Writers would like to imagine that their art will change the world, but rare are those who make good on that promise. For a decade and change, the activist known to many as ‘Danson’ – and even fewer as David – has been hard at work battling the largely unseen machinations of the looming American threat. While this likely nom de plume may not come up in the 24-hour newscycles, stuffy lectures or on any birth certificates, the importance of Danson’s work can be found in the graffiti on government

Writers would like to imagine that their art will change the world, but rare are those who make good on that promise. For a decade and change, the activist known to many as ‘Danson’ – and even fewer as David – has been hard at work battling the largely unseen machinations of the looming American threat. While this likely nom de plume may not come up in the 24-hour newscycles, stuffy lectures or on any birth certificates, the importance of Danson’s work can be found in the graffiti on government buildings and in the strains of those who urge us to stand up against our bullies. Though what he presents to us is a mosaic of characters at war with themselves as much as they are actively in the crumbling world around them, interwoven with political jargon and grim atmospherics, Danson’s message is clear: there will come a point in the very near future when we use up everything we have. We are still the hunter-gatherers we’ve always been (and we will always be) but soon there will be nothing more to discover, nothing more to horde and consume – our sights will become fixed on what someone else has. In this landscape, you must also protect and preserve what is yours, perhaps at great cost. As problems persist and things get bleaker, the non-essentials start to be stripped away. Over time, the snowball gets bigger. There are less and less qualified people to deal with an issue of such magnitude, and so people band together with like-minded people. They form committees, groups, communes. But as things keep getting worse – because they always do – these unions start to fracture. These inner circles get smaller and much less benevolent. The powers that be will struggle to obfuscate the popular truths. Despite this, it doesn’t take long before the consumers figure it all out: The fish rots from the head.
