“The groundswell of outrage over the invasion of Iraq often cited the preemptive war as a betrayal of American ideals. The subtext of the dissent was: This is not who we are. But not if you were standing where I was. It was hard to see the look in that palace tour guide's eyes when she talked about the American flag flying over the palace and not realize that ever since 1898, from time to time, this is exactly who we are. And what's more, Hawaii is, just as Theodore Roosevelt's circle predicted, crucial to the American empire's military presence in the Pacific. Pearl Harbor is still the headquarters of U.S. Pacific Command, just as it was for all three of America's twentieth-century wars in the Pacific with Japan, North Korea, and North Vietnam.”

“White Man, Apex Predator of Earth (Sonnets 2399-2400) 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. You demonize hitler for his measly 6m white body count! Americas were radiant with life, love and wonder, then columbus happened, and population dropped 90%, bengal had the world's finest silk industry, then churchill happened, and industry collapsed, 4 million starved to death, millions massacred across india, like australia, like leopold-infestation in congo. Everywhere the white man has laid his eyes on, plague, famine and massacre has followed, and they had the gall to send missionaries to the south - ubuntu, advaita, aztecs and mayans, each could eat eurotheologies for breakfast and still have room for a 50 course meal. In a way we should be thanking the cannibals, they were doing humanity great service, if only the africans, indians, native americans, aboriginal australians had done the same, earth would have been spared the brutalest extinction event in the history of life.”

“In Colonial English they say: not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslim. In Naskarian English we say: not all white people are animal, but 99% of historic predators, terrorists, traffickers, thieves, morons and imbeciles were white. United States has a 9/11 Memorial, Germany has a Holocaust Memorial, but if you endeavor to commemorate the earth victims of White Terrorism, you'll run out of walls before you run out of names.”

“At the end of the century, fascism leaves no lasting mark on thousand year old civilizations, it's only the adolescent countries like the US that get wiped out of existence, destiny manifested on patchwork history and bootleg culture, collapse into obsolescence.”
