williesyndrome:

“Israel’s WorldWide Role in Repression” Final Day in Brasil Vlog… Man, Israel supports the hell out of governments, millitias, police forces, and private security. Even if you don’t have support for the Palestinian people, you should be trying to fuck Israel up just on GP. They are some of the most right-wing, population control, minority-dominates-the-majority, motherfuckers in the world. And they go around the world teaching how to smash dissent, how to surveill and profile, how to pursue “urban warfare” and “Anti-terrorism.” If the police in your neck of the woods are cracking heads, do some research and see there is a good chance that Israel or Israeli companies have been consulting or training them to refine their techniques. Let’s Fight The Police/ Security State! Let’s Get Free!

Happy Birthday, Chinua Achebe, born 16 November 1930

Chinua Achebe: 12 Quotes On Stories

If you don’t like someone’s story, write your own.

To me, being an intellectual doesn’t mean knowing about intellectual issues; it means taking pleasure in them.

Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself.

My weapon is literature.

People create stories create people; or rather stories create people create stories.

Storytellers are a threat. They threaten all champions of control.

It is the storyteller who makes us what we are, who creates history. The storyteller creates the memory that the survivors must have - otherwise their surviving would have no meaning.

The emperor would prefer the poet to keep away from politics, the emperor’s domain, so that he can manage things the way he likes.

We cannot trample upon the humanity of others without devaluing our own.

If you only hear one side of the story, you have no understanding at all.

The only thing we have learnt from experience is that we learn nothing from experience.

Stories serve the purpose of consolidating whatever gains people or their leaders have made or imagine they have made in their existing journey thorough the world.

Chinua Achebe is a Nigerian novelist, poet, professor, and critic. He is best known for his first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart, which has sold more than 8 million copies around the world, and been translated into 50 languages. Achebe is the most translated African writer of all time.
Nelson Mandela referred to Achebe as a writer ‘in whose company the prison walls fell down’.
Achebe is the recipient of over 30 honorary degrees. He has been awarded the Man Booker International Prize, the Commonwealth Poetry Prize, an Honorary Fellowship of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Nigerian National Order of Merit.
