You want to the f--king truth , you are not an American , an Indian or whatever the f you say you are , you are not a Muslim or a Hindu or a Christian, you aint a native shit from anywhere. For almost all of us,
You are a civilian , a regular civilian who would be forced to flee if a politician went nuts on the international stage ... Your amazing life is on the verge of changing & so is your identity every second. You are a regular person who is the child of 2 regular people who either
fled, left or moved places to finally be in the place where you are a "native" of ...
Unless you are part of some dynasty your ancestors were slaves of kings and queens just like me ..
And thanks to their collective realization and sacrifices of all our anscestors , we get to sit on twitter and yell about our differences
Which brings me to my point: 1 of the progressive changes peace is a human right really brings
is that it is a way where human life wont be allowed to be uprooted at the hands of anybodys ego
A politician wont wake up and declare an invasion and suddenly educated & civilians like us start appearing on @UNrefugees
Seriously, Stop f--king walking around as if the identity you have created or been stuck with , whatever it is , will matter when you live in a world where it is currently allowed to blow everything apart for money and power.
Peace is a human right is not my agenda but a realization that at the end of the day if we as human beings dont protect & expand the structures that give us a peaceful life , we will all perish in our apathy ... It will not matter who we are...or our what our background lies in
Your human reality supersedes all boundaries, labels and identities created, ever.
Start having a stake in your peace and in your dignity .
You deserve to.
The truth is we are going to take absolutely nothing with us after we pass. None of this is ours , not the racism , not the brainwashing , not the arguments , not the division, none of it , no matter how much we partake in it.
My "agenda" is that the world we leave behind should make actual sense for the ones coming after us. We live in a world where our identity and location can change in an instant whether we want it or not based on the whims of govts and profiteers worldwide.
I understand that many of us have worked very hard and built up some reputation in their localities but any govt/profiteer is at liberty to destroy all of it AND actual infrastructure for money and power only because this world does not belong to the civilian, yet ...
Plus any govt can employ a civilian like us in an army to commit the destruction on their behalf with copious amounts of brainwashing of course so that the real loss of human life and habitable environments doesnt hit so hard on the news.
This world is not open to us all thanks to the phenomenon of for profit violence and all of us are losing opportunities as we lose cities and countries being ravaged by war & being put in more danger .
This kind of a world is not an option for the next generations.
A world where govts and companies work for the civilian by default, a world where every person has ownership of their time & destiny , a world which is open to travel, work & exist anywhere is what would easily eliminate a lot of unnecessary limitations we have put on ourselves.
(PS : The borders dont belong to us anyway regardless of your position, dont believe me? try changing em)
P**erty is an unecessary disease we have created ..
The whole premise of eliminating it is to make sure people are not spending time worrying about it , 24 X 7
I would never wish it on any one , The constant fear is unecessary .
Also The solution to it is not a life on private jet and yacth ,
Any situation where you worry about the necessities of life because you dont have $$ is a state of p**erty and its not gonna go away by buying luxury products or experiences.
With respect to India & Pak , here is something no one will say:
Having read the history of India/Indian subcontinent which is one of the oldest histories in the world , I doubt if India and Pakistan will even be a thing in 200 years... we behave as its the issue of our lives
but its an occurence in history that will go away.
I want everyone to see this tweet :
Countries will come and go. Borders and Conflicts will come and go. The most important question to answer is will a normal ass person live out a dignified life & have autonomy
You caught me, I want people to get income for doing nothing and I want them to have the right to live in peace and dignity without having to anyone special.
I want us to be treated right and be able to make the most of our lives without having to achieve something
without having to *be anyone special.
Why ?
Because the life of a human being matters that f-king much from cradle to grave. Its once in forever and deserves to be celebrated.
Its Gods creation to use for his glory and not ours to measure or mistreat or mis-speak about.
the industries and unelected / elected figures who dont give a shit about essential / working people
The prison doesnt belong in a democratic society where people have rights .
Nobody should be able to threaten or get to put someone away into a black box of inhumane treatmen
If you truly believe I am crazy , thats OK
I think no one ever deserves to be put in a place where they cant shower for 2 weeks . I will take the side eyes . I am happy to be a misfit & never accept the presence of prisons if that means ppl / activists can be saved of all that .
