“Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.

The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.

Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them.

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”

― Arundhati Roy, War Talk

Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's brains and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead.

> ... people were just in tears, not because of me or what I said or anything, just because it's such a relief not to always be subjected to this media's representation of government positions. I really feel that the media, the corporate media, has played a terrible part in all this and people are just going to have to blow holes in this dam between them and insist on listening to independent real voices, real human beings.

As a reviewer has said, 'a sad story, told very hilariously, very tenderly and very craftily', indeed.

oh hey now. has given a new speech.

I know she's controversial for many, but I'm a fan of her political writings regardless of whether they always hit the mark.

She's an incredible wordsmith.

> When human beings become surplus, that’s where these smart nukes and chemical and biological warfare .. things.. genocidal.. worry me.. I do see a time when the masters of the universe will decide that the universe is a better place without most of the population. Artificial intelligence is a way of becoming the perfect human being, which fascists have always thought about..

La révolution de la mondialisation échouera si nous refusons d’acheter ce qu’elle a à nous vendre – ses idées, sa version de l’histoire, ses guerres, ses armes, sa notion de l’inéluctable.
