A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Sick world of alienation and lack of compassion and empathy we inhabit. All driven, not hyperbolically either, by the commodification of our interpersonal relationships and the brutal, merciless grinder of capitalism under which we all are churned up in one way or another for profit.

Why didn’t anyone in that train speak up, “yo, he’s going to die if you don’t stop choking him; does this person deserve to die because he’s having a mental breakdown?”
It would have totally changed the feeling in the subway car: from thinking of the person being choked as a disturber of the peace inconveniencing and perhaps possibly scaring a few people, to acknowledging a human being with mental health problems having a bad day but basically not going to do any real harm to anybody.
Just one person speaking up could have engendered the requisite compassion and empathy that that situation needed.
And that poor guy, who was a Michael Jackson impersonator with mental health issues, would be alive today and (hopefully) getting treatment, while at the same time the crowd could have shamed and stopped the vigilante asshole ex-Marine for wanting to act out his fascist fantasy.

If they’re honest, which of course is asking too much, they just wanna “get home at night.” And if that means becoming trigger-happy and suspecting all brown and black people of being criminals because of their skin color, well, he knows his union will cover him and he’ll still have job. Literal license to murder, without consequences .
Policing must be completely overhauled, with an eye toward abolition.
They literally don’t do much at all that is good. And what they do do can be taken up by a whole hose of unarmed agencies, from mental health experts to marriage counselors to mediators. Traffics personnel can write tickets, etc. The armed ones should be utterly reduced in number, confined to their precincts and only called upon for deadly emergencies (of which there are proportionately so few).

And Jordan Neely was not killed because people love phones. He was killed because he did not rise to the level of "human" to the people on that subway car -- unhoused, Black, mentally ill: enough to remove him from the category of human and keep anyone from lifting a finger while he was murdered. Phones are a symptom, not a cause. Racism -- the strategy of capitalism -- is what dehumanizes us one from another to the extent that any atrocity, it seems, can be committed, and we let it happen as long as it happens to that degraded Other.

Troubling times can only be won with each & everyone of us joining, building, creating healthy communities, learning & unlearning as we go along…a loving resistance. Using our phones to connect NOT to be weak @ss clowns who participate in dehumanization & violence instead of intervention.
Thank you Trouble, Zinn, & Handy for your words & spirit. I have too much to say while feeling so much & yet no words.

We’ve been conditioned in a billion ways to having fealty to police. There’s a sanctification of authority, military and cops, that is so deep in our culture (movies, tv, sports, etc) that it’s gonna take a long time to purge. But it must be purged.
We don’t need police, not in their present form, *at all*.
In their defense I will suggest that they are asked to do too much. Completely change their responsibilities, so that they’re not required to respond to all of the above -mentioned, and we’ll have a far better world.
As it is now it’s a festering toxic stew of abuse, menace, apathy, fear and brutality.

There’s another aspect that I’m interested in.
It has to do with the fealty to the state we have, or more precisely the lack of thinking for ourselves as compassionate human beings willing to do the right thing, even when the chips are down. I’m not saying to intervene like a karate hero; I am saying that at least you can change the atmosphere with a few words.
I think societally in America we’ve been groomed to be like stunted children who do as their told, and absolutely never, ever ruffle any feathers. That we often can’t imagine even acting in accordance with what is right, damn “the law” or what the mob is doing.
Even in the most innocuous ways. Yesterday I was at the public library and offered to carry in some boxes for an event some folks were having. The woman leading it declined, who was holding two big boxes herself and was probably my age, my offer to help , because I “might get hurt.” The implication was the litigation that we all live in fear of.
What a fucking backward, crippled society, contorted out of the most basic of human relations, that have existed since time immemorial. Whether it’s simply helping, or rescuing food from a corporate buffet or supermarket that because of “the law” it feels it has to throw out in the garbage. How warped have we become?
Yes, Corporate media either ridicules (RW) or ignores (mainstream liberal) the realities of the poor. And this is what we get: fearful little tough guys, living out their vigilante fantasies of killing the expendable poor and black who just might threaten their bourgeois consciousness that they indeed bear some responsibility for the condition of these folks (“I don’t want my taxes paying for *those people*”).
Folks, it’s going be up to us, you and me and everybody else, for it the human race will live in peace and harmony, by dignifying every living person with the bare minimum of decent housing, food, healthcare and social programs in an economy built to do so.

Prior sensibilities wax with waning efficacy.
The space of experience gives course for cosmic body drives.
Conversions on inversions of process.
Internal externality. Externality internalized.
Awareness makes no decisions.
Safety Mountain peaks under the sea.
Cephalopods play in rings round the summit.

Thanks for bringing on Josh from Interference Archives. Of the many great programs I’ve attended there over the years one of my fave was the one on the history of and how to make your own low-wattage community radio. Such cool stuff there always.
Now then, who’s gonna suggest the first WFMU anti-capitalist Troublemakers meetup? Seriously, can we get something happening?

What’s the best way to organize such a meetup? You all have more experience than I in this. Via email?
Depending on the size we could even think about doing it at Interference Archives in Brooklyn; if bigger one of the many great public parks in NYC (was gonna say the Bohemian Hall, but not interested in playing $8 a pint or listening to the garbage music there). If it’s in a park I’ll pack some good austerity-priced beer cans from an Eastern European shop in Astoria.
