I hope shit gets fucked up every time a pig tries to murder someone.
I'll take that over silence any day.
BLM has been building to that for years.
It's good. it's very good. We need to regain protesting and direct action on a massive scale.
BLM is gonna save us all by waking us up.
Every day brings me to new levels of "death to America" that I didn't think was possible
Today I got cussed out by a boomer that told me I am a control freak and that mask rules = communism. I'm so fucking tired.
That's really what it comes down to whether people that espouse right wing bullshit realize it or not, in every case it is the freedom to impose their will on another, and to never have their own impeded on.
When you grow up during the Bush Administration and Obama runs for president when you're 16, you actually trust a politician. You know you're not supposed to, but Hope and Change. He's going to make all of this better, you think, with your stupid teenage brain. Then you become an adult in Obama's America and you see life get harder for everyone you know while the media tries to convince you things are as good as ever.
Bernie Sanders appears and starts making enough sense for you to find yourself trusting another politician. And yeah, his ideas are good, but he gets burned by the media, loses the primary, flips for his party, endorses a platform that embodies none of the priorities of his supporters, and then gets blamed for splitting the vote anyway. Twice. You resolve never to trust another politician. Entrenched interests have total control over the electoral process. Republicans and Democrats will both roll over when it's convenient. Electoralism doesn’t work.
You're disillusioned with the lies of the ruling class, but it's not just you. Thousands of people are learning how to use the internet to organize direct action. Class solidarity is waking up. It's a long road ahead, but it looks like hope and change are on the horizon for real this time.
^I’m here right now. Anyone know what happens next in the political optimism arc?
make connections and comrades and support them/benefit from their support. Find ways to support socialist, pro union, and other leftist groups. Grow food and work on mutual aid. Be a kind person. We are in this together. and we can make a better future!

You're laughing. Three Kenoshan dump trucks are burning and you're laughing.
Did the city put them there to block protestors from driving in or something?
yeah. whoever thought that up is gonna get sacked.
unlike the guy who killed Jacob Blake.
The state is willing to let hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless lives go up in smoke to try and stop protestors instead of meeting their demands, I don't know how anyone can look at this and not be radicalized.
As we seem to be slowly heading into a second Corona wave over here, I decided to go home to my parents' place for a few months. I really missed their takes on life.
Dad, on Hamilton: "Ah, it is such fantastic nationalist propaganda! My god, I wish we could create something half as good! And all the Democrats go to this and clap, yes? God damn, the Americans are so good at patriotic brainwashing!"
Mom, after I tell her about Kenosha: "Who even wants to join the police except for the worst violent scum? You think people who want to protect others actually get accepted into the police and the military? It's where America puts all the most violent people, so they're killing people on the state's command and not for their own fun!"
Fun times with the rabid anti-American parents :')
I also happen to be a long lost brother, what a coincidence
A lone white boy with an AR is walking in front of the Kenosha SWAT bearcat and it's BACKING UP lmao thanks white boy
Rest in power, Jacob Blake, now and always.
they shot him in front of his three sons.
