Insurrection Quotes

“This is the week,
the primetime hearings on insurrection
and sedition,
our last chance to make known
and believed
the ugly truth of our last president,
the nefarious doings of his cohorts,
the insanity we all witnessed and went through,
the coup we just barely avoided.

It's now or never.

The jury is out,
the jury of public opinion.

The jury is us.”
― Shellen Lubin

“The only thing we knew for certain was the American Civil War was not a prelude to a kiss.”
― Aberjhani, Greeting Flannery O'Connor at the Back Door of My Mind

“Violence meant to seize and shore up power—a claim to sovereignty through the violence of the mob—is fundamentally American.”
― Kathleen Belew, Myth America: Historians Take On the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past

“How can an insurrection be orderly?" I asked. "How can students, told to be armed with any sort of weapon, keep themselves in check?”
― Daphne du Maurier, The Flight of the Falcon

“Thank You Republicans (The Sonnet)

Thank you republicans, for acting,
As the perfect example of primitivity.
Thank you republicans, for standing,
As the picture of unchristianity.
Thank you republicans, for behaving,
As the definition of new age terrorism.
Thank you for being the personification,
Of ignorance, prejudice and divisionism.
Thank you republicans, for serving,
As a sickening example of superstition.
Thank you for providing the lowest bar,
Against which we can measure human ascension.
Thanks for being everything a human must never be.
Thank you republicans, for demonstrating what is inhumanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“Not all terrorists live in the shadows, some own rocket companies, and provide fellow terrorists unhindered, "above-the-law" access to all the exposure they could dream of.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

“World Domination (A Satirical Sonnet)

White people's pain is pain,
Everybody else's is just discomfort.
That is why you peddle Hitler,
As such a monster.
You don't hate Hitler because,
He wanted to dominate the world,
You hate Hitler because he wanted,
To dominate everybody, including the whites.
The world is but heirloom to the whites,
All other claims are null and void!
Loot like a pommy, rebel like an insurrectionist,
Trod on whoever, just not the fellow white!
World domination is the ultimate white privilege.
Threat to white welfare is the ultimate
human rights infringement.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“If I wanted to use a platform controlled by mindless, privileged, entitled, pestilential, white terrorists, I'd have gone for Truth social.”

― Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth

“We are sometimes asked in the name of patriotism to forget the merits of this fearful struggle [the Civil War], and to remember with equal admiration those who struck at the nation’s life, and those who struck to save it—those who fought for slavery, and those who fought for liberty and justice.

I am no minister of malice. I would not strike the fallen. I would not repel the repentant, but may my right hand forget its cunning, and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I forget the difference between the parties to that terrible, protracted and bloody conflict.”
― Frederick Douglass

“A world without 9/11 and January 6 begins with a heart without hate.”
― Abhijit Naskar

“Later, some of his supporters decide that Antifa orchestrated
the whole thing. It’s as if Antifa, probably taking advantage of a
group-discount rate at the MAGA store, suddenly show up decked out
in all this crap, I mean, merchandise, and duped the poor, pathetic
Make America Great Again crowd. Sometimes reality is an orphan in the valley of the true believers.”
― Gary J. Floyd, Barbarians in the Halls of Power

“World Without 9/11 (The Sonnet)

Better a kindhearted fool than a heartless tool,
Kindness is born when we aren't afraid of burning.
Coldness looks appealing on nuts and bolts,
On human beings it is absolutely unbecoming.
A world without 9/11 and January 6,
Begins with a heart without hate.
Cultural and racial profiling don't ensure security,
True security is born when we act as love incarnate.
The helpless, forgotten, discriminated and destitute,
Are my brothers and sisters, and I won't stop,
Till I lift them up to take their rightful place,
Upon the fabric of society, with my last blood drop.
Each and every breath of mine is public property.
Once I die for the people, then I can live in serenity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Handcrafted Humanity: 100 Sonnets For A Blunderful World

“To wage a war is easy, what's difficult is to wage a war without harming the innocent. And that's where a reformist differs from a terrorist.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Dervish Advaitam: Gospel of Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers

“Don't be like the nitwit Americans of January 6 who felt threatened by the equalization of the American people, instead, be like those brave Russians who have the guts to stand up for life, liberty and equality of their neighbors, even at the risk of being persecuted as traitor to their country.”
― Abhijit Naskar, High Voltage Habib: Gospel of Undoctrination

“Humanity means expansion, not exclusion - humanity means inclusion, not insurrection.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“If Hate is Holiness (The Sonnet)

Civilization is a civilian in action,
Standing unbent against all charm.
This is called civilized activism,
The will to stand up without harm.
If vandalism were activism,
Insurrection was patriotism.
If Jan 6 is deemed patriotism,
9/11 was divine intervention.
If 9/11 is deemed a divine act,
Hate is but an act of holiness.
If hate is ever deemed holiness
That is the end of all common sense,
To witness civilization you gotta be civilized.
Even God acting on hate is a being uncivilized.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“Good Seed (The Sonnet)

It is existentially impossible,
For all republicans to be inhuman fiend.
But when they violate human rights as daily choir,
It is also impossible to notice the good seed.
It is existentially impossible,
For all republicans to incite hate and violence.
But when a party coddles guns over children,
It is difficult to find anything good in them.
It is existentially impossible,
For all republicans to confuse divinity with division.
But when a party uses bible as an excuse for bigotry,
It is impossible to see the silent vessels of inclusion.
Forgive me, if at times I have been harsh at an entire party!
I know you're there, o good seed - it is time to grow some greenery.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission

“Like festivals, uprisings cannot happen every day- otherwise they would not be "nonordinary." But such moments of intensity give shape and meaning to the entirety of a life. The shaman returns you can't stay up on the roof forever - but things have changed, shifts and integrations have occurred -a difference is made.”
― Peter Lamborn Wilson, TAZ: The Temporary Autonomous Zone

“Lay down a map of the land; over that, set a map of political change; over that, a map of the Net, especially the counter-Net with its emphasis on clandestine information-flow and logistics and finally, over all, the 1:1 map of the creative imagination, aesthetics, values. The resultant grid comes to life, animated by unexpected eddies and surges of energy, coagulations of light, secret tunnels, surprises.”
― Peter Lamborn Wilson, TAZ: The Temporary Autonomous Zone

“On January 6, months of fearmongering and lies about voter fraud and a stolen election exploded into a deadly insurrection. Jones Day wasn't to blame, but it wasn't not to blame either. The firm had contributed to misapprehensions about the vulnerability of the electoral system. More important, it had nurtured, protected, and enabled Donald Trump since long before anyone took his candidacy seriously and for long after his demagogy was impossible to miss. Now the costs were clear. (303)”
― David Enrich, Servants of the Damned: Giant Law Firms, Donald Trump, and the Corruption of Justice

“People may hear ‘white nationalism’ and assume it to be adjacent with patriotism, or at the very least consider it as pro-American. But after 1983 the nation at the heart of white nationalism was not the United States but rather the Aryan nation, imagined as a transnational polity of white people who would need to be saved from extermination through race war and violence. This is a fundamentally more violent and radical position than that implied by ‘nationalism.”
― Kathleen Belew, Myth America: Historians Take On the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past

“Although in this case it is an understandable, emotional reaction meant to decry antidemocratic violence, the notion that January 6 is 'not who we are' is one manifestation of what has become a regularly deployed Republican Party and right-wing media strategy: to deny the workings of overt and violent racist activism even when those actions threaten American citizens and democracy itself.”
― Kathleen Belew, Myth America: Historians Take On the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past

“Quote by John W. Mccleary

"January 6th was a fantasy that didn't work"

(The election was completed on January 6 in six minutes.)”
― John W. Mccleary

“He longed (he knew it now) to turn his anger into action—to make his escape from the gaols of precedent; to make a bid if not for final freedom then at least for a day. For a day. For one tremendous day of insurrection.”
― Mervyn Peake, Boy in Darkness

“Whenever intolerance raises its fangs,
hiding behind menorah, saffron or crucifix,
Every Samaritan must become Samurai -
Every Civilian - Arabi, Azadi, Ashiqui!”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Till this day, white people manufacture
99% of the world's human rights violations.
If you right the wrong, it's cussed as wokeness,
To support white terrorism is patriotism.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“The Christ I know is the antithesis of christian nationalism.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“The Christ I know was a colored arab, who took a stand against intolerance. The Christ I know is the antithesis of christian nationalism.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Christ becomes a vessel of hate,
Koran is used to peddle division.
Saffron substitutes the color of blood,
Discrimination becomes the new tradition.

Somewhere they cut Islam from curriculum,
Somewhere they convert museum into mosque,
Somewhere they erase black history - it's all
part-n-parcel of the same nationalist muck.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets
