Other than being a famous novel about repression in the midst of massive surveillance, police brutality, suppression of public protest and an inept leadership who think they're the Emperor?
Why nothing at all...

DrCaleb DrCaleb:
It's far from all cops who are dirtbags, we should remember that.



In more recent events of violence, such as the LA riots of 94 or Ferguson/St. Louis, the deployment of the state police and National Guard usually helped calm things down more quickly. I presume it's because those agencies are under the command of the state governors, and can't be bossed around by a mayor or urban police chief. It appears to have failed this time though, as the powder keg that built up around Trump's daily evil, the rise of the neo-Nazis that support him, the general shitty & abusive behaviour of MAGA since January 2017, and the emotional/mental pressure from COVID got just too huge for anyone of good intentions to be able to quell.

The fuel for the explosion was there, like a confined room knee-deep in gasoline, combined with an ignition switch in the form of a president more than willing to make everything worse, which he deliberately did with his actions, tweets, and "orders". I can't think of any other president in my lifetime who would have done this on purpose. Not even LBJ or Nixon who, for their own flaws and bad policies, were more the victims of the time with the rage over Vietnam than actual provocateurs doing it for their own advantage. Only Trump would do something like this. Only him.

General James Mattis, USMC and former Secretary of Defense, condemns Donald Trump:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/ar ... on/612640/

$1:
IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH

I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled. The words “Equal Justice Under Law” are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind. We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers. The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values—our values as people and our values as a nation.

When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside.

We must reject any thinking of our cities as a “battlespace” that our uniformed military is called upon to “dominate.” At home, we should use our military only when requested to do so, on very rare occasions, by state governors. Militarizing our response, as we witnessed in Washington, D.C., sets up a conflict—a false conflict—between the military and civilian society. It erodes the moral ground that ensures a trusted bond between men and women in uniform and the society they are sworn to protect, and of which they themselves are a part. Keeping public order rests with civilian state and local leaders who best understand their communities and are answerable to them.

James Madison wrote in Federalist 14 that “America united with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier, exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat.” We do not need to militarize our response to protests. We need to unite around a common purpose. And it starts by guaranteeing that all of us are equal before the law.

Instructions given by the military departments to our troops before the Normandy invasion reminded soldiers that “The Nazi slogan for destroying us…was ‘Divide and Conquer.’ Our American answer is ‘In Union there is Strength.’” We must summon that unity to surmount this crisis—confident that we are better than our politics.

Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.

We can come through this trying time stronger, and with a renewed sense of purpose and respect for one another. The pandemic has shown us that it is not only our troops who are willing to offer the ultimate sacrifice for the safety of the community. Americans in hospitals, grocery stores, post offices, and elsewhere have put their lives on the line in order to serve their fellow citizens and their country. We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square. We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution. At the same time, we must remember Lincoln’s “better angels,” and listen to them, as we work to unite.

Only by adopting a new path—which means, in truth, returning to the original path of our founding ideals—will we again be a country admired and respected at home and abroad.


Donald Trump is a fascist and he's destroying the greatest country that ever existed. He needs to be removed from power immediately for the United States to be saved from self-destruction.

You do know that the full text and context of that comment is widely available, right? Perhaps you might avail yourself of this opportunity to educate yourself and to stop being a puppet for the fucking Marxists.

The only puppets out there right now are the ones chowing down on the propaganda and invective served out like raw meat at the Nuremburg rallies Trump's been holding since 2015.

Here's a new challenge for everybody...

Post a picture of yourself holding a book you've never read standing in front of a building you've never entered.
