渋谷、西武の紀伊國屋で。

突然変異的でバケモノのような藻類がヴェベツィアの海に侵入しひろがっているのと同じように、テレビ・スクリーンは「大敗した」イメージや言表の群れであふれている。さらに、社会的エコロジーの範疇に入る別種の藻類が、ドナルド・トランプのような類の人物を通して野放図に増殖してもいる。トランプはニューヨークやアトランティック・シティなどの街区をわしづかみにしながら、「模様替え」を口実に家賃をあげ、同時に、幾万もの貧困家庭を圧迫して、その大半を「ホームレス」の状態におとしいれた――これは環境エコロジーにたとえてみれば、死んだ魚に相当するものである。

Capitalism Is the Dance of Death

From Greece to the Amazon, environmentalists and volunteer firefighters are risking their lives to protect ecosystems threatened by urban expansion, agribusiness, and industrially produced climate change. Yet the causes of these disasters are only accelerating, driven by a system that rewards profit at any price. We are swept up in a rhythm we cannot control, moving faster and faster towards our doom. Capitalism is the danse macabre, the dance of death.

The attacks that took place on September 11, 2001 left much of the US population more stunned than bellicose. Yet politicians had prepared a flood of new legislation and military interventions in advance for precisely such an opportunity. They initiated a new round of colonial wars and crackdowns on domestic dissent.

More than a million people died as a consequence of the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and the resulting turmoil. The rise of the Islamic State and, later, the disorganized withdrawal of the US military from Afghanistan showed how little these operations achieved their professed objectives. Yet by creating this disaster, George W. Bush managed to ride the coattails of war to another term as president.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli government has pursued a similar course, taking advantage of the opportunity to destroy Gaza and butcher tens of thousands of Palestinians. This will not make anyone safer in the region—neither Palestinians nor Israelis nor anyone else. It is calculated to create an ongoing crisis that will keep the most chauvinistic Israeli politicians in power at everyone else's expense.

Today as in 2001, our leaders will not protect us, but they can get us killed. Stop the genocide in Palestine.

We've prepared a zine version of our zine about how to start an announcements-only thread on Signal, and how organizers in Austin established one called The Sunbird to coordinate solidarity actions with Palestine.
