At the end of the day, BLACK FOLKS…
They already have their minds made up about you. They don’t care about your education, your income, your house, your car, etc.
All they see is your Blackness.
So please spare the rest of us with the respectability politics!
You can't afford a house. So you rent.
Rent gets too expensive. So you buy an RV.
It's illegal to live in an RV. So you try to live in your car.
Still illegal.
So you end up homeless.
And it's illegal to be homeless on the street too.
America made every affordable alternative to a house illegal.
Then wondered why homelessness keeps climbing.
I will never understand how so many of y’all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.
They gave their working class no healthcare, no housing security, no guaranteed income, no protection from debt, no protection from the corporations that own their government.
And their working class responded not with rage at the system but with pride in the flag.
This is the masterpiece.
The most successful propaganda operation in modern history was not convincing Americans that other countries were dangerous.
It was convincing Americans that being American was itself a form of wealth that compensated for everything they didn't have.
Identity as a substitute for material security.
The empire doesn't just exploit the Global South.
It exploits its own people.
And its own people thank it for the privilege.
Father of Daisy, the second little girl to die of measles in Texas, tells Robert F. Kennedy Jr- founded anti-vaccine group, Children's Health Defense, that he doesn't regret not getting her vaccinated, and won't vaccinate any future children.
@The_Acumen Thing that’s crazy is the owners of these companies who are polluting our air, water, earth, raising our electricity bills, taking so much of the profits people can’t live, should feel lucky people are only going after their buildings or property and not their lives
Y’all let these folks convince y’all burning down businesses is violence, but those same businesses and corporations that literally poison the air you breathe and the water you drink, is just the cost of business. Y’all have been convinced your lives are worth less than buildings
Today i apologized to my manager for having to take numerous phone calls from Lebanon because of the bombings and she said “omg who’s bombing them?”
This is the reality of living in the US. This is the ignorance of the American people
@BombshellCole A company accidentally overpays an employee and the state gets involved almost immediately. Meanwhile people wait years for stolen wages, unpaid overtime, broken contracts. The law moves fast when it's moving against the poor.
You tell somebody in real life that you don't think no human being on this planet should be homeless & they look at you like you got 3 heads.
No human being should be homeless or hungry.....those are basic human needs
The President of the United States threatened to eliminate an entire civilization and the only thing investors care about is how will this impact the financial markets. If you cannot see the sickness of capitalism it is because you are benefiting from the disease.
Why are y'all so surprised by this country's ability to do violence when they did chattel slavery? Have y'all not seen the torture devices they created specifically for the enslaved?
Terrifying revelation. The Pentagon is deploying a horrifying soft kill microwave weapon on Black Hawk helicopters. It fires pulsed energy directly into the skull, boiling brain fluid and causing massive internal pressure. Washington is testing barbaric weapons in Iran.
Trump is doing to the U.S. what he did to all his businesses: siphon out as much cash as he can and leave the debts to the investors, in this case, the U.S. taxpayer.
