It is so fucking disheartening to look at my Instagram feed and see every single story from almost every single high school and college friend (basically, anyone I’ve ever known, really) talking about “microcolorism” and “black lives” and what to wear to a protest. Then you have Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish and whatnot, and pretty much anyone I follow that I don’t personally know. Then every celebrity bailing out rioters. Even people I thought were based are doing it. Have all these people always been cucked?
As far as I can tell from the data, there’s no evidence that black people suffer any more from police brutality than anyone else relative to how often they are arrested for a crime (4 to 8 times the rate of any other race). If anyone finds anything to the contrary, let me know so maybe I can understand these people coming out of the woodworks to support this, something I don’t understand right now. If not, then every person in my life is apparently blind sheep, and how do you defeat something like that? Something that has conquered apparently 90% of the people I know and grew up with?
It’s fucking lonely and stressful rn.
Oh, it's much worse than that. The actual stats show that when the seriousness of the suspect's behavior is controlled for, black suspects are actually MUCH less likely to be mistreated. This is actually very predictable, it is the inevitable response to a situation where police officers know that mistreating a black suspect could destroy their entire lives, but mistreating a suspect from any other group is likely to have no consequences.
Do you have any good sources I can cite for that? Not that these people will listen to reason. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.
Bro they do it for social media likes it’s disgusting. It’s so much easier so accept some big simple idea than understand all the nuances. People are sheep and easily manipulated. I literally had a girl on FB say today “it’s based on my personal feelings not statistics of studies” LOL WHAT
Is there something we can do to stem this tide? These people who act with their feelings instead of the facts. If you don’t think about it and you’re not exposed to the inside of some walls that are now branded “racist” and that you are psychologically discouraged from peering into (such as crime statistics), then the default position one will acquire is emotional, blind leftism.
I’m a legal immigrant and I love this country (or at least what it’s supposed to be, and seemed like it was when I arrived as a teen in 2002) and now I’m finding myself wondering what the fuck I got myself into. It’s looking like a damn third world country with these looting animals and false victimhood. I used to be leftist too, but I had some principles, so it’s just maddening to see this. I’m sure the Founding Fathers were leftist according to some people then. I’m whatever they are. Be that “conservative” or not.
100% with you. People on this site say we are winning and people are being redpilled. But all I see on social media, whether it is IG, Tiktok, Facebook is about: a) supporting BLM and Antifa b) giving money to bailout funds for protesters c) police brutality d) fight against racism. if you are neutral then you are part of the problem. Heck even IG pages about photography and travel are joining the bandwagon.
I think one way to stem is to call them out for their implicit support for these lawless acts. All of them are quick to jump on "anti-racism" bandwagon but not 1 of them at least post anything against violence. Most of these social media influencers do not see the violence as it is being controlled or limited by media. Instead they see peaceful protests being broken up by police.
I have unfollowed mosts of these social media influencers. If their follower count drops by half, they will notice.
I’m there too, today I went through my Instagram stories and unfollowed every single person that posted a picture of MLK. Yes, I’m sure MLK loves the fact that so many of his people now commit crimes at an astronomical rate, and then people try to attest the fact that they’re inevitably arrested more and thus face more (disgusting when it happens) police brutality to... racism?
I can understand them in that they would be okay with justified “violence” to get their ends (the tree of liberty is something we know full well here as well). But the fact that they have so readily accepted the very weak justification of these protests... Forget the joggers, they love victimizing themselves.
I have an 11 year old cousin with non-English-speaking and she’s already talking about how Trump is the worst, and so-and-so YouTuber is racist, and another one is problematic and sexist. It’s not her parents. Where is she hearing these views? I’ve been purposefully cut off from the leftosphere since 2016, when I stopped being a SJW.
sounds like you need new friends. It's not healthy to be surrounded by a bunch of smooth brain retards.
I don’t think I’ve had any non-woke friends, judging from my social media. I don’t even know where you’d meet people like that lol.
