You say you want a Revolution...

Well you know... We'd all want to change the world

Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous subversion. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us

This is how REVOLUTION is done

CLARITY: One might say this act takes "BALLS"... The ones with the balls are in the tanks. The guy out front has something else. What that is defines REVOLUTION.

Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, Thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought is great and swift and free. --Bertrand Russell
We might possess every technological resource... but if our language is inadequate, our vision remains formless, our thinking and feeling are still running in the old cycles, our process may be "revolutionary" but not transformative. --Adrienne Rich


Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit. --Abbie Hoffman

The Death of Socrates - Jacques-Louis David What is new, however, is always evil, being that which wants to conquer and overthrow the old boundary markers and the old pieties; and only what is old is good. The good men are in all ages those who dig the old thoughts, digging deep and getting them to bear fruit – the farmers of the spirit. But eventually all land is depleted, and the ploughshare of evil must come again and again. Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good & Evil
The Country Joe "Fish Cheer" (Woodstock "version" Aug. 1969)
"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." --Sinclair Lewis

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents more and more closely the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." --H.L. Mencken



"I can't get out of Vietnam, and I can't finish it with what I have got. And I don't know what the hell to do! ...I'm not temperamentally equipped to be commander in chief... Deciding what to do about Vietnam is like being in an airplane- and I have to choose between crashing the plane or jumping out. I do not have a parachute..."
--Lyndon Baines Johnson, 07/31/1968





"Yeee haw! Bring 'em on...!"


FEAR

 




Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual...
Fear is the mother of morality




If you look long into an abyss, the abyss will look also into you






If we train our conscience, it kisses us while it hurts us




The great epochs of our lives occur when we gain the courage to rechristen our evil as what is best in us





Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule




Cynicism is the only form in which base souls approach honesty;
and the higher man must listen closely to every coarse or subtle
cynicism, and congratulate himself when a clown without shame
speaks out precisely in front of him

Alas, the time is coming when man will no longer give birth to a star. Alas, the time of the most despicable man is coming, he that is no longer able to despise himself. Behold, I show you the last man.

'What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?' thus asks the last man, and blinks.

The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race is as ineradicable as the flea; the last man lives longest.

'We have invented happiness,'say the last men, and they blink. They have left the regions where it was hard to live, for one needs warmth. One still loves one's neighbor and rubs against him, for one needs warmth...

One still works, for work is a form of entertainment. But one is careful lest the entertainment be too harrowing. One no longer becomes poor or rich: both require too much exertion. Who still wants to rule? Who obey? Both require too much exertion.

No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.

'Formerly, all the world was mad,' say the most refined, and they blink...

One has one's little pleasure for the day and one's little pleasure for the night: but one has a regard for health.

'We have invented happiness,' say the last men, and they blink."


--Friedrich Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra
