The Unemployed Have the Right to Make Themselves Obnoxiously Visible

[SoDesuKa]

Municipalities got rid of the homeless problem by making the homeless invisible. Now the unemployed are joining with the homeless to become visible, obnoxious and noisy. Nothing good will come of efforts to suppress this movement because unlike the homeless, the unemployed can't be "disappeared."

A winner-take-all society and a democratic society can't coexist in the same social space. Turning our free society over to the police undermines the social contract. Nothing good will come of efforts to make the unemployed get out of our faces. This is only going to lead to escalation.

1. We must pass through all sorts of tests as individuals

Our governments have to pass tests on a regular basis as well.

Elections and protests are the America way to test the integrity of our Constitution.

When mayors and governors and cops get ugly and violent toward non-violent protesters, they fail their greatest test.

doing everything (s)he can to stop you from getting one?
