Tell your family to stay in the house. If the virus don't get them, their neighbors will.

The violence between working-class people has a curve of contagion, just like Covid-19.


"Shootings in New York City continue to climb. Fifteen people were shot in 15 hours over this past weekend, from Rockaway to the Bronx. A baby was among four people shot at a cookout in Brooklyn on Sunday night; he died from his wounds. The last month has seen a striking rise in shootings and homicides. Over the year to date, murders are up 27 percent over the first half of 2019; over the last four weeks, more than 300 people have been shot in New York City, up from 100 during the same period last year."


Everyone in the world will have a shitty opinion as to the root cause of that violence.

It only takes one serious issue to show us the hyperreality of the USA.

The objective consequence within this scope are the deaths.

Death is the objective reality that subjective conjecture will claim to explain.

How many opinions do you think you'll see attempting to explain violence between working-class people?


Well, I'll give you mine. Violence can only survive in the absence of compassion. Somehow our much celebrated technological society can't bring compassion to its people. The USA sucks at that.


We have two related systemic disasters going on, while our ongoing systemic violence between working-class people came with the emergence of our violent state. American working-class people only ever learned how to divide each other. It took me a while to figure-out the nature of the crazy culture into which I was thrust by fate.

When I look at that 'white' on my drivers ID, I see the command: "Here is your designated place in our manufactured system of violence".

You don't give me the 'white' designation to be anti-racist. That designation has a modal position, meaning just the existence of the designation provides the system of oppression.

An individual doesn't get to define what 'white' means, the propagandized common denominator does.

Racism is the intrinsic divide that normalizes the working-class perception that division, dominance, and submission are the natural ways of the world.


Every country that has extreme wealth inequality has extreme violence. The root of murders in neighborhoods is people transgressing each others dignity.


You have a body and I have a body. Our minds are part of our bodies.

A mind/psyche is a part of the body that evolved to protect the body.

It's what we use to communicate with each other, but its ultimate function is to protect the body for all animals. We are just the animal that collectively coordinates protecting our bodies.

Any attack on the body attacks the mind. The pandemic attacks our bodies and minds.

That attack by nature on human bodies exacerbates the psychological stress of racism and wealth-inequality.

The virus attacks our bodies while the system attacks our dignity.


Systemic attacks on the working-class creates a curve as we enumerate events. The longer curve is that of violence between working-class people, and the shorter curve is Covid-19.


What you hear in the news about violence is what you don't hear about racism and wealth-inequality being root causes of violence in the USA.

This phenomenon also reflects the credulity and incompetence of our people who believe the lies of 'meritocracy' and 'individualism' in the face of a systemic violence that is sustained by our own existence in a state of ignorance.

Only if this organism has a true understanding of its environment can it act in the proper way against that environment.


The problem is systemic and moral.

Only truth serves justice, and if our people don't know the truth, they kill each other, instead of act against our common enemy.


Now we have two curves to watch.
