The voice of reason (not the mag)
If we don't shift our priorities we'll stay fucked- I'm not hearing any suggestions though? I love Cornel West but simply blaming capitalism isn't going to change anythingnb
- The suggestion is that that which we have to gain is our own happiness. And that this happines stems from community, individual purpose..(happiness theory)srhadden
- We have to agree on more real priorities for our society (knowing that what there is now doesn't lead to real happiness) (except concentrated spots of it)srhadden
- People are distracted by a material society. Inequality (a logical byproduct of capital that only & always works in its own interest) creates even more tensionsrhadden
- So it's a Herculean task to overcome all this and have people re-evaluate their values, as a group as well as individually, even if it means becoming happysrhadden

I'm all for the right to protest, senseless killings like this should not be tolerable and need to stop.
But some people will take advantage of this rioting for their own political motives, for example this paid shill of the venezuelan government wearing a Hugo Chavez t-shirt on a protest on DC, who runs an "altenative media" outlet:
The venezuelan regime security forces have killed thousands of people, for instance just from this UN investigation 7 thousand people in 2018:

So this guy for example has nothing to say about police brutality when he willingly decides to ignore the ones happening in other countries he likes to support, be it for similar political ideals or because he's getting paid for it.

- and this why I don't sympathize with antifa, they love oppressive governments that kill their own people, they don't give a fuck because it's leftist regimesernexbcn
- to me they are the same kind of cunts as the MAGA ones, only from the opposite extreme of the political spectrumernexbcn
- thats why i dont sympathizse with maga cops coz they actually start the riot.neverscared
- Yeah if I had to guess I would say this guy is on the take from various governments. He comes across as a paid propagandist.yuekit
- Ironically his dad Sidney Blumenthal was close to the Clintons and had pretty much the opposite worldview, very pro American and pro war.yuekit

- You're on to something, very close, unlike most—thanks to having grown up in a Russian satellite regime—but you're still mistaking effect for cause.shaft
- I ain't wrong on this one, you cannot condemn police killings selectively like this asshole doesernexbcn
- I mean who this guy is. He's a regular on RT, come on. That can be a sign of one thing only.shaft

2.3 Million people live in Brooklyn.
Only 3000+ protesters (not all from Brooklyn, but most.)
Of those 3000, only a few are violent, looting or rioting.
Most want peace.We stand in solidarity against racist cops and a power structure that protects them at the cost of human dignity and even life. I recognize that people are angry, fed up, and are losing control. I understand the violent reaction but I don’t support it. I don’t think it will solve anything or bring us together. But I understand why some people feel they have nothing left to lose, so they rage and hope to find peace through violence.
May we all find peace.

Cops and politicians keep saying it’s people “not from here”, from out of state, outside the community, etc.
Lol. There will be protests in all 50 states and they’ll still blame on outsiders.

People are going to go hungry': pandemic effects could leave 54m Americans without food.
A record number of Americans face hunger this year as the catastrophic economic fallout caused by the coronavirus pandemic looks set to leave tens of millions of people unable to buy enough food to feed their families.
Nationwide, the demand for aid at food banks and pantries has soared since the virus forced the economy to be shutdown, resulting in more than 40m new unemployment benefit claims, according to the latest figures.
As a result, an estimated one in four children, the equivalent of 18 million minors, could need food aid this year – a 63% increase compared to 2018.
Overall, about 54 million people across the US could go hungry without help from food banks, food stamps and other aid, according to an analysis by Feeding America, the national food bank network.

Donnie just tweeted that USA will be designating ANTIFA as a terrorist organization.
I haven’t heard about ANTIFA taking part much in these protests.
- Antifa is Anti-facist, how can that be outlawed?
Weird that so many policemen were outed in those crowds smashing things up.PhanLo - https://www.instagra…PhanLo
