Building a clown arena at the circus.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 43 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

As a circus performer, I'd like to take a moment to point out that the circus is traditionally full of outcasts and artists who challenge the status quo and are often exploited by capitalism. It's also given us antifascist icons like Josephine Baker.

I know it's a common saying and I'm just pissing into the ocean here, but I'm just trying to make a small change for the better. This dumpster fire of a regime could not run a circus if they wanted to.
