I cut my teeth in left circles doing illegalist social work in a couple parts of northern california 15 or so years ago. Every experienced person who worked with unhoused populations knew theres a certain kind of people who get made victims at a shocking rate. Those really deranged out-there people usually with severe addictions who nobody would believe often had stories about police kidnapping them and holding them in foreclosures to torture them for a while, often with injuries to match. Everybody knew about the chicago pd making it formal with homan square and the various shit they get up to. Every department does it in their own way.
Earlier this year i had to spend some time in los angeles without much to do. I decided to get a feel for the streets. I noticed three in one long day of layover, wandering the city. One eye and two fingers, taken relatively clean and cauterized. Each on a different person. Three in one day, just wandering around. Just me. None of them commented. All the injuries looked within the past couple days, still black on the edges. The one I asked looked scared, tried to talk about anything else. I didnt even have to wonder where they came from.
Half of every municipal budget funds this. I don’t know what percentage of the fed budget goes to funding the exploding of schools, international torture prisons, and the suppression of renewable energy along with other fossil fuel subsidies.
So what about that is fixable? The way they manage natural resources? Their vibrant healthy cultural practices? Their intellectual tradition? American cuisine? Their beautiful and unique architecture? You want to save america, what the fuck are you saving? Apple pie? The dutch do it better. Jazz? The best jazz musicians havent been from here since 1991; the soviet union still existed.
The land; that stuff that votes? I guess thats pretty cool. Got some good nature left, but clock’s ticking on all that.
Fuck america. Any dozen randon people who aren’t wholly owned could make something better.
