0:01:22.788,0:01:25.266
Goooooooooood morning slaves

0:01:25.266,0:01:26.692
and welcome to another sedition of[br]

0:01:26.692,0:01:28.766
It's the End of the World as We Know it

0:01:28.766,0:01:30.881
and I Feel Fine, the show where

0:01:30.881,0:01:32.745
the pigs' failed attempts at PR

0:01:32.745,0:01:34.220
come back to haunt them.

0:01:34.220,0:01:37.956
Cuz you know when the cop lights bling

0:01:37.956,0:01:39.858
that can only mean one thing....

0:01:46.978,0:01:48.808
♫ I'm tryin to run you down

0:01:48.808,0:01:51.490
but we're running at the same speed honey.

0:01:51.590,0:01:53.693
I am your host the Stimulator, and

0:01:53.693,0:01:55.524
given the rampant levels of Islamophobia

0:01:55.524,0:01:57.231
and anti-immigrant hysteria

0:01:57.231,0:01:58.501
spreading across the west...

0:01:58.501,0:02:00.146
Enough is enough.

0:02:00.146,0:02:03.409
Let us reclaim our country.

0:02:03.409,0:02:05.117
Stop the mass immigration from

0:02:05.117,0:02:06.260
Islamic countries.

0:02:06.260,0:02:07.423
No more.

0:02:07.423,0:02:09.308
Fuck you, racist fuck!

0:02:09.308,0:02:10.768
it can be hard to believe that

0:02:10.768,0:02:12.883
just last summer, millions of peeps

0:02:12.883,0:02:14.549
around the world were watching

0:02:14.549,0:02:17.398
in mothafuckin awe, as tens of thousands

0:02:17.398,0:02:19.633
of refugees smashed through the walls

0:02:19.633,0:02:21.992
of fortress Europe, bravely fighting

0:02:21.992,0:02:23.857
their way past lines of riot cops

0:02:23.857,0:02:25.452
in Macedonia and Hungary

0:02:25.452,0:02:26.792
streaming across borders,

0:02:26.792,0:02:28.789
and eventually ending up in train stations

0:02:28.789,0:02:30.536
where they were welcomed by throngs

0:02:30.536,0:02:31.911
of cheering supporters,

0:02:31.911,0:02:33.300
like exhausted contestants on

0:02:33.300,0:02:35.704
the most brutal fucking game show ever.[br]

0:02:35.704,0:02:37.820
Tear Gas!

0:02:37.820,0:02:39.078
Tear gas?

0:02:39.938,0:02:42.501
Congratulations Donny and Jessica!

0:02:42.501,0:02:44.577
You are in the finals!

0:02:46.327,0:02:48.720
Buuuuuut that honeymoon didn't last long.

0:02:48.720,0:02:50.800
Bickering between different European

0:02:50.800,0:02:52.580
heads of state, combined with

0:02:52.580,0:02:54.123
popular fears of terrorism and

0:02:54.123,0:02:56.449
economic uncertainty, and an accompanying

0:02:56.449,0:02:58.689
rise in good ol'fashioned fascism,

0:02:58.689,0:03:00.764
have led to the re-militarization

0:03:00.764,0:03:02.632
of European borders, leaving

0:03:02.632,0:03:04.836
tens of thousands of migrants stranded

0:03:04.836,0:03:06.339
in squalid refugee camps and detention

0:03:06.339,0:03:09.228
centres in countries across Europe.[br]

0:03:09.228,0:03:12.157
In other words, shit is bleak as fuck.

0:03:12.157,0:03:14.028
And finally they said no way

0:03:14.028,0:03:16.188
to go through this border.

0:03:16.188,0:03:18.964
This make us feel so bad.... angry.

0:03:18.964,0:03:21.122
And shit got even bleaker on March 20th

0:03:21.122,0:03:22.773
when a new deal between Europe

0:03:22.773,0:03:24.273
and Turkey came into effect.

0:03:24.273,0:03:25.749
Under the terms of this agreement,

0:03:25.749,0:03:27.204
Europe has outsourced much of its

0:03:27.204,0:03:29.157
refugee detention, asylum processing,

0:03:29.157,0:03:31.722
and deportation services to Turkey

0:03:31.722,0:03:34.972
in exchange for a cool 3 billion Euros,

0:03:34.972,0:03:37.133
the resumption of negotiations aimed at

0:03:37.133,0:03:39.270
Turkey joining the EU, and

0:03:39.270,0:03:40.858
in a sick display of irony,

0:03:40.858,0:03:42.988
increased ease of movement for

0:03:42.988,0:03:44.538
Turkish citizens in Europe.

0:03:44.538,0:03:46.811
And while Turkey has assumed the role

0:03:46.811,0:03:48.301
of Europe's border guard,

0:03:48.301,0:03:50.060
Greece has been transformed into

0:03:50.060,0:03:51.534
a teeming detention camp.

0:03:51.534,0:03:53.591
Under the terms of the EU's agreement

0:03:53.591,0:03:55.639
with Turkey, and new legislation passed

0:03:55.639,0:03:57.958
by Greece's snivelling, back-stabbing

0:03:57.958,0:03:58.945
Syriza government,

0:03:58.945,0:04:01.173
so-called “irregular migrants” have to [br]

0:04:01.173,0:04:03.967
apply for asylum upon arrival in Greece,

0:04:03.967,0:04:06.292
or else face immediate deportation

0:04:06.292,0:04:08.811
back to Turkey, followed in most cases

0:04:08.811,0:04:10.874
by forced deportation back to

0:04:10.874,0:04:12.877
the very countries that they were fleeing

0:04:12.877,0:04:13.929
in the first place.

0:04:13.929,0:04:15.960
In our country is, right now, war.

0:04:15.960,0:04:17.710
We don't want to be over there.

0:04:17.710,0:04:20.489
For the sake of that very reason,

0:04:20.489,0:04:21.752
we've come here.

0:04:21.752,0:04:24.798
So if the government agrees to the decision

0:04:24.798,0:04:26.475
and sends us back to Turkey,

0:04:26.475,0:04:27.567
it's very bad for us.

0:04:27.567,0:04:28.994
The problem with this arrangement,

0:04:28.994,0:04:30.375
besides the fucking obvious, is that

0:04:30.375,0:04:32.814
the Greek state is in fucking shambles

0:04:32.814,0:04:34.808
and lacks the proper infrastructure

0:04:34.808,0:04:36.800
and support staff to process the thousands

0:04:36.800,0:04:38.944
of asylum applications,

0:04:38.944,0:04:40.537
provide interpretation services,

0:04:40.537,0:04:42.285
and adequately house people

0:04:42.285,0:04:43.871
while they’re being processed.

0:04:43.871,0:04:45.784
To make matters even fucking worse,

0:04:45.784,0:04:48.144
the over 50,000 migrants who

0:04:48.144,0:04:49.571
reached Greece before the agreement

0:04:49.571,0:04:51.109
with Turkey came into effect

0:04:51.109,0:04:52.982
are now trapped with nowhere to go,

0:04:52.982,0:04:54.809
with many stating they would rather

0:04:54.809,0:04:56.311
kill themselves than be

0:04:56.311,0:04:57.444
deported back to Turkey.[br]

0:04:57.444,0:04:58.950
If we were to go back to Bangladesh

0:04:58.950,0:05:00.297
we would die.

0:05:00.297,0:05:03.434
So if we die, we will die here.

0:05:03.434,0:05:04.774
You cannot go back to Bangladesh.

0:05:04.774,0:05:05.505
No way. No choice.

0:05:05.505,0:05:07.661
Back in February Macedonia sealed its

0:05:07.661,0:05:09.814
border with Greece, as part of an effort [br]

0:05:09.814,0:05:11.845
to close the so-called “Balkan Route”

0:05:11.845,0:05:13.098
to Northern Europe.

0:05:13.098,0:05:15.100
Since then, a sprawling encampment

0:05:15.100,0:05:16.731
in the Greek village of Idomeni,

0:05:16.731,0:05:18.727
which serves as temporary home to

0:05:18.727,0:05:20.831
over 12,000 trapped refugees,

0:05:20.831,0:05:22.792
has been the site of increased tensions

0:05:22.792,0:05:25.441
and repeated clashes with Greek riot pigs

0:05:25.441,0:05:26.905
and Macedonian border troops.

0:05:26.905,0:05:29.182
During one of these protests on April 18th

0:05:29.182,0:05:31.502
a 24 year old refugee was

0:05:31.502,0:05:33.253
critically injured after being run over

0:05:33.253,0:05:34.632
by a Greek police van.

0:05:34.632,0:05:36.583
This generalized clusterfuck has played

0:05:36.583,0:05:38.534
directly into the hands of Greek fascists,

0:05:38.534,0:05:40.690
with Golden Dawn supporters leading

0:05:40.690,0:05:42.401
marches and rallies in recent weeks, and

0:05:42.401,0:05:44.967
attacking anarchist-run refugee centres

0:05:44.967,0:05:47.004
on the islands of Lesbos and Chios.

0:05:47.004,0:05:48.669
Greek pigs have worked hand in glove

0:05:48.669,0:05:50.174
with their fascist buddies,

0:05:50.174,0:05:52.167
launching raids on these same centres,

0:05:52.167,0:05:53.753
detaining migrants and

0:05:53.753,0:05:55.094
their anarchist supporters alike.

0:05:55.094,0:05:57.081
Meanwhile, Austria has announced that

0:05:57.081,0:05:59.480
as of June 1st, they will be deploying

0:05:59.480,0:06:01.256
their army to the Brenner Pass,

0:06:01.256,0:06:03.747
an important border crossing with Italy,

0:06:03.747,0:06:05.539
the other main country of entry

0:06:05.539,0:06:07.269
for migrants arriving in Europe.[br]

0:06:07.269,0:06:09.524
Buuuuuuuut resistance to these proposed

0:06:09.524,0:06:10.992
border controls is growing.

0:06:10.992,0:06:13.641
On April 3rd, around 1000 activists

0:06:13.641,0:06:15.053
with No Borders Europe clashed with the

0:06:15.053,0:06:18.311
Austrian riot pigs, injuring at least two

0:06:18.311,0:06:20.441
with a similar scene playing out

0:06:20.441,0:06:22.068
three weeks later, on April 24th.

0:06:22.068,0:06:24.264
And across Italy, a movement called

0:06:24.264,0:06:26.423
#OverTheFortress has begun coordinating

0:06:26.423,0:06:29.050
local protests and solidarity actions.

0:06:29.050,0:06:31.014
As the poisonous fucking ideology

0:06:31.014,0:06:32.637
of fascism continues to spread

0:06:32.637,0:06:34.061
throughout Europe and beyond,

0:06:34.061,0:06:36.257
the stakes are incredibly fucking high.

0:06:36.257,0:06:38.207
And if anyone needed a reminder,

0:06:38.207,0:06:40.066
they got one on April 18th,

0:06:40.066,0:06:41.992
when yet another boat capsized

0:06:41.992,0:06:44.879
in the Aegean Sea, en route to Italy

0:06:44.879,0:06:47.760
killing over 400 refugees on board.

0:06:47.760,0:06:49.119
Fuck all borders.

0:06:49.119,0:06:51.109
And the states that defend them.[br]

0:06:52.575,0:06:54.615
♫ Sitting at a cubicle,

0:06:54.615,0:06:56.726
staring at a screen

0:06:56.726,0:06:59.574
playing with the lighter in the pocket

0:06:59.574,0:07:00.866
of my jeans....

0:07:00.866,0:07:10.184
Let's start a riot... let's start a riot.

0:07:10.184,0:07:11.771
I'm tired of trading hours

0:07:11.771,0:07:14.332
for so little in return.

0:07:14.332,0:07:16.572
Don't wanna take a sick day, man

0:07:16.572,0:07:18.647
I wanna watch it burn.

0:07:18.647,0:07:27.608
Let's start a riot.... let's start a riot.

0:07:27.608,0:07:30.769
I'm gonna get together with 100 of

0:07:30.769,0:07:36.227
my closest friends.

0:07:36.227,0:07:38.711
When a brick goes through the window,

0:07:38.711,0:07:45.328
there's no telling how the story ends.

0:07:45.328,0:07:47.371
Another wasted day that's filled

0:07:47.371,0:07:49.688
with meetings and reports.

0:07:49.688,0:07:51.476
Hey boss I'm leaving early....

0:07:51.476,0:07:53.146
there's some cars I wanna torch.

0:07:53.146,0:08:03.436
Let's start a riot..... let's start a riot.

0:08:03.436,0:08:09.597
Let's start a riot... let's start a riot.

0:08:10.816,0:08:12.166
Light it up!

0:08:13.376,0:08:15.636
The United Snakes has long been a nation

0:08:15.636,0:08:18.005
divided into bitterly opposed camps.

0:08:18.005,0:08:20.034
Springfield sucks!

0:08:20.034,0:08:22.836
Who you trying to get crazy with esse?

0:08:22.836,0:08:24.590
Don't you know I'm loco?

0:08:24.590,0:08:26.584
A so-called Melting Pot with carefully

0:08:26.584,0:08:28.936
manufactured rivalries overseen by

0:08:28.936,0:08:30.456
a heavily militarized state,

0:08:30.456,0:08:32.164
itself beholden to a powerful

0:08:32.164,0:08:33.479
corporate oligarchy.

0:08:34.059,0:08:35.733
From the cola wars waged between

0:08:35.733,0:08:36.910
Coke and Pepsi,

0:08:36.910,0:08:38.466
to the manufactured cultural divisions

0:08:38.466,0:08:40.533
of so-called Red and Blue states,

0:08:40.533,0:08:42.244
liberals versus conservatives,

0:08:42.244,0:08:44.246
Wall Street versus Main Street,

0:08:44.246,0:08:46.205
team Edward versus team Jacob,

0:08:46.205,0:08:47.543
Good versus Evil,

0:08:47.543,0:08:49.019
or just us versus them,

0:08:49.019,0:08:50.846
Americans love nothing more than

0:08:50.846,0:08:52.394
to root for their side,

0:08:52.394,0:08:54.628
and to shout insults and heap scorn

0:08:54.628,0:08:57.438
at their opponents - real or perceived.

0:08:57.438,0:08:58.934
You're in big trouble though pal.

0:08:58.934,0:09:00.082
I eat pieces of shit like you

0:09:00.082,0:09:01.223
for breakfast.

0:09:01.223,0:09:03.295
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

0:09:04.815,0:09:05.805
No!

0:09:05.805,0:09:08.291
After all, this is a country where

0:09:08.291,0:09:10.568
every year, thousands of otherwise

0:09:10.568,0:09:12.393
normal fucking people dress up in historic

0:09:12.393,0:09:14.833
military regalia, and recreate

0:09:14.833,0:09:17.193
specific battles from a Civil War

0:09:17.193,0:09:18.460
that ended a hundred years before

0:09:18.460,0:09:19.804
they were fucking born.

0:09:19.804,0:09:22.692
You have a gun. Don't ever point a gun...

0:09:22.692,0:09:23.832
this is like a loaded gun.

0:09:23.832,0:09:25.991
You have a loaded gun.

0:09:25.991,0:09:28.185
So you never ever point it at anybody.

0:09:29.105,0:09:30.708
I was gonna... reenact the Dick Cheney

0:09:30.708,0:09:32.420
quail accident.

0:09:32.420,0:09:35.136
Buuuuuuuut while the nation has always

0:09:35.136,0:09:36.690
been big on its manufactured binaries,

0:09:36.690,0:09:38.844
in recent months it has reached levels

0:09:38.844,0:09:41.157
of polarization not seen in decades,

0:09:41.157,0:09:43.321
with both sides hardening their positions

0:09:43.321,0:09:45.641
and preparing their forces for war.

0:09:45.641,0:09:48.569
Revolution has come.... OFF THE PIGS!

0:09:48.569,0:09:51.462
Time to pick up a gun.... OFF THE PIGS!

0:09:51.462,0:09:53.785
And as has often been the case

0:09:53.785,0:09:55.374
in its sordid fucking history,

0:09:55.374,0:09:57.282
one of the biggest, and most

0:09:57.282,0:09:59.105
emotionally charged faultlines in

0:09:59.105,0:10:01.921
the United Snakes is its racial divide...

0:10:01.921,0:10:03.507
and the white supremacist values

0:10:03.507,0:10:04.429
that underpin it.

0:10:04.429,0:10:05.330
And a lotta white guys....

0:10:05.330,0:10:06.767
"Hey man, that's not fair.

0:10:06.767,0:10:08.229
You can say whatever you want...

0:10:08.229,0:10:10.020
You can say nigger!"

0:10:10.020,0:10:12.301
Yeah.... when I last checked that was the

0:10:12.301,0:10:16.169
only advantage I had to being Black.

0:10:17.429,0:10:19.910
You wanna switch places?

0:10:19.910,0:10:21.420
You scream nigger, and I'll raise

0:10:21.420,0:10:22.520
interest rates.

0:10:22.520,0:10:24.102
And while the question of race is

0:10:24.102,0:10:26.415
not entirely a black versus white affair,

0:10:26.415,0:10:29.271
there is a rapidly shrinking grey area.

0:10:29.271,0:10:31.425
In today's racially charged political

0:10:31.425,0:10:33.712
atmosphere, it's becoming increasingly

0:10:33.712,0:10:36.154
unacceptable to not pick a side.

0:10:36.154,0:10:37.299
You either support

0:10:37.299,0:10:38.756
Black and Brown Liberation,

0:10:38.756,0:10:40.600
an end to racist police terror

0:10:40.600,0:10:41.657
and mass incarceration,

0:10:41.657,0:10:42.873
or you support White Pride,

0:10:42.873,0:10:44.338
rock confederate flags and

0:10:44.338,0:10:45.884
Blue Lives Matter bumper-stickers

0:10:45.884,0:10:47.753
and believe that so-called minorities

0:10:47.753,0:10:50.308
demanding social equality are either

0:10:50.308,0:10:52.732
whiners, criminals, thugs or terrorists.[br]

0:10:52.732,0:10:53.588
BOO!

0:10:53.588,0:10:55.528
In today's Post-Ferguson America,

0:10:55.528,0:10:57.726
the resurgence of Black-led resistance

0:10:57.726,0:10:59.662
to police terror has led to

0:10:59.662,0:11:01.177
a countervailing movement of

0:11:01.177,0:11:03.537
reactionary white supremacist violence.

0:11:03.537,0:11:05.090
The racially motivated mass shootings

0:11:05.090,0:11:06.555
in Charleston, South Carolina led to

0:11:06.555,0:11:09.851
a spate of direct actions, and calls to

0:11:09.851,0:11:11.561
remove these racist fucks' cherished

0:11:11.561,0:11:13.546
Confederate Flag from state courts,

0:11:13.546,0:11:14.898
parks and legislatures,

0:11:14.898,0:11:17.205
which in turn helped sparked a resurgence

0:11:17.205,0:11:19.202
of the bed-sheet wearing champions

0:11:19.202,0:11:20.952
of American racism...

0:11:20.952,0:11:22.823
the Klu Klux fucking Klan![br]

0:11:22.823,0:11:25.625
America's at war with Al Qaeda!

0:11:25.625,0:11:27.656
But we're still losing the war

0:11:27.656,0:11:29.072
against Al Sharpton!

0:11:30.472,0:11:32.367
Since then, the Klan has tried

0:11:32.367,0:11:34.006
on several attempts to mobilize

0:11:34.006,0:11:34.981
their followers,

0:11:34.981,0:11:36.647
provoking counter-demonstrations

0:11:36.647,0:11:38.766
by anti-racist militants in Columbia,

0:11:38.766,0:11:40.356
the Pacific Northwest,

0:11:40.356,0:11:41.452
and Anaheim.

0:11:41.452,0:11:43.818
On Saturday April 23rd they attempted

0:11:43.818,0:11:45.773
to hold a rally at Stone Mountain,

0:11:45.773,0:11:47.984
on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia.

0:11:47.984,0:11:49.297
All these niggas are instruments of

0:11:49.297,0:11:50.078
white supremacy.

0:11:50.078,0:11:51.867
They get paid if we go to jail.

0:11:51.867,0:11:53.651
They get paid if we go to the grave.

0:11:53.651,0:11:55.115
They about to get paid for

0:11:55.115,0:11:57.435
being out here to whip our ass right now.

0:11:57.435,0:11:58.940
When in every Black community,

0:11:58.940,0:12:00.239
three or more in a crowd....

0:12:00.239,0:12:02.069
they lockin' us up sayin' we're a gang.

0:12:02.069,0:12:04.003
They protect white supremacy. Why is that?

0:12:04.003,0:12:05.890
So... to find out what went down,

0:12:05.890,0:12:07.599
I recently caught up with Paul,

0:12:07.599,0:12:09.500
an anarchist and organizer with

0:12:09.500,0:12:10.763
All Out Atlanta.[br]

0:12:10.763,0:12:12.882
Hey Paul... how the fuck ya?

0:12:12.882,0:12:13.899
I'm doing good.

0:12:13.899,0:12:16.461
So... what the fuck went down on the 23rd?

0:12:16.461,0:12:19.958
Potentially 400-500 people came to

0:12:19.958,0:12:22.598
shut down the Rock Stone Mountain

0:12:22.598,0:12:24.799
mobilization... which was organized by

0:12:24.799,0:12:28.708
the Klu Klux Klan, Aryan Nation,

0:12:28.708,0:12:32.456
some kind of neo-confederate groups....

0:12:32.456,0:12:33.964
and yeah, lots of different

0:12:33.964,0:12:35.302
organizing groups threw down

0:12:35.302,0:12:36.431
against an I dunno, fascist police

0:12:36.431,0:12:39.043
erected barricades... set them on fire

0:12:39.043,0:12:40.910
blocked the main entrance of

0:12:40.910,0:12:42.366
the park at Stone Mountain, where the

0:12:42.366,0:12:44.683
event was happening... and ended up

0:12:44.683,0:12:46.177
really just crushing the event and

0:12:46.177,0:12:47.985
demoralizing the white supremacists'

0:12:47.985,0:12:48.953
event.

0:12:48.953,0:12:50.622
So it was a real success.

0:12:50.622,0:12:53.280
You are a member of All Out Atlanta,

0:12:53.280,0:12:55.559
the coalition who came together to chase

0:12:55.559,0:12:57.227
the Klan out of Stone Mountain.

0:12:57.227,0:12:58.559
What can you tell us about how

0:12:58.559,0:12:59.667
this group is structured,

0:12:59.667,0:13:01.088
and how the organizing for

0:13:01.088,0:13:02.473
this convergence took place?

0:13:02.473,0:13:05.482
All Out Atlanta is a kind of

0:13:05.482,0:13:08.449
semi-formal kind of organizing initiative

0:13:08.449,0:13:10.400
that wasn't necessarily bound together

0:13:10.400,0:13:12.271
politically, but is organized around

0:13:12.271,0:13:14.148
kind of some ethical principles

0:13:14.148,0:13:15.900
about like, how they think things should

0:13:15.900,0:13:17.976
be done, and those are listed prominently

0:13:17.976,0:13:20.217
on AllOutAtl.com.

0:13:20.217,0:13:23.096
It's just a group that had formed in

0:13:23.096,0:13:26.350
maybe January of this year, upon the

0:13:26.350,0:13:28.990
announcement that this Rock Stone Mountain

0:13:28.990,0:13:30.791
event, and began meeting.

0:13:30.791,0:13:32.993
Yeah.. just planning for it....

0:13:32.993,0:13:34.133
making decisions together.

0:13:34.133,0:13:36.003
There's no representatives or leadership

0:13:36.003,0:13:38.610
apparatus for AllOutAtl...

0:13:38.610,0:13:41.829
It's just normal people brought from

0:13:41.829,0:13:43.580
some different walks of life, who

0:13:43.580,0:13:45.158
came together to militantly oppose

0:13:45.158,0:13:47.165
this event, and do whatever it takes

0:13:47.165,0:13:48.385
to make sure it couldn't happen.

0:13:48.385,0:13:51.154
Why do the KKK, and white reactionaries

0:13:51.154,0:13:53.338
in general have such a fascination with

0:13:53.338,0:13:54.568
Stone Mountain?

0:13:54.568,0:13:56.299
Seems like there's a bit of history there.

0:13:56.299,0:13:59.150
Stone Mountain is the birthplace

0:13:59.150,0:14:02.396
of the kind of neo-Klu Klux Klan

0:14:02.396,0:14:03.654
in the 20s.

0:14:03.654,0:14:06.470
So post-Reconstruction... and so it's

0:14:06.470,0:14:08.422
a really important place for them because

0:14:08.422,0:14:11.592
they feel like it represents a type of

0:14:11.592,0:14:14.554
continuity that they lack otherwise,

0:14:14.554,0:14:16.590
being that they've been so obliterated

0:14:16.590,0:14:19.822
over the past several decades as

0:14:19.822,0:14:21.182
an organized faction.

0:14:21.182,0:14:22.696
So they wanna reclaim this area,

0:14:22.696,0:14:24.814
partially it's because it's a super

0:14:24.814,0:14:27.818
not a majority-white area anymore.

0:14:27.818,0:14:30.829
And they're trying to regain some sense of

0:14:30.829,0:14:32.816
continuity I guess.

0:14:32.816,0:14:34.729
The past few years has seen a resurgence

0:14:34.729,0:14:36.673
of white supremacist reaction,

0:14:36.673,0:14:38.842
both in Europe and the United Snakes.

0:14:38.842,0:14:40.593
Why do you think this is happening?

0:14:40.593,0:14:42.213
And what are some of the similarities

0:14:42.213,0:14:43.442
and differences in terms of how

0:14:43.442,0:14:44.743
this shit is playing out

0:14:44.743,0:14:46.235
in different parts of the world?

0:14:46.235,0:14:49.619
I do think a lot of why this is happening

0:14:49.619,0:14:52.997
in Europe and places like Greece,

0:14:52.997,0:14:55.150
and Hungary, and Germany, and Austria,

0:14:55.150,0:14:57.921
also in the US.. is because generally

0:14:57.921,0:14:59.673
the institutions which once gave

0:14:59.673,0:15:02.807
stable meaning for life are collapsing.

0:15:02.807,0:15:05.910
The stable positions in the economy,

0:15:05.910,0:15:09.082
kind of different citizen rights,

0:15:09.082,0:15:11.845
a kind of social democracy, or welfare,

0:15:11.845,0:15:13.348
Any state of stable identity is, I think

0:15:13.348,0:15:16.356
really being challenged and there's

0:15:16.356,0:15:18.339
kind of a global identitarian movement

0:15:18.339,0:15:20.422
that's taking different shapes.

0:15:20.422,0:15:22.739
That's trying to reconstitute the old

0:15:22.739,0:15:23.837
forms of power.

0:15:23.837,0:15:26.068
Most of the west... I mean in really all

0:15:26.068,0:15:27.330
of the west... that is white power.

0:15:27.330,0:15:28.672
That's white supremacy.

0:15:28.672,0:15:30.587
We've seen a number of countermobilization

0:15:30.587,0:15:32.459
in recent months responding to attempts

0:15:32.459,0:15:34.410
by white supremacist groups to hold

0:15:34.410,0:15:35.711
public rallies.

0:15:35.711,0:15:37.410
In some ways this type of

0:15:37.410,0:15:39.158
convergence model is similar to what

0:15:39.158,0:15:40.909
we witnessed during the heyday of

0:15:40.909,0:15:42.425
the anti-globalization movement.

0:15:42.425,0:15:43.720
What are some of the strengths

0:15:43.720,0:15:45.643
and potential drawbacks that you see

0:15:45.643,0:15:47.640
coming with this type of organizing model?

0:15:47.640,0:15:49.622
I think some of the strengths are

0:15:49.622,0:15:50.860
pretty obvious.

0:15:50.860,0:15:55.451
You can get a large number of people

0:15:55.451,0:15:56.998
together to fight a common enemy.

0:15:56.998,0:16:00.851
In places like Columbia, South Carolina,

0:16:00.851,0:16:06.324
like Georgia, Anaheim, Olympia, wherever.

0:16:06.364,0:16:09.380
And this way you can have,

0:16:09.380,0:16:11.990
the largest, most fierce resistance

0:16:11.990,0:16:14.098
to the police... to the Klan,

0:16:14.098,0:16:16.299
neo-nazis, whoever... Trump.. whatever,

0:16:16.299,0:16:17.154
his supporters.

0:16:17.154,0:16:19.067
So the drawback could have questioned

0:16:19.067,0:16:21.992
the oppression. The conspiracy charge

0:16:21.992,0:16:25.249
that usually people are unable to drag

0:16:25.249,0:16:29.831
the type of power that they experience

0:16:29.831,0:16:32.925
in these convergence settings back into

0:16:32.925,0:16:35.687
they daily life... then the movement would

0:16:35.687,0:16:37.766
just be sucked back into politics

0:16:37.766,0:16:40.409
because the powerful are the ones who act.

0:16:40.409,0:16:42.683
Threatening the brigade, and like that's

0:16:42.683,0:16:45.041
really how it is that we need to be

0:16:45.041,0:16:46.211
thinking about.

0:16:46.211,0:16:47.643
And I suppose that any protests

0:16:47.643,0:16:49.272
runs that same risk....

0:16:49.272,0:16:50.698
not just convergences.

0:16:50.698,0:16:52.282
Thanks Paul... and

0:16:52.282,0:16:53.787
that about does it for this sedition of

0:16:53.787,0:16:55.495
It’s the End of the World as we Know

0:16:55.495,0:16:56.552
it and I Feel Fine.

0:16:56.552,0:16:58.506
With that said we wanted to ask:

0:16:58.506,0:17:00.584
do you have a camera, computer

0:17:00.584,0:17:02.370
and Internet connection?

0:17:02.370,0:17:04.372
Can you shoot, edit and upload videos

0:17:04.372,0:17:05.385
with the quickness?

0:17:05.385,0:17:06.981
Do you love adventure and the thrill of

0:17:06.981,0:17:08.526
videotaping burning cop cars?

0:17:08.526,0:17:11.049

This week, the following slave ninjas
