I share your sentiment but with the way social media and smartphones connect us today it becomes harder and harder for them to “get away with it” when we can call out bullshit with evidence in near real time.
I’m not sure the George Floyd protests themselves were effective in the long run, but they started because one girl used a smart phone and social media to show the world what cops had been “getting away with” for centuries.
I guess my point is that the tools they use to divide us can also be used to connect us and keep us organized for a sustained movement. I’d like to see protests like yesterdays happen every day of the week till we live in a better society.
Yep. But we should also be aware that new and improved tactics using technology are being employed by the oppressors.
They will put out so many outlandish lies until people seeking truth get exhausted and feel that nothing is real. So the counter is to tune out the lies and stay grounded, stay connected, stay organized, stay focused.
