American law enforcement is an occupying army dedicated to crushing dissent and maintaining inequality between the races and the classes.

America was literally founded on this principle and the federal government as a means to put down rebellion.

To put this right, we have to disarm law enforcement in America, change their entire outlook, move toward community enforcement as opposed to roving bands of fascistic military units.

And we have to address the fact that America is designed to protect intentional inequality.
What schools don't teach us is that the Constitution was developed after the Articles of Confederation failed to protect the wealthy across states from protests by people angry about inequality.

This, and the disgusting systemization of slavery, was an institutional divide.
You cannot fix this problem without addressing the fundamental issues of white supremacy and planned economic inequality inherent in America.

Until then, our law enforcement is an occupying force designed to put down justifiable rebellion, and it will only get worse.
It's not a coincidence that this movement is taking shape as our country fails to protect its people from a pandemic and fails to fix our economic crisis.

This nation is failing as a state, and failing states war with their people in the streets.

We have to recognize this.
