I follow a couple of right wing twitter feeds that follow and tweet on BLM protests and let me tell you, things are worse then you can imagine. If you get your news on white supremacy in the US from the NYT and a few liberal twitter accounts, you're living in a dream world.

They're trying to tag and identify people at the protest and they're sharing footage and pics of Black protestors with each other, with lawyers, and with law enforcement. The racist commentary accompanying the tweets is vicious, but somehow ancillary.

I'm sure much of this isn't new to many folks on here but seeing some of this shit first hand you realize how organized, thorough, systematic, and prepared these fuckers are. And where are we?

Of course, it helps that they have the backing of the state and the complicity of the "opposition" party.

And the celebratory self-promotional mess that is "intellectual" twitter really isn't helping at this point.

I mean, fuck, here we are: a fascist in the white house presiding over a hyper-militarized police state, patriot goons in and out of uniform running the streets, a dead-beat opposition whose only aim is state power, and corporate tech monopolies controlling our genes and souls

oh yeah: covid-19
