Because, at the end of the day, the truth is being looted.

Many Americans don't see Oceania in America. They have been told to worry about what those protesters want to take away from them ! They who worked so hard for generations! We are being robbed by those "looters." Sowing division makes it so much easier for the sons and daughters still hard at work to vaporize the inconvenient reality of white violence.

Those with nothing will take everything from me!

Fox News is the altar on which the high priest, Trump, disseminates to sons and daughters the greatness of memory holes. Memory holes, then, is the god that is feed daily human beings to the point of sheer absurdity.

Vaporize, vaporize, vaporize.

We who protests are hearing the echo of generations of sheep behaving, as Winston notes in 1984 , with "paralyzing stupidity" and "imbecile enthusiasm."


I, a little like Winston, sat giving the time of day to people for whom America is white and always has been white when I should have gathered by laptop and backpack and left the sunroom because embracing this brand of ignorance isn't an option. Truth is at stake. Climate is changing and global warming is melting to glaciers. The oceans are rising. The temperatures are rising.

The photo shops do a good job!

And so do the Winstons who see the memory hole coming for them but just keep on stepping on the neck of truth.

But, in the end, embracing the real looters, isn't an option. The real looters are losing their foothold on reality.
