We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we never question why the super rich are never satisfied with what they already have.
I honestly think the constant argument of “why now” with any reference to the last 10 years is stupid. I mean let’s be real, then someone can say why not the last 15/20/30/50 years?
Maybe focus on the present…
I find they should pass a law where people in authority hada go thru a psych evaluation every 6 months to make sure they ain’t going mad on we cuz boy hmmm
@misfitpatriot_ Don't know why people think he is proving a point lol
Go up to anyone who is minding thier own business put a camera in thier face, antagonize and provoke them then constantly insult them with derogatory terms and 100% you will get punched in the face regardless of race
“Don’t drink out of the colored fountain” - Cranston says his mom warned him as a kid before a trip to Texas. So he lived through the Jim Crow era. Because — as so many of us keep saying — it wasn’t that long ago!!!!!
If a foreign army occupied Texas, American militias would mine the roads.
We know this because Texans will tell you themselves. Proudly.
They have bumper stickers about it.
They have prepared for it.
The entire cultural mythology of the American gun owner is built on exactly this premise:
When "they" come, we will be ready.
"They."
Some imagined foreign force that will one day arrive to take American freedom.
The irony is total and it is never examined.
The people most loudly committed to the fantasy of armed resistance against foreign occupation are the same people who looked at Iraqis mining roads against American soldiers and called them terrorists.
The principle they claim to love, an armed population will resist occupation, they apply exclusively to themselves.
The moment someone else applies it to themselves, in an actual occupation rather than an imagined one, the principle evaporates and what remains is:
"Why do they hate us?"
🇫🇷 FLASH | Un homme de 65 ans, se revendiquant comme "raciste", a mené une "chasse à l’enfant de couleur" en ouvrant le feu à la carabine sur des enfants âgés de 6 à 11 ans, ce dimanche en Haute-Loire. Un enfant de 10 ans a été blessé au mollet. (Le Progrès)
It’s happening again. Just as it happened in Ukraine. Just as it happened in China when African migrants started to become targeted during and after their Covid lockdown. Nothing in this world, not even humanitarian crises can shield Black people from anti-black racism.
