>>> BEWARE THE POWER OF TRIBE.
WE HUMAN BEINGS HAVE A FLAW
THATS EASILY EXPLOITED BY THOSE
WHO ARE WILLING TO HURT PEOPLE
TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES.
ITS OUR TENDENCY TO SORT
OURSELVES INTO TRIBES.
IN GERMANY, ADOLPH HITLER AND
THE NAZIS CONVINCED CHRISTIAN
GERMANS THAT THEIR ECONOMIC
SUFFERING WAS CAUSED BY THE
RUNOFF FROM WORLD WAR I BUT BY
THEIR JEWISH FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBORS.
BY THE TIME THE WAR WAS OVER, 6
MILLION JEWS HAD BEEN
SYSTEMATICALLY FLORIDA.
IN RWANDA, CLASS DISTINCTIONS
WERE EXPLOITED BY THEIR BELGIAN
COLONIZERS TO TRY TO KILL EACH
OTHER OVER.
IN THE END, 800,000 MEN, WOMEN
AND CHILDREN WERE MASSACRED,
OFTEN BY PEOPLE THEY KNEW.
>>> IN OUR COUNTRY, THE ECONOMIC
AMBITIONS OF THE EUROPEAN MEN
WHO BROKE FROM THE BRITISH CROWN
LEFT MILLIONS OF BLACK AND
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE EITHER DEAD,
MASSACRED ON THEIR OWN LAND OR
ENSLAVED WHILE THE NEWLY MINTED
AMERICANS USED THEIR CHRISTIAN
FAITH TO JUSTIFY, KIDNAPPING,
BEATING, BREEDING, AND SELLING
BLACK ADULTS AND CHILDREN.
MALE SLAVE OWNERS FREELY RAPED
THE BLACK WOMEN, AND WITHOUT A
SECOND THOUGHT OFTEN SOLD THEIR
OWN RESULTING CHILDREN.
TRIBALISM MAKES MONSTERS OF MEN.
BEWEAR THE LEADER WHO EXPLOITS
IT TO SECURE HIS OWN POWER.
WE SEE VERY FEW IMAGES OF ACTUAL
BLACK LIVES PROTESTS OVER THE
POLICE SHOOTINGS AND KILLINGS OF
BLACK PEOPLE.
WE GET LOTS OF IMAGES OF THE
AFTERMATH OF THOSE PROTESTS.
POLICE CARS BURNING, LOOTING
ALMOST ALL AT NIGHT.
THE ASSUMPTION IS OFTEN MADE
THAT THESE TWO THINGS ARE ONE
THING, THE PROTESTS ARE FUELING
THE VIOLENCE.
THAT IS A LAZY ASSUMPTION, IN
ANY CONTROVERSIAL EVENT YOU SEE,
PARTICULARLY IN A POLITICAL
SEASON, ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF, WHO
BENEFITS?
IN THIS CASE, WHO BENEFITS, IF
LOTS OF WHITE VOTERS BELIEVE
THAT BLACK LIVES MATTER IS
THREATENING AND VIOLENT.
NO ONE MORE THAN DONALD TRUMP,
TRUMP IS LOSING TO JOE BIDEN
FULL STOP.
SO TO SNEAK BACK IN THROUGH THE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE, HE NEEDS TO
WIN BACK THOSE AMERICAN BREXIT
STATES THAT PUT HIM OVER THE TOP
IN 2016.
SO HIS FIXATION ON KENOSHA IS
RELEVANT.
OR HE NEEDS TO ADD A NEW STATE
TO HIS MAP.
HE POSTED SIX DOZEN TWEETS
HARPING ON FRINGE POLLS SHOWING
HIM WINNING MICHIGAN.
AND PRAISING HIS SUPPORTERS WHO
WERE SHOWING UP WITH AR-15s AT
PROTESTS IN PORTLAND, OREGON.
IF TRUMP WANTED TO END THE
VIOLENCE IN AMERICAN CITIES, HE
COULD GO ON HIS TWITTER FEED AND
TELL HIS SUPPORTERS TO GO HOME.
ITS A PERSONALITY CULT, THEY
WOULD DO WHATEVER HE SAYS.
THERES NO ANARCHIST GROUP ON
THE LEFT WHO LISTENS TO JOE
BIDEN.
THIS IS NOT A BOTH SIDES THING.
TRUMP IS OPENLY DOING THE
OPPOSITE, ENCOURAGING MORE
VIOLENCE.
AND COWING HIS PARTY INTO
REFUSING THE VIOLENCE.
WHILE HIS MEDIA FRIENDS LAUDE
THE KENOSHA SHOOTER.
THEY KNOW THATS TRUMPS ONLY
CHANCE OF WINNING, WITH 200,000
AMERICANS ESTIMATED DEAD BY THE
ELECTION DAY, AND THE POST
OFFICE AND THE ECONOMY IN
TATTERS.
ITS TO DRIVE THE CORONAVIRUS
OFF THE FRONT PAGE, ITS THE
BEST THEY CAN DO.
TRUMP PLANS TO GO TO KENOSHA
TOMORROW, NOT TO TRY TO CALM THE
CITY OR BRING COMFORT TO JACOB
BLAKES FAMILY OR THE FAMILIES
AS HE LIES PARALYZED IN THE
HOSPITAL OR TO JASON ROSENBAUM
OR ANTHONY HUBER, THE FAMILIES
OF THOSE TWO MEN WHO WERE KILLED
ALLEGEDLY BY THE TEENAGED TRUMP
SUPPORTER IN KENOSHA, HES GOING
TO MEET WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT,
AND BASED ON PAST BEHAVIOR, WE
CAN ASSUME TO HYPE UP HIS
FOLLOWERS EVEN MORE, MAYBE HELL
EVEN HOLD A COVID RALLY.
WE KNOW THAT WHITE SUPREMACIST
GROUPS ARE ORGANIZING ONLINE.
WHITE NATIONALISTS HAVE BEEN
ARRESTED FOR BREAKING WINDOWS,
STARTING FIRES AND SHOOTING AND
KILLING PEOPLE.
AND THEIR RANKS HAVE ONLY GROWN.
THEYVE GROWN 55% SINCE TRUMPS
FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE.
THE ARREST OF BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTESTERS HAVE BEEN MAINLY FOR
THINGS LIKE BREAKING CURFEW.
THERE IS NO BOTH SIDES HERE,
THIS IS NOT EVEN NEW IN AMERICA.
IN 1991, DAVID DUKE TOOK OFF HIS
KLAN ROBE AND RAN FOR
REPRESENTATIVE.
THANKFULLY HE LOST, BECAUSE
BLACK VOTERS CAME OUT IN DROVES.
BUT HE GOT 55% OF THE WHITE
VOTE.
DUKE WAS SO HYPED FOR TRUMPS
CAMPAIGN, HE BRAGGED THEY SHARE
THE SAME SUPPORTERS AND HE RAN
FOR THE SENATE AND LOST AGAIN.
PREYING ON WHITE VOTERS TRIBAL
LOYALTIES AND FEARS HAS BEEN
USED BY NIXON AND GEORGE
WALLACE.
IT WAS EVEN EVIDENT IN RONALD
REAGAN AND BILL CLINTONS
CAMPAIGNS.
IT WAS A CAMPAIGN TACTIC THAT
TENDS TO ACTUALLY WORK.
TRUMP IS JUST REUPPING THE
STRATEGY, JUST LIKE THE
ALT-RIGHT RECYCLED DAVID DUKES
KHAKI WHITE NATIONALISM BEFORE
THEY GOT EXPOSED IN
CHARLOTTESVILLE.
THIS IS A CAMPAIGN TACTIC,
YALL, HES PIMPING TRIBALISM
FOR VOTES.
BLACK LIVES MATTER IS NO THREAT
