Civility for Dummies

Calling for "civility" in response to abuse and criminality is wrongheaded. 

Blame Pres. Obama for refusing to prosecute Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Rice-Powell for organizing torture & engineering public deception to wage illegal war in Iraq. Bullies are emboldened when there is no accountability. We're adept at ignoring our own genocidal crimes.

• Until the 1860s we allowed buying, whipping, owning "colored" people, and subsequently let former "owners" keep all proceeds from their now-illegal trade. 

•  Native lands & resources are being stolen even today.

In semicivilized America, civility is a dummy (pacifier = what babies suck)

Stealing inheritance

The United States of America stole huge tracts of land from native peoples, forcibly displacing many communities. People were aggressively assimilated or exterminated by mandatory reeducation and military force. 

Systematic efforts to uproot indigenous inheritance continue today, promoted by American industry via corrupt political & legal systems. 

WE Pay for this Outrage; continuing over 400 years we've provided, hired, and paid for the soldiers & muscle, the walls, writs, whips and whitewash. How can just a few rich families claim the pie, leaving crumbs for the rest of us?

2019 Ghetto Bowl

SCANDAL: American football is focus for concerns & protest over racist attacks in America. 

Racist brutality was peacefully highlighted by Colin Kaepernick and Black Lives Matter, contrasted with blackballing and hostility among smugly wealthy NFL club owners in bed with the US military.

So it is beyond simply insensitive when the US Super Bowl presents a hated Ghetto life stereotype front and center: the large fancy pimp-mobile with fur-coated rapper Big Boi.  

Black Lives Matter? The NFL displayed the scary black Devil stereotype !  Football's fat owners Suck

Pro-vocative! Dis irony?

 

Alienating Britain

Abandoning efforts to create a better Europe, the Brexit Brigade alienates non-British allies. Outright lies and exaggeration cloud the minds of the British public. They're convinced the EU wants to manipulate negotiations, somehow forcing Britain to remain under EU influence. 

But British antagonism toward Europe alongside perceived British arrogance lead many Europeans to feel:
Be Gone -- Good riddance.
Fuck Off.

Militarist capitalism FAILED

In my opinion, we can humanize our enemies, and confront the true enemy of communities: militarism. 

I'm not suggesting working people in military service are bad - it's a tough & dangerous job. 

But after criminal operations such as the Vietnam War we should have imprisoned 1000 planners & politicians... same for America's ongoing genocidal war on the "redskin" and Hawai'i's occupation. How could slave traders & slave owners escape paying compensation? 

Militarist capitalism has failed. Architects of chauvinist America should be held accountable for crimes.
