It was a “rubber” bullet, but still.

    But don’t you wish we had status quo now? I could go for a little stability and respect with a side of human rights and investment in the future

      a side of human rights

      You mean like expanding the United States’ illegal drone assassination program?

      That status quo comfort you’re yearning for is exactly what lead us here in the first place.

      That stays quo was built on incredible amounts of violence inflicted on the global south, and now the imperial boomerang is coming back around.

      So no, I don’t wish we had ‘a bit of that status quo’.

      Ah yes love that stability built on the sounds of millions of broken backs it was built upon and the silent screams of the drowning poor. Stings like respect for human life and investment for the rich should.

      Status quo was just ignoring the pain of those that had to be crushed beneath to give the false sense of everything remaining the same for the last 20 years.
      I’m not sad to see it go just mad with what is replacing it.
