have the shelter in this week, that there are many who don't
For each person who says it can't be their fight, the war will eventually reach their door & there will be no one left
@SabiLewSounds needs your help, as do many others
#EthnicCleansing & broadcasted ongoing #Genocide is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. It's not something you're supposed to feel good about. It's boundless human evils, in living colours, aired for the world to see. If you don't see ethnic cleansing happening & you're not legally blind - it's not your eyes that need fixing, it's a lack of #humanity which blinds.
Let your anger, discomfort, sadness & humanity move you to take some actions where you live.
Let it propel you to connect with #antiwar BIPOC folks & comrades - where you live & with online communities of activists who always need more help/volunteers.
Let it shake you out of robotic #apathy & privileged #complacency, as more brown peoples are still being massacred by #Israeli #terrorists daily.
These heavily funded/physically assisted Z terrorists are dependent on their #terrorism inducing puppeteer/super colonizers/genocide apologists/BIPOC murderers - USA.
Never forget #USAFundsGenocide. It's not the first time that they're involved in ethnic cleansing & violating #sovereignty of others. They have a long history of brutality against #BIPOC peoples - domestic & globally - that spans from its creation to present day.
USA & #Israel belong in the #Hague.

In our digitally connected world, complacency can be dangerous. As we navigate online spaces, we must stay vigilant against threats like hacking and fraud. Remember, your digital footprint is everywhere—don’t let the “it won’t happen to me” mindset mislead you. Stay informed and safe!
