OccupyRhetoric

Radically reconceiving what it means to “occupy” common places and spaces towards the creation of new realities. A response to crisis/krisis. #occupatio

Other curious combinations: When the individual and the metaphysical realms "collides" or meets up or sets sight upon, for the first time...
...in a long time...

What day is it?! Was Good Friday this last past? For real? Or no, we still got time. This just marks penitence? Phew. That makes sense.

"...and what does this have to do with Occupy or Rhetoric?" they may wonder?

"Ain't no body trying to nail nobody to a cross." [Like, materially. In person. Or in flesh and bones.] ...came a voice, in the tone and tenor of a particular time and place in American history.

At the same time...

Lest they look: “The only sense in which we are communists is that we care for the commons. The commons of nature. The commons of what is privatized by intellectual property. The commons of biogenetics. For this and only for this we should fight.” - Slavoj Zizek

Almost everything Trump said about mail-in votes was a GARGANTUAN lie. Saying 30-40% of mail-in votes are fraudulent is insane and nowhere near true. He is a preposterous and pathological liar. #Debate2020

Donald Trump still couldn’t deny white supremacy. By the way Trump told the Proud Boys to STAND BY.

The nerve of people who ask “how are you going to pay for it?” whenever we propose building advanced public education, healthcare, & climate infrastructure yet defend a system where Trump pays $750 in taxes and Amazon pays none is beyond me.

You know @USPS only has 200,000 followers. How about we increase their followers and support them? 💗🐮

@DJThistle01 Ahhh referring to riots. I’m 1000% pro riots. The injustices are too deep to compare them to material goods.

And imo it’s important for terms like socialism and communism to stop being taboo in the US. The discourse is important. The words were never allowed before.
(Thx!)

So let me get this straight: When neo-Nazis protest there are “very fine people on both sides,” but when black and brown people protest it’s time to “start shooting.”

When civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction.

The cries for peace will rain down, and when they do, they will land on deaf ears, because your violence has brought this resistance.

We have the right to fight back!

Rest in Power George Floyd

[Taylor Swift @taylorswift13]

After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump

Demonstrators shut down roads near 14th and U streets NW in DC as they protest the death of George Floyd, @nu1wcf reports.
