What am i missing ?

[Bad_Influence]

I live in england and our issues though vast do not extend to this.

I'm sorry you have to face it

So do I. And we DO extend to this. Be it BLM, environmentalists, anti-Brexit or any other issue, the universities and schools have taught OUR kids that if they shout loud enough they will get what they want. Surely you see that?

Sorry don't know how to quote

"And do you believe the mollycoddled youth of today would happily just sit back and have their hands held by the govt?"

I disagree with the execution however yes they will and do, I know big protests have happened but ultimately in this country we are mollycoddled, every time you shop in Tesco's, buy a shirt from primemark or get a coffee from Starbucks you have already bought into a mollycoddled standard of living one afforded to us so cheaply off the back of international slavery which we all play a part in, alot of those kids will drive cars that have unethical backgrounds fueled on unethical overtaxed gas.

No, they would March through the streets, with placards paid for by Momentum, burning and looting, chanting that the govt have no right to protect the public from them.

Momentum doesn't fund riots political hate does,

Burning and looting is rarely seen and when it is it's done by the opportunists not the revloutionaries

And people never change against the gvt protecting them it's usually more to do with the more oppressive nature of power

And FYI the only countries who where able to react well to covid where the more dictorial ones such as South Korea

_--:;;;;;----

I appreciate your annoyence and share it too the truth is this world's a sick puppy and we only have our selves..... Brothers and sisters in arms, so love your internet friends and please treat them with the respect they deserve

I think it is a tad naive to think Momentum don’t fund demos, they are ingrained into the education system and where do you think these placards and banners come from? And I also disagree that it’s only opportunists and not revolutionaries who abuse these demonstrations, although I will say the opportunist do exist.

We live in an era when, more than ever before, money is power. And that power is wielded for the benefit of the ‘haves’, by the ‘haves’, while Joe and Jane Public are told what to think by a media owned by the same ‘haves’.

Sadly I believe it’s too late, there’s no going back now and maybe in the years to come it’ll all work out for the best but I do fear for the future. George Orwell was a few years out when he wrote 1984 but that Is where we are heading. When Twitter can silence Trump yet allow so many other, far more dangerous individuals to continue spouting their hatred and bile, we know where the true power is.

Then do you not feel that all the protests and other media driven attrocitys are nothing more than a welcome distraction, while we look here the gvt of corporates are allowed to continue in their heinous acts

A distraction, certainly. Welcome, certainly not. I think the division, often in the name of unity, is being fuelled and funded to maintain the distrust of eachother. In general, while we fight amongst ourselves, both gov’ts and corporations can control us, in that lies their strength.
That has been the case throughout history.

By welcome distraction I meant for the powers at be not us!!! Like for example when that statue was being ripped down in bristol for being an icon to slavery in bigon era there was no talk of the very real issues surrounding modern slavery today

I wholly agree. We cannot, and should not, forget the past. We should not pretend it didn’t happen or view it with rose-tinted specs.

But to denounce it while pretending it’s not still happening is shameful in the extreme. However, again it’s the media that fuelled those events, the same media (or social media) which make £billions from the same actions.
We live in a time when an ‘influencer’ is a career choice, a nobody (and generally a vacuous nobody) paid to tell people what to think by the very same ‘haves’ who publicly pretend to be friends of everyone.
