**'White Privilege on Steroids': Ire After Pro-Trump Mob Gets Red Carpet Compared to Black Lives Matter**
"Brett Wilkins, staff writer: Had the Capitol insurrectionists "been Black and Brown," they "wouldn't have made it up those steps," asserted Rep. Cori Bush. : "
Arggh, gawd it is so frustrating listening to our corporate press solemnly bemoaning the rabble threatening our “Democracy”.
The Democracy where the people hv less then a 30% chance of the citizens needs be heard in congress, over the desires of big money, our trillion dollar military, and Wall St price fixers.
The Democracy where two major parties control and exclude millions of the votes and voices. Where over 100 million don’t vote bc they understand their votes are worthless.
We have Biden bc hundreds of Billionaires wanted him, not bc democracy works.

That patriotism which tends toward unity without regard to liberty is an evil patriotism.

Even in times of a fascist coup liberals are confusing anarchy with fascism.

Okay, they are also confusing capitalism with freedom.
Today, both CNN and Fox News labeled the white nationalists, neo-Nazis, Qanon conspiracy theorists and Trump supporters who marched into the capitol as "anarchists." Anarchists have been fighting fascism and white supremacy for centuries. Don't let these pundits re-write history.

TW | Mention of murder of a black person
So, let me get this straight,
You're a white supremacist rioting for... nothing(?), you get to be gently hand walked down stairs so you don't get hurt by the police.
&
You're a black person who's rioting for your own human basic fucking rights not to be murdered, and you... Get murdered?
obvious uspol thoughts, bit stoned
it's not really insightful to say this, but it's so blatant
we're obsessed with the idea of joining the wealthy elite by serving them as obediently as possible. the american dream isn't equity, it's supremacy and luxury.
america sells the idea of upward social mobility, banking on the idea that you'd consider potentially tipping things in your favor to be preferable to equality
everything has to be exceptional because we need to be better than someone else
