I don’t think people outside the country realize how much the establishment and the right wants violent demonstrations. That’s what they’ve been trained for and what they’re salivating for. We have a lot of experience with the entire machine pivoting on a dime to turn a single dumpster on fire into an apocalyptic event that justifies any and all violence against the protestors. Just look back at the coverage in 2020 to see just how absolutely bloodthirsty the establishment is.
And you know what the wildest thing is? Even without something that the news can paint as “violent riots burning the cities down”, they shot and killed so many people and have done such casual atrocities, that people aren’t on board with. I saw a clip of news casters talking with glee about how exciting the election season will be, because the violence has push people away from the establishment and the right.
So, maybe we are all kinda holding our breath while finding ways of fighting back that don’t immediately being the force of the U.S. Government down upon our communities’ heads, and maybe that makes for worse television, but I’m not sure television coverage is on our side right now.
I really wonder what you must see when you look at the Minneapolis protests. I wonder what you think is missing there. I wonder what you think of all the protests, big and small, across the country that get no press. I wonder if you think what they’re missing is, as the post we’re under posits, the news painting protestors as burning down their cities.

They don’t need to be violent. There are other ways, but mostly its about numbers and leadership. You don’t seem to have either.
