 · A government that has criminally mishandled a pandemic it has allowed to kill 400,000 of us (and counting)
 · Completely inadequate health care that few can really afford
 · A rigged electoral system
 · Police repression unevenly targeting people of color
 · A bailout of the rich and powerful and a middle finger to the working class, unemployed, and uninsured during a crisis that has record numbers of us unemployed and plagued by inescapable debt
 · Inadequate wages that have most of us up to our ears in hock
 · Unaffordable education along with overwhelming student debt
 · Unpayable rents coming due
 · The maintenance of a military system that spends more than $2 billion each day, while increasing numbers of Americans are sleeping in the streets and under bridges
 · An embarrassing infrastructure that is falling apart before our eyes making our cities, transportation systems, breadlines and beggars on the street look like Brazil used to look.
 · Government inaction about climate change and immigration
Again: all of that (and more) represents structural violence. It causes untold suffering and kills people every day. However, it has been such a part of our daily lives that few of us even recognize it as deadly, criminal and even homicidal.
And if someone is trying to kill you, anyone has the right to self-defense.
