  • Today’s Racist Car Manufacturer that Tweets like Life is so Hard for Him

    One day on one of my walking tours, an anglo man, was very angry with me, because I said something about Elon Musk. I explained to the guest how something Musk said was wrong, and I even explained to him how that man Musk is making my life dangerous here. I explained to this man, how Elon Musk emboldens the right wing. I told him how my life had even been threatened at the very intersection we were standing at, and he said “so what” he clearly did not care about what B.I.P.O.C. suffer. I could see racism did not affect him, so he could care less. He even left without paying and even wrote my company trying to get me fired. What also troubled me, was that man sounded Israeli. He had the same accent as many Israeli tourists I have had in the past. I would have thought he would be against any nazi or neo nazi movements, but I guess I was wrong.

    History Is Not Even History

    In Nazi Germany they passed out writings from another big rich car guy named Henry Ford, and they would show them to the kids in school and the kids would read them and say, “wow, if the successful businessman thinks this way about these people, then what our teachers are saying must be true.”

    What Will Tomorrow Bring

    I think about kids today, kids that do not read. Kids that watch videos and at times aren’t sure if what they are seeing is real. How will these kids respond to a man (possibly the world’s first trillionaire), putting these racist ideas in their heads today?

  • To Blame the Victim

    I am a simple man. I wish only to live a simple life.

    But they push and they push. I read of white men in Europe and the Anglosphere, regurgitate non-sense about how they are being replaced. Many of these men are from Euro-Settler Colonial Societies, that have committed genocides and now claim to be victims.

    I read about how in the U.S. white males complain of no work, how the good jobs have left. Well maybe that is true, but that is capitalism. That is the ideology they applaud.

    These men, do not take account that B.I.P.O.C. in the U.S. also are struggling with job safety. We that do not have the same intergenerational wealth. We that are over-policed, and deal with overt and structural racism, and even lateral violence on the daily.

    Those privileged white males act like we have real political power.
    They act as if their countries economy was not enriched by the war industry, that kills brown people at will.

    They play victim of the same greedy evil capitalistic system that they applaud.

    Now I say to them “pull up your
    boot straps, whats up then, why you crying?”

    You are from the empire that has gotten
    rich off the suffering of others. The suffering of those students your government had murdered, world wide, that you never cared
    to learn their stories.

    The suffering of people tortured, that you never even bothered to
    read about it, or push so that evil would never again be done in your name.

    You play the victim, but you are the perpetrators who murder and dissappear indigenous women. You are from the empire that trains the death squads to do their dirty work.

    You voted an evil hate monger into office, who does not work to curve the carbon footprint of the country, he pushes to abolish enviromental protection laws. Who is the biggest polluter on the planet?

    A man was shot a few days ago, and you flew his body aboard a presidential plane. Why didn’t the bodies of Malcolm X, or Martin Luther King Jr. get the same treatment?

    They are threatening people who say anything about this white nationalist, who was probably killed by another white nationalist, and yet say nothing when Stephen Miller or Donald Trump dehumanize people. They say nothing of those dying in immigration detention, or the millions they starve worldwide with their economic policies.

    What Left?

    The Oligarchs with real power, keep talking about “The Left” What left? You have two PRO WAR, PRO GENOCIDE, PRO BIG BUSINESS parties.

    It is simple people that ask for you to stop killing and funding and arming genocides that you label the enemy. People that want peace and a more just world are what you consider your enemy.

    You do not fool anyone, you just throw labels around, so you can kill B.I.P.O.C. and continue your evil class war.

  • CLASS WAR & EUGENICS

    The reality is they kill poor people, especially those of color/BIPOC

    You see the genocides in Gaza, Congo, Sudan….

    You see it in Yemen…

    You see a U.S. President that speaks loud about “Muslim Travel Bans” and how he wants to speed up the genocide in Gaza to build condos.

    You see him appoint a wannabe Crusader/white supremacist to lead his Department of Defense, and then you will see the same president go and make deals in the Middle East and accept gifts from the super-rich.

    The people in power of the countries, the west calls “the Global South” are appeased and will applaud the status quo, only those that threaten the economic order, those that are not happy are targetted.

    This is truly CLASS WARFARE.

  • How Things Have Changed

    Recently I visited my home, after 5.5 years away, and what I saw and learned truly pained me. I loved seeing the palm trees after such a long time away, but then I started seeing the tents. In downtown L.A. there were more tents than before. I saw tents everywhere. I saw people living in tents on islands at traffic intersections. I had never seen such poverty in the so-called richest country in the history of the world. I saw mothers with signs, and mothers and fathers with their children holding up signs at shopping centers. It was all very troubling and very sad to see, as were the empty stores that had gone out of business. It all brought to mind the Merle Haggard song, “Are the Good Times Really Over for Good?“

    Another thing that really gripped me was how divided the country had grown. There were several U.S.A’s, instead of one. I thought of the opportunists and those corporations and robber barons they serve, and how they have sold the country out. Malcolm X once talked about “The chickens coming home to roost” and it all made sense, the relationship between capitalism and racism, the need for exploitation, the commodifying of suffering. Many historians believe Fascism is a revolution from the top down. It is not the workers on the bottom feeling screwed, no, it is about those on top, throwing a fit, and not wanting to share. That is why racism was created to divide the working classes, study Nathanial Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676. See how whites and blacks working together threatened the establishment, and they couldn’t have that; It’s like a guard in prison knowing that all the inmates are mad and they have their eyes on him. He doesn’t care about their religions or the amount of pigmentation on their skins, all he knows is that together they outnumber him and they are all angry and frustrated, so if he could just turn them on each other, it would make his life easier.

    I truly wish people can see that they are in the same predicament, and we are facing serious HUMAN ISSUES and we are wasting time and energy fighting each other, instead of tackling the real problems, e.g. Species Die Off, Climate Change, Lessening Nutritional Value of our Fruits and Vegetables, Eugenics, Endless Wars, and Cui Bono, Poverty, Wealth Inequality, Mental Health, Pandemics. United We Stand, Divided We Fall!
