The likes of CNN and Foxnews paint the police as a noble force protecting us all.

David Graeber explains what the police are really about.

Salon - Techspressionism

Techspressionist Salons were conceived as a modern counterpart to the Surrealist salons of the 1920’s, in which artists could meet to discuss ideas.

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

Hopelessness is manufactured.

"All over the place, from popular
culture to the propaganda system,
there is constant pressure to make
people feel that they are helpless,
that the only role they can have
is to ratify decisions and to
consume."

It is worth remembering that some of the most essential people in the economy are often very badly paid and generally treated with arbitrariness and disrespect.

"The cleaners at my current university, are treated very badly. As in
most universities these days, their work has been outsourced and are
employed not directly by the school but by an agency, the name
of which is emblazoned on the purple uniforms they wear.
.
They are paid little, obliged to work with dangerous chemicals that
often damage their hands or otherwise force them to have to take time
off to recover (for which time they are not compensated), and generally
treated with arbitrariness and disrespect.
.
There is no particular reason that cleaners have to be treated in such
an abusive fashion. But at the very least, they take some pride in
knowing and, in fact, I can attest, for the most part do take pride in
knowing that buildings do need to be cleaned, and, therefore, without
them, the business of the university could not go on."
