"We got to face some facts. That the masses are poor ... I'm talking about the white masses, the black masses, the brown masses, the yellow masses. Some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. You don't fight racism with racism..." Fred Hampton

Fred Hampton Cause of Death: gunshot, point-blank range, age 21, "Given revelations about the illegal COINTELPRO program and documents associated with the killings, scholars now widely consider Hampton's death an assassination under the FBI's initiative" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton

I'd be lying if I said I didn't agree with him. I just know (or strongly feel?) this won't work in our world no matter how much we try :( We've already been too brainwashed, and they're creating more "groups" (from boomers 2 zoomers, christian 2 muslim, black 2 white), everyday for people to point their fingers at distracting the poor masses from the real problem.

We should come together, but we can never do that if we never realize what the true problem is. And if people continue believing what they're told, they're never going to break-free from the illusion and genuinely come together. Socialism, it really does sound so nice and altruistic, but it only takes a few selfish people to fuck it up for a nation.
