    This is how much people want to party and why i no longer think the 2020 was a summer of social upheaval and more a summer of bros and Tracey's mad they couldnt get shit faced in pubic when they wanted to

      Getting shitfaced in public is fun. Lockdowns fucking sucked. This doesn't mean they shouldn't have happened, but I can hardly blame people for getting pissed off about not being able to enjoy basically the only thing there is for groups of adult friends to do together.

        Of all the injustices that year. People rioted cuz they couldn't get tilted. That's the state of America. Pretty sad imo.

          It is sad, but you're framing it as a moral failing, when in fact it's a bit more complex than that.

          I'm from a country where we actually did lock down fully for months at a time, and the isolation had a huge negative effect on most people, myself included.

          To act as though they were just mindless frat bros and "Traceys" is missing a lot of context. Also, there were plenty of people who did go into the streets to protest police injustice that year too. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, other than what we already all know on this site.

            I know it's a bunch of bros and Tracey's cuz i know a bunch of them that went to the protests. Many cuz it was really the only thing you could do. And now they are all back to festival life. Many of them never cared about politics before being locked down.

            What happened to police injustice? It's not a thing any more. People don't care. Why is that? It's cuz they can go out now and are back to bread and circuses. We just had 19 police officers waiting out side a school for an hour while 11 year olds got slaughtered. People have moved on from acab.

            It's hard to accept that. But it wasn't an uprising. It was just masses of bored frustrated people going out. It didn't lead to anything. It was consumers not being able to do the only hobby they have. Which is to buy shit.

            Believe me. I was hyped and ready for the uprising. I thought people where finally doing it. We where finally going to change shit for the better

            2 years later it's pretty clear that i was very wrong. My posts from back than aged horrible. People just wanted to get drunk and eat out. And once that was back on the menu everything calmed down.
