what is going on in this world of ours???

We seem to have too many communities where the cops aren't really there to "serve and protect" but to intimidate and basically torture people.

Do these cops go back to the station at the end of the day and laugh about this? I don't get how a human could do that to another human.

individuals to bully and brutalize at taxpayers' expense and harm. I see little being done to reign it in, that's because often I think the superiors are of the same ilk as the cops on the street.

... I think it is a top-down strategy, in concert with giving the police military equipment they don't need. Surplus my ass.

of our democracy. It's one more aspect of the corporate authoritarian state - mass surveillance, intimidation of journalists, suppression of protest - being constructed around us.

but oligarchs have found they can now do it in the US and even have many of the peasants vote for them and welcome them as great leaders. This country is going down a dangerous road, but far too many Americans are too stupid, too ignorant or just don't F'en care enough to stop it in the land of la la delusions. And many willingly participate in it thinking they are one of them or about to be, so damn naive.

progress. But at least we are thinking and complaining. Most here would be willing to do real things if we could find any avenues for improvement. We are presently in the stage of realizing the stark reality of our conditions. Now it's a matter of percentages.
On our side there might be as many as 35% of Americans understand had bad off the political system really is. But in the face of
serious amounts of money in the hands of a very small majority, we would have to have about 80% of the people knowing that we are being systematically deprived of rights as a citizen. And even with an 80% majority, it still might not be enough. You know, a thousand prisoners need only a few dozen guards because the prisoners are locked in cages.

Question, how could 1,000 prisoners escape en masse from prison. Think about that because that is our situation. Or to put it in a larger context, how could 350,000,000 of us escape from 30,000 prisons and achieve real freedom?
