"The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it may eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: there is no way of reforming of modifying the system as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy. If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows, the more disastrous the results of it's breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break sooner rather than later" (Unabomber Manifesto)
For five hundred years they've shown all the know is murder. SO murder is what they'll get. A backlash against five hundred years of suffering that they want us all to forget. The genocide of native peoples and the others that have been enslaved. The suffering caused by progress will be dealt back in spades. The techno-industrial fortress is crumbling under it's own weight. As the pendulum swings we witness a backlash. As the bastard child of progress attempts liberation through patricide liberation through severing the noose that capitalism has tied. For every freedom fighter imprisoned and killed for standing up for what is right. For those who've been persecuted for simply trying to survive. For all of the stolen futures and the cultures that have been erased. The tyrants will be slaughtered by the monster that they create. The monster that the racist, money-grubbing, imperial war machine has created is in the hearts and minds of the masses and it is evergrowing. If those who impose, maintain, and uphold the current social hierarchy continue down their path of dehumanization, oppression and exploitation; this monster, born of the overwhelming anger and frustration felt by those oppressed will manifest itself in the form of a violent backlash against the oppressors. This is not the dream that we strive for. It is the reality that they have created.
