Pretty sure i saw a thing that the man with the sword died too. There have been multiple fatalities and violent assaults, along with all the destruction.
But ive also seen actual footage of cops beating people with batons who are standing there, pepper spraying them in the face while prone, shooting people with rubber bullets and paintballs.
Tbh its shaken me up a bit, because... If you created the most volatile response possible in a lab, it would be what some of the cops have done. Seriously, they couldnt have played into the oppression rhetoric worse if they tried. And ive seen the rioters acting like savages and being violent and hurting people and destroying. And ive seen cops kneeling and marching eith protestors, and good protestors tackling rioters. There is no black and white take here, its very gray.
This is some of the craziest shit i have ever seen in my life, 2020 in general. Also interesting is both sides are fanning the flames on Twitter, pushing their sides narrative. Like leftists will show peaceful protestors being hurt or threatened, and the right shows rioters and then cops comforting people. But in all seriousness, the overwhelming approval is on the side of the protestors and leftists, as far as twitter goes. That has to be mentioned. The old boomers who arent on twitter are probably disgusted and outraged at the riots.
The hacker group Anonymous is very active on Twitter, and they are actually fanning the flames bad. They are absolutely basking in the chaos, theres some legit unhinged, angry leftists out there and they have more support than youd think. But if a civil war happened, it would be a fucking bloodbath and i dont see the left winning that. Not even close tbh.
Yeah. I agree with basically everything you've said. This is definitely some of the craziest shit, if not THE craziest i've ever seen.
We're definitely more divided now than we have ever been, which i didnt think was possible after COVID, but here we are. I have no idea where the fuck we will be in 6 months. Legitimately, i can normally imagine my life a little further into the future--goals i've set, upcoming events, etc.--i cant honestly imagine any of that right now. Everything seems so uncertain. I thought 2020 couldnt really get worse, and it fuckin took my expectations of ''worse'' and butt raped them 100 times.
