sometime in 2022---when i told him that in a 1970 interview his mom had called him a spoiled child, he said "well mothers are always right, you know!"
thanks i guess but i'm not paying ₱10,000 to get into a notoriously clerico-fascist university which made the dictator franco, responsible for the murder of 200–400,000 ppl & the near-total destruction of the spanish democratic-republican cause, an honourary rector and which is
when has UP ever been "for the people" anyways? it's always been a stronghold of the petty bourgeoisie in service to the neocolonial State. the ever-increasing number of upper-petty-bourgeois & comprador-landlord students is only a symptom of the deepening crisis of neoliberal
ALL-TIME FILIPINO PETTY-BOURGEOIS CLASSICS:
1. the polsci major who doesn't know squat abt fucking national democracy
2. the english-always asshat whose go-to in any argument is callcenter-imported corpobabble+therapyspeak
3. the armchair analyst whose profile is all gay porn
more than anything NEVER shut up about your antiïmperialism. remind people of jennifer laude, remind people of what US imperialism did to her & what it's doing *right now* to millions of other women and queer ppl in the philippines--rape, trafficking, prostitution, & so much more
Ka Dante, founder of the NPA: "What's a person's dream? It's simple really. If you're hungry, you have food to eat. If you need clothes--something to wear. If you've no roof--a house to live in. Education for children, medicine for the sick. You want a bright future and peace of
might lose power soon---keep everyone in your prayers, friends, and god bless always...what we are seeing and experiencing now is the expected consequence of decades of First World crimes against the earth and against us in the Third World who now bear the brunt of the punishment
also: i took the USTET (and the DCAT, but not the ACET cos i was too lazy) because i didn't think i'd pass the UPCAT! but i got into my preferred programme @ UPD namán so yeb all's well that ends well lel
at this moment perpetrating the most brazen acts of repression against academic freedom and the student body at large. also lol that 90 in maths in between eng's 98 and sci's 99 is rlly funny--i remember almost being kicked out of kisáy for getting a maths grade of 84 lelelel
autistic people are an oppressed and marginalised group and don't let anyone tell you otherwise--they'd lynch you or lock you away in an asylum if they could!
I GOT IN!!!!!! HEBBBB I DIDNT THINK I WOULD COS WHEN I TOOK THE UPCAT I DIDNT REVIEW *AT ALL* LIKE NO REVIEW CENTRE NO REVIEWER NO NOTHING BUT HEB!!!!! GOD IS SO GOOD ALL THE FUCKING TIME
the predominance of English over Tagálog in the Philippines is probably the worst, most contemptible injustice in the neocolonial field of culture and thought. beyond more socioëconomic factors like poverty, it is the single biggest contributor to our mass mediocrity and idiotism
½ our roof collapsed yesterday from a storm. my grandma said it was the deluge finally come to get us, but i'm not so fatalistic---still, we need ₱20,000 ($400) to get it repaired and we've barely anything rn. i know it's a lot to ask but anything helps!
José Rizal, like a ¼ or ⅕ of the current Filipino population, was of Chinese descent, being a 22nd-generation descendant of the 柯 Ke clan through 柯仪南 Ke Yinan (baptised Domingo Lam-co in 1697), who immigrated to the Philippines sometime during the reign of Kangxi
the First World is just ngmi it's this vast parasitic mass of 1,000,000,000+ nonpeople who all one way or another think this deep down. the secret boon of our backwardness here in the Third, the God-blessed kernel in imperialisedness's shell, is that for us Humanity is not only
education & of the semifeudal system generally, driving the lower strata of the middle classes into discontent & frustration as the upper strata take more & more of what few public resources there are for themselves (thereby also destroying the illusion of gov't "for the people")
friends: i love all of u!!! i say this with the profoundest sincerity wah u all warm my heart and make profounder and profounder my soul a thousand times over...in the final analysis everyone and everything is just a conduit for god's love for everything and everyone, but it is
ok but the literal idea of a filipino nation was also "forced into [sic] us via colonization" & that doesn't make it any less coherent or revolutionarily viable/usable. catholicism is the same--there's a reason why the IFI, founded by a guerrilla-priest and a unionist-to-be in
@onimperialism
the thing is Catholicism was forced into us via colonization. Indigenous people, our Muslim brothers and sisters are a big part of the masses too, yet they have to conform to a Christian-centric country such as ours. Some are even displaced and killed
"talent" and "intelligence" are for the most part pettybourgeois fictions made up to gatekeep culturo-intellectual production from the people. the Artist or Intellectual who refuses to grasp this reality (and move towards its abolishment) dooms themself to mediocrity for ever
I sincerely believe that every single person has the capacity to create art: to paint, to write poetry, to make music & that the only thing setting me apart from someone who can't is bcuz of material conditions. There's nothing special abt my "talent" & I should always be humble.
@rezierre
whatever lel the UST's support for fascism before, during, & after the jap fascist occupation is frustratingly underdiscussed--of the "major" historians i've only seen constantino mention it, & in the mainstream there's no mention of it at all--so yep at least the word's out heb
alw v funny seeing our petty tyrants of the colonial middle class air such 3rd-world problems as "my maid (whom i pay $100/mo) got herself a NECKLACE w/o the customary firstborn sacrifice!!" in English as if ameriKKKans would find that relatable & not like, mediaeval freak shit
blackpill time wtf
yesterday, i delivered the maid's monthly salary in cash. Today she asked permission to "hang out in the city with her friends" and I'm like "sure". She just returned, and apparently she just blew half her salary to buy a necklace made of literal gold
guess who secured an interview w/ LUKE FUCKING ESPIRITU DURING A GIG LELLL HEB I LOV MOWS!!! also yeb i just. yapped a lot abt RA-RJ stuff and the coming US-china war & he was rllyrlly insightful & patient & helpful in turn grebb i am positively STOKED!! also soz mr motortaxi-man
the last time we entrusted national defence to the US, all this was destroyed by indiscriminate allied bombing and the depredations of the japanese fascists—so complete was the destruction that all copies of the noli's first tagálog translation were thought lost, necessitating a
good morning, friends--my first class to-day (face-to face, woohoo) is at 8:30 a.m. apparently our prof there thought it would be a good idea to schedule a quiz for our first-ever meeting, so now i need to memorise all 82 provinces of the Philippines and their locations. not fun!
alice guo speaks tagálog like a native lol she's literally just a bog standard corrupt politician.......too many of us are bending over backwards to support US war-mongering against china when in the event of a war *we'll* be the first on the chopping block
saw a selfie of my ex--we used to send each other selfies in lieu of irl face-seeing (hker & manileño moment) but of course now we don't--and got sad but also not really but also yeb. here's a letter i typed up around 3 am weeks ago & forgot to send to him
another Fruitful Day at yͤ librarie
(i don't actually expect him to reply but yeb. whatever i was so anxious before giving him this note---i could literally feel my heart beating in my chest and i felt like pissing myself!!! when i did actually go thru with it he laughed and i
i am so anxious about climate imperialism and environmental collapse. how many of us will make it? how many won't? and will those in the first world who are responsible and who consume five to ten times more than us here in the colonies and semicolonies at all care?
i plan to interview the CPP again! hopefully fr this time!!! if it works out i hope to interview others from the above- and underground...questions will be general, covering everything from the Marcos-Duterte rivalry (vis-à-vis US-China) to what seems to be Bangladesh's own EDSA
friends i am Once Again asking the more privileged among us for a dollar or two or three for food and general life things---i've been looking for writing work since the other day but have so far gotten nothing so yeb..my circumstances...they are difficult!
filipino women & filipino queers & filipinos everywhere of all genders & orientations & identities cannot & will never be free so long as the philippines remains a glorified appendage to US empire ready to be cut off & sacrificed at the slightest sign of trouble
you know what's actually fascist & reactionary? bourgeois/capitalist culture in its various shades of patriarchy, woman-hate, class-egoism & so on appropriating the *aesthetics* of catholicism, which really are its most backwards part. the marcoses did it too with our folk myths
all true things but at the same time whatever who cares i'm a 17-yo autist fatfuck on twitter it really isn't that serious. everything in due time friend everything in god's most perfect of times
The College of Social Sciences and Philosophy welcomes the new batch of students of Anthropology, History, Linguistics, Political Science, and Sociology.

@w0kesolanas
so long as there is violator and violated (i.e., so long as there are classes and class society) there will always be violence in every single act of being---might as well direct that violence to the abolishment of the necessity for violence
My main criticism of the new Philippine Senate building isn't even its cost and size (it can house 60+ senators despite the PH Senate only having 24 members and people blocking moves to expand it).
I hate it because it looks like a modernist abomination that screams more like a
@ramilvjavier
he didn't but the UST (then being a stronghold of francoist and generally fascist, prospanish sentiment--among its most prominent patrons and administrators were the sorianos, ayalas, elizaldes, and other families of the colonial élite who would later go on to support japanese
friends, i'm still in disbelief—to say that i'm grateful, heartwarmed & so on would be a criminal understatement. you've jus helped us pay off ⅕! thank you. so much! writing comms are still open (baojingming1968[at]gmail[dot]com) & so will the fundraiser
possible but world-historically inevitable. for all the hardships of my life,—for all the fascist sadisms of the colonial-feudal State, for all the terrible prognoses & actualities of climate Apocalypse, for all the negations of Being,—it is ultimately & thankfully one of meaning
piracy isn't revolutionary--it's just a necessary part of cultural production & exchange in the context of neocolonial underdev't, dependency, & super-exploitation. cultural imperialism is still imperialism, and your "nonmaterial" consumption of disney slop still benefits disney
1. Yes, boycott disney. that means also not enjoying everything they've done on any form or shape, regardless if procured legally or not.
2. Yes, do not justify nor promote piracy. Just do it.
ur devices SHOULD last for life and it's a crime in this day and age amid the greatest, most revolting prosperity in the entire history of Sentience that they don't
right up there with Hamas. it's actually kind of crazy just how moral Hamas is even by bourgeois standards (or at least the standards the bourgeois purport to or superficially uphold, e.g., respect for "human life"--in practice, who is human and who isn't?--and so on)
sorry to put this on ur feed again but heb i just wanna say that like i love the fact that i look like this yebb i wouldn't exchange my face nor my appearance as a whole for anyone else's.. screw that insecurity bullshit i am in point of fact Very Secure and cool 😎😎😎

i think everyone should watch this speech and the documentary where it's from at least once: (docu) (speech)
heading to the library and *maybe* a date (my first ever!) in this shirt with this tired ass look for purposes at least earnest and loving and soulprofound
positively the worst thing i have ever wrote or done i am so so sorry but once i got the idea it kept niggling away at the back of my mind until i couldn't take it anymore and yeb. sorry
after two days of autism i guess i'm just doing a semi-mini-dive into/analysis of neurodivergence/neurodisability in Chinese premodernity now. anyways here's "let them eat cake" 1,400-something years early:
i'm not too fond of "decolonial"--it sounds too feeble, too unassertive, as if colonialism & colonisedness are just things to be rolled back & reversed all cordial-like & not things to be (violently) struggled against and overthrown. "anticolonial" is much more preferable
while we're at it: reposting a foto of Me (concrete, actual, material Me) infodumping to People (concrete, actual, material People) abt joma & my work with him after the very first mass action i attended. i also read two tagálog translations i did of his poetry--this was last yr
people can be very unnecessarily cruel but they can also be very, heartwarmingly soul-intensely kind and yeb for that i am just sosososo thankful heb loveu friends
Chiang won! i'm sorry but he did! my only sympathy for China now exists insofar as its push for multipolar imperialism allows revolutions everywhere breathing room from US hegemonism. in the Philippines for example what would've been just another intra-ruling-class spat has taken
🎥 Here Xi Jinping calls class struggle a “leftist mistake.”
Mao learned: “Class struggle is the key link, everything else hinges on it.” Marx learned: “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
Thus, Xi Jinping openly rejects Marxism.
@maglawod
also: UP isn't making anyone pay 10k to get in. that alone makes it if not a (quantitatively) more progressive institution, then certainly one that is more conducive to revolutionary stirrings from the more revolutionary-tending lower strata of the petty bourgeoisie than UST
no, we have never made and will never make English "our own"--it will always be foreign and alien to this country and its people. that doesn't mean it's unusable, cos it very much is, in the same way cultural workers use materials made in China to make antiïmperialist protest art
cautiously optimistic. we did the same on an even grander, more world-historic scale 38 yrs ago w/ Marcos, but it was the "enlightened" comprador-landlord alliance (its instruments being Church & Army, its base the middle class) that took power after, not the masses & their Party
library guy update número three: he walked me to the bus stop . and there was a queue but bcos i was too busy yapping and stimming i'd forget to move whenever it advanced and he'd put his hand (very chastely and decently) on my waist and (very gently) urge me forward---he ended
this phallic fixation many professedly gay/"queer" men have is to me obviously indicative of narrow, unimaginative minds and even narrower, more unimaginative libidos. if the highest expression of your sexuality is a penis then maybe you're actually more pedestrian than you think
in the first place "health"/able-bodiedness under capitalism can only be a criterion for exploitation. one is healthy insofar as one is actively exploitable and one is ill inasmuch as one is passively exploitable
liked this comrade's tweet, checked their profile & was very pleasantly surprised to see this slightly tweaked (th only real changes i made were to the typeface, + add'l text) version of the class pyramid from PSR/LRP i did over two yrs ago! i'd joined my 1st mass org (Kabatáan)
account was locked for 12 hours yesterday--i'll be resharing my scan of constantino's compilation on church-state relations (and other scans i did last year) later!

one of the things i want to do most this year is help found or build a militantly class-conscious, antiïmperialist, antifeudal, (fundamentally) antipsychiatric mass org for and of disabled people, or at least (and more realistically) the beginnings thereof
everything fascist is bourgeois but not everything bourgeois is fascist. when capitalism-imperialism is in rapid decline and when the once-spectre of communism is at its most material/concrete, institutional social democracy does indeed become an instrument of state fascism--this
If social democracy is simply fascism in disguise, because it also props up capitalism, then any other political current besides communism are all fascist (including transitional programs like national democracy). An unfortunate, conceptually destitute formulation.
incense sticks at the foot of a cross in a street shrine somewhere in binondo (binundók, 岷倫洛), the world's oldest chinatown. the first filipino saint, lorenzo of manila 李樂倫, was chinese-filipino--he died in 1637 as one of the martyrs of japan
it's raining again so we've had to put up some biggish basins to catch the rainwater. it's not as bad as yesterday though, when the house was literally flooded---my profoundest thanks are to the lord and to everyone who's donated so far

while our ostensibly secular (read: neocolonial, quasifeudal) gov't STILL hasn't passed the SOGIE bill after over 20 years. wear what you wanna wear but not everything by virtue of seeming/instinctual subversiveness is actually profound or even actually subversive--sometimes it's
autist/generally neurodivergent writer-friends how do you write essays and just. prose in general without descending into long, 500 to 1,000-word tangents about something you REALLY want to talk about but is only very slightly related to the actual subject at hand. help!
fellow autists: u ever say something that's like too transparently autistic that after u say it there's like this pause or lull in the conversation giving u just enough time to think to urself damn. that was rlly autistic
