The Root Cause of Our Current Epidemic of Violence
A few days ago, we learned the name Tyre Nichols, for unfortunate reasons. This was the 29-year-old black man brutally beaten and killed by five black police officers in Memphis, Tennessee. While most police altercations are nuanced and not clear cut, this was pretty obviously unjustified. Less than a week before that, there was a mass shooting carried out in Monterey Park, California by an elderly Asian-American man at a festival. These are just two of the most recent examples of horrific violence taking place in our country and our world on a regular basis.

Explaining How the George Floyd Uprising Was Quickly Forgotten. Top Story - January 2023.
I remember when I first heard about George Floyd's death. My partner had asked if I had heard about this new police shooting of a Black man, and I mistakenly thought he was referring to Tony McDade, a Black Trans man who was murdered two days later. I was confused by people suddenly caring about Floyd when I had already seen the videos that year of so many Black men and women killed by the police.

YOUR MASK IS YOUR RELIGION, NOT MINE
Personally, I’ve been criticized a lot for admitting that I’m a political Anarchist because most people believe that they need a government to keep them safe. Seriously? If that’s the best argument you’ve got, then you’d better try again. In the 20th Century, more people were killed by their government than they were by the luxuries of cancer or heart disease. It’s a little thing called democide, ever hear of it?

Let’s Cut The Political Crap And Do Something Productive
It’s difficult to watch the national news in the United States these days. Stories are repeated AD NAUSEAM for days in a row. We heard about the Pelosi attack over and over, even when nothing was new. We heard any lead story over and over. Do the news outlets believe we have no comprehension? It must be the case because there is no reason to repeat it over and over and over when nothing is new to report.
