The same equally goes for you. The state claims your complicity in its actions, they say they represent the American people as they slaughter innocent children around the world. The state says that you support them, that you have entrusted your power with them, that they use to evict families from their homes and take toddlers from their mothers, and send innocent people to rot in detention centers. They say this every day, claim your active support and endorsement, and yet you’ve never raised a fist, you won’t even raise your voice.
I’m doing what I can. Its time for you to smash the ballot counting tables. No vote cast will save you, it only ever delayed the inevitable for everyone but wealthy white families. They want you to see politicians as representing you. They don’t. They want you to see the police as protecting you, they don’t. They want you to cast your ballot so they can claim your approval. The American people voted for Biden, he claimed to represent the American people while committing crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people. He claimed your vote showed your approval. Did you do anything then? Are you going to do anything now? Every day that you accept this system is another day that you uphold it.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Start the revolution. We’re waiting.
