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.
