“We reproduce catastrophe because we ourselves are traumatized - both as a species and individually, beginning at birth. Because we are wounded, we have put up psychic defenses against reality and have become so cut off from direct participation in the multidimensional wilderness in which we are embedded that all we can do is to navigate our way cautiously through a humanly designed day-to-day substitute world of symbols - a world of dollars, minutes, numbers, images and words that are constantly being manipulated to wring the most possible profit from every conceivable circumstance. The body and spirit both rebel.”

- David Watson, The Pathology of Civilization (via antidelusions)

As many as 200,000 people have marched through the streets of Brazil’s biggest cities, as protests over rising public transport costs and the expense of staging the 2014 World Cup have spread.

The biggest demonstration was in Rio de Janeiro, where 100,000 people joined a mainly peaceful march.

In the capital, Brasilia, people breached security at the National Congress building and scaled its roof.

The protests are the largest seen in Brazil for more than 20 years.
‘Not satisfied’

In Brazil’s largest city, Sao Paulo, about 65,000 people took to the streets.

The wave of protests kicked off earlier this month when Sao Paulo residents marched against an increase in the price of a single bus fare, from 3 reals ($1.40, £0.90) to 3.20.

Authorities said the rise was well below inflation, which since the last price increase in January 2011 has been 15.5%, according to official figures.

The way these initial marches were policed - with officers accused of firing rubber bullets and tear gas at peaceful protesters - further incensed Sao Paulo residents and shifted the focus from rising transport costs to wider issues.

Barceloneta

Still my second favourite city in the world after Glasgow, above Prague even though I lived there.There’s something about Barcelona. I’ve been six times and every time it surprises me somehow.

Visited the Montjuïc cemetery this morning. After seeing the graves of Durruti, Ferrer, & Ascaso, and the memorial to the victims of Franco and fascism, I spent some time just wandering around. I’m fond of cemeteries (not in a morbid goth way, but simply because they’re often beautiful and interesting places), and this was certainly among the most magnificent I’ve visited.

More pictures to come, when I get them off my camera.

oh wow

Durutti’s fuckin’ grave man
