After a viral backlash today SEPTA says it will no longer enforce a policy requiring riders to wear facial coverings after a widely shared video showing a Black man being dragged off a bus by a group of white cops, allegedly for not wearing one, prompted confusion about whether masks were mandatory while riding public transit.

The system as a whole must be anchored by a non-voluntary intervention, a harm that the state can impose regardless of the individual’s choices. That anchor is provided by physical force.”

It states, “demockery” is “a spectacle of the true nature of democracy.” Democracy is “Dictatorship camouflaged as freedom. . . next to "monetized debt," and direct taxation (on labor) it is the biggest con-game perpetrated on a population. Democracy has proved only that the best way to gain and sustain power over people is to assure the people that they are ruling themselves. Once they believe that lie, they make wonderfully submissive and self-maintained slaves.” [MORE]
