The public school system in USA is being dismantled. The goal which the state has for a significant amount of the population is incarceration—and I’m sorry to say that in my state private prisons are one of the fastest growing industries. The easiest way to manage people and make maximum profit is privatization and consolidation of wealth. The people, or citizens, are on their own thanks to neoliberal economic policies which reduce security and increase precarity. Structural violence preys upon those without capital for supply and resources. This kind of event is a symptom of a society which withdraws sovereignty from individuals while paradoxically signifying capital-distributing businesses as private individuals.
I am also sorry to say that this system will not rest until it has colonized and consumed every other culture on Earth. USA is coming your way, by definition. And yet…
And yet… somehow, in refusal, the individual exists. You are allowed to name what you see. Rubbish. Garbage. The spectacle. Evil. And limitless iterations.
Yet you cannot refuse the good. You cannot erase it. You see the births. You see the growth. You cannot deny the existence of change. You cannot disavow the temporality of existence. Your agency is limited, yet even within those limits, you can carve out your perspective. And see those around you who negate those very things you signify as rubbish, garbage, the spectacle, evil. There is at least one person you know that negates those concepts. This is the thread. The thread of connection. Which provides hope.
