>>11828644>Taking advantage of a crisis to institute authoritarianism is an age-old tactic, a crisis alone doesn't warrant drastic action like that.Less taking advantage and more preventing harm. People tend to disagree on the motives of the gov't in this instance, but I think it's reasonable to assume that these actions are better for the community, even if it means the Mom and Pop shop has to be closed for a month or two. Hardly gov't tyranny imo
>big corporations weren't held to the same standard and were allowed to operate. I completely agree; it's unfair. But at the same time, United closes and thousands are out of jobs. Mom and Pop shop closes and 3 people lose their jobs. It's unfair for a reason. Ideally, everyone could get bail outs, but that's not the case.
>You're saying it's fine that tons more people die in these protests because people also get roughed up while being arrested?No. Hence why I'm not protesting.
>You couldn't pick a better time than the middle of pandemic that you SWEAR is the biggest thing ever to do this?Tell me about it. It was an untimely situation that, with media over-exposition, was enough to stir thousands to take to the streets. I think the pandemic made it more opportune if anything, because everyone has cabin fever. Young people don't seem to feel threatened by COVID.
>Yes, the people who put 100x more emphasis on the occasional, isolated police killing than the real violence plaguing their communities and killing tons more of their lives.You're minimizing the protests here, because they're about more than just police killings.
>The truth is that modern progressives are just an inconsistent, chaotic messheap of misplaced priorities.Yeah. And the same can be said about the right - just look at Trump and what he's done to shape the modern conservative
>they see a sad video and take to the streets nothing to do with politics, more to do with media manipulation and gullible people
