U.S. on the road to a military coup →
towleroad.com
This isn’t actually the first thing we’ve heard about a potential military coup in the United States; aside from other rumblings among the right wing from the very beginning of Obama’s tenure, there is significant evidence that the Obama administration took the treat of a coup very seriously indeed.
People have wondered why rioting has not occurred in the United States as it has occurred in other European countries. What people tend to forget, however, is that however many poor there may be in the cities, the very poorest tend to be in rural, underdeveloped areas, with more affinity towards theocracy than socialism as a solution to their problems. To those who think the United States is more stable than these other countries, however, consider yourself warned.
Mitt Romney Says When Unions Donate Money It’s ‘A Form Of Corruption’ →

It’s only because they’re not corporations, and corporations are people. When corporations love each other very much, they can bundle their money and make SuperPACs of DOOM!
Of course, when the people band together to fight corporate influence and exploitation, that’s wrong. When their organization chooses to donate to a political cause or candidate, that’s corrupt. Yeah, totally makes sense.
People organizing = unpatriotic, corrupt union
Businesses organizing = US Chamber of Commerce.
The hypocrisy is blinding! AAAAARRRGHHHH!
“Schools have classes called “women’s studies,” and “African-American literature” because the standard for existence set by white men has yet to be rescinded in this age. “Normal” history is the history of a certain class of white people, from the perspective of men. All the other histories are precisely that: other.”

Cunt: A Declaration of Independence. (via ratsandcandy666)
I do feel that this has not really been addressed well, even by liberal and radical segments of the population. But it seems difficult to empower a group without setting it apart (?)
