Think, just for a moment, about the ridiculous fear drummed into so many Americans about "antifa".
First, "antifa" don't even exist as an organised group. Second, what is "antifa" short for? Antifascist. Y'know: like the entire Allied force in World War Two was antifascist.

Any fully joined-up member of the human race is antifascist, anti-racist, and pro-democracy.
THIS is what people are scared of? Seriously?
If you're scared of that, I can only conclude you're a fascist yourself.

"They are taking our country away from us!"
1. Who is 'they'? The People, over 81m of whom voted for Joe Biden?
2. Or do you mean 'Black people'? "Black people are voting democratically! The horror!"
That's what this all boils down to, isn't it? American racism.

As Doc Rivers said in August: "We keep loving this country and this country does not love us back".
That's what the Black Lives Matter protests are all about. That's what the heroism of Eugene Goodman was all about. Loving the United States - which does not love them back.

Tell me about the "economic anxiety" of those who went to the Capitol to try and kill elected representatives.
Tell me about the "economic anxiety" of those who, for centuries, enjoyed a 90m head start in a 100m race, and can't handle even a 50m head start.

It's not "economic anxiety". It's racism. Plain and simple.
And when you go to the United States, and you see how racially segregated practically every damn city is - with Black people always in the poorer, more neglected areas - you'll see what I mean.

Black Lives Matter is about people wanting the United States to live up to its ideals. It never has until now. Yet still they believe in something better; still they believe in the arc of the moral universe bending towards justice.
And they bend that arc peacefully. With love.

If millions of Americans are actually scared of THAT... maybe they could educate themselves by reading the Constitution of the United States.
