America is Lost: Part 1

I can recall, the age-old saying, ‘those who disregard history, are bound to repeat it.’ This, I believe is a true fact, these cyclical phenomenas can be seen throughout history, with leaders who fall to the same mistakes as their predecessors, leading their nations, empires, or states, etc. into the same mash of bullshit that had occurred years before — and it happens again and again, though these events all wear a different face, they’re set by the same spine.

When George Floyd was ironically taken of his breath, back in May of this year, the events thereafter were seen as a tumultuous time for the country, and people began pointing fingers from the riots that took place thereafter. Criticism towards the BLM movement and Antifa were also met with the onset of White-Nationalist counter protests who claim to be protecting “their” country from home-grown terrorists, which is a bunch of nonsense given that most of all domestic terrorist attacks were delivered by caucasian males whose insecurities got the best of them.

The riots, were necessary — it has been too long of a wait for American minorities to be heard, as they’ve done it peacefully for so many decades, yet they’ve always been discounted from any positive change that would be brought to their communities. And it is not their fault, that all of this is happening; years and years of being put down have embroiled a certain anger that only they can feel and expend, not white people.

It is completely inappropriate for the Caucasian masses to exclude those from participating in (changing) their broken system, and better yet a system which also affects the poverty deranged white people of this nation. Which they defend? For what purpose? To enrich themselves, where truly it is Wall Street mega-corporations and individuals of past wealth to reap evermore from it. If anything, Caucasian people in America should be backing the many movements pressing against the incompetence of the American system. But even so, the issue remains with nationalism — a house divided cannot stand.

What brought the world to it’s first foremost international war was this same plight of thought. People who desired their state or ethnicity to be on top, tended to never see the promises made to them by those who lead them. Such situations brought a worsened robustness, and quite frankly, believing that one race is superior goes against all interpretations made for creating stronger genes anyways; those sticking to the servitude of their race are only damaging it in the end, not prolonging it.

Minorities in America are soon to pass into the majority, and already are if we count those of whom who are working either on visas, or without documentation. The America that is so desired, full of prosperity, can only come to fruition through the cooperation of peoples and forgetting the pettiness of racial tensions. It doesn’t fucking help and it doesn’t create positive change.

Of course it is not easy, just to say,”get along.” But for the sake of the future of a country already pestered by such ambiguities, it is in it’s best interest to act together as a collectivist community, instead of the romanticism of the individualist — by creating referendums, instating new laws and systems; specifically within the subjects of the branches of government, the justice department, taxation, and the focus of our tax-payer dollars working towards universal social benefits that would allow U.S. citizens to encounter a more unified and prosperous America, as promised in it’s poetics.
