"
A civilization which leaves so large a number of its participants unsatisfied and drives them into revolt neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence." — Sigmund Freud
As expected this past election has failed to make a significant change in the lives of its country's citizens. The current administration has even called for increased federal spending toward police. Nothing has changed and we continue to witness the same state backed murder followed by the same excuses and false promises that originally drove last year's demonstrations. The hypocrisy doesn't stop there. There's apparently talk of officials worried of a repeat of unrest due to the murder of Daunte Wright. Indeed, they should be worried—the damage has been done, they've started a fire and the world will watch as we burn with anger.
