The State 🤝 Capital interests = Fascism.
The bill titled Enhancing State Energy Security Planning and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2021, would create a federal law that weaponizes and mobilizes state AND private security forces against native water/land protectors. It opens up a direct avenue for states to accept and solicit private funding from anyone (including any private corporation) to protect their investments under the guise of creating “energy security plans” which includes any “critical” infrastructure. This also opens the door to payment of private security forces by the state. This is a fucking horrifying real time descent into fascism.

The biggest challeneg to mounting any kind of meaningful resistance to this is that it just doesn't immediately affect enough people. Most people (especially white people) in big cities won't care. Suburbanites definitely won't care. Small settler farmers might care if the pipes leak on "their" land, but I have a hard time seeing the potatoes willingly jump in their sack to fight this as a unified class.
You need a critical mass of people willing to bodily oppose this construction in order to stop it, and I have no idea where that mass will come from.
