True that. In fact, it appears the revolution will consist of localized outbreaks and rebellions rather than one united front. Makes me wonder if much of the urban violence of the last 20 years is actually little more than the beginning of major social upheaval, paraded across the television screen generically as “thug crime” for the public to fear when really it’s the cops and government officials who have something to fear. Not us.
I fully expect the news coverage to be limited, just as it is now. Case in point: the Republican National Convention in 2008. Violence occurred, much of which was instigated by police, yet media coverage was scarce outside of Democracy Now. They’ll keep rolling out the advertisements and many of us will never know the truth of what’s being fought out of our sight, rendered publicly out of mind thanks to media compliance that no longer serves the people.
