PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE:



PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE:


Planned Obsolescence:

“Prior to 1924, the average lifespan of a light bulb was around 2,500 hours. In December 1924,

a global organization known as the Phoebus Cartel created a secret plan to increase sales by bringing the average bulb’s lifespan down to just 1,000 hours.

This began one of the first known examples of planned obsolescence.“

It’s not just the products designed to break, but our medicines created to no longer to cure but to manage what ails us.

It’s our politics designed to keep our economy and morality barely treading water. It’s our need for perpetual war.

Reminds me of the best scene in the Matrix where AI tells Morpheus that the algorithm was initially a utopia; but we rebelled!

Which brings up the existential reasoning of needing to labor on through life to forget that soon enough we die; thereby not questioning our short existence and delving deeper into its meaning.

Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS We deal with systemic racism on all fronts. We mentor; we start programs to protect our kids; we fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces who funnel in the drugs and the guns with impunity then lock up our kids for having (or using) them. And where do kids get guns for drive-bys? (Rhetorical) And do an inordinate amount of crimes occur in Black spaces in Baltimore and Detroit and L.A. as opposed to NY because Black folk in our city have more character and higher morals? (Also rhetorical) It’s because cops are not allowed to pump these things in here! We do have CHILD rape rings here which rival Florida, Texas and possibly even California (California is a dense, big state). We need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces! And regarding the white people and the Black folk who worship them who aid systemic racism through complicity, ignorance and arrog...

REPENTING OF RACISM

REPENTING OF RACISM Racism means that firing ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling Black spaces who hashtag, frame, brutalize, flood our streets with drugs and guns and whisk our kids away in CHILD rape rings to them and to others is considered ‘radical’ and ‘racist’, needing more ‘moderate’ measures like bodycams, civilian oversight and liability insurance instead, because the underlying racist premise that we’re programmed to think but NEVER (or rarely) say is that we are incapable of policing ourselves and that white cops from elsewheres are the last bastion of defense against utter chaos in our streets. But let just one cop do to them a fraction of what’s been done to us and the whole world 🌍 upends where they’ll fire, suspend or ban an entire precinct - including its chief - for the ill action of just one or two. To maintain this delusion, they have back to back cop and lawyer shows running 24/7 on tv along with a media and legal system that obfusca...

WE CANNOT COMPETE WITH THEIR NARRATIVES

 We cannot compete with their national narratives. If they say that Black men are being wooed by 45 in record numbers and we say ‘not true’, we’re in denial. If we point out his overwhelming white supporters, we’re blame shifting. And once the story’s out there, the sheep will immediately bleat a response without giving the premise much thought. It’s because he chose a Black woman VP and we Black men hate that. It’s because 45’s brand of bucking the system appeals to us. It’s because we’re disenchanted with Obama. In short, they can say whatever they want and we’ll keep falling for the same shtick again and again. It’s how Chappelle can go on a crack binge in Africa because he balked at their not paying him according to his contract. How Marissa Alexander, a victim of spousal abuse which put her in the hospital in the past is deemed ‘no Angel’. Or how a kid, just trying to get home is murdered by a stalker, while the media blames his watching MMA on TV and the hoodie that he wore. ...
