Was having a discussion with one of Indian Country's most astute and intelligent voices and he graciously told me I could share his words. The video isn't his. When I asked him to tell me what he thinks of these riots.
Brother/Genius James Giago Davis:
I hope they become larger, better organized, and networked. This is what happened in France in 1789. There is no cure for what ails our country. We cannot use this system to correct the flaws in this system. Which is why, beyond your local election, voting is pointless. It just validates a corrupt process of limited choice controlled by a rich and powerful elite. Throughout history, these types of riots are the spark that ignites into a groundswell of populist determination to bring down the corrupt prevailing order. Don't think this one will do that but like Occupy Wall Street it is a harbinger for the upheaval that can end plutocratic rule in our country. This YouTube video explains what the plutocrats have created.
Rebellion is better organized, Davi. But once the unrest hits the streets, there is always looting, always buildings burning, so the best we can hope for is that the organization will be comprehensive enough to limit it. Also, people must be aware of agent provocateurs, because the police in Minneapolis immediately had them at the protests to make the protestors look bad.
The prevailing order has gone to a lot of trouble to ratchet this society hard right, and they do not appreciate the proletariat forcing it back into the realm of social justice. In our society, proles are not communist foot soldiers, they are wage slave working stiffs. One good thing these riots have done is jar the proles out of their COVID 19 fear stupor, artfully imposed and masterfully exaggerated to keep us afraid and galvanized away from networking in our own interest around causes and ideas that directly threaten the existing social order of wanton privilege.
This YouTube video explains plutocrats in our nation, It's not from James but it fits. Look it up, I'm having an issue posting the link. It's titled: America's Stunted Political Spectrum
