Massacre Quotes

“They want us to be afraid.
They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes.
They want us to barricade our doors
and hide our children.
Their aim is to make us fear life itself!
They want us to hate.
They want us to hate 'the other'.
They want us to practice aggression
and perfect antagonism.
Their aim is to divide us all!
They want us to be inhuman.
They want us to throw out our kindness.
They want us to bury our love
and burn our hope.
Their aim is to take all our light!
They think their bricked walls
will separate us.
They think their damned bombs
will defeat us.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that my soul and your soul are old friends.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that when they cut you I bleed.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that we will never be afraid,
we will never hate
and we will never be silent
for life is ours!”
― Kamand Kojouri

“As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap the joy of love.”
― Pythagoras

“Religion makes people kill each other. Science supplies them with weapons.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana, N for Nigger: Aphorisms for Grown Children and Childish Grown-ups

“It was as easy as breathing to go and have tea near the place where Jane Austen had so wittily scribbled and so painfully died. One of the things that causes some critics to marvel at Miss Austen is the laconic way in which, as a daughter of the epoch that saw the Napoleonic Wars, she contrives like a Greek dramatist to keep it off the stage while she concentrates on the human factor. I think this comes close to affectation on the part of some of her admirers. Captain Frederick Wentworth in Persuasion, for example, is partly of interest to the female sex because of the 'prize' loot he has extracted from his encounters with Bonaparte's navy. Still, as one born after Hiroshima I can testify that a small Hampshire township, however large the number of names of the fallen on its village-green war memorial, is more than a world away from any unpleasantness on the European mainland or the high or narrow seas that lie between. (I used to love the detail that Hampshire's 'New Forest' is so called because it was only planted for the hunt in the late eleventh century.) I remember watching with my father and brother through the fence of Stanstead House, the Sussex mansion of the Earl of Bessborough, one evening in the early 1960s, and seeing an immense golden meadow carpeted entirely by grazing rabbits. I'll never keep that quiet, or be that still, again.

This was around the time of countrywide protest against the introduction of a horrible laboratory-confected disease, named 'myxomatosis,' into the warrens of old England to keep down the number of nibbling rodents. Richard Adams's lapine masterpiece Watership Down is the remarkable work that it is, not merely because it evokes the world of hedgerows and chalk-downs and streams and spinneys better than anything since The Wind in the Willows, but because it is only really possible to imagine gassing and massacre and organized cruelty on this ancient and green and gently rounded landscape if it is organized and carried out against herbivores.”

“Le fondamentalisme se manifeste sous différentes formes et couleurs. Les croyances de 'la vérité absolue' et de 'la seule voie' du salut, en font partie.”
― Mouloud Benzadi

“My Sunday school teachers had turned Bible narrative into children's fables. They talked about Noah and the ark because the story had animals in it. They failed to mention that this was when God massacred all of humanity.”
― Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

“Thanks for treating me like, you know, a person through all this shit. I know that isn't always easy. (Stark)
You do have a habit of pissing on other people's welcome mats. But, when a gentleman gives you a booty call to a massacre, it's easy to forgive. Ciao. (Candy)”
― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim

“...What is the key word today? Disposable. The more you can throw it away the more it’s beautiful. The car, the furniture, the wife, the children—everything has to be disposable. Because you see the main thing today is—shopping. Years ago a person, he was unhappy, didn’t know what to do with himself—he’d go to church, start a revolution—something. Today you’re unhappy? Can’t figure it out? What is the salvation? Go shopping....
...If they would close the stores for six months in this country there would be from coast to coast a regular massacre.”
― Arthur Miller

“Humility is a virtue of the heavenly, not arrogance. Are we the most superior beast on earth? No, not in strength and not in intelligence. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Both rats and monkeys have been shown to learn from error, yet we have not. More people have died in the name of religion than any other cause on earth. Is massacring God’s creations really serving God – or the devil? And what father would want to see his children constantly divided and fighting? What God would allow a single human life to be sacrificed for monetary gain? Again, the Creator or the devil?”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“The ones who did it can always rationalize their actions and even forget what they did. They can turn away from things they don't want to see. But the surviving victims can never forget. They can’t turn away. Their memories are passed on from parent to child. That’s what the world is, after all: an endless battle of contrasting memories.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, historians have become both more accurate and more honest—fractionally more brave, one might say—about that 'other' cleansing of the regions and peoples that were ground to atoms between the upper and nether millstones of Hitlerism and Stalinism. One of the most objective chroniclers is Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University. In his view, it is still 'Operation Reinhardt,' or the planned destruction of Polish Jewry, that is to be considered as the centerpiece of what we commonly call the Holocaust, in which of the estimated 5.7 million Jewish dead, 'roughly three million were prewar Polish citizens.' We should not at all allow ourselves to forget the millions of non-Jewish citizens of Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, and other Slav territories who were also massacred. But for me the salient fact remains that anti-Semitism was the regnant, essential, organizing principle of all the other National Socialist race theories. It is thus not to be thought of as just one prejudice among many.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

“كَبَّلوهُم قَتَلوهُم مَثَّلوا بِذَواتِ الخِدرِ طاحوا بِاليَتامى
ذَبَحوا الأَشياخَ وَالزَمنى وَلَم يَرحَموا طِفلاً وَلَم يُبقوا غُلاما
أَحرَقوا الدورَ اِستَحَلّوا كُلَّ ما حَرَّمَت لاهايُ في العَهدِ اِحتِراما”
― حافظ إبراهيم

“White men are the apex predator of earth.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“You know how the dinosaurs went extinct - they committed suicide when they saw the white man coming. They said to themselves, clearly white men are the apex predator of earth, so there's no point of us being!

Asteroids wiped out the dinosaurs, caucasteroids wiped out civilizations. Colonialism was a mass extinction event, yet no textbook has the spine to bear the burden.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“If we had learned anything over the last decade, it was that there was no other way to defeat slavery, except with a willingness to die for it. We had learned what the Negroes long knew. And thus we merely did what the Negroes themselves had done over and over in the past—in Haiti, in the mountains of Jamaica, and in the swamps of Virginia—but could not do out there on the plains of Kansas. We did what we wanted the Negroes to do in Kansas. By slaying those five pro-slavers on the Pottawatomie that night, we placed hundreds, thousands, of other white men in the same position that we along amongst the whites had held for years: for now every white man in Kansas, anti-slaver and pro-slaver alike, had to be ready to die for his cause.”
― Russell Banks, Cloudsplitter

“Not all white people are animal, but 99% of historic predators, terrorists, traffickers, thieves, morons and imbeciles were white.”

“Poultry Farm (Sonnet)

First law of poultry farming:
keep your livestock busy
with trivial problems,
so they stay ever oblivious
to systemic criminal activities.

That's why the West makes
such a song and dance about Hitler,
so that the actual world criminals
never lose their pedestal of heroic honor.

World War 2 is the ultimate
geopolitical smoke screen,
fed to the livestock religiously,
with Hitler as the moral decoy,

so that Planet Earth never grows
the brain or the backbone to question
the extinction level crimes of the White Allies.

Fascism is not an anomaly,
it's the Operating System of Mock Democracy.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“There's no such thing as slave traders, get your language straight, you idiots - they were human traffickers, not traders, you trade in commodity, not people.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“There's no such thing as slave traders, get your language straight, you idiots - they were human traffickers, not traders, you trade in commodity, not people. To trade in human lives like livestock is the savagest form of cannibalism.”

“Leaves of Ash (Divine Violence, Sonnet)

You know why the West makes such
a song and dance about nonviolence,
because when your entire empire
is built on systemic extermination
of living cultures and communities,

it really helps if you simultaneously propagate
a favorable ideal of nonresistance to evil,
this way you can criminalize the very thought
of revolution, not only legally, but also morally.

Nonviolence has never been about human rights,
nonviolence is western propaganda,
commodified to maintain moral superiority,
if the tortured communities ever dare to resist.

Revolution is a fundamental pillar of justice,
don't succumb to hypocritical hogwash -
colonizers should be seen, and not heard,
their philosophy, their theology, all come last.

I'm not talking about exceptional ideas,
good ideas should be studied as individual ideas,
not as western ideas, and western philosophies
must never be prioritized as default literature.”

“If you steal from the thieves,
can they call the cops!
If you heist from the blackmarket,
is it really a crime!

If you rob the British Museum,
isn't it a humanitarian initiative!
If you blast Mount Rushmore to ashes,
isn't it really public service!”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

“The human race comes from Africa, but inhumanity originated in Europe.”

“Holocaust Theatre (Naskaristana 2799)

Most social issues are rooted in religion,
most religious issues are rooted in politics,
most political issues are vestiges of colonialism.

There's a holocaust remembrance day,
or let me fix your uneducated english:
there's a universally recognized
jewish holocaust remembrance day,
and that's great, but I have just one question -

where is the native american holocaust remembrance,
where is the congo and kenyan holocaust remembrance,
where is the palestinian holocaust remembrance,
where is the punjab and bengal holocaust remembrance -

all of which were far bloodier in scale than nazi follies,
why is your history, memory, ethics, all so retarded!”
