this idea, if it was ever real, came about at a time when a large chunk of people would accumulate some capital or get jobs with steady salaries etc- basically a stake in maintaining the status quo- as they got older. this isn’t happening now as we’ve entered a period of sustained and widespread secular stagnation with multiple generations only experiencing an economy of precarious scarcity. capitalism has created its own gravediggers.

So between the white woman who called the cops on a black family having a BBQ in a park, the white man threatening to call ICE in nyc on Latina women for speaking Spanish, and a white woman literally yelling for the cops while screaming “gun!” on a black man for making a u turn in their neighborhood should educate us all that white people are realizing that institutional racism is real but they are using it for their own white supremacist social benefit.
They are calling for the authorities knowing that the cops will take their side and will either arrest or murder people of color for simply being seen or heard.
Look guys, i hate having to do this and swallow my pride, but im on hard times here. My power is off and im running on power banks and the hospitality of family as much as i can, but the short of it is that i need my power back on and unfortunately its gonna cost me some $3000 to get it back. I could really use some donations to get my life on track, every little bit counts and even if you cant donate a simple reblog helps a lot.
