Caitlin Johnstone – Substack June 29, 2026
I hold out hope because people aren’t buying the propaganda like they used to.
I hold out hope because trust in the imperial media is at an all-time low while our ability to attack and discredit the official narrative is at an all-time high.
I hold out hope because more and more people are realizing that capitalism simply does not work.
I hold out hope because empires don’t last forever.
I hold out hope because Iran just kicked the shit out of the US and Israel.
I hold out hope because China is showing the world that a nation can use its wealth and resources to improve human quality of life, harness renewable energy and expand scientific innovation instead of using the wealth and resources to wage wars and turn billionaires into trillionaires.
I hold out hope because Gen Z proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is morally superior to any generation which came before it with its forceful and uncompromising opposition to the genocide in Gaza.
I hold out hope because even as Israel keeps increasing its propaganda budget and Zionists keep expanding their influence over news outlets and social media, Israel’s worldwide approval rating keeps plummeting anyway.
I hold out hope because I’ve seen too many miraculous and inexplicable things in this life to believe revolutionary change is impossible.
I hold out hope because I know from my own personal experience that humans have vast untapped potential within themselves just waiting to be unlocked.
I hold out hope because I’ve seen so many longtime teachers of spiritual enlightenment say they’re getting more and more people coming to them after having spontaneous radical awakenings without any prior spiritual seeking.
I hold out hope because I’m seeing more and more chatter online about a strange phenomenon I’ve been experiencing in which people discharge deep psychological conditioning and energetic fixation points from their bodies using burps and dry heaves.
I hold out hope because a huge number of our problems are caused by doing way too many stupid things for stupid reasons we made up in our heads, so all that’s required is to stop doing them.
I hold out hope because fuck ’em, that’s why.
I hold out hope because the bastards who are destroying our world don’t want me to hold out hope.
I hold out hope because the most obnoxious propagandists are always telling us that revolutionary change is unrealistic, that environmental catastrophe is just a reality we all need to get used to, that AI is inevitable, that socialism is a silly pipe dream, that capitalism is the only system that could ever work, and that a better world is not possible.
I hold out hope because I refuse to give them the satisfaction of bending my will toward hopelessness.
I hold out hope because all our problems are ours to solve, and we can solve both our inner and our outer problems in the same way: by getting real with ourselves about what is true and what is fear.
I hold out hope because we live in wildly unprecedented times, and in unprecedented times, hopelessness is an irrational position — because nobody knows what’s going to happen.
I hold out hope because, from where I’m sitting, it truly looks like the only sensible way to be.

Mum fined £1,000 after leaving charity donation beside full bin
Story by Isobel Williams • 18h •
A mum says she was “floored” after receiving a £1,000 fly-tipping fine for leaving her charity donation next to a collection point – because the bins were full.
Kate Clayton, 57, brought along three bags of children’s clothes to donate to The Salvation Army and Asda’s breast cancer charity Tickled Pink on January 26.The teacher managed to fit two of the bags in, but says the bins were very full so she had to leave the last bag on the floor nearby.
Seconds after walking away, Kate claims she was stopped by a worker in council uniform and slapped with a £1,000 fine for fly-tipping.
Despite offering to take the bag back home with her, and doing so, she says the officer wouldn’t back down and she was left with the hefty amount to pay within 14 days.
These fines are on our people, migrants dont get these fines.
This is why folk have been begging Trump or Elon Musk to come run the country
There’s no hope
Big Shlomo has used the migrant hordes to destroy the West
Backed up by the blue-haired legions of doom.
We have nothing to look forward to but death
Hopefully the gay nigger-fest ends at death
humanity will be a mixed conglomerate
with chaotic selfidentification + lies of
history .
they have only chance to join the ETalien
Space government which already exists
since thousands of years .
I hold out hope, because man, (yes China included), can never bring about an Earthly Utopia, and no positive predictions ever come to fruition. So why my hope? Matthew 24 v 30 but until then Caitlin’s ethical endeavour is the way we must go. We can’t sit back and wait in laziness. Jesus will be looking for the Caitlins of this world, and not comfortable churchgoers. But hey, it’s an act of Faith, which can’t be taught.
this smells a bit like communism
which has proved a failure in every country its been imposed
rothschild is doing it now in the UK
and we dont want it
She’s another one sitting on a pile of sheckels baiting for drinking money while leaving the 99% to rot – like all jews. She never mentions the immigrant invasion or the data centres or the next war. Just pokes fun at this or that and tells you not to even think of doing anything “because that’s what they want you to do”.
I hold hope that people who uave ignorant opinions such as yours eventually obtain greater understanding of geopolitical politics and human disfunction.
You prove one of my assessments.” WE LIVE AMONGST FOOLS.’
Johnstone is a self-confessed Communist. Why is Rixon pushing this anti-white Commie on us?
Cute. But the jews will simply kill you. It’s a zero sum game for them. Unless you get rid of the sworn existential enemies of humanity (at lest 90% of the jews) you are walking dead.
This woman should learn to write like a lady instead of attempting the lingo of a dock worker.
Her bit about Iran beating down the U.S. & israel reveals the desired effect that ‘irregular warfare’ is having: the realization that ersatz israel is evil while the U.S. fakes it’s alliance to make that noticing happen.
Also Caitlin’s approval of younger people seeking spiritual guidance is fine unless the guidance they choose leads them to hell.
