    We have had the internet for 30 years, and with it, the ability for common people to organize on a scale never before seen in civilization.

    Yet, somehow, still, we stand idly by and let injustice prevail. All it takes is organization and bullets, people. We could easily make these authority figures fear the common man as much as they want us to fear them, but alas, America is a wasteland of cowards. Oh well. I guess we get what we deserve.

      Indeed we do get what we deserve. The culture wars have proved to be quite successful, for those who want to keep all of the workers divided.

        it kinda worked in minneapolis. there was a lot of unnecessary destruction that affected hard working people. i would much rather see a tit-for-tat culture in response to police brutality. all we need for cops to respect citizenry is to have them fear retaliation from the public.

      That’s because it doesn’t affect white ppl. If there’s one thing history has taught me about this country is if it doesn’t affect white ppl nothing will happen.
