This is a projection in Oakland. You can find the original art here.

The way-back machine found a March 2023 Reddit post by Aaron Bushnell where he said, “I’ve realized that a lot of the difference between me and my less radical friends is that they are less capable of imagining a better world than I am. I follow YouTubers like Andrewism that fill my head with concrete images of free, post-scarcity communities, and it makes me so much more prepared to reject things about the current world, because I’ve imagined how things could be and that helps me see how extremely bullshit things are right now.”

If you care to see the full quote, you can check @tinythunders on Twitter or Andrewism’s YouTube Channel, the community tab.

Tbh they should use the actual video and play it on repeat with sound. Do that. Do that for him.

Tbh, idk even know much about the Israel Gaza thing... So I can't speak to that. But the comment about the ruling class making what we see the world as today the new normal... That hit me. We are nothing but slaves for others power and greed. And I think that's a truth that people try to escape from by consumerism and drugs.

The average citizen should be forced to watch the horrors and morbid deaths of war that they pay to manifest.

If you are interested, there's a new video from Shaun making the rounds that explains the situation in depth.
