that was the greatest achievement of the anarchist contingent, as the government seems to have melted away, not just for Chaz but in all of Seattle. Indeed, they are witnessing what Frederick Engels once foretold as the goal of marxism. He said, "The state is not abolished, it withers away."

The support from Durkan for their "desire to build a better world" ignores the fact that she was elected to govern the entire city. Withdrawing police and acquiescing to mob control of the area is antithetical to the most basic concepts of governance.

SUICIDE

Quote:

While men are more likely to die by suicide, women are more likely to make an attempt, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. That gap may be narrowing, though: From 1999 to 2017, the suicide rate rose 53% among women, compared with 26% among men.
It may be true that attempted suicides are a more meaningful gauge of human suffering than successful suicides.


Sometimes I wonder where black people find the perseverance to keep carrying on. Could it be that it’s harder to create the space to kill yourself in prison? Is there a grey area between homicide and suicide kind of like accidental and intentional drug overdoses? Like a parallel between taking too many pills and risking death by dealing with people who are likely to kill you aggressively in the sense of being nonchalent with death? I’m not trying to blame the victim or make false equivalencies. I’m just wondering why white people are more likely to call it quits. Maybe it’s simply because white people expect more at the get-go. If it’s cultural what is exactly about the cultures. Religion? Family? Free time? Ozzy?

mental fortitude
Anecdotally I think I’ve witnesed this. This one black guy I’m friends with worked at a Jiffy Lube type place where the gave him five uniforms for the week and the weekend to wash them. He quit and didn’t return them and spent eight months in jail for theft. After he got out he became a cook and kept working hard af. Put it behind him.

That definitely would’ve broken my spirit.

Woman screaming n-word at other white people is obviously a distraction so we don’t notice the black truck sleeking pass in the background.

Keep your eyes on ball people!

I really really really like this guy. He looks, talks, and acts like exactly the kind of guy who'd be pushing Trump but is in fact leftist as **** and has a very good head on his shoulders.
