“Societies are becoming markets first and communities second. We become consumers above all, and only then are we given the permission to be human.
- Paul Kingsnorth (via cultureofresistance)

We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we’ve lived through, or feel we’ve had enough time.

Old Soul Song (Bright Eyes)
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Lose Yourself (Eminem)
“There are societies that do not pretend to be ‘civilized’—military dictatorships and totalitarian states—and execute their victims without ceremony. Then there are nations like the United States, whose claim to be civilized rests on the fact that its punishments are legitimized by a complex set of judicial procedures. This is called ‘due process,’ despite the fact that each step in this process is tainted by racial prejudice, class bias or political discrimination.
