DO NOT COMPLY

there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average

human being to supply any given army on any given day

and the best at murder are those who preach against it

and the best at hate are those who preach love

and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

those who preach god, need god

those who preach peace do not have peace

those who preach love do not have love

beware the preachers

beware the knowers

beware those who are always reading books

beware those who either detest poverty

or are proud of it

beware those quick to praise

for they need praise in return

beware those who are quick to censor

they are afraid of what they do not know

beware those who seek constant crowds for

they are nothing alone

beware the average man the average woman

beware their love, their love is average

seeks average

but there is genius in their hatred

there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you

to kill anybody

not wanting solitude

not understanding solitude

they will attempt to destroy anything

that differs from their own

not being able to create art

they will not understand art

they will consider their failure as creators

only as a failure of the world

not being able to love fully

they will believe your love incomplete

and then they will hate you

and their hatred will be perfect

like a shining diamond

like a knife

like a mountain

like a tiger

like hemlock

their finest art

DO NOT COMPLY.

Remember when you watch the lockdown hellscape that is Shanghai: This is what Bill Gates, Fauci, and the Public Health cartel continue to want for you. Human misery on an unprecedented level.

To the Americans who say stuff like: “compared to the REAL lockdown in Shanghai, we never had lockdowns! What were you ever complaining about?” If none of us ever complained about progressive infringements on our rights and civil liberties, we would be like Shanghai now too.

Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing

Residents in #Shanghai screaming from high rise apartments after 7 straight days of the city lockdown. The narrator worries that there will be major problems. (in Shanghainese dialect—he predicts people can’t hold out much longer—he implies tragedy). https://t.co/jsQt6IdQNh

China shows what some US & UK pundits meant when they said "we just need a hard lockdown for 3 weeks" It is incompatible with a free society, democracy, human rights and it will also eventually, painfully fail.

Eli Klein @TheEliKlein

It’s just incredible that yelling “experts” still insist we can contain Covid, even though we haven’t been able to for two years. They talk about the need for restrictions, as though this would actually work. It’s all especially bizarre, embarrassing, reckless and divisive now.

@Jaredtnelson I am in Shanghai right now, the horror stories are true. Starving people, kids taken away from parents, pets beaten to death. My apartment building was locked from the outside with chains.

Marco Castelli @macastel3

@tutuniu @Jaredtnelson No consulate can help cause logistics is not in their hands. Plus our (foreigners) situation is the same of all Chinese: we are all running out of food

Jared T Nelson @JaredTNelson

Some important things to know about the situation in Shanghai: It’s a huge city, and the circumstances are different everywhere Our situation is bad, but a lot of people are much worse Things can be absurd but also true: we can get cake easily, but not meat and fruit

Amazing.

Have you heard anything about Shanghai? #AmazingChina hashtag is being utilized as a way to get the truth out - a warning. Remember…

DO NOT COMPLY

Coming soon…

This week I recorded a discussion on censorship with Alex Miceli that will be appearing in her 451 Degrees interview series on Unsafe Space. I’ll update / post when it’s up.

I will soon be offering ticketed only discussions / performances on twitter spaces. I’d love your input on what you would like to see/hear/discuss.

I HIGHLY recommend subscribing to this substack. He was banned on twitter for this tweet. His work over the last 2 years has been incredible.

Justice must be done for the response to COVID-19. Our democracy depends on it.
