Nous republions un texte d'Adbusters

Adbusters est une organisation qui alerte sur les dérives de la publicité, des médias et de la société de consommation depuis 1989. Elle publie un journal et reste très active sur Internet. A l'initiative du mouvement Occupy Wall Street, Adbusters lance un appel à la rébellion en ce 13ème anniversaire du début de cette contestation pacifique du capitalisme et de ses abus financiers.

Declaration of Rebellion

Since we launched Occupy Wall Street thirteen years ago, the world has become meaner, more vicious, more selfish and less human — an insidious degradation of our whole global system has set in.

Big oil, Big Pharma, Big Ag and most mega-corporations are now corrupt. Global finance is corrupt. Meta, Google and X are totally fucking corrupt. Our elections are vulnerable and our sense of truth has been contaminated. And presiding over it all, our world leaders are monstrous opportunists. They only care about staying in power.

Under their rule, we have zero chance of working our way out of the climate crisis and other existential crises we’re in.

So on this anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, let's fire up our revolutionary imagination and try something new. Let’s launch a #FuckItAllFriday Rebellion.

Let’s take one day of the week and just … reclaim it. Make it ours. Repurpose it. Rededicate it to the service of the human spirit and a sane, sustainable future. Weekdays we work. Saturdays we party. Sundays we rest. And now, in cities around the world, we turn every Friday into a raucous carnival of resistance.

Most of us will just have fun . . . play jazz, recite poetry, drink, dance, make crazy love . . . maybe we’ll stick a few OUT OF ORDER signs on ATMs and manifestos on bank windows.

But the rough souls among us will take some skin. They’ll let air out of SUV tires … snarl traffic … block highways...
