I really cannot emphasize enough how long I've been on blogs warning people that we were moving like a slow motion riot towards disaster in this country.
We are literally tumbling slowly towards a Civil War.
Let me make this much perfectly clear. We live in a Police State, and we have for a very long time. And if you're my age or younger, this is all you've ever known.
People living in Major Cities being Policed like a War Zone, especially black and brown folks, the LGBTQA Community, and our Nation's Immigrant Communities, are ANGRY, and they have been angry for a very long time.
Every time a Cop is caught on camera MURDERING a black man, and we all line up in Protest, they tell us to be Peaceful. They talk about having Patience. They want to talk about "dialogue".
What's the point of dialogue when it's no more productive than taking to a wall? What are we supposed to be being patient for? Another all white jury to find a Killer Cop innocent???
And why should we be Peaceful any longer, when nothing changes but the names and faces of the dead???
No, the time for Peaceful dialogue is over. The time for patience was over a LONG time ago.
In fact, the only thing that's actually surprising about these angry Protests and nightly Riots is that it took this long to reach this point!
To make matters worse, we've all been in death grip between low wages, excessive housing costs, rising food prices artificially kept at excessive cost by corrupt Government Regulations favoring super Corporations like Mansanto, DuPont and others; as well the endless mountains of debt incurred to attend College and in some places just to attend a decent fucking Highschool.
If you're the average Working Class American in a City in the Deep South, making barely more than the Federal Minimum Wage, then chances are your Employer might as well just cut the pretense and admit we're just there slaves except we're no longer even given enough to afford Housing, Food, and Utilities, and certain not enough to afford basic everyday necessities like clothes, shoes, and hygeine products, forget about trying to raise a FAMILY in that Economic Vice.
As if living in a Police State without basic necessities wasn't bad enough, we have two useless Political Parties, one of which is less an actual Political Party than it is a Fascist Organization infiltrating all levels of Government from local school boards to the Presidency and the Senate.
THIS IS NOT BY ANY MEANS DEMOCRACY
It doesn't resemble anything like a Democracy or Republic or whatever the hell they want to call it.
Then we now have roving openly Neo-Fascist Organizations operating throughout the Country with little to know resistance by Government and being openly encouraged by the President, his allies, and the nod and winks and more coming from so-called "Establishment" Republicans, whatever the fuck that means.
Not only that but these wannabe Fascists in the White House have their own State Television in FOX News.
But FOX wasn't Fascist enough for the Fascists so now they have new media sources popping up around the Wig in the White House.
The Fascists even have a whole network of Organizations supported by the wealthiest of the Ruling Class to support the ability of Fascists to Organize and Police to kill weaponless lawyerless Minorities.
With almost no pretext or attempt the shield their maneuvering these people have taken over or blocked from proper functioning most Congressional responsibilities, Regulatory Agencies meant to protect the Public from out of control greedy Corporations, and the Courts, meant to be our absolute last line of Defense against abuses.
So anyone acting "surprised" on TV with the violence in the streets, is merely being facetious.
We're on the edge of a major tipping point whether people yet realize it or not.
Just like how it only takes one person throwing a bottle at police or starting a dumpster fire to turn a "Peaceful Protest" into a Riot; it only takes one of these riots going from Glass Bottles, Fireworks, Dumpster Fires and Tear Gas; to Pipe Bombs, Molotov Cocktails, Assault Rifles, Snipers and Residential fires.
It may not be tonight or tomorrow, or even this particular wave of Protests, but we are teetering on the edge.
How long before openly Fascist Paramilitary Organizations and Neo-Nazi groups are firing on Protests at the side of Police Officers?
I'm sorry, but groups of disorganized cells of online chats hitting the streets and calling themselves Antifa or Black Bloc or Anonymous, are simply no match for the Paramilitary Organizations of Racists that have been collecting weapons, training community members, Organizing with like minded groups, and hiding out in Idaho or Utah waiting for a moment just like this to make their move and take over physical and Political Infrastructure of the Country openly.
This is why it was important to be Organizing among Socialists, Communists, Anarchists and sympathetic Civil Libertarian Groups. Instead people fell for bait and switch from Democrats and left it to Liberals to defend their Rights.
And look at the results! How's that working out for us??? Where are our Liberal and Democratic Party defenders now???
Oh right, they're hiding in the background or calling for Peaceful dialogue AGAIN.
We SHOULD have been Organizing from the moment we saw how Occupy Wall Street was abandoned by it's so-called Allies in the Democratic Party.
We SHOULD have abandoned ANY illusions we might have had when we saw Black Lives Matter Protests scrutinized and tarred by Democrats and in the Media in a way Fascists NEVER have been.
We should have known and we should have been preparing and Organizing just like the Fascists.
Now we're at the edge of a very different kind of conflict and we're ABSOLUTELY unprepared. How many Leftist Organizations have been storing assault rifles and building Pipe Bombs or training Sleeper Cells to rapidly arm and deploy on the streets of their Cities. We should have been Recruiting potential ally Organizations and getting ready to be a line of Defense for the Workers, Black and Brown families, LGBTQA Community and Immigrant Rights Groups.
All I see is a lot of kids playing with fire and NO FUCKING CLUE how to put it out or control it.
If Anarchy hits the streets, it's going to be the Fascists regain control of our Communities working with Military members, the National Guard and Police. Does ANYONE really think they're going to protect your Rights or your family's Safety????
It's good to see people pushing back for once, but I also see potential for disaster. You damn well better have a big fucking hose if you're going to start a big fucking fire.
