#BlackLivesMatter Thread

No, they don't matter. Nor do white lives. Or red ones, yellow ones, green ones. Nothing matters. The universe doesn't give a warmed over snail shit about any of us.

Black live don't matter. It's official.

One thousand black people dying in Africa would get less coverage than one white American taken prisoner by Isis.

A thousand dead Africans? That's a nice Sunday afternoon. Hell, Jennifer Aniston got more press coverage than the Rawandan genocide. And now the UK has a foreign secretary who calls them "pickaninnies".

I don't see it getting any better in the short run.

Seriously, is the BoJo thing just really dry English humour? (Note how I added the extraneous "u", I'm not one to culturally appropriate anything).

I fully support BLM and their effort to get Trump elected lol

This. I could show then being interviewed and haven't got a clue what they are protesting about, How the ring leaders are funded by George Soros (close as you will get to a real 'Bond villain'.) Race baiters, violent thugs, etc. Though "why interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake" said some French guy.

Yawn. They said the same thing about the Occupy movement. Although, to be honest, I don't know much about BLM past the concept of the twitter tag.

The occupy movement could of have wings and would have grown, after all the common people don't like the 1% and banks 'are too big to fail.' Though the SJW and identity political group took control and anyone with a brain said fuck you guys I'm going home.

What do you think is behind the rejection of establishment politics all around the globe at the moment? This is the same stuff Occupy introduced into the public debate 6 or 7 years ago.

Yeah because nobody else noticed the big fuck up after the 2008 crash and the banks got away scott free.

[pErvinalia]

Oh, so were Occupy on the money or not? You seem to be both agreeing they were and that they weren't.

[cronus]

Popular revolutions, which are the only sort to bring lasting progressive change (and then only half the time) are what you need. Won't happy till the masses are hungry enough to stop bleating and try to escape the butchers farm their penned in. The price of bread dictates both the pace and quality of change, when you want the bread bad enough hey-presto the change happens.

Interestingly in Australia most didn't really notice it. We didn't even have a recession. The banks did get away with it here, but that is largely because they didn't do much wrong as they were comparatively well regulated.
