  On May 9, 2021 a sergeant with the University City, Missouri Police Dept. detained and demanded the identification of a man after receiving a middle-finger salute. Sgt. Larry Becton approached the man and accused him of "aimlessly walking around" and insisted that he provide ID. "Do you live over here," Becton asked. "It's not an option. Right now you're being detained ... for suspicious activity," the officer said. "I will take you to the station and get your ID," Becton repeated. The suspect, who asked to remain anonymous, asked,  "Is this because I flicked you off?" As Becton demanded the man stand up, presenting his handcuffs, said, "I'm going to put you in handcuffs right now. Go ahead and resist if you want to."

We live in a caste society

We live in a global caste system. An aristocracy wrapped in corporate fascism. No matter from whence it's derived, once the malignant advantaged class gets hold of a little special privilege, it locks it away in walled gardens and offers it up in small measures for temporary lease to the lesser classes in consideration for disfavored labor at a disparitive rate. Currency is a human-invented device to horde privilege to the exclusion of others. Parasitic taxes, fees and surcharges are devices to ensure wealth always leeches back to the privileged. Wealth is a function of production. Full stop. As you produce goods and provide material services in fair measure for the good of society, you earn your keep. If a man dutifully and faithfully dedicates and pledges his working years to the betterment of society, he has earned a lifetime of privilege. The man who digs wells and builds homes does so in service to the community so he and others may drink and have shelter. The man who treats s...
