Spinoff: Cops 2.0

Posted on: July 18, 2016 at 23:03:17 CT

Recapping (because of the audiences limited capacities to understand this is a 2.0 thread, which means things said in 1.0 are still relevant in this one).

- Shooting and putting glass in the sandwiches of police officers is wrong.
- BLM is bad. It's wrong. It's racist. (Insert pages of words that disapprove of BML).
- Specific incidents of police aggression have triggered outbreaks of violence against police.

Now imagine you are looking at society through a microscope and instead of seeing buildings and people and roads and hills you see cells, bacteria ect.

Got the visual?

Basically, could it be that we as an organism are fighting against the organism that is the police, who are the protectors and buffer between us and the systemic forces that make things the way they are?

In short. Is neo-liberal globalized capitalism under attack by the organism that is humanity?

Instead of pulling back the scope, looking for root causes and putting multiple pieces together we 'zoom in' on everything and isolate it on the simplest level -- cop murdered black person, black person shoots cop, ect. This kind of simplization brings things down to 'race' instead of focusing the more real issue, class warfare, which is a political-econmic issue caused by neo-liberal globalized capitalism.

You take the simple bait, you're left with a simple mind.

Be the fish that's hard to catch.

Namaste.
