It's Going Down is a nice summary of the fun things happening in USA currently.
The first part I found about is the prisoner strikes that started the 9th. Prisoners protest against prisoner slavery which is exploited by companies like AT&T, Starbuck's, McDonald's, UPS, Nike, or even Nintendo. The 13th amendment prohibits slavery... except for prisoners. For the capitalist system, it's a perfect opportunity to get nearly-free or free labor. There are also protests against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, with protesters locking themselves to the construction machines and such. It's related here among other places, and it's said that Facebook censored the livestream of the event. The DAPL would threaten water quality and more generally the ecosystem. And other fun things. Basically, several protests (anti-slavery, anti-racism, ecology, etc) converge towards the same enemy: the capitalist system. It may look like marginals causing trouble for attention, because a lot of those moves are anarchist, and they seem to get little attention from mainstream media. But there's potential for change. I'm not for outright anarchy, but the protests there are definitely legitimate. It's going to be a fun ride. ____________________ Kuribo64 -- NSMB2 hacking and other crap |
