00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:09.049
This episode of Its the End of the World

00:00:09.049 --> 00:00:10.603
as We Know it and I Feel Fine

00:00:10.603 --> 00:00:12.878
was made possible by contributions from

00:00:12.878 --> 00:00:14.263
slaves like you.

00:00:14.263 --> 00:00:15.199
Spank you very much!

00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:28.507
[Crowd Chanting] Stop shooting us!

00:00:44.651 --> 00:00:48.951
Go... go... go! Run!

00:01:22.788 --> 00:01:25.266
Goooooooooood morning slaves

00:01:25.266 --> 00:01:26.692
and welcome to another sedition of


00:01:26.692 --> 00:01:28.766
It's the End of the World as We Know it

00:01:28.766 --> 00:01:30.881
and I Feel Fine, the show where

00:01:30.881 --> 00:01:32.745
the pigs' failed attempts at PR

00:01:32.745 --> 00:01:34.220
come back to haunt them.

00:01:34.220 --> 00:01:37.956
Cuz you know when the cop lights bling

00:01:37.956 --> 00:01:39.858
that can only mean one thing....

00:01:46.978 --> 00:01:48.808
♫ I'm tryin to run you down

00:01:48.808 --> 00:01:51.490
but we're running at the same speed honey.

00:01:51.590 --> 00:01:53.693
I am your host the Stimulator, and

00:01:53.693 --> 00:01:55.524
given the rampant levels of Islamophobia

00:01:55.524 --> 00:01:57.231
and anti-immigrant hysteria

00:01:57.231 --> 00:01:58.501
spreading across the west...

00:01:58.501 --> 00:02:00.146
Enough is enough.

00:02:00.146 --> 00:02:03.409
Let us reclaim our country.

00:02:03.409 --> 00:02:05.117
Stop the mass immigration from

00:02:05.117 --> 00:02:06.260
Islamic countries.

00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:07.423
No more.

00:02:07.423 --> 00:02:09.308
Fuck you, racist fuck!

00:02:09.308 --> 00:02:10.768
it can be hard to believe that

00:02:10.768 --> 00:02:12.883
just last summer, millions of peeps

00:02:12.883 --> 00:02:14.549
around the world were watching

00:02:14.549 --> 00:02:17.398
in mothafuckin awe, as tens of thousands

00:02:17.398 --> 00:02:19.633
of refugees smashed through the walls

00:02:19.633 --> 00:02:21.992
of fortress Europe, bravely fighting

00:02:21.992 --> 00:02:23.857
their way past lines of riot cops

00:02:23.857 --> 00:02:25.452
in Macedonia and Hungary

00:02:25.452 --> 00:02:26.792
streaming across borders,

00:02:26.792 --> 00:02:28.789
and eventually ending up in train stations

00:02:28.789 --> 00:02:30.536
where they were welcomed by throngs

00:02:30.536 --> 00:02:31.911
of cheering supporters,

00:02:31.911 --> 00:02:33.300
like exhausted contestants on

00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:35.704
the most brutal fucking game show ever.


00:02:35.704 --> 00:02:37.820
Tear Gas!

00:02:37.820 --> 00:02:39.078
Tear gas?

00:02:39.938 --> 00:02:42.501
Congratulations Donny and Jessica!

00:02:42.501 --> 00:02:44.577
You are in the finals!

00:02:46.327 --> 00:02:48.720
Buuuuuut that honeymoon didn't last long.

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:50.800
Bickering between different European

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.580
heads of state, combined with

00:02:52.580 --> 00:02:54.123
popular fears of terrorism and

00:02:54.123 --> 00:02:56.449
economic uncertainty, and an accompanying

00:02:56.449 --> 00:02:58.689
rise in good ol'fashioned fascism,

00:02:58.689 --> 00:03:00.764
have led to the re-militarization

00:03:00.764 --> 00:03:02.632
of European borders, leaving

00:03:02.632 --> 00:03:04.836
tens of thousands of migrants stranded

00:03:04.836 --> 00:03:06.339
in squalid refugee camps and detention

00:03:06.339 --> 00:03:09.228
centres in countries across Europe.


00:03:09.228 --> 00:03:12.157
In other words, shit is bleak as fuck.

00:03:12.157 --> 00:03:14.028
And finally they said no way

00:03:14.028 --> 00:03:16.188
to go through this border.

00:03:16.188 --> 00:03:18.964
This make us feel so bad.... angry.

00:03:18.964 --> 00:03:21.122
And shit got even bleaker on March 20th

00:03:21.122 --> 00:03:22.773
when a new deal between Europe

00:03:22.773 --> 00:03:24.273
and Turkey came into effect.

00:03:24.273 --> 00:03:25.749
Under the terms of this agreement,

00:03:25.749 --> 00:03:27.204
Europe has outsourced much of its

00:03:27.204 --> 00:03:29.157
refugee detention, asylum processing,

00:03:29.157 --> 00:03:31.722
and deportation services to Turkey

00:03:31.722 --> 00:03:34.972
in exchange for a cool 3 billion Euros,

00:03:34.972 --> 00:03:37.133
the resumption of negotiations aimed at

00:03:37.133 --> 00:03:39.270
Turkey joining the EU, and

00:03:39.270 --> 00:03:40.858
in a sick display of irony,

00:03:40.858 --> 00:03:42.988
increased ease of movement for

00:03:42.988 --> 00:03:44.538
Turkish citizens in Europe.

00:03:44.538 --> 00:03:46.811
And while Turkey has assumed the role

00:03:46.811 --> 00:03:48.301
of Europe's border guard,

00:03:48.301 --> 00:03:50.060
Greece has been transformed into

00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:51.534
a teeming detention camp.

00:03:51.534 --> 00:03:53.591
Under the terms of the EU's agreement

00:03:53.591 --> 00:03:55.639
with Turkey, and new legislation passed

00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:57.958
by Greece's snivelling, back-stabbing

00:03:57.958 --> 00:03:58.945
Syriza government,

00:03:58.945 --> 00:04:01.173
so-called “irregular migrants” have to 


00:04:01.173 --> 00:04:03.967
apply for asylum upon arrival in Greece,

00:04:03.967 --> 00:04:06.292
or else face immediate deportation

00:04:06.292 --> 00:04:08.811
back to Turkey, followed in most cases

00:04:08.811 --> 00:04:10.874
by forced deportation back to

00:04:10.874 --> 00:04:12.877
the very countries that they were fleeing

00:04:12.877 --> 00:04:13.929
in the first place.

00:04:13.929 --> 00:04:15.960
In our country is, right now, war.

00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.710
We don't want to be over there.

00:04:17.710 --> 00:04:20.489
For the sake of that very reason,

00:04:20.489 --> 00:04:21.752
we've come here.

00:04:21.752 --> 00:04:24.798
So if the government agrees to the decision

00:04:24.798 --> 00:04:26.475
and sends us back to Turkey,

00:04:26.475 --> 00:04:27.567
it's very bad for us.

00:04:27.567 --> 00:04:28.994
The problem with this arrangement,

00:04:28.994 --> 00:04:30.375
besides the fucking obvious, is that

00:04:30.375 --> 00:04:32.814
the Greek state is in fucking shambles

00:04:32.814 --> 00:04:34.808
and lacks the proper infrastructure

00:04:34.808 --> 00:04:36.800
and support staff to process the thousands

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.944
of asylum applications,

00:04:38.944 --> 00:04:40.537
provide interpretation services,

00:04:40.537 --> 00:04:42.285
and adequately house people

00:04:42.285 --> 00:04:43.871
while they’re being processed.

00:04:43.871 --> 00:04:45.784
To make matters even fucking worse,

00:04:45.784 --> 00:04:48.144
the over 50,000 migrants who

00:04:48.144 --> 00:04:49.571
reached Greece before the agreement

00:04:49.571 --> 00:04:51.109
with Turkey came into effect

00:04:51.109 --> 00:04:52.982
are now trapped with nowhere to go,

00:04:52.982 --> 00:04:54.809
with many stating they would rather

00:04:54.809 --> 00:04:56.311
kill themselves than be

00:04:56.311 --> 00:04:57.444
deported back to Turkey.


00:04:57.444 --> 00:04:58.950
If we were to go back to Bangladesh

00:04:58.950 --> 00:05:00.297
we would die.

00:05:00.297 --> 00:05:03.434
So if we die, we will die here.

00:05:03.434 --> 00:05:04.774
You cannot go back to Bangladesh.

00:05:04.774 --> 00:05:05.505
No way. No choice.

00:05:05.505 --> 00:05:07.661
Back in February Macedonia sealed its

00:05:07.661 --> 00:05:09.814
border with Greece, as part of an effort 


00:05:09.814 --> 00:05:11.845
to close the so-called “Balkan Route”

00:05:11.845 --> 00:05:13.098
to Northern Europe.

00:05:13.098 --> 00:05:15.100
Since then, a sprawling encampment

00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:16.731
in the Greek village of Idomeni,

00:05:16.731 --> 00:05:18.727
which serves as temporary home to

00:05:18.727 --> 00:05:20.831
over 12,000 trapped refugees,

00:05:20.831 --> 00:05:22.792
has been the site of increased tensions

00:05:22.792 --> 00:05:25.441
and repeated clashes with Greek riot pigs

00:05:25.441 --> 00:05:26.905
and Macedonian border troops.

00:05:26.905 --> 00:05:29.182
During one of these protests on April 18th

00:05:29.182 --> 00:05:31.502
a 24 year old refugee was

00:05:31.502 --> 00:05:33.253
critically injured after being run over

00:05:33.253 --> 00:05:34.632
by a Greek police van.

00:05:34.632 --> 00:05:36.583
This generalized clusterfuck has played

00:05:36.583 --> 00:05:38.534
directly into the hands of Greek fascists,

00:05:38.534 --> 00:05:40.690
with Golden Dawn supporters leading

00:05:40.690 --> 00:05:42.401
marches and rallies in recent weeks, and

00:05:42.401 --> 00:05:44.967
attacking anarchist-run refugee centres

00:05:44.967 --> 00:05:47.004
on the islands of Lesbos and Chios.

00:05:47.004 --> 00:05:48.669
Greek pigs have worked hand in glove

00:05:48.669 --> 00:05:50.174
with their fascist buddies,

00:05:50.174 --> 00:05:52.167
launching raids on these same centres,

00:05:52.167 --> 00:05:53.753
detaining migrants and

00:05:53.753 --> 00:05:55.094
their anarchist supporters alike.

00:05:55.094 --> 00:05:57.081
Meanwhile, Austria has announced that

00:05:57.081 --> 00:05:59.480
as of June 1st, they will be deploying

00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.256
their army to the Brenner Pass,

00:06:01.256 --> 00:06:03.747
an important border crossing with Italy,

00:06:03.747 --> 00:06:05.539
the other main country of entry

00:06:05.539 --> 00:06:07.269
for migrants arriving in Europe.


00:06:07.269 --> 00:06:09.524
Buuuuuuuut resistance to these proposed

00:06:09.524 --> 00:06:10.992
border controls is growing.

00:06:10.992 --> 00:06:13.641
On April 3rd, around 1000 activists

00:06:13.641 --> 00:06:15.053
with No Borders Europe clashed with the

00:06:15.053 --> 00:06:18.311
Austrian riot pigs, injuring at least two

00:06:18.311 --> 00:06:20.441
with a similar scene playing out

00:06:20.441 --> 00:06:22.068
three weeks later, on April 24th.

00:06:22.068 --> 00:06:24.264
And across Italy, a movement called

00:06:24.264 --> 00:06:26.423
#OverTheFortress has begun coordinating

00:06:26.423 --> 00:06:29.050
local protests and solidarity actions.

00:06:29.050 --> 00:06:31.014
As the poisonous fucking ideology

00:06:31.014 --> 00:06:32.637
of fascism continues to spread

00:06:32.637 --> 00:06:34.061
throughout Europe and beyond,

00:06:34.061 --> 00:06:36.257
the stakes are incredibly fucking high.

00:06:36.257 --> 00:06:38.207
And if anyone needed a reminder,

00:06:38.207 --> 00:06:40.066
they got one on April 18th,

00:06:40.066 --> 00:06:41.992
when yet another boat capsized

00:06:41.992 --> 00:06:44.879
in the Aegean Sea, en route to Italy

NOTE Paragraph

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.760
killing over 400 refugees on board.

00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:49.119
Fuck all borders.

00:06:49.119 --> 00:06:51.109
And the states that defend them.


00:06:52.575 --> 00:06:54.615
♫ Sitting at a cubicle,

00:06:54.615 --> 00:06:56.726
staring at a screen

00:06:56.726 --> 00:06:59.574
playing with the lighter in the pocket

00:06:59.574 --> 00:07:00.866
of my jeans....

00:07:00.866 --> 00:07:10.184
Let's start a riot... let's start a riot.

00:07:10.184 --> 00:07:11.771
I'm tired of trading hours

00:07:11.771 --> 00:07:14.332
for so little in return.

00:07:14.332 --> 00:07:16.572
Don't wanna take a sick day, man

00:07:16.572 --> 00:07:18.647
I wanna watch it burn.

00:07:18.647 --> 00:07:27.608
Let's start a riot.... let's start a riot.

00:07:27.608 --> 00:07:30.769
I'm gonna get together with 100 of

00:07:30.769 --> 00:07:36.227
my closest friends.

00:07:36.227 --> 00:07:38.711
When a brick goes through the window,

00:07:38.711 --> 00:07:45.328
there's no telling how the story ends.

00:07:45.328 --> 00:07:47.371
Another wasted day that's filled

00:07:47.371 --> 00:07:49.688
with meetings and reports.

00:07:49.688 --> 00:07:51.476
Hey boss I'm leaving early....

00:07:51.476 --> 00:07:53.146
there's some cars I wanna torch.

00:07:53.146 --> 00:08:03.436
Let's start a riot..... let's start a riot.

00:08:03.436 --> 00:08:09.597
Let's start a riot... let's start a riot.

00:08:10.816 --> 00:08:12.166
Light it up!

00:08:13.376 --> 00:08:15.636
The United Snakes has long been a nation

00:08:15.636 --> 00:08:18.005
divided into bitterly opposed camps.

00:08:18.005 --> 00:08:20.034
Springfield sucks!

00:08:20.034 --> 00:08:22.836
Who you trying to get crazy with esse?

00:08:22.836 --> 00:08:24.590
Don't you know I'm loco?

00:08:24.590 --> 00:08:26.584
A so-called Melting Pot with carefully

00:08:26.584 --> 00:08:28.936
manufactured rivalries overseen by

00:08:28.936 --> 00:08:30.456
a heavily militarized state,

00:08:30.456 --> 00:08:32.164
itself beholden to a powerful

00:08:32.164 --> 00:08:33.479
corporate oligarchy.

00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:35.733
From the cola wars waged between

00:08:35.733 --> 00:08:36.910
Coke and Pepsi,

00:08:36.910 --> 00:08:38.466
to the manufactured cultural divisions

00:08:38.466 --> 00:08:40.533
of so-called Red and Blue states,

00:08:40.533 --> 00:08:42.244
liberals versus conservatives,

00:08:42.244 --> 00:08:44.246
Wall Street versus Main Street,

00:08:44.246 --> 00:08:46.205
team Edward versus team Jacob,

00:08:46.205 --> 00:08:47.543
Good versus Evil,

00:08:47.543 --> 00:08:49.019
or just us versus them,

00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:50.846
Americans love nothing more than

00:08:50.846 --> 00:08:52.394
to root for their side,

00:08:52.394 --> 00:08:54.628
and to shout insults and heap scorn

00:08:54.628 --> 00:08:57.438
at their opponents - real or perceived.

00:08:57.438 --> 00:08:58.934
You're in big trouble though pal.

00:08:58.934 --> 00:09:00.082
I eat pieces of shit like you

00:09:00.082 --> 00:09:01.223
for breakfast.

00:09:01.223 --> 00:09:03.295
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

00:09:04.815 --> 00:09:05.805
No!

00:09:05.805 --> 00:09:08.291
After all, this is a country where

00:09:08.291 --> 00:09:10.568
every year, thousands of otherwise

00:09:10.568 --> 00:09:12.393
normal fucking people dress up in historic

00:09:12.393 --> 00:09:14.833
military regalia, and recreate

00:09:14.833 --> 00:09:17.193
specific battles from a Civil War

00:09:17.193 --> 00:09:18.460
that ended a hundred years before

00:09:18.460 --> 00:09:19.804
they were fucking born.

00:09:19.804 --> 00:09:22.692
You have a gun. Don't ever point a gun...

00:09:22.692 --> 00:09:23.832
this is like a loaded gun.

00:09:23.832 --> 00:09:25.991
You have a loaded gun.

00:09:25.991 --> 00:09:28.185
So you never ever point it at anybody.

00:09:29.105 --> 00:09:30.708
I was gonna... reenact the Dick Cheney

00:09:30.708 --> 00:09:32.420
quail accident.

00:09:32.420 --> 00:09:35.136
Buuuuuuuut while the nation has always

00:09:35.136 --> 00:09:36.690
been big on its manufactured binaries,

00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:38.844
in recent months it has reached levels

00:09:38.844 --> 00:09:41.157
of polarization not seen in decades,

00:09:41.157 --> 00:09:43.321
with both sides hardening their positions

00:09:43.321 --> 00:09:45.641
and preparing their forces for war.

00:09:45.641 --> 00:09:48.569
Revolution has come.... OFF THE PIGS!

00:09:48.569 --> 00:09:51.462
Time to pick up a gun.... OFF THE PIGS!

00:09:51.462 --> 00:09:53.785
And as has often been the case

00:09:53.785 --> 00:09:55.374
in its sordid fucking history,

00:09:55.374 --> 00:09:57.282
one of the biggest, and most

00:09:57.282 --> 00:09:59.105
emotionally charged faultlines in

00:09:59.105 --> 00:10:01.921
the United Snakes is its racial divide...

00:10:01.921 --> 00:10:03.507
and the white supremacist values

00:10:03.507 --> 00:10:04.429
that underpin it.

00:10:04.429 --> 00:10:05.330
And a lotta white guys....

00:10:05.330 --> 00:10:06.767
"Hey man, that's not fair.

00:10:06.767 --> 00:10:08.229
You can say whatever you want...

00:10:08.229 --> 00:10:10.020
You can say nigger!"

00:10:10.020 --> 00:10:12.301
Yeah.... when I last checked that was the

00:10:12.301 --> 00:10:16.169
only advantage I had to being Black.

00:10:17.429 --> 00:10:19.910
You wanna switch places?

00:10:19.910 --> 00:10:21.420
You scream nigger, and I'll raise

00:10:21.420 --> 00:10:22.520
interest rates.

00:10:22.520 --> 00:10:24.102
And while the question of race is

00:10:24.102 --> 00:10:26.415
not entirely a black versus white affair,

00:10:26.415 --> 00:10:29.271
there is a rapidly shrinking grey area.

00:10:29.271 --> 00:10:31.425
In today's racially charged political

00:10:31.425 --> 00:10:33.712
atmosphere, it's becoming increasingly

00:10:33.712 --> 00:10:36.154
unacceptable to not pick a side.

00:10:36.154 --> 00:10:37.299
You either support

00:10:37.299 --> 00:10:38.756
Black and Brown Liberation,

00:10:38.756 --> 00:10:40.600
an end to racist police terror

00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:41.657
and mass incarceration,

00:10:41.657 --> 00:10:42.873
or you support White Pride,

00:10:42.873 --> 00:10:44.338
rock confederate flags and

00:10:44.338 --> 00:10:45.884
Blue Lives Matter bumper-stickers

00:10:45.884 --> 00:10:47.753
and believe that so-called minorities

00:10:47.753 --> 00:10:50.308
demanding social equality are either

00:10:50.308 --> 00:10:52.732
whiners, criminals, thugs or terrorists.


00:10:52.732 --> 00:10:53.588
BOO!

00:10:53.588 --> 00:10:55.528
In today's Post-Ferguson America,

00:10:55.528 --> 00:10:57.726
the resurgence of Black-led resistance

00:10:57.726 --> 00:10:59.662
to police terror has led to

00:10:59.662 --> 00:11:01.177
a countervailing movement of

00:11:01.177 --> 00:11:03.537
reactionary white supremacist violence.

00:11:03.537 --> 00:11:05.090
The racially motivated mass shootings

00:11:05.090 --> 00:11:06.555
in Charleston, South Carolina led to

00:11:06.555 --> 00:11:09.851
a spate of direct actions, and calls to

00:11:09.851 --> 00:11:11.561
remove these racist fucks' cherished

00:11:11.561 --> 00:11:13.546
Confederate Flag from state courts,

00:11:13.546 --> 00:11:14.898
parks and legislatures,

00:11:14.898 --> 00:11:17.205
which in turn helped sparked a resurgence

00:11:17.205 --> 00:11:19.202
of the bed-sheet wearing champions

00:11:19.202 --> 00:11:20.952
of American racism...

00:11:20.952 --> 00:11:22.823
the Klu Klux fucking Klan!


00:11:22.823 --> 00:11:25.625
America's at war with Al Qaeda!

00:11:25.625 --> 00:11:27.656
But we're still losing the war

00:11:27.656 --> 00:11:29.072
against Al Sharpton!

00:11:30.472 --> 00:11:32.367
Since then, the Klan has tried

00:11:32.367 --> 00:11:34.006
on several attempts to mobilize

00:11:34.006 --> 00:11:34.981
their followers,

00:11:34.981 --> 00:11:36.647
provoking counter-demonstrations

00:11:36.647 --> 00:11:38.766
by anti-racist militants in Columbia,

00:11:38.766 --> 00:11:40.356
the Pacific Northwest,

00:11:40.356 --> 00:11:41.452
and Anaheim.

00:11:41.452 --> 00:11:43.818
On Saturday April 23rd they attempted

00:11:43.818 --> 00:11:45.773
to hold a rally at Stone Mountain,

00:11:45.773 --> 00:11:47.984
on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia.

00:11:47.984 --> 00:11:49.297
All these niggas are instruments of

00:11:49.297 --> 00:11:50.078
white supremacy.

00:11:50.078 --> 00:11:51.867
They get paid if we go to jail.

00:11:51.867 --> 00:11:53.651
They get paid if we go to the grave.

00:11:53.651 --> 00:11:55.115
They about to get paid for

00:11:55.115 --> 00:11:57.435
being out here to whip our ass right now.

00:11:57.435 --> 00:11:58.940
When in every Black community,

00:11:58.940 --> 00:12:00.239
three or more in a crowd....

00:12:00.239 --> 00:12:02.069
they lockin' us up sayin' we're a gang.

00:12:02.069 --> 00:12:04.003
They protect white supremacy. Why is that?

00:12:04.003 --> 00:12:05.890
So... to find out what went down,

00:12:05.890 --> 00:12:07.599
I recently caught up with Paul,

00:12:07.599 --> 00:12:09.500
an anarchist and organizer with

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:10.763
All Out Atlanta.


00:12:10.763 --> 00:12:12.882
Hey Paul... how the fuck ya?

00:12:12.882 --> 00:12:13.899
I'm doing good.

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:16.461
So... what the fuck went down on the 23rd?

00:12:16.461 --> 00:12:19.958
Potentially 400-500 people came to

00:12:19.958 --> 00:12:22.598
shut down the Rock Stone Mountain

00:12:22.598 --> 00:12:24.799
mobilization... which was organized by

00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.708
the Klu Klux Klan, Aryan Nation,

00:12:28.708 --> 00:12:32.456
some kind of neo-confederate groups....

00:12:32.456 --> 00:12:33.964
and yeah, lots of different

00:12:33.964 --> 00:12:35.302
organizing groups threw down

00:12:35.302 --> 00:12:36.431
against an I dunno, fascist police

00:12:36.431 --> 00:12:39.043
erected barricades... set them on fire

00:12:39.043 --> 00:12:40.910
blocked the main entrance of

00:12:40.910 --> 00:12:42.366
the park at Stone Mountain, where the

00:12:42.366 --> 00:12:44.683
event was happening... and ended up

00:12:44.683 --> 00:12:46.177
really just crushing the event and

00:12:46.177 --> 00:12:47.985
demoralizing the white supremacists'

00:12:47.985 --> 00:12:48.953
event.

00:12:48.953 --> 00:12:50.622
So it was a real success.

00:12:50.622 --> 00:12:53.280
You are a member of All Out Atlanta,

00:12:53.280 --> 00:12:55.559
the coalition who came together to chase

00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:57.227
the Klan out of Stone Mountain.

00:12:57.227 --> 00:12:58.559
What can you tell us about how

00:12:58.559 --> 00:12:59.667
this group is structured,

00:12:59.667 --> 00:13:01.088
and how the organizing for

00:13:01.088 --> 00:13:02.473
this convergence took place?

00:13:02.473 --> 00:13:05.482
All Out Atlanta is a kind of

00:13:05.482 --> 00:13:08.449
semi-formal kind of organizing initiative

00:13:08.449 --> 00:13:10.400
that wasn't necessarily bound together

00:13:10.400 --> 00:13:12.271
politically, but is organized around

00:13:12.271 --> 00:13:14.148
kind of some ethical principles

00:13:14.148 --> 00:13:15.900
about like, how they think things should

00:13:15.900 --> 00:13:17.976
be done, and those are listed prominently

00:13:17.976 --> 00:13:20.217
on AllOutAtl.com.

00:13:20.217 --> 00:13:23.096
It's just a group that had formed in

00:13:23.096 --> 00:13:26.350
maybe January of this year, upon the

00:13:26.350 --> 00:13:28.990
announcement that this Rock Stone Mountain

00:13:28.990 --> 00:13:30.791
event, and began meeting.

00:13:30.791 --> 00:13:32.993
Yeah.. just planning for it....

00:13:32.993 --> 00:13:34.133
making decisions together.

00:13:34.133 --> 00:13:36.003
There's no representatives or leadership

00:13:36.003 --> 00:13:38.610
apparatus for AllOutAtl...

00:13:38.610 --> 00:13:41.829
It's just normal people brought from

00:13:41.829 --> 00:13:43.580
some different walks of life, who

00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:45.158
came together to militantly oppose

00:13:45.158 --> 00:13:47.165
this event, and do whatever it takes

00:13:47.165 --> 00:13:48.385
to make sure it couldn't happen.

00:13:48.385 --> 00:13:51.154
Why do the KKK, and white reactionaries

00:13:51.154 --> 00:13:53.338
in general have such a fascination with

00:13:53.338 --> 00:13:54.568
Stone Mountain?

00:13:54.568 --> 00:13:56.299
Seems like there's a bit of history there.

00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:59.150
Stone Mountain is the birthplace

00:13:59.150 --> 00:14:02.396
of the kind of neo-Klu Klux Klan

00:14:02.396 --> 00:14:03.654
in the 20s.

00:14:03.654 --> 00:14:06.470
So post-Reconstruction... and so it's

00:14:06.470 --> 00:14:08.422
a really important place for them because

00:14:08.422 --> 00:14:11.592
they feel like it represents a type of

00:14:11.592 --> 00:14:14.554
continuity that they lack otherwise,

00:14:14.554 --> 00:14:16.590
being that they've been so obliterated

00:14:16.590 --> 00:14:19.822
over the past several decades as

00:14:19.822 --> 00:14:21.182
an organized faction.

00:14:21.182 --> 00:14:22.696
So they wanna reclaim this area,

00:14:22.696 --> 00:14:24.814
partially it's because it's a super

00:14:24.814 --> 00:14:27.818
not a majority-white area anymore.

00:14:27.818 --> 00:14:30.829
And they're trying to regain some sense of

00:14:30.829 --> 00:14:32.816
continuity I guess.

00:14:32.816 --> 00:14:34.729
The past few years has seen a resurgence

00:14:34.729 --> 00:14:36.673
of white supremacist reaction,

00:14:36.673 --> 00:14:38.842
both in Europe and the United Snakes.

00:14:38.842 --> 00:14:40.593
Why do you think this is happening?

00:14:40.593 --> 00:14:42.213
And what are some of the similarities

00:14:42.213 --> 00:14:43.442
and differences in terms of how

00:14:43.442 --> 00:14:44.743
this shit is playing out

00:14:44.743 --> 00:14:46.235
in different parts of the world?

00:14:46.235 --> 00:14:49.619
I do think a lot of why this is happening

00:14:49.619 --> 00:14:52.997
in Europe and places like Greece,

00:14:52.997 --> 00:14:55.150
and Hungary, and Germany, and Austria,

00:14:55.150 --> 00:14:57.921
also in the US.. is because generally

00:14:57.921 --> 00:14:59.673
the institutions which once gave

00:14:59.673 --> 00:15:02.807
stable meaning for life are collapsing.

00:15:02.807 --> 00:15:05.910
The stable positions in the economy,

00:15:05.910 --> 00:15:09.082
kind of different citizen rights,

00:15:09.082 --> 00:15:11.845
a kind of social democracy, or welfare,

00:15:11.845 --> 00:15:13.348
Any state of stable identity is, I think

00:15:13.348 --> 00:15:16.356
really being challenged and there's

00:15:16.356 --> 00:15:18.339
kind of a global identitarian movement

00:15:18.339 --> 00:15:20.422
that's taking different shapes.

00:15:20.422 --> 00:15:22.739
That's trying to reconstitute the old

00:15:22.739 --> 00:15:23.837
forms of power.

00:15:23.837 --> 00:15:26.068
Most of the west... I mean in really all

00:15:26.068 --> 00:15:27.330
of the west... that is white power.

00:15:27.330 --> 00:15:28.672
That's white supremacy.

00:15:28.672 --> 00:15:30.587
We've seen a number of countermobilization

00:15:30.587 --> 00:15:32.459
in recent months responding to attempts

00:15:32.459 --> 00:15:34.410
by white supremacist groups to hold

00:15:34.410 --> 00:15:35.711
public rallies.

00:15:35.711 --> 00:15:37.410
In some ways this type of

00:15:37.410 --> 00:15:39.158
convergence model is similar to what

00:15:39.158 --> 00:15:40.909
we witnessed during the heyday of

00:15:40.909 --> 00:15:42.425
the anti-globalization movement.

00:15:42.425 --> 00:15:43.720
What are some of the strengths

00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:45.643
and potential drawbacks that you see

00:15:45.643 --> 00:15:47.640
coming with this type of organizing model?

00:15:47.640 --> 00:15:49.622
I think some of the strengths are

00:15:49.622 --> 00:15:50.860
pretty obvious.

00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:55.451
You can get a large number of people

00:15:55.451 --> 00:15:56.998
together to fight a common enemy.

00:15:56.998 --> 00:16:00.851
In places like Columbia, South Carolina,

00:16:00.851 --> 00:16:06.324
like Georgia, Anaheim, Olympia, wherever.

00:16:06.364 --> 00:16:09.380
And this way you can have,

00:16:09.380 --> 00:16:11.990
the largest, most fierce resistance

00:16:11.990 --> 00:16:14.098
to the police... to the Klan,

00:16:14.098 --> 00:16:16.299
neo-nazis, whoever... Trump.. whatever,

00:16:16.299 --> 00:16:17.154
his supporters.

00:16:17.154 --> 00:16:19.067
So the drawback could have questioned

00:16:19.067 --> 00:16:21.992
the oppression. The conspiracy charge

00:16:21.992 --> 00:16:25.249
that usually people are unable to drag

00:16:25.249 --> 00:16:29.831
the type of power that they experience

00:16:29.831 --> 00:16:32.925
in these convergence settings back into

00:16:32.925 --> 00:16:35.687
they daily life... then the movement would

00:16:35.687 --> 00:16:37.766
just be sucked back into politics

00:16:37.766 --> 00:16:40.409
because the powerful are the ones who act.

00:16:40.409 --> 00:16:42.683
Threatening the brigade, and like that's

00:16:42.683 --> 00:16:45.041
really how it is that we need to be

00:16:45.041 --> 00:16:46.211
thinking about.

00:16:46.211 --> 00:16:47.643
And I suppose that any protests

00:16:47.643 --> 00:16:49.272
runs that same risk....

00:16:49.272 --> 00:16:50.698
not just convergences.

00:16:50.698 --> 00:16:52.282
Thanks Paul... and

00:16:52.282 --> 00:16:53.787
that about does it for this sedition of

00:16:53.787 --> 00:16:55.495
It’s the End of the World as we Know

00:16:55.495 --> 00:16:56.552
it and I Feel Fine.

00:16:56.552 --> 00:16:58.506
With that said we wanted to ask:

00:16:58.506 --> 00:17:00.584
do you have a camera, computer

00:17:00.584 --> 00:17:02.370
and Internet connection?

00:17:02.370 --> 00:17:04.372
Can you shoot, edit and upload videos

00:17:04.372 --> 00:17:05.385
with the quickness?

00:17:05.385 --> 00:17:06.981
Do you love adventure and the thrill of

00:17:06.981 --> 00:17:08.526
videotaping burning cop cars?

00:17:08.526 --> 00:17:11.049
