Good Morning Comrades! It’s been another few days during which it, once again, has become clearer that are so called democracies are letting their masks slip and are showing their true authoritarian faces. Without wanting to sound too alarmist, this is just the beginning and without wanting to repeat myself, fascism, the rule of the perceived mighty over the masses by force is capitalism in decay. I will be getting into that a little more after some Black Lodges announcements.
This Friday will see a new variant of the Riot Logo drop over a few items. To keep it brief, the above leo print will appear as a limited edition of 25 on a t-shirt and a hoodie. Additionally, I’ve made a black jumpsuit with the white coloured version of this, and for the traditionalists among us, there will be a black t-shirt with the white logo as well. I will be sending out a pre-drop link to the paying subscribers on Thursday with their discount code and to everyone else, with their email on Friday.
Rather than starting with more, ample examples of the rampant Tory corruption presently ripping apart and looting the UK, the US government over the last few days has once again responded to several police killings with their usual overly aggressive, militarized imperialistic tactics at home. Granted, I haven’t been acutely paying attention to every bit of news coming out of Minneapolis but from the reporting, both in text and videos, it is becoming increasingly clear that this massively aggressive response to police killings is now the norm. It is, however, anything but normal, especially for a country that invades half the world in the name of freedom and democracy. Historically, this is nothing new in the US, or across the Global North West, but just speaking from personal experience, the frightening militarization of these responses is. Make no mistake, this is happening all over Europe as well but that doesn’t make it any better.
None of this comes as a surprise and the time for being shocked at this is well and truly over. The time to form physical, intellectual and actual responses is now here. Once again, I am going to point you to the basics of organizing and I urge you to read these and more importantly, put this into action. This slide into authoritarian, fascist, masks-capitalism needs to be not only stopped, but put down for good.
Something to clear the air for just a moment, it’s yer new playlist and once again, thankfully, I’ve found and heard a bunch of new jams that got my rocks off and put them together for you lovely people. Sort of flowing between a lot of new and old post punk, some angry hippie shit and some classic r`n`b it also jams out heavily here and there. Guaranteed vibes for all of you.
Again, I’ve angrily and aggressively screenshot too much of the fuckening to share it all with you here, but following is the best off with the space remaining in here.
