Savitri Devi
“I'm for a multi-racial world in which each race keeps to itself, in harmony with the other races. Like in a garden, you have flowerbeds of roses and flowerbeds of carnations and irises and different other flowers. They don't intermarry. They stay separate, and each one has its beauty. . . . I'm against colonialism for the reason that colonialism infects the master as well as the slave. It even infects the master more.”
Savitri Devi

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 25

Wanna know about people's character?
Walk around in shabby clothes.
Wanna know who's wise, who's egotistical?
Be the dumbest despite your brainforce.
Never try to impress people.
The more you try, the more they lose interest.
Nourish your warmth and kindness instead,
Those who care will reach out themselves.
But always remember one little thing,
You can either have life or calculation.
Calculate where it's needed,
But not in every situation.
Lovers and soldiers are the only ones living,
Rest of society is just dehydrating.”
Abhijit Naskar, Giants in Jeans: 100 Sonnets of United Earth

“All of us in modern society are hemmed in by a dense network of rules and regulations. We are at the mercy of large organizations such as corporations, governments, labor unions, universities, churches, and political parties, and consequently we are powerless. As a result of the servitude, the powerlessness, and the other indignities that the System inflicts on us, there is widespread frustration, which leads to an impulse to rebel. And this is where the System plays its neatest trick: Through a brilliant sleight of hand, it turns rebellion to its own advantage.

Many people do not understand the roots of their own frustration, hence their rebellion is directionless. They know that they want to rebel, but they don’t know what they want to rebel against. Luckily, the System is able to fill their need by providing them with a list of standard and stereotyped grievances in the name of which to rebel: racism, homophobia, women’s issues, poverty, sweatshops… the whole laundry-bag of “activist” issues.”
Theodore J. Kaczynski, Technological Slavery

“The artificial world of the city offers all kinds of stimuli for which we were not originally designed.”
