The video I clipped is of a smart bus stop in Suzhou with heated seats and a wireless phone charger. How many homeless ppl's eye contact am i going to have to break, how many pigeon shit crusted subway stations I walk past, how many more school shootings will I have to hear about and scroll past. I recite to myself America is a free country with same sex marriage. That has been the copium I've held onto for the past 4 years. It's starting to sound like a thought stopping cliché, that I am to close my eyes to the unhoused, the pigeon shit and the posts of school shootings and tell myself that my country is great and I breathe free. That the price of freedom includes: Mia Tretta a survivor of the 2019 Saugus High School shooting in Santa Clarita, and Zoe Weissman survived the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. Now both who lived through the Brown University shooting. Im tired and cold, I recite to myself that this is all worth it and its starting to feel like an empty ritual without real convictions. That the price of freedom is to dehumanize the ppl who deleted themselves on subway stations that yay the trains moving again and you can get to work on time. To step pass pigeon shit or the same broken step thats been there since 2022. The price of freedom now includes the comeback of Measles. My marriage is still recognized. And I close my eyes to the issues around me and enjoy my Gay Canadian Hockey smut. The party didn't have to tell me to close my eyes and ears. I am doing so myself of my own free will.

There is an old saying in the Middle East that isn't a metaphor. It is a schedule. It whispers a promise that the West refuses to hear: "First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people." For years, you were told that the rage burning across the Middle East was about borders, or maps, or the specific grievances of "Palestinians." You were told it was local. You were lied to. I saw a beautiful civilization, my own home of Iran, suffocated by this exact ideology. I know what the early stages look like because I have lived through the end result. This past weekend in Bavaria, the schedule moved forward. Five men sat in a room plotting to drive a vehicle through a crowded Christmas market. These were not desperate refugees fleeing persecution. They were three Moroccans, a Syrian, and an Egyptian imam who used the pulpit to demand blood. Their target was not an embassy or a military base. It was families drinking hot chocolate. It was children looking at lights. They did not plan this slaughter because of a settlement in the West Bank. They planned it because you are Christian, because you are secular, and because you exist. The Jewish people are simply the first line of defense in a war against civilization itself. When that line breaks, the violence does not stop. It expands. If you think you can buy safety by looking away when they come for the Jews, you are tragically mistaken. When they are done with Saturday, they are coming for Sunday. To invite this ideology into your home and call it diversity is not tolerance. It is not multiculturalism. It is a slow, agonizing suicide.
