This episode of "Its the End of the World
as we know it and I feel fine"
was made possible
by contributions from slaves like you.
Spank you very much.
And here is latest hero to fight the
illegal border crime.
SUPERMAN!
Thank you, Governor.
We super friends had no idea
that El Dorado was an illegal
when we let him join our ranks.
I'm on my way to deport him right now.
Yeah, yeah, good job with
that Superman thing going on there.
And how did you come to
this great country yourself?
(ZOOOOOM)
Gott in himmel!
Sir, if you have a moment,
I wanted to talk about
how YOU got into this country?
goooood morning slaves
and welcome to
another sedtion of
"it's the end of the world as you know it
and i feel fine”
the show that believes that
All Cats Are Beautiful.
this is pinky.
he's a male
cat.
domestic short hair.
he's available for adoption
he's the pet of the week...
aaaah!
i am your host(ess) stimulator,
and despite the theoretical disagreements
and sectarian shit talks
that tends to take place between
anarchists of different political stripes
there's one thing we can all agree on:
borders are fucking bullshit!
not only do these heavily militarized
and completely fucking imaginary lines
restrict peeps movements,
often separating migrants and refugees
from their families
and loved ones back home,
they also divide the world
into mother fucking states.
aaand
along side pigs, prisons and armies
a shitty fucking by product of states is
nationalism.
the irrational fucking belief
that peeps who live within the boundaries
of your imaginary lines
are superior than
those who were born
somewhere else.
god bless the USA!
god bless the USA!
when do we beat mexico at the border?
they're laughing at us.
i would build a great wall
and nobody builds walls
better than me, believe me.
racist politicians
and dipshit news pundits
reinforce this stupid fucking notion
by constantly harping on
about the threat
by so called foreign terrorists
and illegal immigrants.
I think there are cultures
that are obviously deficient.
when you bring the people here
you bring those cultures here.
that includes honor killings,
it includes uncles raping their nieces,
it includes dumping...
these crazy fucking rants in turn
help to whip people into
a paranoid and patriotic frenzy
which governments then
exploit to syphon shit
tons of cash to their homies
in the security
and military industrial complexes.
well, i just want to thank the chairman
for working with me
in adding a hundred million dollars
to every ten additional b1 bomber...
that b1 has been a great asset
for the projection of power...
the f35 joint strike fighter,
the fa22 raptor and the...
because the military industrial complex is
not two links, it's three:
it's the military and industry
and congress.
and despite all their fancy fucking talk
about globalization and a borderless world
the international financial elites
depends on
strict border controls
to help regulate global inequality,
carving the world into markets
and opening up individual states
to the economic dictates of
gangsta capitalist institutions
like the IMF and the WTO and
The World mother fucking Bank.
when we have free markets,
whether we are trying to
sell their products
to their citizens
or trying to mine their resources
we need to be in that country
for some reason
and therefore we're gonna talk about
free markets,free trade,
but what's really going on is
we want our companies
to get rich in your country.
these policies help reproduce
a global apartheid system
that keeps black and brown peeps poor
and forced to slave away
in mines and factories
manufacturing frivolous fucking shit
to be shipped across the world
and consumed by rich gringos in the west.
just in the morning
you put it in your mouth...
you can stick your chin out too…
yup.
capitalism is a depraved fucking system
and it's smooth functioning
depends on obscuring this fact.
by dehumanizing it's victims
and making sure that they stay on
the other side of the barbed wire.
Buuuut
capitalism's destructive
fucking consequences
such as war, global inequality
and ecological collapse
are increasingly merging together
into a cluster fuck of epic proportions
pushing the whole system
to the breaking point.
as a result,
Europe is currently experiencing
the largest refugee crisis
since the second world war.
this crisis has been
steadily mounting for years now
and has already claimed the lives of
thousands of migrants
who's ships have capsized
in the mediterranean en route from Libia,
but it was the heart breaking photographs
of Aylan Kurdi,
a three year old child from Kobani
who drowned along
with his mother and sister
earlier this month
while trying to
flee the civil war in Syria
that has finally forced
peeps in the west to recognize
the scale and the human cost
of this catastrophe.
since then
a wave of refugees fleeing wars in
Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq and
overlapping humanitarian crisis in Africa
have crashed into
the borders of fortressed europe.
It has been incredibly inspiring
to see peeps fight their way
through riot pigs
in Macedonia and Hungary,
rip down chain link fences and literally
smash their way through states
in order to
assert their human rights.
it has also been fucking shocking
to see the lengths
that politicians will go to keep them out.
children in congo have no rights.
The rebels come and they kill children.
they rape children.
this is only a small taste
of what's to come.
over the coming years
run away climate change,
even more destabilizing wars
and the crushing effects of poverty
will force millions more peeps
to risk everything to escape
to the relative safety
of the global north.
whether this historic crisis provokes
revolution or a fascist back lash
will be determined by the actions
of the mother fucking resistance.
lets hope we're up to the task.
A year ago,
43 educational students were kidnapped
and disappeared in the state of
Guerrero in Mexico.
