The videos coming out of China show that the simmering rage has now reached a boil. What triggered it? Sure there's the growing frustration with gratuitous Zero Covid lockdowns, but the timing of the World Cup is revealing. In live broadcasts, Chinese citizens saw large crowds
@mfl_normal @MsMelChen Some of these people protesting will get Covid; some will get long Covid. But just as with the George Floyd protests, sometimes the injustice is so great, it is worth risking your health
@mfl_normal @MsMelChen Your children missed school. But they were not killed by the police. You were not locked into your house or threatened with prison. Try to get some sense of proportion. We have all suffered in one way or another
@tdietterich @mfl_normal @MsMelChen It’s interesting that the good professor would mock the incredible learning loss of tens of millions. Not his problem. Today, anyhow.
@tdietterich @mfl_normal @MsMelChen Spoken like a true slave to the matrix
@tdietterich @mfl_normal @MsMelChen I guess they didn’t get high on fentanyl and point guns at pregnant women either 🤷♂️🤣🤡🌍
@tdietterich @mfl_normal @MsMelChen Want to avoid interactions with the police? Don't commit crimes and listen when your under arrest. That simple. Handle it in the courts. Also avoiding meth and heroine combinations and using real money at stores might even further lower your rate to zero.
@tdietterich @mfl_normal @MsMelChen Perhaps not yet.
@tdietterich @mfl_normal @MsMelChen Not only. Many people in the western countries suffered real economic hardship, emotional trauma due to not seeing sick or dying loved ones etc etc. The difference is the media and intellectual gatekeepers dismissed protests that happened here....
