We are all surplus population. The people who own the world, "the Owners" as George Carlin put it so well, don't need "us" anymore.

Juarez is the future.
Jack Crow pretty much nails it.
"Let's beat this fucking horse corpse to glue already: our earthly masters won't cut the war and police budgets because they need a corps of men with a proven ability to ignore their own humanity, who are receptive to belief systems which allow them to kill on command, and who have developed the capacity to harm others and justify it according to prevailing mythologies.
They need sanctioned killers because we are no longer essential but haven't the decency to just fucking die already. They need armed staffers because they don't need our mouths or our superfluous flesh and extraneous labor.
We aren't necessary anymore.
We aren't necessary anymore.
We aren't necessary anymore.
The last six generations of our labor have allowed them to construct a production, exchange and distribution system which will enable them to liberate themselves from our hungering stomachs, unskilled labor, the legions of urban poor and any lingering moral obligation to remedy the suffering of a burgeoning population of waste peoples.
This is war. It's war. It's a goddamned fucking war.
We have always had this war.
It's only now that they can really win it.
Please, please understand that if we fail to respond collectively, and soon, they will hand manage our annihilation. Or let the collapse of entire ecosystems do it for them.
They aren't dealing with the material and environmental consequences of the expanding capitalist closed system because they don't have to. We are the price they are willing to pay to negotiate their survival of their own onslaught against nature and humanity.
We are the bride price. We are the fucking dowry.
And they are going to pay it.
I swear to you, they'll fucking do it.
So what are we going to gods-be-damned do about that?
Some fucking protest theater? Some electioneering? Maybe a vote recall or a puppet parade? Pose for the police portrait takers? Beg for time on the teevee?
Or are we going to wake up before it's too late and treat our mortal enemies in a manner befitting...
...mortal fucking enemies?
Because they will triage the lot of us. And worse.
They really fucking will."
