Isn't it strange that this coronavirus is disproportionately killing black people at the same time they are marching and chanting I can't breath for a completely separate reason? A once in a lifetime event,this virus, is coinciding with a media narrative of police brutality? The very act of them congregating en mass will kill more black people than police ever will.
Other side of this coin.
I am behind enemy lines and am in upper middle class white lefty social circles in a big city.
Almost all conversations usually devolve into a leftist bumper sticker slogan after about 5mins anyway, but now with corona, it's all about beating your chest about how much you don't go outside and how long you are willing to stay inside. No joke I have heard someone seriously say, "I just don't see how a wedding can happen in 2021."
I asked how they get their groceries and they all said some sort of delivery service. I pointed out that "hey you know, just because YOU aren't, SOMEONE is still going out and getting those groceries and bringing them all to you,"
They all replied, yeah but at least it ain't me or my family. One said they are putting out candy for the delivery people now. I guess black lives do matter.
This is the first one that really hit me. I won't go so far as to say overarching things are happening, but rather media manipulators are so desperately trying to weave platable narritives so their audience can follow along.
I usually catch surface level fake news, but I feel this is a step up from that.
Where do the slogans come from? Who is deciding who the spokespeople for the movement are
