As we transition into full-blown tyranny, and the out-group begins to grow, I’m trying to educate myself about how to cope with it, survive and maybe even resist. I have found that discussions among black Americans online are extremely enlightening in this regard, presumably because they have existed forever in a precarious state, something like that which many more of us are about to be thrust. I’m not interested in scapegoating black males over this election. This happened because too many Americans are dumb fucks, ruled by emotions, and gullible as hell. End of story.
I’m fucking sick of talking about race as if it means anything at all compared to class. We need a two step program
Tax the fucking billionaires out of existence
Stop destroying the biosphere
Want to make that program palatable? We use the billionaire taxes to make life suck less for everyone in a clear, food-on-the-God-damn-table-and-children- in-decent-schools
Kind of way.
Racism is real and deadly, but what are we gonna do? Bully the racists into being less racist? Send them off to camps for re-education? Let’s just focus on giving everyone enough money that they don’t have to rely on some racist boss to give them a job, or a racist landlord to give them (allow then to pay for) a home.
Sounds good until you factor in the need for votes to get such policies in place and the fact that it won’t happen because the racists are responding to media stimulus.
