We outnumber the pigs. By a lot.
They don't win by using force. They don't win by shooting us, or kidnapping us, or locking us up. If anything, that kind of thing backfires. They don't win by making us afraid or angry.
They win through propaganda, by making us turn on each other, by making us feel hopeless or that any of this is inevitable. They win by leading us to believe that any of their behavior is justified.

Have a courageous Day of Ares aka Mars' Day aka Tuesday 🗡️
"One day Ares came in from the battlefield brandishing a strong spear and began to make fun of Eros' weapon. Eros said ‘This one is heavy : try it and you will see.’ Ares took the javelin, while Kypris [Aphrodite] smiled quietly."

Ich werde angerufen, Nummer aus Österreich oder Spanien, gehe ran, Bandansage, paypal, sie informieren mich das eine Zahlung von 499 EUR zurück gehalten wird. "Eins drücken um mit einem Mitarbeiter zu sprechen."
Ich weiß, dass das Spam ist, man kann nix bei dem Mitarbeiter erreichen, das sind Scammer (Leute, bei sowas immer auflegen!). Aber was kann man da tun?
Warum frage ich das? Ich bekomme diese Anrufe (oder ähnliche) seit Jahren. Aber in den letzten Monaten hat da…

Lead was added to gasoline to improve engine performance, and paint to make it whiter. We all know about asbestos and DDT.
We look back at all of this and think, "how could people have been so incompetent back then?" Some of these things caused irreparable harm in their generation, some continue to cause harm today almost 100 years later.

The bot trimmed one little piece of the joke: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe was a sequel, and obviously needed to start with a recap, so the full quote is:
❝The story so far: In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.❞
I was at a ska show tonight. The Toasters & Mustard Plug. With a fresh reminder to not let the bastards drag you down.
It made me think about the current younger generation. What is their angry rebellious music? Maybe I'm not seeing it. But they don't seem angry enough, which is concerning.
