"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I decided to not be bitter and i followed a liberal influencer for like a week (they dont make political content usually) but today they posted that BULLSHIT about how trump is causing wars as a cover for the files and i had to unfollow. nobody is starting wars over that, theyre starting wars for capital and resources.

what the fuck is a ”eipstein class”? just those guys on the files? are the billionaires who refused or were not invited alright with you?

and of course the religious zealots doing the bit about how eipstein was satan incarnate while churning out money for their pastor to buy a new mansion.

the prolecattleiat is not being elevated to sapience by this situation alone. people have to read theory which is why i encourage them to do so. libs, anarchists and conservatives have the balls to talk about how mao, stalin and other leaders were also pedophiles or ray peests so communism is not worth it either so we just need a matriarchy as if a capitalist system would be fine if women were in charge.

I think it's fairly normal to have lapses of hope. It seems important to acknowledge it, feel it, admit our feelings do/not have rational bases, and not stay stuck in them.

The magician has necessary tools of the tarot and knows how/when to utilize them and how/when to refrain. The sword speaks to thoughts/words (other meanings, this is basic). The wand speaks to passion. The cups to emotions. Pentacles to tangible material, the slowest form to manifest (in the beginning was the Word [or concept]).

Feelings aren't bad, even if irrational. They are a natural part of being human, and we either deal with our feelings or they deal with us. We have to confront them to deal with them, acknowledge them to confront them, and feel them to acknowledge them.

The minor arcana begins with ace, the seed, the vague, nebulous concept. Doesn't mean jack if undeveloped, and that's fine. Each number also has a meaning, too much to get into for this purpose. Moving to the court cards, the pages represent a child like understanding, perhaps a particularly precocious child, perhaps one that struggles. Knights carry a message/mission, to self or others. Queen internalizes the message. King has mastered the message and can apply to internals and externals. The Empress embodies the Queen of every suit, the feminine principle, attraction, reception, fertility. The emperor embodies the king of every suit, masculine principle, giver, the go getter, protector. We all have masculine and feminine qualities. Here I'm talking like the male/female ends of connectors (yes it's archaic, there is no strictly masculine or feminine in perfection, rather more like a positive and negative charge). The divine union is the marriage of the two principles. That's why the creator is also the destroyer. G-d gives and takes away. The big bang, entropy, collapse, begin again. We begin a new journey as the fool (and incidentally this is why Parcival the fool, pure of heart, succeeded in his quest), with all the pitfalls, booby traps, and wheels of fortune (karma, sowing and reaping, wild twists of fate).

This is why the Watchers weren't destroyed, only bound until judgement, ha-Satan can freely come and go from Earth to Heaven (manifestation to idea and vice-versa), why "As above, so below," and why what we picture in our heads isn't necessarily exactly the same in materiality. It's also the meaning of the keys to the Kingdom (bound in heaven, bound on Earth, loosed in heaven, loosed on Earth), and why, when we confront our demons, they not only work for us, rather than against us, but also become our holy guardian angels. There are similar stories the world over. Eve/Lilith, Satan Michael, Lucifer/Raphael (maybe, it's late, I'm fading), etc, Father tetragrammaton, mother Sophia, child Yeshuah. It's also why the tetragrammaton makes more sense as "I am becoming what I am becoming," rather than "I am what I am." Kali/Shiva, Oshun/Ogün, Odin/Freya. And don't hurt me, Muslim siblings, but why, if my vague understanding approximates the idea, jinn can be "good/bad." We're not meant to take everything so literally.
