It’s people made desperate by hyper-individualistic vulture capitalism. People in desperate need of health care for their ailing family members. People desperate to put food in their children mouths. People desperate to pay of their school loans.
I’ve done ICE watch, lived in a city with a heavy police presence, and been in the military. Sure, there are idiots, abusers, and fascists. But the majority are people from marginalized communities looking for their come up in capitalism, or “doing what they gotta do for them and theirs”. The sad reality is the machinery of capitalism turns by the force of the dispossessed more so than any other group. They don’t call it a system of contradictions for nothin’.
You should be thankful to have the privilege of not having to throw your body against the machinery of capitalism, and use that to build networks of mutual aid that provide the means to circumvent this awful system. Until we can provide that, the machinery will continue to turn.
That’s not it either.

It might not be just that, but it is literally that too.
