Things aren’t looking great…
It sucks when the state kills people
Wish we could do something about it

Wait… this time they killed WHITE people
This means it could happen to me too?!

    Cheap joke with no added value besides demoralizing and dividing the good side. This is not the way.

      Reflecting on past mistakes isn’t necessarily demoralizing, realizing that this isnt a new thing is good for future analysis. Hopefully everyone will come out too when the following George Floyd gets inevitably murdered

        That’s a bad example precisely because people did come out for George Floyd. What all these cases have in common is video evidence. A next one should not be acceptable, that’s a defeating attitude right there.

          George Floyd was famously a movement for Black Lives Matter, and there was no suggestion of general strike

            There was also no absolute systemic instability at that point. the seeds of it were there, but there was still hope to change the system.
