Having somewhat sobered up from the sacred midsummer rites, I have reflected upon recent events, and come to the conclusion that deep sea billionaire gazpacho would make a wonderful addition to the traditional summer solstice rituals.

There’s also no reason why we couldn’t be economical about it, and combine assisting refugees and sinking billionaires in a joint operation.

I’m thinking we set sail with a few big ass fucking pirate ships flying the anarcho-queer flag(it’s pride™️ after all and we must not neglect this very fine marketing opportunity), pick up any refugees or other folks in need of a ride, then we send a few greedbellies down to Davy Jones locker, perhaps we can even select the very capitalist scumbuckets responsible for the refugee situ and let the refugees themselves cut the cord as it were.

Then we invade the southern bulwarks of fortress europe, let the canons sing like a thunderous choir, tear down the apartheid walls, dispose of any frontex/coastguard/navy curs that try to stop us, set fire to the halls of power, do some fabulous drugs and dance naked around the ashes where the parliament building used to be.

I’m just spitballing here, mind you. But I really think this could be a fine midsummer tradition fit for the modern age.

"There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river.
We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”
Desmond Tutu

Billions are being spent on "stopping" migration.
2 billion people have no access to safe drinking water. Would these resources not be better spent in assisting people to remain where they are?
With war, conflict, and environmental chaos, we need to start looking at why refugees are created.
We are constantly ask why we think people make the decision to make the dangerous trip to Europe.
To add another quote, nobody puts their children in a boat if the land is safer than the sea.
From the beginning of this current "crisis," the only plan of governments is to stop refugees. From pushbacks to bizarre off shore detention plans, drones, more boats, more coast guard, more fences and walls
We have called for safe passage and humanitarian corridors since 2015. Safe routes that don't destroy lives, kill children, and create broken people who are a burden to the state that finally accepts them.
