Nah, but seriously—anything at all helps and is much appreciated. Even a smidgen of money. Even, e.g., ¢ 0.3 ($ 0.03 USD)!

#Thelema offers a discourse countering sham materialistic "power", emphasizing transformative *empowerment*, existential optimization, and #non-rational knowledge that challenges hegemonic narratives and control systems. It allows for alternative modes of being and knowing that refuse #totalization.

The end goal of capitalism is the last person on Earth starving or suffocating to death on a golden throne atop a mountain of skulls, each one's eye-holes stuffed with wads of cash.

(... No, but seriously: The show ended and just after the lights came back on, a half-full (it seemed/*felt*) can of Michelob Ultra got me in the eye socket. Not fun, though after a few ice packs I'm feeling relatively alright. (For now, anyway.)...)

That being said—incredible #performance by AFI!

MY MISTAKE if I accused any of you without good reason and for snapping in general. Also, while you claimed I said otherwise, you did indeed mishear me over the noise from the loudspeaker: What I genuinely said was, "You hit me in the face—and nearly broke my nose!"

Anyway, awesome show!

To whom it concerns,

Person/s @ #BrooklynParamount —385 Flatbush Ave Ext, Brooklyn, NY—Thurs night, 10.16.25, for #AFI #show: I apologize—profusely—if I miscommunicated w//misunderstood you earlier. I was told one of you was the one who lobbed a can of beer at my face, striking me in the right eye.

Of course, the 'truer truth' here is even more sobering; the system is really, as they say, 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥: The #American #State, for 'its' high-minded (so-claimed) #democratic ideals, presents the mere 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘦 of liberation while—as #Capital is wont to do—grinding humanity into dust.
