    The pessimist in me foresees this whole movement bogging down into semantics and liberal tone policing until people forget and the opportunity to make any real progress is passed.

      Yeah I think there will be another good push this summer and then it will die down to a simmer for a decade or so until shit really hits the fan. We're Russia 1906 now, there's going to be the illusion of good things happening for a bit until they pull the rug out from under us

        Russia 1906

        Don't we need to have forced significant-but-insufficient reforms before we can claim a 1905 parallel?

        I personally doubt we'll make it that many months until some other shithead shoots up a Mosque or a black church or a gay night club, or a Latin American event, etc, and the news cycle rotates to covering that.

          Oh the rise of our very own version of the black hundreds is definitely part of this process. Leftist organizing is also going to get much more dangerous. Stay safe out there
