BLM did not file lawsuits. They did not put together a lawsuit with dozens of states and hundreds of reps signing it. BLM did not piece together a case of rational arguments citing case precedents, show injury, or hell use facts, reason and copious amounts of statistics to prove their position. BLM did not get hundreds if not thousands of people to sign affidavits and present their side in public hearings with their state legislatures.
They went out and fucked shit up, and the result is they got billions of dollars from corporations and politicians to kneel before them and placate their every whim.
Lesson learned.
The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally.
Get angry.
The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here—it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide out from under with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them.
Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way you stand a far better chance of being taken seriously next time.
Of being considered dangerous. > And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous, marks the difference—the only difference in their eyes—between players and little people.
Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate.
And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life, and that it’s nothing personal.
Well, fuck them. Make it personal.
