All Lives Matter is divisive racism?
“Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance.” ― Albert Maysles The framing of the name of the movement, and it’s insistence to speak to every single racist issue that has ever been an issue, from 1776 to 2020, makes it easy to dismiss the issue of police brutality altogether. And so black bodies, white bodies, latino and all other types of bodies continue to pile up, while the political movement claiming to work toward that end, continuously fails to force the people in power to wrestle with the issue. BLM continues to make it easy to deflect it by the obvious favoritism it pays to one marginalized community in the sea of hundreds of marginalized communities, ones that don’t have a twitter hashtag to unite around.

Compassionate Capitalism
In the United States, we already allow children to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to pursue a higher education, a college degree. Nobody argues with the idea that this is necessary in order to give them the opportunity to change their lives. And in recompense, these dollars they borrow will never leave their credit report. These dollars are thus spent on that individual, for that individual, in hopes of achieving something that may never come to fruition, and the debt follows them for the rest of their life regardless if they succeed or not. The average graduation rate in four year colleges is 33.3%. So two-thirds of Americans go into college, waste thousands and thousands of dollars they don’t have, and get sent back into the world, no better than they started, and the colleges pocket the money and keep churning out degrees that have less and less value in the real world.
