I would join the violence in the streets. America has failed.
Call out the cops. America has still failed.
Call out the military. America has still failed.
Call out Homeland Security. America has still failed.
Call out Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. America has still failed.
Call out ICE. Call out the Park Police. Call out the DEA. Call out the CIA. Call out dogcatchers.
Call out the Capitol Police. America has still failed. Call out the rest of the police state. America has still failed. Call.
This is not a situation where if we just…
– Have a fair election…
– Tear down the racist monuments…
– Defund the police…
– Send Trump to an Arctic iceberg…
– Elect more women…
– Stamp out every last little Covid virus…
– Give everyone a job…
– Restructure health care so we all can have it…
– Reform public school…
– Reform tech…
– Give everyone a chicken in a pot…
– Keep people in their homes…
– Fix the highways…
Do all of this and lots more, and America has still failed.
Because its people are mean and cruel and ungenerous and greedy and paranoid and merciless and brutal and hungry and diseased and hard and spiteful and malevolent and tyrannical and vicious.
It is too late to reform anything, too late to take half measures, too late to assume approximations, too late to end eternal wars, too late to pretend racism is a passing phase, too late to share in the covetousness of the rich.
America is evil. America is done.
