it was a weak pandemic and the usual quarter century dnc riots. i mean maybe there will be a big boy pandemic and significant riots soon but so far its the same as usual with additional hype b/c social media

>...have pushed this BlackLivesMatter movement around the world in an effort to stabilize American progressive hegemony.
Pol. How fucking stupid do you have to be—
You’re trolling with this?

>>15511148
True. This is just a start.

>>15511199
Do you talk to normies? Do you have family around the world? Every person in every corner in the world is doing this fucking #Blackout shit just because it was sponsored by corporations and social media figures as a psyop. You cannot tell me in earnest that the death of one American should elicit more worldwide solidarity and outrage, accentuated by capital, than any other issue plaguing society like climate change or wealth inequality. You never see this kind of mobilization unless someone is pushing it.

The good thing about this is once the west gets in a war with a Russia-China alliance, the ChiComs will 100% not be down with social justice crap because it is obvious to anyone not a brainwashed anarchocommie or liberal that multiculturalism/social justice/intersectionality is an excellent way to divide and conquer the population not only domestically but also as a way to run color revolutions in other countries. Going to be hilarious if the Chinese take over and just start shooting /lit/ leftists because muh police brutality and muh black people. The ironic thing is that the western non-neocon right wing and centrists will likely be better citizens under chinese communism than the western left lmao.

>Corporations are doing a PR stunt?
>Unheard of!

This isn't all about one person though. This is a systemic failure

>>15511139
No arguments presented, get rekt

>>15511296
>This is a systemic failure
What is?

>>15511308
The police are systemically arresting black people who commit crime, which is unacceptable.

>>15511294
>Chinese aren't socialists or concerned equality

Statism and capitalism. It does not work very well. The people don't like it. They especially don't like it while it fails because it really really hurts them.

>>15511294
>Capitalists will be cool with other capitalists and hunt down lefties
very insightful

>>15511329
china have concentration camps for their muslim minority

>>15511329
You are extremely dumb if you take that as literal. Looking forward to leftism taking over America and watching you true believers get steamrolled by the Russians and Chinese.

>>15511347
Capitalism is a stepping stone to communism, which Xi has said they are on track to circa 2050. Are you worried your woke American communism is going to be destroyed by the Han ethno-communist chads? Reminder that they will round people up like you and put a bullet in your head, like they do to Tibetans. Meanwhile, conservatives will likely roll over, knuckle down, do their jobs, and probably adopt confucianism lol.

>>15511361
>Xinjiang is a concentration camp
Gulag not strong enough? They getting genocided too?
You know the US leads in prisoners by a mile, right?

>>15511374
>Russia and China will invade
>Ever

>>15511381
you don't care about prisoners m8, you care about obtaining power
if you were morally consistent you'd be against both

>>15511296
It's weird seeing leftists acting oblivious and pretending that this is business as usual. I know the NPC meme is done by now but it's almost unnerving, like you're being gaslighted
>"What do you mean, obviously this is world news! Why wouldn't it be, the police was racist and racism kills the world!"
How can you even pretend to be intellectually curious if this is your response? It's a tremendously fascinating event, the hysteria, the corporate response, the effort to control the narrative and make it fit into some story about the valiant struggle against systematic racism

>>15511381
us doesnt have prison camps for its muslim minority lol

>>15511401
I was waiting for a link to some proof, but you just prove that you're a boomer cold war kid

>>15511432
No? They do for the Mexicans at the borders. Kids.
And slave labor counts

>>15511446
Us have detainment centres for illegal immigrants. They don't have reeducation camps for a religious/ethnic minority and you simply can't weasel out of this.

>>15511426
THIS ISN'T BUSINESS AS USUAL! This shit has taken a couple of shots across the bow.
Your conspiracy theory is NUTS. Yes, neoliberalism, capitalists, are trying to maintain control and they're trying to placate here, be inclusive there. You and them both are scared things aren't going back to the way they were.

>>15511374
I'm neither American nor communist and that's not an argument, you are repeating yourself

>>15511459
Waiting for the link

>>15511480
Social media influencers telling white people to purchase NYT books on white privilege and to support corporations that endorse BLM actually is “business as usual.” It’s been our business since 2013 and now it’s become impossible to stop especially with retard leftists like you falling for it. You people are fucking useless as usual

>>15511480
What do you mean "trying to maintain control", they're like pigs in dirt. Adidas has more goodwill than the american government right now. You're the anti-racist sneaker people. I've actually sold some BLM merch, it's funny as fuck to me

>>15511391
russia has no future and should save itself before fucking with other countries

>>15511513
BLM is about police brutality. Cops mess with a lot of people. Everywhere. We don’t like them. They get power mad.
>Muh NYT books
Fuck you. You wanna see business as usual. PR firms are instructing cops to take a knee with protesters. Minutes later they mace them for just standing there. What the actual fuck are you afraid of?

>>15511480
They aren't scared at all. You've been cordycepted by power to think you are fighting power, when you are fighting for power. It's the high (capitalists and elites) using the low (coalition of leftists and blacks) to attack the middle (normies). And yes, things will go back to normal in the sense that they will still be in power after all this is done.

>Life without prejudice, were it ever to be tried, would soon reveal itself to be a life without principle. For prejudices, as we have seen earlier, are often built-in principles. They are the extract which the mind has made of experience.

>Hysterical optimism will prevail until the world again admits the existence of tragedy, and it cannot admit the existence of tragedy until it again distinguishes between good and evil. . . Hysterical optimism as a sin against knowledge.

>>15511513
BLM formed pretty naturally. People have been getting killed by cops for a long time. Cell phones and body cams have only made it more obvious.
