Scene from the movie Grapes of Wrath where Muley is told that his land is being taken. He asks "who is taking it" and wants to know "Who to Shoot" to stop them.
Everybody goes to the 'for every cop beatin' on a guy . . ' clip but I think this is equal to it. It a bit I keep going back to because of its continued relevance to so many issues of land and rights today.
Here we are in 2022 and the grinding of the poor goes on . Gas at almost 4:00 dollars … food sky high … heat and and medicine and health insurance so high . Horrible Jesus look upon us and help us . In Jesus Name
I'm right here to tell you, mister: There ain't nobody gonna push me off my land! My grandpa took up this land 70 years ago! My pa was born here. We was all born on it! And some of us was killed on it! And some of us died on it. That's what makes it our'n. Being born on it... ...and working on it... ...and dying. Dying on it! And not no piece of paper with writing on it.
There's that terribly painful anger. The anger of the entire world being wrong, and nothing you could ever do will right it. It's the most awful feeling, of knowing nothing you do will make a difference, even if it's your own life. It's slavery by another name.
My high school summer school teacher showed us this and it had a more lasting impact than anything the coach they hired to grade papers in the regular state history class ever did.
As relevant now as it was then.
About as powerful of a scene as ever filmed.
Who do we shoot? The exact same people now as then.

"If Muley can do it then I can do it....I'm twice the man Muley is......"
“Who do we shoot’’ The most powerful words ever

Nobody owns a land, only the great creator owns the land, and he will never evict you.
Way to not get the last 10 seconds of that monologue

Basically how grandma got edged off over the subsoil rights.
Thank you! Was trying to find this. :)
America should have never abandoned Hemp for Victory.
I never heard of this before Augustus Invictus.

This is where some smug Liberal says "learn to code, Muley!" and giggles in a condescending way. (until it's THEY who have to "learn to code...")
why a "Liberal"? a capitalist from any political party will do just fine

A spectacular clip ............... Thank YOU
"La tierra pertenece a quien la trabaja" - The land belongs to whoever works it. Famous slogan of Emiliano Zapata.
