It really is like watching a broadcast of a storm coming in that will destroy everything and people are just shrugging and saying "we've been through worse" when no, no they haven't.

I recently sued the police & got body cam footage. I was appalled at the level of surveillance it caught of people minding their business and having nothing to do with the police interaction. And then there’s the police drones. We should all be worried.

The irony is things that sought to bring “police accountability” like body cams accelerated us living in a heavily surveilled police state. Cameras are always watching.

Why crash the economy? CONTROL.
Yarvin: "No, this is not the right way to run the whole economy permanently... But.. it is the right way to reboot the economy. Flattening the financial system this way makes it much easier to control crime, of course—and also, any kind of antigovernment activity."

Black people in America have always lived under an authoritarian regime. The surveillance & policing of our neighborhoods reflect that. Tactics routinely deployed against Black people are now being deployed against the masses. We are canaries in the coal mine though. This moment was bound to happen.

This is why the framing of the current moment as the country suddenly becoming authoritarian drives me fucking crazy. This country has been at least somewhat authoritarian for its entire history. The *how* of it has changed over time, and what’s happening now is ramping it up. But it’s not new.

America is over. There is no coming back from this.
If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for.
The rest of the world has to move on from us.
They now know that the American people can't be trusted.
They're right.
