00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:09,049
This episode of Its the End of the World

2
00:00:09,049 --> 00:00:10,603
as We Know it and I Feel Fine

3
00:00:10,603 --> 00:00:12,878
was made possible by contributions from

4
00:00:12,878 --> 00:00:14,263
slaves like you.

5
00:00:14,263 --> 00:00:15,199
Spank you very much!

6
00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:28,507
[Crowd Chanting] Stop shooting us!

7
00:00:44,651 --> 00:00:48,951
Go... go... go! Run!

8
00:01:22,788 --> 00:01:25,266
Goooooooooood morning slaves

9
00:01:25,266 --> 00:01:26,692
and welcome to another sedition of


10
00:01:26,692 --> 00:01:28,766
It's the End of the World as We Know it

11
00:01:28,766 --> 00:01:30,881
and I Feel Fine, the show where

12
00:01:30,881 --> 00:01:32,745
the pigs' failed attempts at PR

13
00:01:32,745 --> 00:01:34,220
come back to haunt them.

14
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:37,956
Cuz you know when the cop lights bling

15
00:01:37,956 --> 00:01:39,858
that can only mean one thing....

16
00:01:46,978 --> 00:01:48,808
♫ I'm tryin to run you down

17
00:01:48,808 --> 00:01:51,490
but we're running at the same speed honey.

18
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:53,693
I am your host the Stimulator, and

19
00:01:53,693 --> 00:01:55,524
given the rampant levels of Islamophobia

20
00:01:55,524 --> 00:01:57,231
and anti-immigrant hysteria

21
00:01:57,231 --> 00:01:58,501
spreading across the west...

22
00:01:58,501 --> 00:02:00,146
Enough is enough.

23
00:02:00,146 --> 00:02:03,409
Let us reclaim our country.

24
00:02:03,409 --> 00:02:05,117
Stop the mass immigration from

25
00:02:05,117 --> 00:02:06,260
Islamic countries.

26
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:07,423
No more.

27
00:02:07,423 --> 00:02:09,308
Fuck you, racist fuck!

28
00:02:09,308 --> 00:02:10,768
it can be hard to believe that

29
00:02:10,768 --> 00:02:12,883
just last summer, millions of peeps

30
00:02:12,883 --> 00:02:14,549
around the world were watching

31
00:02:14,549 --> 00:02:17,398
in mothafuckin awe, as tens of thousands

32
00:02:17,398 --> 00:02:19,633
of refugees smashed through the walls

33
00:02:19,633 --> 00:02:21,992
of fortress Europe, bravely fighting

34
00:02:21,992 --> 00:02:23,857
their way past lines of riot cops

35
00:02:23,857 --> 00:02:25,452
in Macedonia and Hungary

36
00:02:25,452 --> 00:02:26,792
streaming across borders,

37
00:02:26,792 --> 00:02:28,789
and eventually ending up in train stations

38
00:02:28,789 --> 00:02:30,536
where they were welcomed by throngs

39
00:02:30,536 --> 00:02:31,911
of cheering supporters,

40
00:02:31,911 --> 00:02:33,300
like exhausted contestants on

41
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:35,704
the most brutal fucking game show ever.


42
00:02:35,704 --> 00:02:37,820
Tear Gas!

43
00:02:37,820 --> 00:02:39,078
Tear gas?

44
00:02:39,938 --> 00:02:42,501
Congratulations Donny and Jessica!

45
00:02:42,501 --> 00:02:44,577
You are in the finals!

46
00:02:46,327 --> 00:02:48,720
Buuuuuut that honeymoon didn't last long.

47
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,800
Bickering between different European

48
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,580
heads of state, combined with

49
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:54,123
popular fears of terrorism and

50
00:02:54,123 --> 00:02:56,449
economic uncertainty, and an accompanying

51
00:02:56,449 --> 00:02:58,689
rise in good ol'fashioned fascism,

52
00:02:58,689 --> 00:03:00,764
have led to the re-militarization

53
00:03:00,764 --> 00:03:02,632
of European borders, leaving

54
00:03:02,632 --> 00:03:04,836
tens of thousands of migrants stranded

55
00:03:04,836 --> 00:03:06,339
in squalid refugee camps and detention

56
00:03:06,339 --> 00:03:09,228
centres in countries across Europe.


57
00:03:09,228 --> 00:03:12,157
In other words, shit is bleak as fuck.

58
00:03:12,157 --> 00:03:14,028
And finally they said no way

59
00:03:14,028 --> 00:03:16,188
to go through this border.

60
00:03:16,188 --> 00:03:18,964
This make us feel so bad.... angry.

61
00:03:18,964 --> 00:03:21,122
And shit got even bleaker on March 20th

62
00:03:21,122 --> 00:03:22,773
when a new deal between Europe

63
00:03:22,773 --> 00:03:24,273
and Turkey came into effect.

64
00:03:24,273 --> 00:03:25,749
Under the terms of this agreement,

65
00:03:25,749 --> 00:03:27,204
Europe has outsourced much of its

66
00:03:27,204 --> 00:03:29,157
refugee detention, asylum processing,

67
00:03:29,157 --> 00:03:31,722
and deportation services to Turkey

68
00:03:31,722 --> 00:03:34,972
in exchange for a cool 3 billion Euros,

69
00:03:34,972 --> 00:03:37,133
the resumption of negotiations aimed at

70
00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:39,270
Turkey joining the EU, and

71
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:40,858
in a sick display of irony,

72
00:03:40,858 --> 00:03:42,988
increased ease of movement for

73
00:03:42,988 --> 00:03:44,538
Turkish citizens in Europe.

74
00:03:44,538 --> 00:03:46,811
And while Turkey has assumed the role

75
00:03:46,811 --> 00:03:48,301
of Europe's border guard,

76
00:03:48,301 --> 00:03:50,060
Greece has been transformed into

77
00:03:50,060 --> 00:03:51,534
a teeming detention camp.

78
00:03:51,534 --> 00:03:53,591
Under the terms of the EU's agreement

79
00:03:53,591 --> 00:03:55,639
with Turkey, and new legislation passed

80
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:57,958
by Greece's snivelling, back-stabbing

81
00:03:57,958 --> 00:03:58,945
Syriza government,

82
00:03:58,945 --> 00:04:01,173
so-called “irregular migrants” have to 


83
00:04:01,173 --> 00:04:03,967
apply for asylum upon arrival in Greece,

84
00:04:03,967 --> 00:04:06,292
or else face immediate deportation

85
00:04:06,292 --> 00:04:08,811
back to Turkey, followed in most cases

86
00:04:08,811 --> 00:04:10,874
by forced deportation back to

87
00:04:10,874 --> 00:04:12,877
the very countries that they were fleeing

88
00:04:12,877 --> 00:04:13,929
in the first place.

89
00:04:13,929 --> 00:04:15,960
In our country is, right now, war.

90
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,710
We don't want to be over there.

91
00:04:17,710 --> 00:04:20,489
For the sake of that very reason,

92
00:04:20,489 --> 00:04:21,752
we've come here.

93
00:04:21,752 --> 00:04:24,798
So if the government agrees to the decision

94
00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:26,475
and sends us back to Turkey,

95
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:27,567
it's very bad for us.

96
00:04:27,567 --> 00:04:28,994
The problem with this arrangement,

97
00:04:28,994 --> 00:04:30,375
besides the fucking obvious, is that

98
00:04:30,375 --> 00:04:32,814
the Greek state is in fucking shambles

99
00:04:32,814 --> 00:04:34,808
and lacks the proper infrastructure

100
00:04:34,808 --> 00:04:36,800
and support staff to process the thousands

101
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,944
of asylum applications,

102
00:04:38,944 --> 00:04:40,537
provide interpretation services,

103
00:04:40,537 --> 00:04:42,285
and adequately house people

104
00:04:42,285 --> 00:04:43,871
while they’re being processed.

105
00:04:43,871 --> 00:04:45,784
To make matters even fucking worse,

106
00:04:45,784 --> 00:04:48,144
the over 50,000 migrants who

107
00:04:48,144 --> 00:04:49,571
reached Greece before the agreement

108
00:04:49,571 --> 00:04:51,109
with Turkey came into effect

109
00:04:51,109 --> 00:04:52,982
are now trapped with nowhere to go,

110
00:04:52,982 --> 00:04:54,809
with many stating they would rather

111
00:04:54,809 --> 00:04:56,311
kill themselves than be

112
00:04:56,311 --> 00:04:57,444
deported back to Turkey.


113
00:04:57,444 --> 00:04:58,950
If we were to go back to Bangladesh

114
00:04:58,950 --> 00:05:00,297
we would die.

115
00:05:00,297 --> 00:05:03,434
So if we die, we will die here.

116
00:05:03,434 --> 00:05:04,774
You cannot go back to Bangladesh.

117
00:05:04,774 --> 00:05:05,505
No way. No choice.

118
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,661
Back in February Macedonia sealed its

119
00:05:07,661 --> 00:05:09,814
border with Greece, as part of an effort 


120
00:05:09,814 --> 00:05:11,845
to close the so-called “Balkan Route”

121
00:05:11,845 --> 00:05:13,098
to Northern Europe.

122
00:05:13,098 --> 00:05:15,100
Since then, a sprawling encampment

123
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:16,731
in the Greek village of Idomeni,

124
00:05:16,731 --> 00:05:18,727
which serves as temporary home to

125
00:05:18,727 --> 00:05:20,831
over 12,000 trapped refugees,

126
00:05:20,831 --> 00:05:22,792
has been the site of increased tensions

127
00:05:22,792 --> 00:05:25,441
and repeated clashes with Greek riot pigs

128
00:05:25,441 --> 00:05:26,905
and Macedonian border troops.

129
00:05:26,905 --> 00:05:29,182
During one of these protests on April 18th

130
00:05:29,182 --> 00:05:31,502
a 24 year old refugee was

131
00:05:31,502 --> 00:05:33,253
critically injured after being run over

132
00:05:33,253 --> 00:05:34,632
by a Greek police van.

133
00:05:34,632 --> 00:05:36,583
This generalized clusterfuck has played

134
00:05:36,583 --> 00:05:38,534
directly into the hands of Greek fascists,

135
00:05:38,534 --> 00:05:40,690
with Golden Dawn supporters leading

136
00:05:40,690 --> 00:05:42,401
marches and rallies in recent weeks, and

137
00:05:42,401 --> 00:05:44,967
attacking anarchist-run refugee centres

138
00:05:44,967 --> 00:05:47,004
on the islands of Lesbos and Chios.

139
00:05:47,004 --> 00:05:48,669
Greek pigs have worked hand in glove

140
00:05:48,669 --> 00:05:50,174
with their fascist buddies,

141
00:05:50,174 --> 00:05:52,167
launching raids on these same centres,

142
00:05:52,167 --> 00:05:53,753
detaining migrants and

143
00:05:53,753 --> 00:05:55,094
their anarchist supporters alike.

144
00:05:55,094 --> 00:05:57,081
Meanwhile, Austria has announced that

145
00:05:57,081 --> 00:05:59,480
as of June 1st, they will be deploying

146
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,256
their army to the Brenner Pass,

147
00:06:01,256 --> 00:06:03,747
an important border crossing with Italy,

148
00:06:03,747 --> 00:06:05,539
the other main country of entry

149
00:06:05,539 --> 00:06:07,269
for migrants arriving in Europe.


150
00:06:07,269 --> 00:06:09,524
Buuuuuuuut resistance to these proposed

151
00:06:09,524 --> 00:06:10,992
border controls is growing.

152
00:06:10,992 --> 00:06:13,641
On April 3rd, around 1000 activists

153
00:06:13,641 --> 00:06:15,053
with No Borders Europe clashed with the

154
00:06:15,053 --> 00:06:18,311
Austrian riot pigs, injuring at least two

155
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:20,441
with a similar scene playing out

156
00:06:20,441 --> 00:06:22,068
three weeks later, on April 24th.

157
00:06:22,068 --> 00:06:24,264
And across Italy, a movement called

158
00:06:24,264 --> 00:06:26,423
#OverTheFortress has begun coordinating

159
00:06:26,423 --> 00:06:29,050
local protests and solidarity actions.

160
00:06:29,050 --> 00:06:31,014
As the poisonous fucking ideology

161
00:06:31,014 --> 00:06:32,637
of fascism continues to spread

162
00:06:32,637 --> 00:06:34,061
throughout Europe and beyond,

163
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:36,257
the stakes are incredibly fucking high.

164
00:06:36,257 --> 00:06:38,207
And if anyone needed a reminder,

165
00:06:38,207 --> 00:06:40,066
they got one on April 18th,

166
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:41,992
when yet another boat capsized

167
00:06:41,992 --> 00:06:44,879
in the Aegean Sea, en route to Italy

168
00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:47,760
killing over 400 refugees on board.

169
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,119
Fuck all borders.

170
00:06:49,119 --> 00:06:51,109
And the states that defend them.


171
00:06:52,575 --> 00:06:54,615
♫ Sitting at a cubicle,

172
00:06:54,615 --> 00:06:56,726
staring at a screen

173
00:06:56,726 --> 00:06:59,574
playing with the lighter in the pocket

174
00:06:59,574 --> 00:07:00,866
of my jeans....

175
00:07:00,866 --> 00:07:10,184
Let's start a riot... let's start a riot.

176
00:07:10,184 --> 00:07:11,771
I'm tired of trading hours

177
00:07:11,771 --> 00:07:14,332
for so little in return.

178
00:07:14,332 --> 00:07:16,572
Don't wanna take a sick day, man

179
00:07:16,572 --> 00:07:18,647
I wanna watch it burn.

180
00:07:18,647 --> 00:07:27,608
Let's start a riot.... let's start a riot.

181
00:07:27,608 --> 00:07:30,769
I'm gonna get together with 100 of

182
00:07:30,769 --> 00:07:36,227
my closest friends.

183
00:07:36,227 --> 00:07:38,711
When a brick goes through the window,

184
00:07:38,711 --> 00:07:45,328
there's no telling how the story ends.

185
00:07:45,328 --> 00:07:47,371
Another wasted day that's filled

186
00:07:47,371 --> 00:07:49,688
with meetings and reports.

187
00:07:49,688 --> 00:07:51,476
Hey boss I'm leaving early....

188
00:07:51,476 --> 00:07:53,146
there's some cars I wanna torch.

189
00:07:53,146 --> 00:08:03,436
Let's start a riot..... let's start a riot.

190
00:08:03,436 --> 00:08:09,597
Let's start a riot... let's start a riot.

191
00:08:10,816 --> 00:08:12,166
Light it up!

192
00:08:13,376 --> 00:08:15,636
The United Snakes has long been a nation

193
00:08:15,636 --> 00:08:18,005
divided into bitterly opposed camps.

194
00:08:18,005 --> 00:08:20,034
Springfield sucks!

195
00:08:20,034 --> 00:08:22,836
Who you trying to get crazy with esse?

196
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:24,590
Don't you know I'm loco?

197
00:08:24,590 --> 00:08:26,584
A so-called Melting Pot with carefully

198
00:08:26,584 --> 00:08:28,936
manufactured rivalries overseen by

199
00:08:28,936 --> 00:08:30,456
a heavily militarized state,

200
00:08:30,456 --> 00:08:32,164
itself beholden to a powerful

201
00:08:32,164 --> 00:08:33,479
corporate oligarchy.

202
00:08:34,059 --> 00:08:35,733
From the cola wars waged between

203
00:08:35,733 --> 00:08:36,910
Coke and Pepsi,

204
00:08:36,910 --> 00:08:38,466
to the manufactured cultural divisions

205
00:08:38,466 --> 00:08:40,533
of so-called Red and Blue states,

206
00:08:40,533 --> 00:08:42,244
liberals versus conservatives,

207
00:08:42,244 --> 00:08:44,246
Wall Street versus Main Street,

208
00:08:44,246 --> 00:08:46,205
team Edward versus team Jacob,

209
00:08:46,205 --> 00:08:47,543
Good versus Evil,

210
00:08:47,543 --> 00:08:49,019
or just us versus them,

211
00:08:49,019 --> 00:08:50,846
Americans love nothing more than

212
00:08:50,846 --> 00:08:52,394
to root for their side,

213
00:08:52,394 --> 00:08:54,628
and to shout insults and heap scorn

214
00:08:54,628 --> 00:08:57,438
at their opponents - real or perceived.

215
00:08:57,438 --> 00:08:58,934
You're in big trouble though pal.

216
00:08:58,934 --> 00:09:00,082
I eat pieces of shit like you

217
00:09:00,082 --> 00:09:01,223
for breakfast.

218
00:09:01,223 --> 00:09:03,295
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

219
00:09:04,815 --> 00:09:05,805
No!

220
00:09:05,805 --> 00:09:08,291
After all, this is a country where

221
00:09:08,291 --> 00:09:10,568
every year, thousands of otherwise

222
00:09:10,568 --> 00:09:12,393
normal fucking people dress up in historic

223
00:09:12,393 --> 00:09:14,833
military regalia, and recreate

224
00:09:14,833 --> 00:09:17,193
specific battles from a Civil War

225
00:09:17,193 --> 00:09:18,460
that ended a hundred years before

226
00:09:18,460 --> 00:09:19,804
they were fucking born.

227
00:09:19,804 --> 00:09:22,692
You have a gun. Don't ever point a gun...

228
00:09:22,692 --> 00:09:23,832
this is like a loaded gun.

229
00:09:23,832 --> 00:09:25,991
You have a loaded gun.

230
00:09:25,991 --> 00:09:28,185
So you never ever point it at anybody.

231
00:09:29,105 --> 00:09:30,708
I was gonna... reenact the Dick Cheney

232
00:09:30,708 --> 00:09:32,420
quail accident.

233
00:09:32,420 --> 00:09:35,136
Buuuuuuuut while the nation has always

234
00:09:35,136 --> 00:09:36,690
been big on its manufactured binaries,

235
00:09:36,690 --> 00:09:38,844
in recent months it has reached levels

236
00:09:38,844 --> 00:09:41,157
of polarization not seen in decades,

237
00:09:41,157 --> 00:09:43,321
with both sides hardening their positions

238
00:09:43,321 --> 00:09:45,641
and preparing their forces for war.

239
00:09:45,641 --> 00:09:48,569
Revolution has come.... OFF THE PIGS!

240
00:09:48,569 --> 00:09:51,462
Time to pick up a gun.... OFF THE PIGS!

241
00:09:51,462 --> 00:09:53,785
And as has often been the case

242
00:09:53,785 --> 00:09:55,374
in its sordid fucking history,

243
00:09:55,374 --> 00:09:57,282
one of the biggest, and most

244
00:09:57,282 --> 00:09:59,105
emotionally charged faultlines in

245
00:09:59,105 --> 00:10:01,921
the United Snakes is its racial divide...

246
00:10:01,921 --> 00:10:03,507
and the white supremacist values

247
00:10:03,507 --> 00:10:04,429
that underpin it.

248
00:10:04,429 --> 00:10:05,330
And a lotta white guys....

249
00:10:05,330 --> 00:10:06,767
"Hey man, that's not fair.

250
00:10:06,767 --> 00:10:08,229
You can say whatever you want...

251
00:10:08,229 --> 00:10:10,020
You can say nigger!"

252
00:10:10,020 --> 00:10:12,301
Yeah.... when I last checked that was the

253
00:10:12,301 --> 00:10:16,169
only advantage I had to being Black.

254
00:10:17,429 --> 00:10:19,910
You wanna switch places?

255
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:21,420
You scream nigger, and I'll raise

256
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:22,520
interest rates.

257
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,102
And while the question of race is

258
00:10:24,102 --> 00:10:26,415
not entirely a black versus white affair,

259
00:10:26,415 --> 00:10:29,271
there is a rapidly shrinking grey area.

260
00:10:29,271 --> 00:10:31,425
In today's racially charged political

261
00:10:31,425 --> 00:10:33,712
atmosphere, it's becoming increasingly

262
00:10:33,712 --> 00:10:36,154
unacceptable to not pick a side.

263
00:10:36,154 --> 00:10:37,299
You either support

264
00:10:37,299 --> 00:10:38,756
Black and Brown Liberation,

265
00:10:38,756 --> 00:10:40,600
an end to racist police terror

266
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,657
and mass incarceration,

267
00:10:41,657 --> 00:10:42,873
or you support White Pride,

268
00:10:42,873 --> 00:10:44,338
rock confederate flags and

269
00:10:44,338 --> 00:10:45,884
Blue Lives Matter bumper-stickers

270
00:10:45,884 --> 00:10:47,753
and believe that so-called minorities

271
00:10:47,753 --> 00:10:50,308
demanding social equality are either

272
00:10:50,308 --> 00:10:52,732
whiners, criminals, thugs or terrorists.


273
00:10:52,732 --> 00:10:53,588
BOO!

274
00:10:53,588 --> 00:10:55,528
In today's Post-Ferguson America,

275
00:10:55,528 --> 00:10:57,726
the resurgence of Black-led resistance

276
00:10:57,726 --> 00:10:59,662
to police terror has led to

277
00:10:59,662 --> 00:11:01,177
a countervailing movement of

278
00:11:01,177 --> 00:11:03,537
reactionary white supremacist violence.

279
00:11:03,537 --> 00:11:05,090
The racially motivated mass shootings

280
00:11:05,090 --> 00:11:06,555
in Charleston, South Carolina led to

281
00:11:06,555 --> 00:11:09,851
a spate of direct actions, and calls to

282
00:11:09,851 --> 00:11:11,561
remove these racist fucks' cherished

283
00:11:11,561 --> 00:11:13,546
Confederate Flag from state courts,

284
00:11:13,546 --> 00:11:14,898
parks and legislatures,

285
00:11:14,898 --> 00:11:17,205
which in turn helped sparked a resurgence

286
00:11:17,205 --> 00:11:19,202
of the bed-sheet wearing champions

287
00:11:19,202 --> 00:11:20,952
of American racism...

288
00:11:20,952 --> 00:11:22,823
the Klu Klux fucking Klan!


289
00:11:22,823 --> 00:11:25,625
America's at war with Al Qaeda!

290
00:11:25,625 --> 00:11:27,656
But we're still losing the war

291
00:11:27,656 --> 00:11:29,072
against Al Sharpton!

292
00:11:30,472 --> 00:11:32,367
Since then, the Klan has tried

293
00:11:32,367 --> 00:11:34,006
on several attempts to mobilize

294
00:11:34,006 --> 00:11:34,981
their followers,

295
00:11:34,981 --> 00:11:36,647
provoking counter-demonstrations

296
00:11:36,647 --> 00:11:38,766
by anti-racist militants in Columbia,

297
00:11:38,766 --> 00:11:40,356
the Pacific Northwest,

298
00:11:40,356 --> 00:11:41,452
and Anaheim.

299
00:11:41,452 --> 00:11:43,818
On Saturday April 23rd they attempted

300
00:11:43,818 --> 00:11:45,773
to hold a rally at Stone Mountain,

301
00:11:45,773 --> 00:11:47,984
on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia.

302
00:11:47,984 --> 00:11:49,297
All these niggas are instruments of

303
00:11:49,297 --> 00:11:50,078
white supremacy.

304
00:11:50,078 --> 00:11:51,867
They get paid if we go to jail.

305
00:11:51,867 --> 00:11:53,651
They get paid if we go to the grave.

306
00:11:53,651 --> 00:11:55,115
They about to get paid for

307
00:11:55,115 --> 00:11:57,435
being out here to whip our ass right now.

308
00:11:57,435 --> 00:11:58,940
When in every Black community,

309
00:11:58,940 --> 00:12:00,239
three or more in a crowd....

310
00:12:00,239 --> 00:12:02,069
they lockin' us up sayin' we're a gang.

311
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:04,003
They protect white supremacy. Why is that?

312
00:12:04,003 --> 00:12:05,890
So... to find out what went down,

313
00:12:05,890 --> 00:12:07,599
I recently caught up with Paul,

314
00:12:07,599 --> 00:12:09,500
an anarchist and organizer with

315
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:10,763
All Out Atlanta.


316
00:12:10,763 --> 00:12:12,882
Hey Paul... how the fuck ya?

317
00:12:12,882 --> 00:12:13,899
I'm doing good.

318
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:16,461
So... what the fuck went down on the 23rd?

319
00:12:16,461 --> 00:12:19,958
Potentially 400-500 people came to

320
00:12:19,958 --> 00:12:22,598
shut down the Rock Stone Mountain

321
00:12:22,598 --> 00:12:24,799
mobilization... which was organized by

322
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:28,708
the Klu Klux Klan, Aryan Nation,

323
00:12:28,708 --> 00:12:32,456
some kind of neo-confederate groups....

324
00:12:32,456 --> 00:12:33,964
and yeah, lots of different

325
00:12:33,964 --> 00:12:35,302
organizing groups threw down

326
00:12:35,302 --> 00:12:36,431
against an I dunno, fascist police

327
00:12:36,431 --> 00:12:39,043
erected barricades... set them on fire

328
00:12:39,043 --> 00:12:40,910
blocked the main entrance of

329
00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:42,366
the park at Stone Mountain, where the

330
00:12:42,366 --> 00:12:44,683
event was happening... and ended up

331
00:12:44,683 --> 00:12:46,177
really just crushing the event and

332
00:12:46,177 --> 00:12:47,985
demoralizing the white supremacists'

333
00:12:47,985 --> 00:12:48,953
event.

334
00:12:48,953 --> 00:12:50,622
So it was a real success.

335
00:12:50,622 --> 00:12:53,280
You are a member of All Out Atlanta,

336
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,559
the coalition who came together to chase

337
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,227
the Klan out of Stone Mountain.

338
00:12:57,227 --> 00:12:58,559
What can you tell us about how

339
00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,667
this group is structured,

340
00:12:59,667 --> 00:13:01,088
and how the organizing for

341
00:13:01,088 --> 00:13:02,473
this convergence took place?

342
00:13:02,473 --> 00:13:05,482
All Out Atlanta is a kind of

343
00:13:05,482 --> 00:13:08,449
semi-formal kind of organizing initiative

344
00:13:08,449 --> 00:13:10,400
that wasn't necessarily bound together

345
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,271
politically, but is organized around

346
00:13:12,271 --> 00:13:14,148
kind of some ethical principles

347
00:13:14,148 --> 00:13:15,900
about like, how they think things should

348
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:17,976
be done, and those are listed prominently

349
00:13:17,976 --> 00:13:20,217
on AllOutAtl.com.

350
00:13:20,217 --> 00:13:23,096
It's just a group that had formed in

351
00:13:23,096 --> 00:13:26,350
maybe January of this year, upon the

352
00:13:26,350 --> 00:13:28,990
announcement that this Rock Stone Mountain

353
00:13:28,990 --> 00:13:30,791
event, and began meeting.

354
00:13:30,791 --> 00:13:32,993
Yeah.. just planning for it....

355
00:13:32,993 --> 00:13:34,133
making decisions together.

356
00:13:34,133 --> 00:13:36,003
There's no representatives or leadership

357
00:13:36,003 --> 00:13:38,610
apparatus for AllOutAtl...

358
00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:41,829
It's just normal people brought from

359
00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:43,580
some different walks of life, who

360
00:13:43,580 --> 00:13:45,158
came together to militantly oppose

361
00:13:45,158 --> 00:13:47,165
this event, and do whatever it takes

362
00:13:47,165 --> 00:13:48,385
to make sure it couldn't happen.

363
00:13:48,385 --> 00:13:51,154
Why do the KKK, and white reactionaries

364
00:13:51,154 --> 00:13:53,338
in general have such a fascination with

365
00:13:53,338 --> 00:13:54,568
Stone Mountain?

366
00:13:54,568 --> 00:13:56,299
Seems like there's a bit of history there.

367
00:13:56,299 --> 00:13:59,150
Stone Mountain is the birthplace

368
00:13:59,150 --> 00:14:02,396
of the kind of neo-Klu Klux Klan

369
00:14:02,396 --> 00:14:03,654
in the 20s.

370
00:14:03,654 --> 00:14:06,470
So post-Reconstruction... and so it's

371
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:08,422
a really important place for them because

372
00:14:08,422 --> 00:14:11,592
they feel like it represents a type of

373
00:14:11,592 --> 00:14:14,554
continuity that they lack otherwise,

374
00:14:14,554 --> 00:14:16,590
being that they've been so obliterated

375
00:14:16,590 --> 00:14:19,822
over the past several decades as

376
00:14:19,822 --> 00:14:21,182
an organized faction.

377
00:14:21,182 --> 00:14:22,696
So they wanna reclaim this area,

378
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:24,814
partially it's because it's a super

379
00:14:24,814 --> 00:14:27,818
not a majority-white area anymore.

380
00:14:27,818 --> 00:14:30,829
And they're trying to regain some sense of

381
00:14:30,829 --> 00:14:32,816
continuity I guess.

382
00:14:32,816 --> 00:14:34,729
The past few years has seen a resurgence

383
00:14:34,729 --> 00:14:36,673
of white supremacist reaction,

384
00:14:36,673 --> 00:14:38,842
both in Europe and the United Snakes.

385
00:14:38,842 --> 00:14:40,593
Why do you think this is happening?

386
00:14:40,593 --> 00:14:42,213
And what are some of the similarities

387
00:14:42,213 --> 00:14:43,442
and differences in terms of how

388
00:14:43,442 --> 00:14:44,743
this shit is playing out

389
00:14:44,743 --> 00:14:46,235
in different parts of the world?

390
00:14:46,235 --> 00:14:49,619
I do think a lot of why this is happening

391
00:14:49,619 --> 00:14:52,997
in Europe and places like Greece,

392
00:14:52,997 --> 00:14:55,150
and Hungary, and Germany, and Austria,

393
00:14:55,150 --> 00:14:57,921
also in the US.. is because generally

394
00:14:57,921 --> 00:14:59,673
the institutions which once gave

395
00:14:59,673 --> 00:15:02,807
stable meaning for life are collapsing.

396
00:15:02,807 --> 00:15:05,910
The stable positions in the economy,

397
00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:09,082
kind of different citizen rights,

398
00:15:09,082 --> 00:15:11,845
a kind of social democracy, or welfare,

399
00:15:11,845 --> 00:15:13,348
Any state of stable identity is, I think

400
00:15:13,348 --> 00:15:16,356
really being challenged and there's

401
00:15:16,356 --> 00:15:18,339
kind of a global identitarian movement

402
00:15:18,339 --> 00:15:20,422
that's taking different shapes.

403
00:15:20,422 --> 00:15:22,739
That's trying to reconstitute the old

404
00:15:22,739 --> 00:15:23,837
forms of power.

405
00:15:23,837 --> 00:15:26,068
Most of the west... I mean in really all

406
00:15:26,068 --> 00:15:27,330
of the west... that is white power.

407
00:15:27,330 --> 00:15:28,672
That's white supremacy.

408
00:15:28,672 --> 00:15:30,587
We've seen a number of countermobilization

409
00:15:30,587 --> 00:15:32,459
in recent months responding to attempts

410
00:15:32,459 --> 00:15:34,410
by white supremacist groups to hold

411
00:15:34,410 --> 00:15:35,711
public rallies.

412
00:15:35,711 --> 00:15:37,410
In some ways this type of

413
00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:39,158
convergence model is similar to what

414
00:15:39,158 --> 00:15:40,909
we witnessed during the heyday of

415
00:15:40,909 --> 00:15:42,425
the anti-globalization movement.

416
00:15:42,425 --> 00:15:43,720
What are some of the strengths

417
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,643
and potential drawbacks that you see

418
00:15:45,643 --> 00:15:47,640
coming with this type of organizing model?

419
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,622
I think some of the strengths are

420
00:15:49,622 --> 00:15:50,860
pretty obvious.

421
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:55,451
You can get a large number of people

422
00:15:55,451 --> 00:15:56,998
together to fight a common enemy.

423
00:15:56,998 --> 00:16:00,851
In places like Columbia, South Carolina,

424
00:16:00,851 --> 00:16:06,324
like Georgia, Anaheim, Olympia, wherever.

425
00:16:06,364 --> 00:16:09,380
And this way you can have,

426
00:16:09,380 --> 00:16:11,990
the largest, most fierce resistance

427
00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:14,098
to the police... to the Klan,

428
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:16,299
neo-nazis, whoever... Trump.. whatever,

429
00:16:16,299 --> 00:16:17,154
his supporters.

430
00:16:17,154 --> 00:16:19,067
So the drawback could have questioned

431
00:16:19,067 --> 00:16:21,992
the oppression. The conspiracy charge

432
00:16:21,992 --> 00:16:25,249
that usually people are unable to drag

433
00:16:25,249 --> 00:16:29,831
the type of power that they experience

434
00:16:29,831 --> 00:16:32,925
in these convergence settings back into

435
00:16:32,925 --> 00:16:35,687
they daily life... then the movement would

436
00:16:35,687 --> 00:16:37,766
just be sucked back into politics

437
00:16:37,766 --> 00:16:40,409
because the powerful are the ones who act.

438
00:16:40,409 --> 00:16:42,683
Threatening the brigade, and like that's

439
00:16:42,683 --> 00:16:45,041
really how it is that we need to be

440
00:16:45,041 --> 00:16:46,211
thinking about.

441
00:16:46,211 --> 00:16:47,643
And I suppose that any protests

442
00:16:47,643 --> 00:16:49,272
runs that same risk....

443
00:16:49,272 --> 00:16:50,698
not just convergences.

444
00:16:50,698 --> 00:16:52,282
Thanks Paul... and

445
00:16:52,282 --> 00:16:53,787
that about does it for this sedition of

446
00:16:53,787 --> 00:16:55,495
It’s the End of the World as we Know

447
00:16:55,495 --> 00:16:56,552
it and I Feel Fine.

448
00:16:56,552 --> 00:16:58,506
With that said we wanted to ask:

449
00:16:58,506 --> 00:17:00,584
do you have a camera, computer

450
00:17:00,584 --> 00:17:02,370
and Internet connection?

451
00:17:02,370 --> 00:17:04,372
Can you shoot, edit and upload videos

452
00:17:04,372 --> 00:17:05,385
with the quickness?

453
00:17:05,385 --> 00:17:06,981
Do you love adventure and the thrill of

454
00:17:06,981 --> 00:17:08,526
videotaping burning cop cars?

455
00:17:08,526 --> 00:17:11,049

Last but not least, we’d like to

480
00:17:56,745 --> 00:17:58,654
welcome the newest members

486
00:18:07,401 --> 00:18:08,621
and raise some fucking hell.

487
00:18:08,621 --> 00:18:10,077
And let the muthafuckers know


488
00:18:10,077 --> 00:18:11,097
that you’re not gonna take it.

489
00:18:11,097 --> 00:18:13,288
