To the folks still determined to believe activists have been overreacting these past two years, god I hope everyone else's hard work gives you the luxury of continuing to live in privileged apathy. I hope you come away feeling vindicated for "not getting involved with politics".

If nothing by now has shaken your faith that it'll all be fine without your help, I don't want to see the thing that changes your mind. I really don't.

What is it that you think a government institution can do that voluntary cooperation can't achieve?
-
Involuntary cooperation. Like compliance with the law, civil rights, etc.
-
Wasn't the fight for civil rights against the government (Jim Crow LAWS Runaway Slave ACT)? Why do you think that the government can enforce rules better than groups of people who voluntarily cooperate to do so?

You may find history interesting to study. Here's a documentary series you might enjoy:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D5xwC6M_Gk&list=PLOwK3r1sMvSZVth7XGlcpfLSjS3tAp90T&index=2 …

I'll check it out. Please don't assume I'm ignorant of history please. Don't you find it interesting that some of the most famous cases of segregation and racism were in public schools and public busing and abuses against black people were often carried out by public police?
-
yeah but based on your bio im guessing your solution is to replace the public police with private police
-
For good reasons. Should black people be "paying" taxes for biased police enforcement against them and their communities?
-
no, which is why you abolish police instead of just replacing them with something profit-driven. i mean, do you seriously think the only problem with our private prisons is how they interact with public institutions?

this kind of jingoism is disappointing coming from you tbh. it feels like a West Wing version of Trump's "make America great again". you can hate Trump without going rah-rah and gushing about "our institutions". they were heinous long before him.
-
I'll tell you this, I did not expect anyone's bar for what they consider jingoism to be as low as "Rah, rah, we're not a dictatorship yet!"
-
you have some "america" in mind whose institutions you believe in and want to go back to. I can't imagine the era you have in mind that would be principled and satisfying. rose-tinted memories about how good it was when Obama bombed foreign kids with a veneer of respectability?

our institutions are exactly what get us imperialistic and profit-seeking leaders and voting is useless unless paired with the radical grassroots organizing that gets us candidates who aren't totally hell-bent on bombing foreigners or giving tax breaks to the rich.
-
See, there's the kind of hopeful possibilities that make me support our institutions over, say, dictatorship or anarchy :)
-
But institutional power goes against grassroots organizing and vice versa. Our institutions are not democratic - they're plutocratic. That's why I support anarchism or just any other grassroots political system.

While I feel the sentiment is overwrought, this would be a good opportunity to build a bipartisan movement to reinforce constitutional restrictions on the Federal Government. There would be less to fear if less power was surrendered to the Federal Government.

¿Cómo va el péndulo, Rafa? En mi opinión, si fuera un grandfather clock, ya lo habría destrozado por un lado

De acuerdo, pero si creo que el día de hoy fue decisivo para lo que vaya a pasar en el futuro inmediato.
