About the Good vs evil thing.
Somewhere along the line, "good" and "evil" became identified with religious dogma. As a devout agnostic, I believe that good and evil exist outside of the parameters of religion.
Any sane, rational person looking at America today, would find it hard to reject the obvious conclusion that evil is currently in control of almost all the levers of power. And that evil, -- Trump, the Republican Party, and bigots and haters everywhere, -- are using their power to destroy virtually everything that most of us believed to be a just country (with many flaws).
IMO, most of white America stands with black America that is now protesting the 400 years of oppression that never ended and continues to this very moment. And it's my opinion that they will soon be joined by all Americans that know that something has gone radically wrong with our country. We are "owned" by a minority of super-wealthy people who don't give a damn about rules, decency, the constitution, or anything else except for their personal wealth, power, and control over the rest of us.
Those fires in Minneapolis are terrifying the ruling class because they see it as a threat to their rule. And make no mistake about it. They will retaliate.
But whatever they do to hold onto their domination of the rest of us. they're days are numbered. We've watched them give themselves trillions in tax breaks while fucking everyone else in need during this pandemic. And as painful as it is to say this, perhaps this pandemic is a blessing in disguise. Perhaps all those who have lost their jobs, who can't get unemployment insurance that they paid for, who don't know what comes next in their lives, will finally catch on that the powers that be don't care whether they live or die.
This period is more than just about an election. It's perhaps an era in which we can finally defeat those seeking to overthrow Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, civil rights, voting rights. and so much more. Perhaps we have hit a point where we can overthrow the evil that has taken over America. And perhaps we can bury their ideology once and for all.
