I have no attachment to Minneapolis.

Yes, there are a lot of Swedes in Minneapolis, or were.

I think they've left.

But I saw this for what it was.

And I was so bothered by it that I actually went to the convenience store where George Floyd tried to pass the phony $20 bill and went to the site where he was killed and wandered all around by myself.

I literally landed there, went by myself, didn't do a story on it or anything.

I just want to see it.

And what I saw was what I expected to see a year later.

It was a year after it happened.

In 2021, I went and I saw a place that had never recovered and never would recover.

And that, to me, was proof of what I suspected, which was the point was destruction.

The point was not rebirth.

They always tell you it's rebirth.

We need to tear it down in order to rebuild it.

They never rebuild it because they don't want to, because that's not the point.

And people who want to build, just go ahead and build.

And people who want to destroy, go ahead and destroy.

And they're in totally different camps.

They're on opposing sides.

it's literally that simple anyone who tells you we need to knock it down in order to build it again is lying to you and probably to himself he may think that that's not his goal his goal is to destroy because satan's job is to destroy you and everything around you everything good everything beautiful everything orderly everything warm and loving and fraternal everything honest is to destroy destroyed loyalty destroy beauty all the things that are virtues will be destroyed in that all-consuming fire of destruction
