A topic that I’ve posted about over the years is the deliberate destruction of public schools, especially since the covid onslaught. I know I’ve blogged about it here too. I am just so disgusted with all of it. I feel the anger in my throat and I want to spit it out on every offender, accomplice, and enabler. With regard to the sexual abuse angle being magnified in the media, which is another method of attack that republican lawmakers use to privatize everything to hell, I was shocked to find out how correct I have been about the uptick I’ve seen in the media in these last few years – in 2022 alone, 349 public school educators were arrested for sex crimes against children.

I was thinking about this once again this morning and without going too far down memory lane, I was able to recall five teachers in my school who groomed and preyed on students in my class and maybe one or two grades above and below mine. I had heard rumors of a few more, but I didn’t have direct knowledge of their alleged misdeeds. To help put this into perspective, my graduating class consisted of fewer than forty students.

So when I saw that Macklemore is reported to have offered some support for Palestinians, I was pleasantly surprised. It is a very dire time and I am not making light of that, it’s just, what does it mean? And more than that, correctly label zionism as white supremacism. It absolutely is to everyone who has done the minimal amount of reading. Thoroughly. It’s not serving anything else.

Everyone should fight for Palestinians, why would Macklemore be any different than anyone else? We’re all Palestinians and that’s not contra jooz as these fucking freaks have it — from all sides. I don’t think anyone was asking for Macklemore to do anything but he has. Pitifully late for someone with what I would think is household brand/name recognition, but he did as so few are willing to do, and in any case it has to stop, and it has not stopped.

Superficially(?) I felt bad for a split second thinking, had I let a racialized prejudice prevent me from appreciating Macklemore’s body of work previously? Yeah I don’t think I did after having a brief refresher but it seems like a valid question, doesn’t it? The “representation” of what this might mean is distorted and ridiculous by design because the creation and now destruction of white nationhood achieved through the New Deal is motherfucking toxic. By all accounts, Macklemore has capitalized on this with his certain sort of white-trash-trailer-park-trash face. I don’t know that anyone really asked for that but for Ivy leaguers, right?

But we are living through it, and we’re not just talking vibes here. Its massive importance to figuring all these present schemes Sachs is out there grinning to has reached its “best by” date. Ideologically, it’s very scary.

Whiteness in the strictly economic sense is gone but the results – a massive shitshow full of useless bullshit that’s just fucking rotting in many cases – are all around us, with many whites living in squalor and poverty never having any direct benefit from such policies that favored whiteness as a racial category. Maybe not even their granpappies did but it helped them navigate in some way. In a privileged sense? I don’t know? In a very granular way, then yes, probably more so. And therein lies danger to oneself and others in need of understanding.

I’m not a person easily intimidated by strangers, but there are some who have that “good ol boys never meaning no harm who surely done have at least six unmarked graves in their backyards and wouldn’t you know none of the local laaawh men thought to ask” presence to them in certain key areas of the yoonited states that is felt on a certain level. One learns to sense that acutely and to not suffer it in any way, to not just get by, but to live with yourself. To go to sleep at night. There is a certain fucking hatred so vile and wrong these motherfuckers can have that does not afford them the benefit of the doubt. The failure, the decay? the defeat of white supremacism as practice is expected to bring spectacular backlash to seize on, for really weird people. All things being equal? It’s over before it began. How do these guys know they wouldn’t be chewed up? They’re afraid of penises under dresses.

I feel like I need that cicada energy, that raw summer wisdom and experience to soak in.

PPS – I’m sorry, what benefit would she think she could have with these freaks? She lived at higher risk to familial violence than most people on earth I would think. Trust the science for real on that one.

But really everyone is entitled to know, so what the fuck
