I think the American population is too Brandonized right now for more major social unrest. Maybe in a couple years after Biden goes. But we can always hope :brick-police:
Yeah there’s also no major lockdown making people insane and restive to boil over. There will never be another protest like 2020 in the USA until lived conditions seriously deteriorate to the level that many people faced during the pandemic
Idealists and Liberals like to think protests are based on principles and specific events. George Floyd’s death could happen today and it would barely make the news. There was nothing particular about that specific incident that lead to the biggest protests in decades, it was just the spark that lit the gas built up from conditions. Riots and protests aren’t about idealist principles, they are about food, jobs, energy, state violence, etc. It has to be real and felt by a large chunk of the population, not activism
You're probably right but I'm still gonna have hope
Think about it, if some real riots break out under Brandon it will be totally different than what happened under Trump because the democrats won't be able to co-opt the protests or steal any of our energy like they did last time
No performative :liberalism: as a false answer to the people's anger
I don't wanna bum you out, but there have been so many times that DC and the media just flat out ignored bad shit happening or picked the softest version of outrage they cared to address and sated the masses with some dumbshit event like obama and another black man having a beer with a cop.
