Re: <nettime> Not One

True with respect to Tienanmin, but Mao was a believer that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. He sent in the army in 1967 to end the “cultural revolution” he had begun. The reference to Andrew Jackson, for those not familiar with some of the intricacies of US History refers to his refusal to abide by a Supreme Court ruling rejecting the enforcement of Georgia laws on the Seminole People, among other violations of the Constitution in favor of the use of military force.

As long as we're on the issue of how the US is perceived, how homogenous or heterogeneous it is, &ct, I think it's not such a small thing to correctly note a detail about an event (the '89 social movement) that fundamentally shook a country with almost twice the population of the US and the EU combined, and produced world-changing economic and ecological repercussions.

The point is: we, as citizens of the United States, have a responsibility to cut off the link between Trump and the Army and the Supreme Court as soon as possible and the most direct route at the moment is the election in a month. Maybe Covid will help in its own special way, if roid-rage doesn't buoy Trump up until the election.
