Fascists are feeling emboldened now. America’s apathy toward their authoritarian punishment of minorities and poor people is finally catching up to us. I’m not saying everyone getting hurt by it deserves it, however as a country we’ve been building toward this, often enthusiastically, for a long time.
It’s going to take generational leadership to unfuck all of this and I don’t see that happening. We need a parallel justice system that operates solely to hold our bullshit legal system accountable. No one will want to do that until it’s too late. But it’s crazy how we just let the courts, cops and politicians all work together to fuck us over and exact state violence against us with no repercussions.
