    “Leaders or governments that respond by using violence are not demonstrating strength or power. Instead, they are paradoxically demonstrating their weakness, because they have lost the population’s voluntary cooperation, obedience, or consent to be governed.” (p. 31) @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social

    From the n-word ➡️ "states' rights" ➡️ attacking interracial marriage. The strategy's evolved, but the goal remains the same. This is how coded racism works.

    Top- Gove Braun- R Indian says it is OK for states to rule on interracial marriagn. Bottom- from Lee Atwater 1981 Interview- You start out in 1954 by saying, “Ni##er, ni##er, ni##er.” By 1968 you can’t say “nig##r”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nigger, nigger.”
