FUCK THE SYSTEM



The world is going through radical transformation, the need for change is a collective need, we praise it, we desire it. Many are the communities and networks involved in the many riots, manifestations, activities taking place around the world and online agaisnt racism, against fascists, against pollutions and the extreme toxic waste of our resources, we want to defend our rights, we wnat to defend our future, power to the people. Social media are helping the spreading of information among the communities, we are the witness of our times, we are the narrators of the events. We participate, actively, even from home while we carry on our daily life. Revolution is part of our routine, it is sacrifice but also it is cool, sexy, fun. We make memes to speak and make our protest viral. Fuck the system triptych is based on the famous meme and picket slogan "Sex is good but have you ever fucked the system" and it does it appropriating the slogan and applying it in the context of a private moment, on the bed, presumely after sex, to state that even when we are in our privacy and doing other things we can not stop thinking about revolution, we still take part in the protests, everytime in every occasions and from everywhere we are, simultaniously while we chill, eat, work, fuck, non-stop, always involved and engaged, part of it. We are the revolution!
