Capitalist elite want us to be divided. We get so much media coverage showing different groups of people to hate, supposed 'villians' based on our skin color, genitals, who we have sex with or marry, what role we were assigned in society, and what side of political lines we were born on. We are all people. There are no inherently good or bad people and by putting people in a group to prejudge, isolate, and hate them, that only further divides us from each other and weakens our ability to support one another as communities.
One important example I've been seeing is villianizing all cops and grouping every single cop together as all bastards. In reality, cops are humans just like us and whether they are a bastard or not depends on what they do, the literal actions they take, NOT the fact that they are a cop in the first place. If a cop is being abusive and harassing or assaulting someone or standing by and watching another cop do it, then yes they are being a bastard. But if a cop is just writing a report for a car accident that happened and blocking off part of the road to prevent further collisions, then the cop isn't being a bastard just because they are a cop. There's a difference between being angry and speaking up about injustices and protecting yourself and others from being abused by cops versus just being hateful to any cop you see and perpetuating the message that all cops are bastards.
No one should be scapegoated for the wrongdoings and atrocities of others.
Another example I have seen from growing up as a minority is hate towards white people. I've seen black and brown people fall into the trap of hating white people and pegging them all as white supremacists. The racial hate runs so deep that within minority families and communities, there is a lot of colorism which is placing people within a made up hierarchy based on percentages of how mixed (multiracial) they are, how light or dark they are, and what texture their hair is. This hate causes people to abuse their own family members and isolate them in the same way the capitalist system does to everyone who is not a member of the capitalist elite.
We need to stop doing the dirty work of the capitalist elite for them by hating, abusing, and slandering people who are already fucked by the capitalist elite. Instead, they need to be told the truth that they can empower themselves and stop feeding the capitalist machine.
Cops need anarchy, white people need anarchy, colored people need anarchy, gay people need anarchy, straight people need anarchy, old people need anarchy, young people need anarchy, red necks need anarchy, people living on welfare need anarchy, homeless people need anarchy, people paying for their mortgage need anarchy, people on the eastern hemisphere need anarchy, people on the western hemisphere need anarchy, people who live in cars need anarchy. The workers need anarchy. The unemployed need anarchy. Everyone needs anarchy. Even the elite class that is currently destroying the world needs anarchy because there won't be any world left to destroy pretty soon. Everyone needs to stop feeding the capitalist system. Everyone needs to liberate themselves. Everyone needs anarchy.
ANARCHY FOR EVERYONE
