America is violence itself. Invisiblized and visible.
America breeds such a violent disregard for human life. In it's every facet and manifestation. It has only ever known administering and distributing violence. Yet it is shocked when that violence strikes back at them.
Now, they want to talk about violence. Now, they want to talk about how violence has no place in their country. When all they do is spew hatred and advocate for violence against those who they see as undeserving of life itself. Don't be surprised when yours is taken as a result.

some anti-genocide people unfurled a Free Palestine flag behind Bernie Sanders at his rally just now and police thugs arrested them as Bernie Sanders looked on and let it happen without saying a word. A minute earlier Sanders said "Israel has the right to defend itself" and repeated his lie about "not one more nickel to Netanyahu" when he opposes sanctions and an actual arms embargo and to this day refuses to recognize the genocide
