    If we riot, we lose our jobs. If we lose our jobs, we lose our health insurance. If we lose our health insurance, then we’ll go bankrupt when the police shoot us with less lethals in the face. We don’t know who we can trust to stand with us because we don’t have those small but powerful institutions like unions. And even when we do, unions can’t do general strikes or even solidarity strikes lest they lose their ability to exist.
